《Silent Poetry》Enthralling
Advertisement
Days and nights, I waited
For your smell to intoxicate me,
For your footsteps to bless my ears
For you to smile the way you did
Before we bade goodbye.
And now you stand in front of me
My heart's beating fast, crazy
A sudden rush of the wildest things—
And it's so enthralling to see you again.
Madness, joy, excitement, hate—
All come down, vein by vein,
As I stand here on the frozen ground;
I don't care about the frost anymore.
Your face's pale with a tinge of red—
I don't know whether it's frost or something else,
All I know is it's so enthralling to see you again.
The sweet smell of the pink detergent
From your same old grey cardigan;
My hands brush your blonde curls—
As I stand there, still,
My nose touches yours,
so quickly and briefly.
I haven't cared about the snow till now
Until you pulled apart and smiled briefly,
"I don't think we can do this anymore, anyhow,"
The voice I have longed to hear for months
Now shatters my heart, loosens my bun—
I've lost things I wanted to hold on to;
And the snow comes tighter around my arms.
I stand there all in white—my pink disappeared
In the winter moonlight.
You take a bunch of flowers from
Your little pocket; it's popping up.
And putting them inside my waist pocket,
You step back and stare briefly.
Your hands burn the slow gaze,
Your presence is yet so golden,
And I look up, my cheekbones blue.
I don't say a single word,
I yearn for a little warmth.
The chilly wind through the single crack—
Shivers me a little as we step back and back, until
your back shuts my eyes off.
The grey cardigan,
Slowly disappears like a summer run—
And the tears freeze like little tattoos
On my bony cheekbones.
As I sit on the bathtub—
The hot shower pours and pours,
straining my muscles.
My curls curled up in your thoughts.
I pull the flower, petal by petal,
A drop of blood dripped through my face
As I stand in front of the mirror,
And find you smiling at me—
I lost everything now; all I know is,
It is so enthralling to see you in the foggy mirror,
Yet again.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!

The Arduous Path
Life has never been kind to Alex, but today, today was just one of those days where life sought you out, bent you over, and had her way with you until nothing but a jumbled mess remained. Today was one of those days. Just as the small housewarming party for one of Alex's friends was taking place in the dead of night, the starry sky opened its cosmic jaws and thrust upon the world its wonders and terrors. Frantically trying to make heads or tails of the situation while not dying is going to prove itself much more of a challenge than Alex ever expected to encounter in his miserable but safe life. Still, behind all the adrenaline and danger of this fateful event, Alex feels there may be more awaiting him than simply a grim future, and he will not let this opportunity escape his grasp. P.S - I'm aiming at making this a pure cultivation story, so no blue boxes, I'm sorry. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
