Fears
Moonlight shines through windows barred, into shadow darkened room. Illuminating all my scars, and brightening the gloom. Demon's claws rake across my skin. They all try and break me, with a taunting grin. I try and hold them off, but I know I...
Hypocrisy
You curse my name. You hate my face, Berate me, and put me in my place. Call me names, and scar me deep. But for this, I will not weep. I am who I am, and I won't be changed. You can try, but you will fail. Leaving you deranged. I laugh and...
Perspective
Pieces crumble and fall around me as I fall into my pit. Gnashing teeth and eyes surround me taunting me to quit. Sharp sticks and cracking whips. The rattle of the cage. These things I know all too well, send me into rage. Bound by arm and...
Knowing
You think you know pain? I can tell you, that you're wrong. To be so far away, yet love someone so strong. Never getting to see them, never to feel their touch. That my friend is true pain, and it hurts far too much. Waking up to an empty bed....
Pain
Tears stream down my face, here I sit alone. Will this be my torture? For my sins, must I atone? I reach for you, and you back away. What are your fears? You used to hold me tight. Used to wipe away the tears. But now you seem to hate me, rip...
Serene
Soft, unbroken silence. Gentle kiss of wind. A bright new morn. You think it will never end. But when dark clouds gather. Thunder shakes the ground. A tremble in the air. And no shelter can be found. Look towards the horizon. Wait for the...
If only
If only but for a second, could I look into your eyes, then no evil could hold it's sway. If only but for a minute, could I taste your lips upon mine, then for this I surely pray. If only but for an hour, could I hold you in my arms, then...
A simple test
It dawns on us. The death of man. You can't escape. It is the plan. So dark and cold, is the unknown. You only know, what you are shown. But can you see, what is to see? Look past the veil. Look past the sea. The lies, the cries, the...
Do you believe in love stories?
* * * We met by happenstance. A lucky roll of the dice. All because of a person, with a heart made of ice. He broke us both, then left us alone. I had felt, that I had been turned to stone. But there you were. As miserable as I. We found...
A Saxhleel Story: prologue
The night was warm, and a light breeze rustled through the branches. The moons shone bright in the night sky. The torches around the village crackled. It was (almost) a night like any other in the marshes, but something was amiss, something not quite...
Forlorn
The clock strikes twelve. The echo rings. It chimes, it tolls, and of memories it does sing. Of past success or recent failure. Love, lust, or simply pleasure. As the hours tick by ever so slow. I can't help but wonder where I will go. Certainly...
A Saxhleel Story: Prelude
It was a typical night in the marsh. The two moons hung brightly in the sky illuminating a small rain soaked village. The native lizard folk milled around, going about their typical nightly routines. Some talked amongst themselves while others ate or...
