By day, his bare footprints traced the shoreline's contour.
At dusk, beneath his dress slacks' cuffs, he wore socks (softer, sheerer

and the stars, beginning just after twilight... [read more] |

Awake my breath, before the night descends.
I sink into the abyss, where stars do not remember my name.
I sail a dead moon, cradling borrowed peace beneath an uncaring sky.
Shadows stretch and multiply, darkness awakens without mercy.
It devours... [read more] |
Nivagsg3 posted a new Poem titled The Smile That Stayed 8 weeks ago
Within the void lies a fragment,
Whose beam outshines the realms above,
In her light, reason itself is burned to ash,
There, my heart dares not give itself a voice,
One fleeting taste of her smile,
and my world is born again [read more] |

Spiders dance across the calliope's

eight-legged, their complex choreographies
bring sound to the nosferatu, on rotted ears:
that damned, bloodthirsty spawn of Belial
