your current circumstances,
no matter how bleak
or dismal,
are all integral
to the story of your redemption
that He is writing.

Cloak of Flame and Stars
’tis a dismal state;
to be afforded insight
into much
yet lack the power
necessary.
~lt
Ebon Petal
from the mire
of iniquity
i,
graceless,
would ask
to not be forgotten
when the age of Light
shines on all that are found
deserving.
~lt
Dyrnwyn
were it not
for my fondness
for sadness,
i’d not have a reason
to remember you.
~lt
Mercury’s Hope
through briar
and bramble
my heart has hidden itself.
i can withstand the thorns
if it means
that i cannot hurt
again.
~lt
Writ of Thorn and Petal
i feel my age of writing
is coming to an end.
summoning visions,
night after night,
only exhausts;
only drains.
were it so easy
to only draw upon
the joy
i once felt.
no,
bringing you out
from within the tumblers of mind
only hastens the descent
of the scythe.
i implore you;
it is not enough
to bury the shadow.
only when basked
in glorious light
will it end
with you.
and i will do my best
to make sure
it ends
with me.
~lt
Partisan
some days
you are nothing more
than a butterfly
and i admire the way
you effortlessly flit
through my mind.
but other days,
you are downpour
and it’s like
i never got over you
at all.
~lt
Greatbow
our love
like Autumn’s leaves;
fiery,
yet doomed
to fall.
~lt
Chilling Ashes
i wonder
if the life he promised
is the life
you’re living
today.
~lt
The Burning
come to me,
oh Lord,
that i might know you.
arm me,
not in the ways of this world
but in your Word,
so that instead of relying
on my emotions,
which are easily manipulated
and changed,
i can rely on your Promise,
which does not ever change.
