#21 - Envy

-

 

She had no home in the world,

living in solitude in her venomous cave

which was filled with the poison of her fury.


She envied the beauty of those who lived above her,

the goddesses who sat on their thrones in the skies

or the ones who lurked among the mortals in disguise.


She cursed those who visited her,

but not the gods and goddesses

for she did fear them greatly.


Her shimmering black hair,

which trailed along the rocky grounds when she stood,

was soaked in the black blood of her foes.


Her menacing gaze with the evil light in her eye,

pierced the souls of those who saw her.


On her hundredth year of living in the cave,

she put a dagger through her heart.

The spirits of the mortals she had murdered

were revived, and they celebrated her passing all together.


They pulled her body to the shore

and threw her into the sea

where she sank to the bottom and was forgotten forever…

Water drips down my face and falls silently to the ground. No blessings are heard, no light is seen. Stars dance across the ballroom, smiling mysteriously down at me. I hear the voices of my future, whispering through the mist.

#24 - Night's Fate

-
  Tonight the lights flicker on and off as they die away into the the nighttime sky, whose raging flames  have been put out by the child’s endless tears. Tonight we gaze up at sadness’s arrival, which sears through our souls although it is covered by the lifeless gray and blue cloth. Tonight the clock ticks for another hour before it’s death, and crumbles to specks of dust drawn into the sky ending Time himself, who vanishes off to a parallel universe.

#22- The Forest Between Us

-
  The silent woods are watching us, the magic forest’s charm. Life keeps us from the mountain’s rising peak. You stand there motionless, I wait for you, but you’ve long, long forgotten me. The silent woods are watching us. Across the forest, I call to you. But you have already drifted  far away from me.
