Yew trees
Yew trees cast shadows out as nets,
the stars forming satanic cults.
Parched veins of the mystical
burn celestial eyes alight.
Magic stalks through the air
interlaced with danger;
whilst the capricious are slain
with a singular slanted thought.
Wry eyes smoothed marble
dare brave the legends that
live behind truths deceit;
slinking along borders of fantasy.
Gemini twins twist time around
their fingers, taking from the
rich to give to the poor.
Determination identical.
Craven hearted, multiple minded,
kidnapping light for defense.
Yew trees unfurl their claws,
dislocated joints snap into place.
Captured.

I have had the pleasure of reading a handful of your poems. They are all amazing. This is as well. My mind is kind of blown away by how talented you are. Have you been writing poems for a long time or are you just naturally gifted?
