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
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.
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
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
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.
It was going to be a cloudless night.
I noted this as I watched the moons 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
Sitting here on our bed
Remembering
Wondering where I went wrong
I hoped it wouldnt 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.
Youd 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
Youd chase me up the sta
