    Your voice
    howls
    through
    distant nights
    tormenting me

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe

    Glass
    lips
    speak posion
    lies

    soft fallen
    snow

    In a perfect world
    What replaces fear?
