All the souls of crumbled pages
Followed kings and murdered queens
Dripping fear across the ages

I am dancing in the warmth
That serves as my boat
Across the sea of entangled dreams

The stars seem to align
Our path is shone clearly
And we feel the strength

A kiss that lingers
On the lips of its victim

The forest seemed to grasp at us, tripping us, ensnaring us in its branches. The farther we ran the denser it became, until our pace slowed to a desperate crawl.

The woman was clothed in a flowing green gown of the lightest material, pale and almost transparent, it clung to her skin like my tongue clung to the roof of my mouth.

You evaporated
Like hot breath
On cold air.

White lilies for peace,
Red roses for love…

Oh no, I’ve never been,
Down to the wild glen,
Where the red, red roses grow…

I growl at her, my tail stiffening, my back arching. She backs off, still laughing…

Nothing left to do but run, so I flee. I scurry up my tree, The Big It’s howl following me into my home…

A sneeze is a simple thing, unless it belongs to The Great Hippo Who Lives In the Center of the Earth. A sneeze belonging to such a hippo is a terrible thing indeed.

Blind
Yet somehow strangely seeing
New lights in this alien darkness…

Hunger never made itself known, nor thirst, nor fear. Danger eluded him. Peace filled him and a sense of calm laid over him like a blanket.

The echoes of society sound so ominous…

The nobles by the noble tree,
Sat or stood and watched as he…

Can I raise my voice to you,
Can I stand before your throne…

Mist creeping towards me
Strokes my cheek and wipes the tears away…

For I sat outside the church of God,
It was the lords very own law,
That the devil couldn’t take me so near,
No the devil couldn’t me here…

The man removed his helmet and smiled at her. He was unbelievably, ridiculously, impossibly handsome. He was almost ugly he was so handsome.
