Battle Song { #ImmoralChroniclesOfAMortalWorld }

Open your mind to the world,
Your heart, a fortress, flag unfurled,
Protect, shield, battle, conquer,
Be Queen or King, never surrender,
This is your life, your kingdom,
An imaginative reality, a freedom.
Hold on with all your might,
At arms! March! Be ready to fight!

Nyx

That girl? She smiles.
She smiles, she laughs,
She laughs till it hurts,
Then clutching her stomach, cries.
The tears break through broken sobs,
The shuddering shoulders, the drying throat,
The hot cheeks, the feverish head,
All dry up as she lies in bed
And she breathes and breathes again,
Her eyes on the ceiling, lights off,
Pondering thoughtlessly, wishing, dreaming,
Hoping that the ceiling would break through
And the sky drizzles down, cooling her flesh,
And the clouds clear up, revealing the starry sky.
She fixes her gaze on the moon,
Then wanders to the star and smiles,
She smiles and she laughs,
Laughs till the sun comes out
And sleep carries her away,

Away to another world...

The Diary

Let’s keep writing, you and I
While the world keeps fleeing by and by
Pick that pen and start off with my
First page, then two, then three, then fly!
Let that ink on that page glide
Then dive in back to the other side
Where no feeling, no secret you’d need to hide
Bring your soul to life back from when it died.
I see you struggle, I watch you weep,
To them a straight face you must keep,
But not here, let those emotions seep,
Through the pages of your heart so deep,
Yes I will listen, yes I will hear,
Every story of all that you hold dear,
Of regret, of guilt, of acts so queer,
That a laugh escapes the broken tear,
I’m here; I’ll read every word you write,
I can’t speak but I’ll remember all you cite,
And maybe, who knows, I just might,

Pop out these pages and show you the light!
