Ambassador of nature’s grace
housed in crystal embassy
standing tall and drinking deep
from the echoes of her land
Crimson strands fall at her feet
during days of stately death
until with her lowered head
she at last resigns her post
He lays her withered body down
at the feet of countrymen
and with sharpened shears in hand
fatefully appoints her heir
transient thought
sometimes i just have to write
about nothing in particular
before nothing is gone

On hold
A fog of fear surrounded her,
one soul in a sea of strangers
loosely bound by misery.
While families huddled, waiting
in minute theaters of tragedy, she
dreaded the sudden end of hers.
This unexpected day was yet familiar.
He was sworn to protect her,
to save them all from monsters.
But mired in forced patience she
could not help but dwell on one
damning question.
Why can’t someone else save them?
And guilt ensnared her, baited
by the terror of impending solitude.
one soul in a sea of strangers
loosely bound by misery.
While families huddled, waiting
in minute theaters of tragedy, she
dreaded the sudden end of hers.

idea, almost
i am lost inside myself
adrift, seeking
will it rescue me
unknown fate lingers, taunting
others surround me
common, connected
it reaches out victorious
embrace the lightning, friend
i stray into darkness
obscure, abstract
i feel it searching
shadows engulf me, unyielding
my beauty is unrewarded
unaware, unclaimed
it pursues another
luminescence fading, fading
was i ever really here
adrift, seeking
will it rescue me
unknown fate lingers, taunting
others surround me
common, connected
it reaches out victorious
embrace the lightning, friend
i stray into darkness
obscure, abstract
i feel it searching
shadows engulf me, unyielding
my beauty is unrewarded
unaware, unclaimed
it pursues another
luminescence fading, fading
was i ever really here
