Sometimes, I feel like I don't exist until you notice me. I am a far off star, burned out by the time my photons enter through your eye and your brain says, "Hey, there's a star up there." -HG

Radiance
You wake up with eyes that glimmer, night sky wise, deep and endless. First breaths stretch into your new skin; this is a new day. all is yours. After a minute of foggy headed, get your wits about you, you never abstain. Just shrug into the day. Don your burdens like an old coat. … Continue reading Radiance
Binary Stars
Try as I might, I couldn't pretend passion, or even feign interest. The depths of those old, slow rollers, curling in from far off places, never explaining where they were, where they had been, or where they were going. Light like a bright star, dragged me off into some strange odyssey, away from the … Continue reading Binary Stars
Cold Blooded
I have never been more exposed and vulnerable. Standing here arms open wide, ready to accept you decision. I appeal to what I hope is your kind and merciful nature, but I'm not surprised when you draw your knife. No amount of persuasion would ever be enough to disarm you. I begin creating distance; … Continue reading Cold Blooded
The Light That Saved The World
You blinded me with utter brilliance, with radiant light; luminous being. I missed the signs, I just stood there blinking; sun tracers in my eyes. I didn’t realize that I had been changed in an instant by seeing you resplendent. All the world is shadow now; your light is gone and chased away … Continue reading The Light That Saved The World

Harbingers of The Angels
Red and blue. Red and blue lights. Red and blue light flashing, screaming, tearing through the quiet night. A terrible and beautiful display. They light up the street and the stars seem to shrink away, as if giving space for the first responders to work. On a path that takes me nowhere near … Continue reading Harbingers of The Angels
The Dark
Every night I lit a candle, warding off the dark. I wondered what was going on, in the blackness standing stark. One night I let the candle die and the dark encompassed all; I was greeted by the Lord of Night he was fearsome, dark and tall. I asked him a question, of what was … Continue reading The Dark
Light Switch
I have nurtured every wicked thing within me. I have left my soul wretched, drown and empty. Followed modern men into the future, fumbling for the light switch. I am faded if I look behind me. Dead, if I am presently 'cause I'm not how I ought to be, but the dark is always there. … Continue reading Light Switch
