She's Having a Baby |
She, more my sister than some of closer blood. It is now that I really feel the miles between us. For me it was always a given That I'd be there for her wedding, For the birth of her first child. I am not and it feels so strange. We have always been so different, But gotten along so well. Physically, she was shadow, I was bright. In spirit, I was darkness She was light. She was the calm, And I the storm. I the traveler, While she was home. Our minds were both so full, We always had things to talk about. No matter how dark I was, Her laughter always sparked a light. I really miss that girl.

Quiet Titans |
There are loons, and then there are Loons. The cries of the morose echoing across empty lakes.
Shadows imprinted, the trappings of time

Shadowdance |
Trembling, I cannot stop it. My chest tightens, shadows closing in. I can feel them wash over my soul Caressing my arms, burning fingertips. Constriction, needing to touch Treacherous heart betraying integrity Breathe shadow child, breathe. Taste the sky, feel the storm Lashes sweep low, kiss my cheeks I rock to the rhythm of my own desires Hold them behind your lips The urges you dare not speak. I strain against the tethers Muscles cord and ripple Only to relax again, Washed by conflicting tides. I lean back, stretching taunt My bindings, only to relent Slender fingers, palms kiss the wall I rest my forehead against brick and sigh. |
