why do bright things rust,
and colours fade?
why do bright things rust,
and colours fade?
Seasons change, the leaves fall, winter calls eternity.
leverage makes the heart
grow fonder
like snowflakes
Wry Luck
dream bombshell
once in a lifetime
sweet tranjectory

"It is not the rich man you should properly call happy, but him who knows with wisdom how to use the blessings of the gods, to endure hard poverty, and who fears dishonor worse than death, and is not afraid to die for cherished friends or fatherland."

exonerated luck

Aurora's Highlights
contrived accents
in Being accrued

winking cues in the moonlight
of Hel's wand's defeat

The horror, you're dead yet my love lives.
Tears dew,
Morning grass;
Remnants of sorrows past.
Pink glitter
Falls over giggles,
And blushing cheeks.
Dead
I am the one
Underneath
the gun
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Four years
- not seasons -
passed,
still I hated.
Where my roses
may fall
in scented
rains
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Where
The Petals
Fall
There
My Eyelids
Wait.

When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

Eyelids flutter
gentle butterfly wings
under rose powder
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
