First to Fall Well it’s that time again, as the outside temperature gets colder and I can stand to be here no longer. I know the onslaught that devastates my kind is coming soon enough and I can’t afford to be late for my demise. Ironically, it is my turn to usher in this new era of death and decay alone. I will be the first to fall.First to Fall1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This

I just flew away form here

The Day Before Judgement Night The day of salvation has begun, sadly. The hours of Judgement day were starting soon, and I had little time to see my love, Sibyl.

or even pondered,
What it's like to cross the line?
That thin white line?
Between body and mind?
Between space and time?
Between death and life?
Between peace and strife?
Ever considered crossing that line?
Such a thin line,
Between right and wrong?
Between noise and a song?
Between love and hate?
Between chance and fate?
Walking from white to black,
Or even considering to cross back?

Everything in-between?
From prose to poetry?
From dream to reality?
From darkness to light?
From suffering to delight?
From joy to sorrow?

Wing-less angelI once knew a personWing-less angel3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Who turned things around
He showed me truth within lies
Without making a sound
But things have changed since then
Not really for the best
And now I miss the times when
Nothing seemed like a test
He never followed rules
Or trends, or crowds
He said people that do are fools
And for them, it was 'no thinking allowed'
But now that guy is off
Doing bigger, better things
But still, I remember to scoff
For that angel without the wings
Chin high
Shoulders back
Walk with pride, he said
Dare to die
For things you lack
'Cause pride is never dead
So when they shove you down
Shove them back

He protects her from harm
And they finally find something to love
Scream like you're dyin'
Laugh till you're cryin'
Carve your names into a Filbert Tree
Dream that you're flying
To the stars, out of hiding
Because someday, I swear, you'll be free.

The sun never came
To this land of the desperate souls
But the longer you wait
Your reward will be great

I once told myself to accomplish greatness

smoke and the rough-hewn edges of the
boundary between earth and sky.
Cowardice is a stuttering, a slowly decreasing
stepwise function, an ordinate forged
of dreams set aside. It is not some
property of a person; it is an evolution
made manifest in time.
Fleet of foot in the rain. Given enough space,
perhaps one can return to Abaddon; lungs heavy
in blood and ash, standing steady atop
the mossy crags at the mountain-peak.

Holding to my hands and feet.
