her dress was indigo. I watched her look across the harbour, her tears as perfect as the sea. She didnt want to look at me; i could understand that. I shuffle my feet, clamping the words brimming at my lips in between my teeth. The wind whipped at our clothes, raising goosebumps on our skin. Crouching down, she placed the candle into the water. It bobbed for a few seconds, before drifting out in the choppy water. I slid backwards a bit, allowing her time to say goodbye. She hugged herself, trying to remember what it was like to feel warm. We follow the candle; a thousand memories racing behind our eyes. I remember his laughter, the flecks of
Hope shines around me, but does not penetrate me. The world is light, brighter than a flame burning low on a candlewick. I move, eating up the land with my feet like a dark cloud on a pale horizon. I can taste blood bitter on my lips as i walk past a forest of saplings. Tender leaves whisper to me of fallen kings and dead love. Flowers bloom red, indigo and orange. I do not look, nor care of the beauties of this world. I am unfeeling and unmoving. The forest falls behind me, the land barren once again. Wind kisses my skin gently, trying to blow the hardness from my heart. I do not stop. I do not hesitate. I descend, slowly, into the valley, t
My skin is on fire. I am snarling, roaring, blazing. My blood explodes in my veins, tearing my heart to a trillion pieces. I am a demon, caged and starving. My eyes see a kaleidescope of red. My limbs quiver, my mind vicious. My voice screams and pierces the crisp air so that it crackles. I am clawing, straining, dying. I am a beast, violent and wild. i am consumed.
My eyes are downcast. I shuffle along, barely in control of my own limbs and actions. My thoughts are wrapped with soft, sweet sorrow. The memories vibrate underneath my skin. I close my eyes, and i can see you. It's as if you're here, watching my every move. i smile to myself, shaking your spirit off my mind. I hear the deafening clang as the steel bars slide into place behind me. I cling onto you, hoping you can get me through one more day in this prison. The distant whispers of the guards fall away, leaving me alone one last time. I know i can't stay here. It's as if sanity is seeping away from me already. I hear your voice, guiding me. An
Moonlight bathed her skin, entrancing Loran. He stared hungrily at her curves, her oval eyes the colour of smooth, black pebbles. She leaned over the balcony, her rich silk gown shifting over her body, and plucked a rose from a hanging vine. Bringing the flower close to her heart shaped face, she uttered a spell from her scarlet lips. The flower bloomed in her slim hands, withered and died. Roran followed the petals as they fell passed her wrists. Smiling, she released the stem, watching it float in the breeze. Loran flattened himself against the stone pillar, hiding from her view. He was forbidden to venture this far into the castle, and if
I can still taste a fragment of your kiss on my lips
I can still feel your light breath on my bare skin
I can still see you walking away with your head hung low
How come i can still smell the cheap flowers you bought me last week?
How come i can still sense you close to me like a shadow?
How come the air billows between us as if we're a thousand miles apart even though
Your close enough to trace my spine with your touch?
How come tears taste different when they aren't laced in despair?
Why does the darkness hides us, yet it still insists on scaring us?
We still sleep with the light on...
Why is the light the answer to everything?

He uncurled his palm slowly, revealing the withered frame of a dying orchid. Tears i thought i had shed long ago sprang to my eyes. The orchid had always beena sign of our union. His last tribute to me.
"I picked it from the fields of Rewan", he whispered hoarsly, " It was so beautiful Plesa, it was so beautiful before we came and destroyed it all."
I nodded, clutching his weak body to mine. I couldnt see him properly, his face was wavering through my tears. A fragment of light shone on his deathly pale skin.
He stared at me through his vivdly purple eyes. " Goodbye Plesa, my love..."
I closed my eyes, though i was strong, i wasn't stron
I opened my eyes to a battle ridden sky. The clouds were stained red and gold by fire and smoke. people were screaming and crying from pain and rage. I couldn't move. I could barely speak. I was considered one of the greatest warriors ever seen to this dying empire, but at this moment I was lying on the flat of my back in the middle of a war. Curling my fingertips around my battleaxe, I tried with all my might to get back up on my feet, but my body remained stubbornly in the mud. Blood caked my lips. Rain stained my skin. I was going to die.
I felt rather than saw him coming towards me. He pushed through the battle, seeking me with his mind.
