Dark Feathers

-
There are feather everywhere
There are feathers in all I see
They are stuck in slow motion
There are feather hovering over me.
The things I have done –
They haunt me all night long
I keep telling myself I will be just fine
But the voices inside my head don’t say so.
They are there to remind me
That the feathers won’t go away.
Oh, my wish, my craving for flying
Has it gone too far?
Once white, they became
as dark as a starless night
The closer I get to a lonely soul
The darker the feathers become.
Are they facing the same fate as me?
Will they be cursed too?
They are murders just like me…
No, I am not thinking straight
They haven’t committed the same sin
I am the sinner here – It’s all about me
There was this bird I used to admire and love and…
Oh Lord, what have I done?
Have I really become...?
I turned myself into it
And now I face my fate
Now I am

the Dark Swan.

Ronin, Late Night Thoughts - Short Story

-
Sometimes, laying on the floor in the comfort of my house, when the evening sun starts to disappear into the horizon and the night chill comes to fill the air, I wonder what else is there to be seen. I wonder what is the world like on the other side, with its different people and food and colors. I hear the Lord approaching. It is good when he comes and talks to me. I know he appreciates me and enjoys my presence, but what I really like is when he gives me permission to leave the house. It is when the adventure begin. I run through all the places that are known to me, places I used to visit all the time in the past, and I feel like I own the streets. The wind blows in my face and I feel light and free. Every night, running wildly, there is no better feeling. And there are so many things to see! Even though I go to the same places, I always find something different to appreciate and discover new things. There are mysteries behind every corner and exciting stories in

Candles (I need more light)

-
The day becomes darker The moon is pale Its light makes everything huge and frightening And as every second passes by Life lost the color and pleasure right before my eyes The silence settled inside my body Leaving no room for thoughts or feelings This must be the reason why Everything I touch slowly fades away I am unable to see on my own But the shadows surrounding me gave me a gift A white mask that blocks everything I do not suffer anymore I do not see light and bright colors anymore What a gift – what a curse! Have I become blind? Has this loneliness grown so strong that won't let me think by myself? I can’t see what’s right in front of me In the path of my former self I walk Unsure where to go or what to do You left me without realizing how lost I was And I had no other choice but grope in the dark Maybe if I get some light This loneliness will make some sense Maybe if you light up the candles Your walking away will make some sense.
