Eternal Sunshine
Eternal sunshine surrounds both our souls
We wander through clouds and dance on tiptoes,
Swirling to rhythms -which we only hear,
The menace of darkness, we no longer fear.
The sky, now our playground, we take a twirl,
Two spirits, one flame, watch us unfurl;
Our bodies glide closely -as hearts triple beat,
Kisses on lips sways -as our skin overheats.

Broken Promises
You promised.
you promised we'd grow old together-
that we'd build a home in forever-
we’d travel the world...
Y o u p-r-o-m-i-s-e-d
You promised we’d share a thousand dreams,
that we’d build foundations to rival ideals.
You promised-
no matter what, we’d overcome adversities,
you promised and at the first hurdle you d i s a p-p-e a r e d...
You promised-
the skies and all that's beyond,
you promised eternity
to love, cherish and hold.
You promised,
you promised-
then pulled apart us through the seams;
the going was getting tough,
you faltered at the start;
your promises failed me
tearing us apart...
You promised me pocketfuls of promised dreams
Since when did promises become verbal abuse filled fields?
Since when did promises cause tears to bleed?
You promised

Darkened Shores
So it began,
The swift culling of the land
A martyr
A villain
Innocent blood spilt, silence screaming out loud.
So it begins…
Atop a high tower,
Perched on burning thrones
Ashes corrupting souls
Unifying end goals
The light of man
Now a dying breed.
So hence it was decreed.
Games of lost swords
Plunged into discord
An eye
A tooth
Slayer, slew, sleuthed
To who is the hero- if the hero’s skewed?
Dark was once light
Our light overcast;
Roles have reversed
Lies well versed.
Once, said saviour- now holding a noose,
pray tell me who’s mission
Is to kill each season?
Upholding the truth, was honour and reason
Now if one speaks up, they’re taken for treason.
Where do lies end and gallantry begins?
Awaken your eyes, see past all the disguise
Before it’s too late
Unveil all the hate
Illuminate your mind
Say goodbye to blind-kind.
The swift culling of the land
Will keep if no one stands,
So rise and stand-forth
Time’s ours not those on darkened shores…

Fire & Ice
On thin ice I walk
shattering my core
fire and hailstones are born
convoluting my mind
confusing my inner most hidden flaws...
On ice I walk
cracking underneath the heat
erupting the rage of despair
my tiny feet unaware
my existence falling, crawling, fraying...
Fire burns my inner essence
knawing at my sacred needs
desire simmers
molten core combusting
my ice cage no longer sure,
unable to contain what lingers when it rains...
Icicles pierces in places where pain no longer remains
hot and cold,
senses rush wild abandon
no longer coy,
no longer afraid...
Fire and ice
damnation in sight
atop an iced throne
I drown...
resurfacing a phoenix
alive
aware
rebirth brings a strength of which is really rare...

Lakes & Dragons
From within the surface of the lake
bubbling droplets evaporates,
e s
c
a
p
e
s.
Waves ripples
as Herbert giggles-
roaming
along
sandy
beds.
Herbert's wingspan is mighty grand-
with silvery scales oh so fine.
Hopscotch's his game
he hops Skips
and
along the lake bed
nice and quick
without waves never
him would be...
On occasions he would simmer
beyond the surface-
searching for dinner.
He'll pounce and ROARRR
(and breathes real fire)-
he does this almost every hour;
causing lakes' water to
m

s
t-
And you thought dragons did not exist...
