The Shadow's Heart

One: Where there is darkness

 

Midnight, there were no stars, no moon, nothing but the distant glow of store lights that seemed to hide just beneath the horizon’s edge.

 

There was a pasture that had gentle hills and an unsteady barbed wire fence surrounding it. It seemed to be uninhabited… until I came, well, I should say, we came.

Tempest

Dear child, hearken now

Thy thoughts hear wilts

Thou forget

The tempest thou bore

In thy song ever more

 

Now sing thyself asleep

With no wind or bird

To answer thy cry

Now search thee through the night

Till dismal bongs awaken thou slumber

 

I’ll sing thee a song

A song of the bread maker

And the song of the weaver

The song of the sailor

And the song of a tea maker

 

Dream thyself asleep

But hark! the words of a song

   Marian Ramon looked up as the front door opened, half-expecting to see fellow officers with prisoners from the hospital attack come in.

  Instead, she saw a group of people dressed in black come in. Before she could send out the alarm, one of them quickly came over and knocked her out.

  "Stay here," the leader ordered one of his men. "The rest of you, get your guns ready."

  They crept along the halls in the station, meeting no police officers until they came to Jimenitz's office. They were walking by this room when they heard a voice.

Clutching, Breathing

Burning heart, piercing truth       Grace,            Groping…… Tears slide down, swells the embrace         Courage,               Clutching…… Wrenched apart, iron forged between           Resolute,                 Reeling……. Bars torment, numbness dulling          Peace,                  Pleading…... Chains pulling, sunlight fingering           Surmount,                    Slipping…… Limbs weary, soul silently waiting           Bravery,                   Blenching……     Beating, Beating….   Breathing, Breathing…. death     Stillness, Stillness…..   Silence, Silence…… life

One: Just out of reach.

For the affect I search, search wide search deep

So incomplete.

Perfect flaws, scars seep,

Just out of reach.

Black birds fly soar high,

Just out of reach.

 

For the feel I search, search wide search deep

So incomplete.

Anxiety stalls, stops quick,

Bravery just out of reach.

The life in need of saving

Just out of reach.

 

For the words I search, search wide search deep

So incomplete.

Deep Within My Eyes

Submitted by paperpoet on Wed, 06/16/2010 - 01:44

                                              

I see that same old face in the mirror But the face has changed somehow Something’s there that wasn’t there Beneath my puzzled brow I frown as I examine What, to my surprise Has suddenly transformed Deep within my eyes  They are still the same color They have not grown in size But now I hold a secret Deep within my eyes Their gaze has turned to hardened stone The fire behind has died There is a sad reflected soul Deep within my eyes

Hadrian sat on his throne, drumming his fingers impatiently." Where are those spies?" he hissed." They were supposed to be back hours ago!"

"What do expect?" Jezebel said in a 'don't-be-silly' tone of voice. "They're spies, and not only spies, but idiots, not only spies and idiots, but also brothers. Brothers fight all the time."

"Tala! Bring that boy, Muncha, or whatever his name is, here with his grandma," Hadrian ordered his aide.

In a while, the pair of prisoners stood before Hadrian.
