“Poetry burns in our hearts with the passionate heat of a lover’s embrace.”
A Fair Maid
― Crystal Woods, Write like no one is reading
A fair maid’s fragrance beckons me
without hesitation, without permission,
thro’ I’ve seen her only
on the pages of her Instagram.
Her pencil-pointed plump melon
her skin gleamin’ like rich satin
which makes the attire that adores her
a rare work of beauty.
She has my heart in her throne
a heart that has ne’er been given away.
She has made me a captive captivated
by her mastery over me.
Is Love or Infatuation the ingredient here?
I wish no other besides her. I’m hypnotized!

Weapon
The will to power destroys the power to will.The weapon made, we cannot help but use it;it drags us with its own momentum still. The power to kill compounds the need to kill.Grown out of hand, the heart cannot refuse it;the will to power undoes the power to will. Though as we strike we cry […]
