I March On
The Wound of Seven Years
I didn’t want you to see.
Not my tears.
Not my pain.
Not today.
I didn’t want you to know. Continue reading
Covenant of Haven Hearth – edited again
May the light reach the darkness.
May the darkness embrace the light.
Never to be severed;
One can not be without the other.
May these gates forever open unto you.
May you be strengthened.
Come and be welcomed
Within this soul sanctuary.
May you rise within the twilight.
May you preserve the balance.
Come home to Haven Hearth
and stand as one of us. Continue reading
Bleeding
unfolding, like so many petals
the vulnerability exposed
as the heart opens up
memories of what has passed
knowing what is to come
tug like a lost child’s hand
difficult and reserved
tears of impurity etching
skin no longer young
a mere shadow
not quite forgotten
stands here bleeding Continue reading
Just Let them Fall (Rue’s Requiem)
In solitude I stand, alone
Knowing
My world is ending
My heart is breaking
My soul is dying
Barely making sense of it all
In shame I stand, alone
Sensing
Joy elude me
Pain consume me
The gods abuse me
Mocking me at every turn
In silence I stand, alone
Allowing
The world crash down
Around me,
The chaos subdue me
Using strength that I don’t feel
So many tears
I’ve cried in sorrow
So many tears
I’ve cried in so much regret
So many tears
I’ve cried so many tears
Let the tears fall
Let them flow
Let them cleanse my soul
Let the tears fall
Let them flow
Until I feel whole
Just let them fall . . .
Just let them fall.

Salvation’s Spell
May he find happiness.
May he find joy.
May she be treated better than I had been.
May the lies come to an end.
May I be free henceforth.
As it is in my heart,
it is in the heavens above
and on the earth below…
So Mote It Be.
