I wish wings anew,To fly once more in the sky,In glory again,Forgiven for my trespass,and the sin of a free will.

valkyrie
Softly she sharpensSilver spears, shimmering suns,Stab slowly, sweetly,Selecting sworn suitor-slaves.Soon: selfless suicides.
central campus, 2010
Iron bells singing,Gently lilting perfume breeze,Students' deep discourse.I turn a page with the wind,The sun, my love, my warm light.
love sick
Misty eyes and thoughts,Eager chills, hot up the spine,Sleepless, anxious nights,I can't control my fool heart.I'm so fucking sick of love.
waiting
patience is virtue,'tis wholesome and attractive,we lovers waiting.but I! am not a soft doll,to simply wait, contented.
pilgrimage through far mountains
Family gravestones seemSo cool, even in this heatGlistening with dew. Ladle of water,Wash away these worldly sins,Make me clean again. Mountain pilgrimage,A thousand-thousand steps up,Like unending dreams. I take strange comfort,In my slumbering god-ghosts,Dreaming of this land,From their little demimondes,Nestled deep in mossy homes.
Lunar Beloved
My lunar beloved,Whose shimmering silver spears,Pierce my shameless eyes,Tear out these poisonous thoughts,And grace my mind - vacuous.
My Sweet Despair
I am a Mayfly,A life that ends in a day,A faint light snuffed out.The clocks portend my last death,Over and over again.
The Old Way
Gods from Sky are cruel,They bluster and scream blindly,Shattering the world.How long must we be bound toThe cruel whims of ancient lords?
Heart. Attacked.
Timing is sublime,Rhythm off, growing hotter,Watching her lips smile,Hands touch, a muted laugh shared,And it all ends with a pop. I am so sleepy.A heavy heart drags me down.At least it's warm, here.
