The Moon’s Ancient Tune

The Moon’s Ancient Tune Beneath the cold and silent moon,Your spirit finds its ancient tune.The night, a shroud of icy breath,Embraces you with chill of death.Yet in this frozen, spectral boon,Your heart begins its eerie croon.When shadows stretch and phantoms swoon,In darkness, where the lost commune,Your essence hums a ghostly rune.The moon, a witness to

The Flame’s Confession

The Flame’s ConfessionDevoting my existence to the relentless pursuit of fire’s wrath, I learned to decipher the hushed murmurs it leaves in its smoky aftermath. Each time I stood before the charred remains of a once vibrant structure, I felt an unyielding pull, as if the very essence of destruction beckoned me closer. Years spent

Specters of Despair

Specters of Despair In shadows they linger,Specters’ whispers echo,Their dread fills the night.Haunted air breathes cold,Soft voices of despair hum,You walk through the chill.Ghostly wails lament,Through darkened, endless corridors,Your courage stands firm.Dark clouds stretch and fold,Their whispers a bitter cold,Yet you burn with fire.In the gloom’s tight grasp,You press forward, spirit bright,Undaunted by fear.Silence breaks

Specters of the Past

Specters of the Past Among the specters of the past,Your dreams stand firm, forever vast.In haunted halls where shadows crawl,Your visions tower, daring all.Though phantoms mock and darkness sprawl,Your will remains, defying thrall.Among the specters of the past,Your dreams stand firm, forever vast.In cryptic whispers, ghosts deride,Yet dreams of yours refuse to hide.The ancient fears,

She Burns Clean

She Burns Cleannothing survives her,no wreckage left to sift when she is done,just scorched-bare ground and the trace of her perfume,a man who cannot remember how to run. She pressed against me like summer asphalt,all heat and pressure at the seam,kissed like combustion, like the air caught fire,and I woke up smoke where I had
