mad

-

let me go mad for you

i will take on the world's armies

scream the foulest battlecries

to bring you back from the fount of death


let me go mad for you

tear the very wretched things apart

claw through an ocean of screams

to spark life into your irises


to be mad, to be enraged, to lost all my sanity

these are paltry gifts to offer for you, sweetness

for you i would wring them all dry

to wet your thirst cracked mouth


let me clutch your heart

and howl at the unfaithful moon

let me take them all in gulps

to swallow and spit their essence for you


i would do so much for you

i am but a small thing

you are my everywhere

i want you to be mine

and not theirs


so let me cling, and let me fray

for if I unravel, at least

I can fall for you again

Light and Dark. A Love Story.

-
He first saw her, laughing, with her companions. He never ventured out much, and lurked in his world, living alone, watching. Until today. She was bright. Her eyes. Her hair. Even her voice was clear and light, laughing so it sounded musical. The wind played with her skirts, enveloping her slim body until it was wrapped in diaphanous clouds. She was holding flowers in her hands, leaning in to smell the fragrance, her lips parted in a soft sigh. He started a little, catching his breath, and she saw him. What did he look like to her? A dark figure, wrapped in darkness? A young man, thrown out by his heartless family, reduced to this? She looked into his eyes, and he read them, They were full of fear, a little awe, and slight pity. He had retreated back into his forest. He did not want to be pitied. But he was lonely. Apparently the brighter woods were her favorite retreat, and she often frequented the place, along with her companions, who brought blankets and baskets. They wil...
