I closed my eyes and saw dulled visions,
Cascading, smiling like lost people who have someone
far away, waiting on a lovely windowsill.
Staring that way they look through
the darkened window, hoping against all galaxies,
showing it's longing for home.
And memories flash before my befuddled mind.

Nothingness melts into creation when a
Shadow of memories reveals a universe
Dark, Empty, Vulnerable, Green.

Slowly, stardust mingles through the cells of Emptiness.
Can everything stop spinning for just one moment
I smile so that the world will become.

Maybe we can listen to peace.
There's hope in every day,
dancing outside turning and spinning heartless

With my heart throbbing symphonies
Ague sends me, feverish, dizzy and taking
deep into my hat of disguise.

Forlorn hope

I can

feel
“your highness” is gender neutral


so if you are ever confused about my pronouns


that’l work


alternatively “your majesty”, “my liege”, and “supreme overlord”


*please note “your grace” is also acceptable
