A Sappy Sonnet About Love
I'd walk for miles beneath the moonlit sky
With shards of glass embedded in my skin
To see the one whose love for which I'd die
A love that I would give the world to win
His smile is all I need to get me through
His arms are strong and yet his touch is mild
My heart belongs to him for he is true
A friend to calm my inner trembling child
My wish for him is simple and mundane
A longing for the man that has my heart
A pining cry that echoes in my brain
For that same one that rendered it apart
Of Death I ask to promise only this:
To wait for me until I taste his kiss
About the Creator
Maia Gadwall the metAlchemist
I fell in love with speculative fiction and poetry many years ago, but I have precious little time to write any. Then, I went crazy and started a cult called metAlchemy, or meta alchemy. I revere energy of all brands, esp. good, kind chaos.

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.
