FANS

darkness

never so much as dew awakens you
in the shade of light
and the brightness of night
eternal slumber

Alone In The Storm

Thunder, rolling across the plains
It doesn't come alone
Bringing with it, new life
So quiet and serene
The showers it brings, cleanses
Gently it falls into open hands
Washing away darkness
Never to be turned away
Thunder doesn't come alone
Its loyal friend, brightening the sky
Across the sky, the story is told
It is the same for all of us.

I Sit, Said the Phoenix

I sit.
The fire; crashing, crackling around me.
Yet, I sit.
The being I once was is no more.
I sit, quietly.
No longer shall I fear what is unknown.
I sit. I live.
All will be known to me.
I sit with you.
The heros and the forgotten, one and the same.
I sit with them. Here.
Where I sat before.
And shall sit again.
To rise, with them.

all that remains

Life goes in circles
As the moon shines as a beacon
Nothing remains in life

Spring Arrives

I am the breeze, frozen but never motionless
I bring warmth, yet chase it away
The birds chirp yet the air is still cold

Taken Away

I've taken away my friends, my family,
Distanced myself from close personal contact.
Not so much as a hug or a pat on the back,
My cat is the only one who settles down close to me.
I talk to few, I see even fewer.
Only in academia do I connect with others,
Eye contact is the closest we get.
Do you see the distress in my eyes,
The longing to be close to another?
How can you know what it's like
To be without a friend to look over your shoulder
Or to sit and watch a movie with you?
Can you remove all those who are close to you
And live your life without a simple gesture
Or the warmth of another's hand on your skin?
Can you remove intimacy and romance?
Not as a vow of celibacy, but instead
A defense to survive, to never be harmed again.

Despair of Youth

Nobody listens.
Listen to what you can hear.
I am not like you!
