The Moon That Embraces the Sea
When I wake in the night From what, I can never be sure I feel you all around me And I know I am secure. Your embrace is warm Encompassing me while I sleep Dreaming the taste of your kiss Knowing you're mine to keep. You light up my whole...
Forsaken
Forsaken I was not sure where I had been taken, where I'd woken up. The mossy aroma of earth and compost seized my nostrils forthwith. I nearly felt as if I might sneeze with the pungent potency of it. My dubious sight fought to focus fruitlessly,...
Second-Hand Life
"You can't leave now," Luke says softly, his voice barely audible in the chilly autumn air. He stands up as if to leave, holding out a hand to stop me from following after him. I anxiously await his signal that all is well as he creeps along the filthy...
LIttle Brother
I follow him around the debris-strewn room, the filthy pallet of the floor tripping me as I try to make my way through. It's so absurd to imagine that he actually lives here in this destruction. It's as if I've walked into an abandoned building, but I...

The Lonely King
Verse I I'm sitting on my throne Looking for a place of my own I'm tired of feeling alone Why don't you pick up the phone? Why do you feel the need To cut me open and watch me bleed? Even though I'm still your king The jester's the only one...
