Poet Introduction
"I don't like my mind right now, stacking up problems that are so unnecessary. Wish that I could slow things down; I want to let go right now, but I find there's comfort in the panic. And I drive myself crazy, thinking everything's about me."

saga of transformation (pt.2)
seven long years have such haggard feet tread hostile, uneven ground.

discordance, dissonance, static that ripples echoes across the expanse of a fractured mind.
how to breach, broach, subjects that had once been open tomes; now locked tight.

oh, the bile spewed by a lamb with no limb to stand.
it thinks itself a wolf with jelly fangs, bark but incapable of bite.

it was scant morning when i felt your loss jostle me from my slumber
to rip through me like serrated teeth to the point of breathlessness.

nas'falon pt.3
there will never be enough words to accurately describe just what we have found - but i will give it my all with this verse.
you came into my life during a time when i thought i'd taken my final bow; helping me climb back from the abyss and showed me life anew. with a steadfast smile, you have cradled my demons, validated my fears and have loved me as i come and not for something i could never be.
like the sun, you have brought light and warmth to an otherwise dismal existence - casting away the shadows that once plagued my very bones and help my petals blossom. with...

i can no longer abide the selfish nature which dictates your heart,

dear mother pt. 1
i can scarcely fathom, begin to unpack
the stars i once saw in your eyes, burnt out beyond repair
a husk of a once nurturing soul, now plagued
the voices, they come, they come from the abyss
and yet i cannot tell you, you won't comprehend what 'he'
he, who is he, what he desires.

nas'falon pt.2
in the end, you had simply been lying to yourself - you did love him romantically; it has been long since you proclaimed your intentions, one that had been received and returned in the most positive manner.
no longer do the voices garble and claw incessantly, chased away by a knight of heart who fought tooth and nail for your smile alone.
the fear that engulfed, the terror that blinded, it still remains; for there are still many trials and gauntlets you must face - but now, they will not be alone.
within a day, the lives of elf and knight will forever...
