The Locket by cyre, literature

Literature

The Locket

The wind was treacherous and groaning as it blew through the deserted Pit of Saron. Bits of ice and snow swirled around the basin as a lone huntress stood on the cliff of a canyon. Even from a distance, her stance was set, her body seeming unmoving even as the wind tore at her cloak and her hair, causing them to billow in the wind. Those reddish blonde tresses were loose and picked up, teasing gently around her shoulders and cheeks. The cloak of pure ebony, bordered in a pristine white pattern, fluttered to her right like a banner in the hellish breeze. Her face, much more fitted for a smile, was seriously set, brows drawn down in a frown tha

Elemental Series: Water by cyre, literature

Literature

Elemental Series: Water

I am one made up of many. I draw strength from the numbers. I am gentle enough to heal, Yet tough enough to carve. My loving rain can heal. I nurture and encourage. Growth is my specialty. I can soak and soothe The earth sprouts life With my aide. Yet, behold me in my wrath. I pelt and call down, The harshest of punishment. I am a mistress with two sides. I am serene and I am chaotic. I am harsh enough to demand my way. I have carved canyons and trenches. I can cause the most delicate bloom To either blossom or wilt. Appreciate my love. Fear my fury. Seek balance But remember Peace begins in you.

From Whence I Came by cyre, literature

Literature

From Whence I Came

You call and my ears beg me not to hear. Wicked words spoken in a familiar voice, my mind aches with the madness of the resistance to obey. But I did try to resist, I crawled on hands and knees away from that wicked demise so perfectly offered. "Irresistible…" my body whispered while my soul screamed in torment. The pain crippled my response; it had me rooted in my place. But, lo, I had struggled. Let it not be said I went placidly. Let them not whisper wickedly that I went without a fight. But I went.. The strength I lacked had been my own undoing. The core of metal that had been my spine had been drained, corrupted, siphoned away

Unbridled Emotion by cyre, literature

Literature

Unbridled Emotion

Stay with me. Hold my head above water. I'm sure it won't be long now... And I've never needed you more We've come so far You and I...look where we are So much love, so many years But all good things... I cried a river of tears over you You couldn't have known I know that you didn't...never... "Silence like a cancer grows..." You must have known though That when the flame licked my cheek I screamed for you to save me At least I have the memory of warmth After the ashes, you stood Eyes glassy and heart passive When enough became too much. Did you think I wouldn't see? You crafted endless excuses Spun me a tapestry of lies

What Your Love Means To Me by cyre, literature

Literature

What Your Love Means To Me

I'm giving you a lifetime Of whatever you want of mine. When two hearts join together The Gods and stars align. Behold, I tell the masses, This is what he's giving to me. A heart capable of love Unjaded eyes, to see. I've never given another What I give to you My love, my heart is yours Its what I want to do I'm giving you my everything Because I want you to see Thats what your love Means to me.

Something More by cyre, literature

Literature

Something More

I know we've been alone a while And truth and love are out of style. Face it we're not cool From the other school Of light and happiness... Remember? Light and Happiness... Now the glamorous sunrise Are only for the lame or wise Another random fact of life Filled with worry or strife But if I could take it back... Oh... But if I could take it back I'd hide among the lillies And the roses with their thorns And the old way of life I'd weep for and I'd mourn I can't bring it back again No... but maybe ... We could bring it back again.

The Never War by cyre, literature

Literature

The Never War

It was going to be a cloudless night. I noted this as I watched the moon’s ascent; my tail flicked back and forth sweeping the snow of which it resembled. Tonight was the night, the final battle and my heart ached. It was not always so. My grandmother could remember a time when the leopards of the snow and the arctic wolf pack were at peace, allies perhaps against the ravaging humans… But the humans were no longer our common enemy, they left us to try to repopulate our depleted ranks and so as the elders said it would happen the once trusted allies became enemies. When this began I was young and not wise, when I asked them why we

Cold Sheets

Sitting here on our bed… Remembering Wondering where I went wrong I hoped it wouldn’t come to this I guess I knew it all along I stare at these sheets The color no longer so bold And think back to an earlier time When this cloth was not so cold Remember when we picked them out? The month that we were wed? You wanted them blue to soothe And I, them, passionate red. Remember how we used to tussle? And you always used to win. You’d pin me to the bedroom floor Then it led to so much more… I remember in the kitchen Even over the table and chairs A heated look was all it took You’d chase me up the sta

While No One Was Watching by cyre, literature

Literature

While No One Was Watching

While No One Was Watching While no one was watching... I sowed a seed of hope for us. I planted it firmly and prayed it would take root. I just never expected to water it with my tears Or kill it with my fears. While no one was watching... I tore down the walls around my heart. I demolished them into bits of rock and dust. I just never expected to need them back Or realize the strength I lack. While no one was watching... I cried myself to sleep. I let all my tears just flow. I just never expected to feel so damn weak Or know its your love that I seek. While no one was watching... I died a little inside. I felt that piece of

Midnight Obsession by cyre, literature

Literature

Midnight Obsession

I walk the city streets at midnight. Everyone sleeping and I am all alone. I feel lost without a home. Like snow without a winter. So desolate but alive. I raise my head to the heavens. The midnight ocean. And I long to dive in. To entwine myself around The diamonds of the night. To pillow my body On the silk of the Milky Way. What sort of monster says aloud That they’ve dreamed Of being fondled by a cloud? Shouldn’t I feel naughty now? To stifle a longing cry As I feel the wind Whisper across my thigh To be pleasured thus by night. Under cover of darkening light. To look down on the earth below While sporting

I'll Always Remember You by cyre, literature

Literature

I'll Always Remember You

I should have known that I would fall in love with you. From the moment those dark, beautiful orbs met mine, I should have known without a doubt. The first time I saw those soft lips form into an earth-shattering smile, I should have ran away. But no, you drew me to you. And the first time I heard you speak, your voice like a soothing brook over my senses? I was amazed, I still am. I can still remember the first time we touched. The way our hands accidentally brushed and mine tingled, totally aware of you. I can still remember the first time pain flashed through your eyes because of my words. I remember the recoil and the icy way you shu

Simplicity by cyre, literature

Literature

Simplicity

Should you read this... My love spans our abyss. Over valleys and lakes, I'll do whatever it takes, But I must be with you I'll wait forever To fate I'll endeavor To bring you to me. Whether its countries away Or the trip takes a day I'd come to you Just to see your face Wherever the place I would go there. Over the highest hill For your kiss, I would feel Over the bluest sea Wherever you may be. There also is my heart.

Learning To Love Again by cyre, literature

Literature

Learning To Love Again

He whispers to me. Leave me alone... He runs his hands through my hair as he stares into my eyes. Stop touching me. Stop looking at me that way. I feel his lips upon mine and my eyes flutter shut. Stop toying with me. We both know you don't mean it. His body pressed unnaturally close to me and I feel the heat. A still broken heart trying to fly...trying to fight. I feel his hand brushing away tears of the past. No. Don't do this to me. Don't make me believe... "Please, darling, don't make me pay for their mistakes." Just stop. Don't say the right thing at the right time. He tells me he doesn't care how long he has to wait for me.

Spellcaster's Secret by cyre, literature

Literature

Spellcaster's Secret

So have I, so have you So help me God It's what we do. We tell a lie and then tell one more. The final click of this closing door. These pale reflections of a past Of darkest shadows Of fun at last. A dance between just two Watch closely now it could be you. Laugh now, while there’s chance Better hurry and steal a glance! But should it be to the lass in red? Remember now? The words she said? It’s too late your time is up Now pass around Life’s empty cup. The one that held the wine so sweet, A glimmer of red Your lady's retreat The ache of loss, because she’s gone You wonder now Where you went wron

My Fairy Tale by cyre, literature

Literature

My Fairy Tale

You are my hero. Like Romeo and Juliet. I’m high up on this balcony. Your words touching me so deep, I swoon…and fall. I’m scared but who’s there to save me? My Superman, my Man of Steel Saving me from danger And showing me who I really am. You make me feel like Cinderella Twirling in your arms, swirling in the moment. You proved to me, that it’s not where I come from. Just merely who I am, that matters now. Swimming in a daze from your love. Like Aerial, I’ve been released from the sea. Released so I’m free to love you. To make myself apart of your world. I felt like Sleeping Beauty…

Passion by cyre, literature

Literature

Passion

Take my hand and lead me. I trust you. Feeling your warmth. Your closeness so comforting. Could I fly? My hearts exploding! Can you feel it? You must be able to. Theres no other way to describe that look in your eyes. I should tell you. Bare my soul. For only you would take me as I stand now. You offer me the shelter of your embrace. And I run to you. I run to you as though the very dogs of hell were nipping at my feet. If I stop breathing now in your arms, I could hear your heartbeat. A stroke on my cheek lets me know you can feel me. I look into your eyes and I see something new and beautiful. Swirling and twirling into an

Literature

He Carries It With Him

He carries it with him. Like a talisman For luck, love or a reminder. It is his thoroughly Without question and without remorse. For it has always belonged with him... I just never knew it. I was temporarily a guardian over it. It was entrusted to me and I have seen it... I have seen it through joy, sadness, bliss and destitution. I have seen it in moments of ecstasy and in sorrow. But it was never truly meant to stay with me. I may have been born with it. I may have grown up with it. I may have questioned it's motives Or doubted it's actions. But it was never meant to stay. Oh yes, I have seen it...in the good times and the

My Bio

Hi...I'm Cyre...which is pronounced "sigh-ree" not "sire"...I'm not your dad...

So it should be apparent to everyone that I write poetry. I love words because they're limitless and with the right amount of force and cunning you can mold them into anything you want...a weapon or a ballad or a tribute to something you love.

So if you're bored or looking for some words in motion have a sit, have a stay, drink some coffee or tea or cola (your preference) just...try not to drip any liquids on the poetry, eh?

Time slips by...

I am hesitantly coming back. I was surprised by the activity there was, considering my prolonged absence. I just wonder...who else is out there? Does anyone want to read my writing anymore? I guess I'll use this as a test. A litmus test, if you will. Please let me know. Cheers, Cyre

How long has it been? For-freaking-ever, that's how long. I don't even know who still follows me and who even cares but HEY! I'm here. So, yes, hello, I'm going to be writing more novels and some poetry, of course. But here's the real thing. I would love for you guys to help me on Patreon. You DO NOT have to pay anything, though if you do, I'd love it because money is tight. So yes, I'm still producing art, writing and even...singing. Yes, I know, strange but I can sing moderately well. Join me over there so I can keep better track of you guys. Again, no pressure to pledge, just talk to me there. I've been over there more than here. So yes

If Regrets Were Like Raindrops...

0 min read

It seems that at the exact moment that things start falling down around your ankles, people either stick up for you or they melt away with their own best interests in mind. How many people, authors and philosophers have postulated that people were only out for their own best interests? That most, given a choice, would make a decision based on what was best for them. My, but that does get heartbreaking when people who seem like stalwart allies lapse into the tide of people who were only in your life for a season. It's fall in my world. Some people are like the roots of my tree, anchoring me steadily, slowly and unseen, to reality. They need

You are on my mind and in my heart.

Perhaps that's too cheesy or mushy for you, but it's the truth.

(Then again, I've always been quite the sentimental sap even though I tend to hide it.)

I sure hope you're doing well wherever life has led you.
