A normal day turned sideways,
A dull moment turned magnificent,
When my eyes met yours.
Lub dub, lub dub, lub...dub.
Pupils-dilating-goosebumps-raising
Palms-sweating, lips-parting you.
Your presence makes me mumble,
Makes me fumble. Is this a stroke?
No. It's worse. It's love.
Poets, songwriters, painters,
They weren't wrong.
My heavens, they weren't wrong.
This feeling is indescribable, unbelievable!
And yet, it's as ancient as time itself.
You're grabbing your coffee,
Moving purposefully towards the door.
"Wait!" my heart shrieks.
I can feel the unspeakable loss already,
A portion of my soul being ripped away.
Where'd all the air go? I gasp.
I feel myself scrambling to my feet,
My body moving of its own accord.
Time stops. I reach for you...
And then you turn back...
And smile.

The Guardian
Jade stared at her ceiling, terrified. She clutched her teddy bear closer to her and whimpered quietly. The wind howled like a banshee outside, while the branches, like bony, cold fingers, scratched against the window. She hated visiting the cabin. Every time she looked out into the ominous woods, she could feel it watching her, waiting for her to let down her guard. She especially hated it at night, when at times it was as silent as a tomb, and other nights, like tonight, when it sounded like the dead were rising from their graves. She imagined them now, lumbering and moaning, reaching toward her.

Winter Up High
Upon the North, where winter holds its sway, The frigid nights descend with solemn grace, A silent, diamond dust along the way, And moonbeams carve the shadows of the place. The wind, a ghost that whispers through the pines, Doth chill the very breath that leaves the lip, The ground is bound by frosted, silver lines, And stars, like scattered jewels, their vigil keep. The long dark hours demand a sheltered rest, Where firelight dances on the hearth's warm stones, And weary souls are welcomed to the nest, To chase the biting cold from blood and bones. Yet in this chill, a stark, pure beauty lies, Reflected in the vast and endless skies.
