Buried in the shadows—an echo in the void that is my vacant mind; you were.
There, you are.
Still—a statue, marble skin, your cheeks cut from the stone of the Gods.
And though you may be Holy,
a part of me sees
the dark
the glow in your raven eye.
There,
in the dark
thoughts run slick as blood
from my open wounds and closed scars.
In the night, all is quiet in a house of shadows and statues. Cut in marble as they sleep. A caw cuts across the deep empty dark and the blood flows again.

What Is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of celestial bodies and their connection to events on Earth. We look at astrology much like a wall on the clock. The clock indicates the time but it does not cause the time. Similarly, astrologers do not believe that Mars (or any other planet) sends down its fiery rays every now and again to stir things up, but rather the symbolism and movements of Mars may be applied to our earthly events to develop a further understanding of our world, and in some cases of very talented astrologers, to predict the future.

The Duelist
The rays of a dying red sun flashed against the onrushing blade. The grey beards say the key to dueling lies in size, speed, reach, righteous fury, whatever the person in front of them pays them to say. Matteo knew better than any it was none of these and had an undefeated record on these sands to prove it.
