Scorched Earth

Scorched EarthIn the tormented aftermath of the inferno that had savagely feasted upon our town, a suffocating pall of ash smothered any vestiges of life. The once vibrant chatter of neighbors and children playing had given way to a haunting silence, an oppressive stillness that wrapped around me like a shroud. I could almost hear […]

Ode to the Unyielding Heart

Ode to the Unyielding Heart Amidst the shadows deep and cold,Where echoes of despair are sold,Your heart remains both fierce and bold.Within the chilling dark’s embrace,Where specters taunt with icy grace,Your spirit strides with scornful pace.The gloom that settles, heavy, still,Cannot quench your fire, nor willIt ever bend your iron will.From depths where dread and

Salvaged Fire

Salvaged FireAsh rains where the laughter died.Debris chokes the broken street.We sweep with calloused hands,searching for a spark, for heat— the skyline, jagged as broken teeth,still promises something living underneath. Heartbeat drums its stubborn code:carry this. carry this. carry this. They think we’re buried. Done.Think the night swallowed the sun whole. But we claw our

Long Time Coming

Verse 1We lit the match in Salem, buried daughters for a storm,Hung the truth from crooked branches, swore the ghost was just the norm.Built our churches on the bones, called the screams a sacred sound,Left the haunted rooms wide open, let the devils gather round.Evil wears our Sunday best now, hides in suburbs, grins in

Ode to Courage in the Catacombs

Ode to Courage in the Catacombs In the catacombs where shadows creep,Where silence wraps the earth in deep,There stirs a force from ancient sleep,A courage fierce, no soul could keep.Within these tombs where darkness weeps,And ghostly secrets never sleep,Your spirit wakes from endless sweep,A flame ignites where shadows seep.O darkened halls, where whispers creep,You cradle

In the maze of Night

In the maze of Night In the maze of night, your soul’s resolve remains alight,Through endless halls where shadows crawl,Your spirit fights, a beacon bright.Where darkness drapes in shrouded might,And every step echoes a call,In the maze of night, your soul’s resolve remains alight.Amidst the gloom where fears ignite,Your heart’s fire burns through the pall,Your

Inferno

InfernoIn the belly of a monstrous inferno, I was imprisoned within the rotting husk of a once-magnificent structure. My heart thundered in my chest, vying for dominance over the terrifying roar of the beastly blaze that surrounded me, ravenously devouring anything within their fiery reach. Encaged in this insatiable maze, the air I choked on

In the Ember’s Glow

“In the Ember’s Glow” (Free Verse Structure)Verse 1The embers flicker in the night,A fading glow of what we were.You used to be the light that kept me warm,But now,It’s just the cold that’s left.The fire between us once burned so high—Now all I see is smokeAnd shadows.Verse 2I wonder if you feel it too,The way
