The Worlds

Venuptra
celestial stars,
winged sagas,
falling stars and
moonlit nights

where day is night,
and night is day

tis the highest of them all
the darkest, most prettiest
sight you’ll ever see

~~~

mundane as this may sound,
humans are light of it all,
right in the middle of the three,
Zephyr
marked by its role as a helper,
but also its long-term hatred with the above
mundane as this may sound,
humans are the masters of it all

~~~

At the bottom of it all,
the bluest of the blue,
peace and pearls,
ocean, sea, river,
shiny scales, tails and river crowns
are what build this world
into its dreamsome place

The Regions

Venuptra
Thirty eight hours
As long as a night can be measured in hours,
Twenty eight hours,
Where a day lasts no longer than ten hours,
Ten hours,
No cities, no differences, there’s only Venuptra,
For honor is all that matters in the end,
Zero hours

Zephyr
Soleyl, bound by the sun
Neyzh, bound by the cold snow
Perhl, bound by the rain
Kingdoms and their people living under the sun,
Farming in the snow,
Keeping away of the cursed grounds as it rains

Aquar
Mar, home to the Royal Family,
Oce, home to the sea dwarfs,
Hyd, home to the outcasts,
It keeps on growing
Smaller and smaller
Until nothings
left

The People

of Venuptra
Star-fae with wings,
Clever minds,
Cunning hearts,
Showering with blessings
and curses are their style

of Zephyr
Humans who are
strong in bone and
hopeful in heart
Agrees to disagree,
Always working towards a better
tomorrow

of Aquar
Children of the tide,
obedient and kind,
Forced to slavery at the hands
of winged creatures,
Yet no complains,
For the savior will come

The Traditions

Venuptra
monarchy triumphs over democracy
masquerade balls are hosted for alliance,
meteorite showers for celebrations of age,
bridal rites and even newborns,
shooting stars are superstitions or are they?

Zephyr
snow dances and participating in sun camps
are the most treasured memories
children of Zephyr have
staying inside on rainy days,
were once a choice, but now a tradition
for a powerful force beyond everyone’s understanding demands it

Aquar
swimming in a frozen ocean is considered bad luck,
as is swimming with an outcast of sea dwarf
all men’s names start with m and
all women’s names start with o
a strong believe states, a savior will come and lift them up,
but for now everyone must put up
with the hardships and
hold on to their loved ones

The day Taurus dies
Villanelle

the day Taurus dies
every breathing soul feels the guilt
it’s the day the stars rise

The day of peace’s demise
the moon is nearly atilt
the day Taurus dies

Venus, Zephyr and Aquar turn away their angel eyes
gone in the blink of a supernova all that was built
it’s the day the stars rise

empty truths concealed in white lies
there’s nothing left to say to justify the blood spilt
the day Taurus dies

curses, empty promises and dark cries
if only one truth had been spoken all these flowers wouldn’t wilt
it’s the day the stars rise

it’s the day solicitude in Venuptra dies
it’s the day Zephyr and Aquar realise the destruction love can atilt
the day Taurus dies
it’s the day the stars rise

The Queen of Zephyr
Limerick

Morayna, descendant from Morana, once a queen,
meaning death, winter and plague, never meant to be seen,
destined to be free, she’s cursed to rule lands
in love with someone from below, she’d put her life in his hands
for she’d rather choose death than leave the green
