My flower

Young and fragrant
Alone and happy

I am lost
Lonely and sad
As I reside
In my domain of despair

The depths seem shallow
Death seems friendly
Nothing can stop me
When I gaze upon my flower

I would have kept you safe
I would have stood by you
I would have sheltered you
I would have protected you
I would have been your vanguard
I would have been your knight in shining armour
I would have been your warrior

I would have watched over you as you go to sleep.
I would have watched over you until you sleep.
Only then would I go to sleep - I'll only sleep after you.
I would have made sure that you're far away dreaming before I catch my train to dreamland.

And, I would wake up before you so that I can watch you wake.
I would be the one who greets you good morning even before you can realise it's morning or the sun's shining on your beautiful face.

It would have been that way if you were mine.
But heck no.

Humouresque

"Know why the polar ice caps are melting?"

"Why?"

"'Cause you're too hot."

"..."

"...I could use some ice to patch the hole up, but..."

"What?"

"I only have eyes for you."

"Oh my god you're so lame."

"No wonder I fell for you."

Right Again

When I look into your eyes
I see the loneliness inside
And all I want to do
Is put my arms around you

And when you scream into my ear
I see the pain, i feel the fear
Just want to hold you tight
Keep you right here by my side

Won't you let me in
Will you keep the door shut
I'm still knocking
Let me in your heart

I want to make it alright
I want to see you smile again
I know that I can't change the past
But let me take away the pain
No one can face the world alone
We need the place that we call home
Let me be your friend
I want to make things right again
Right again

You are the only one for me
I just can't stop loving you
You can set my heart free
Just say you love me too

You're so lovely
And I'm so lonely
Won't you love me too


Lyrics by Asheroth
Music by Es'Qara

Age of origin unknown

I could sing of Your love forever

Over the mountains and the seas
Your river runs with love for me
I will open up my heart
And let the Healer set me free

I'm happy happy to be in the truth
And I will daily lift my hands
For I will always sing
Of when Your love came down

I could sing of Your love forever
I could sing of Your love forever

And oh, I feel like dancing
It's foolishness I know
But when the world has seen the light
They will dance with joy like we're dancing now

I could sing of Your love forever

Fear

Darkness lurks
Shadows hover in the background
Waiting

The air is stifling
Space shrinks
I hurry on

Still the darkness finds me
Threatening
Whispers fill my head

The lights go out
I close my eyes
Afraid

My heart thuds in my chests
Perspiration flows
I shiver
But not of cold

Shadows surround me
One draws near
I scream
But it only whispers

"They are coming."
"They are here."

Are you ready?

Crack went the unsuspecting soldier's neck.

Undisturbed, my twin continued to swing his blade like a madman. His sword severed heads right and left. His precision astounded me even until that present moment.

I kept my eyes on the coming opponent. I feinted left. He thrust his sword forward, and I dodged to the right. At the same time, I rammed my right shoulder into his chest. My hammer came down upon his forehead before he could recover from the charge. I watched brain matter dribble out from his ears as he crumpled to the ground.

"I've got seven already!"

I grinned. "Damn you, you've got a sword!"

"Now, that's your problem," he retorted as he slashed another man's head off. "You like your rusty hammer."

He laughed at my silence.
I laughed back.

Thwack!

Another man down.

"Halt!" screamed a woman.

"Ah, finally..." said my twin and I in unison.

I felt a disturbance in the air around us. Then the woman cast a bolt of lightning at our direction. We jumped aside and the bolt hit a tree, sending it crashing down with smoke billowing in all directions.

"Lady Sixor protect us," I whispered.

My twin grinned childishly. A strange light was glowing in his eyes. Then I felt an influx of energy.

A childish grinned formed on my lips.

"ARE YOU READY?" we said in one voice.

Wherefore art thou, Romeo?

The wind is bitter cold.

Hugging herself, she looks over the edge of the cliff.

The waves smash into the rocks below.

"Wherefore art thou, Romeo?"

A promise of love. Of life.

Gone forever.

"Oh, God, why did you take him?!!" she screams.

Silence. Her cries unanswered, save for the whistling wind that carries her screams away.

Tears run down her cheeks.

Reaching into her bag, she draws out the small urn that contains all that remains of her beloved.

"You jump, I jump," she whispers.

She tosses the urn off the edge of the cliff.

Then jumps after it.

Into oblivion.
