To the end
The devastating sounds of silence overwhelms her fear. She stares, wasting away. The last threads of humanity clings. Lying in her brittle hands: the forgotten. She holds on tight, not surrendering, hoping that they stay, that they never let go. Her children’s miniature fingers grasp her monstrous knuckles, their voices softer. The cold is an overbearing presence. Pushing. Pressing her to stop. “It’s their fault.” The bitter whispers attack her ears. “Just give up. Let them go.” To be forgotten. To never have been known. A fear that’s so great, that it is almost as great as death. Panic overcomes them. Her soft hands holding, rocking them gently as they struggle. She stands up, newly determined to save her children and her life. To save them all. A final fight, with one last demand. One final battlefield-riddled with corpses. She signs, her grip on their lives stutter for a moment. Heartbeats slow and she cries out. She, with her withered hands still clenching, wrapped tightly around them, only hopes and prays. Her long hair of faded green and blue enrobes them, and a few chimes are heard, softer. The final molecules disappears, and all movements and sounds seem as if they stop-
If only for a moment.
Death stands there, a smirk on his greasy face, and chortles, hiding his belligerence. His devoted, made of violence and vengeance, still stand behind him, silently. Blinded by their over-achievements, and blind of their greed. They feel as if they won. No one will ever know what happened there, they assure each other, nodding softly, And slowly over time, as she lays on her death bed, she dreams sweet dreams of her life. The lush green around her has faded into a sick and unearthly shade of brown. The trees convulse in the turbulence, bent into distorted shapes from their nightmares. She thinks, recalling-They were the righteous, almost, her children born from dirt and plague. Her children had failed, misused their powers and let themselves be controlled by their hate. But she, as any other mother of that time, both loved and punished equally. She wishes her children’s dreams would come true, and that their father’s actions would be known. She makes one last stand, a revelation, realizing that somehow, someway- Something will cause them to have strength to survive, and to change the outcome of the game. She sets out on her last journey to find their chance to win, through time, space and ages-
To change the end of the world.

We cannot speak. Our words are forever bound by the whispering songs of our broken hearted angels. Their wings have been torn, long before they started to cry into the foam of the ocean. The sky has been morphed into a sick, bloody red, the deep blue -green of the ocean, a violent violet. The ocean cried, her moans echoing into the depths of the three worlds, heaven, hell and the earth. The earth ran her fingers though her hair, the trees being pushed and pulled at her will. The wind blew. He blew and blew. Never ceaseing. The angels continued to weep, tears being shed dry so long ago. The earth, finally tired, joined in. Tears streaming from her face onto the world, silent at first but slowly changing into the loud bellows that we know as thunder and lighting. The angels stopped, and fell into a heap of feathers and blood. The world soon followed suit, and stopped and she cried out in anguish and pain. Her last friend dead. Her world destroyed. Our world is destroyed. Our end. So near our fingers are graced with it's presence, just out side our reach. A cold silver shimmers just above the surface of an unknown black lake. But we see a cloud of deep violent-black blocking our view from seeing the rest. We gasp, our breaths stuck in our throats. Choking on our words, we stutter into silence. Suffocating. Our earth is angry. That's why we died. That's why we suffered. We can do no right. We can always do wrong. We are gone. Dead forever rotting in the eternal stank of molten flesh and bones. Thrown into servitude, no ill will can be harbored now. As we can feel nothing. We float, in an endless abyss of black and blood. How long will it take? How dead will we be in the end? Can we muster the strength to live on, if we are so lucky to have that choice? No one knows as her raspy whispers frighten us, calling our names one by one. We walk, sulking to our ends down a long hallway. Pipes letting lose steam call to us, Forever. The walk never ending. Just like our lies. The world never ended. Just us.
yay. poems.
