The fire burned inside him
His temper followed suit
By light of day, a mortal
By night, immortal pursuit

The demons preyed upon him
Though he fought, a valiant fight
He could never win the battle
Twas a human’s only plight

He tried his best to break away
Their powers grew much stronger
Pulled him apart, his body gave
He couldn’t bare it any longer

They enveloped him in powers
No mere mortal could contain
Never again, to walk the earth
Locked inside an immortal plane

thunderstorm-501914_960_720Clouds come together

In a battle of power

Colliding, one into the other

Clashing, crashing

A calamitous clamor

Like a toddler

Incessantly banging a drum

The rhythm of beautiful noise

Disobeying Venus
He finds cause to bleed
Beautiful Psyche looks for love
He plants the sacred seed

Cupid finds delight
Keeping secrets from his quest
She obeys his commands
In hope, she will be blessed

When sisters prey upon her
Their jealousy prevails
Psyche grabs an arrow
On her lover, she assails

He escapes, her only fear
Flies away, and leaves her be
Seems Cupid’s betrayal of the gods
Was an act of conspiracy

Immortals have their way
In the magic that they carry
Human’s leave their mark
Upon their adversary

Springtime, senses wake

With the sound of falling rain

On quiet mornings

I let you throw daggers at me, from afar

You watched, as my heart slowly bled

Piercing my chest, this imminent pain

I wondered if you wished I was dead

The anger in your eyes, unsettling

They were blank, I was no longer there

You killed me, without saying a word

I knew now, you just didn’t care

Years of fighting within myself

Excuses, kept me hidden in the dark

Trying to cover the scars on my soul

Sadly, your hate left its mark
