Windcrest

As I counted stars, gingerly letting the dark of night seep through my fingers, I named all the reasons that I breathed in the sweet twilight nectar.

He smells like the untouched earth,
Looks like the shine of the Moon,
Feels like the sting of the thorn,
He his after me.

When I try to look away,
Its soft, spindling fingers
Lightly beckon me to look back
At the swirling joys and sorrows
Of the world.

Half wolf, half human,
The shapeshifting is happening,
We trade our hands for thick paws,
Our bear skin for lush fur,
Our useless ears for pointed ones,
We are the Biohybrids.

Have you ever looked at a tree?
Not just look at it, but really look,
Watching the leaves as they flow and flutter
Gently in the breeze.

They say you’re full of rainbows and unicorns.
Those rainbows are the many shades of black,
And those unicorns are endowed with bat wings,
Laced mockingly with the life that they lack.

Now it lives inside us both,
Because we share a soul.
A dark shadow looming above
Crying crimson tears

Just click the "read more," won’t you?

I look, but do not see
I listen, but do not hear
I touch, but do not feel

My carpet and sheets
Are stained a crimson red

There are dangers
Behind the sweetest things.
Like cupcakes for example.
They taste really good,
They look really good,
But not on your thighs…

The blade slices the flesh.
You put your fingers in the cut,
Tilt your head up,
And smile.

We say "goodbye" about a thousand times,
But we never get around to hang up.

Tick, tick, it’s Mother Nature
Quack quack, it’s a cow
Tweet tweet, it’s a fish
Cock-a-doodle-do…
Don’t ask.

Love is like a rose,
You are my beautiful peals,
I am your painful thorns.

You said you’re not afraid to live,
And not afraid to die.
Not afraid to face your fears,
Not afraid of tears. But why?

This is my Blood Song,
This is my grave.
This is what is wrong.
This is what you made.

A shell to protect
from Emotion’s sharp fangs

For when she dies,
Love will die,
And Death will rule

Our paws pound,
Our tails whip,
Our tendons sing,
As we race
Through the darkness.
