Dream
by A.H.
By the grave I saw the illusions
I crave the imaginary, ideal idol
And the certainties never stargazing
And its eyes have all the mythologise
And so you came gently giggling
All my soul within me wiggling
All my soul within me giggling
My trick, I could not awaken
Eagerly I looked for the dreamer
My mind always strays to fictions
I discovered the nightmares
In there stepped an individualist 'unworldliness'
Quoth the sleeplessness, 'Don't go downstairs!'
The superciliousness brought such sorrow
The heaven brought such sorrow
My sleepiness, I could not awaken
Instead I uncovered the idealist
The dread dreamer dozing
The amour never disclosing
Much I marvelled the apolitical irrationalism
That pacifist, pacifist lionising
Take thy lover from out my heart
And so you came gently hissing
How they were dismissing, reminiscing - kissing
And so you came gently thumping
Ah, distinctly I was sleeping
Quoth the beloved, 'Don't go weeping!'
My hell, I could not awaken
I crave the magic, morphean moon
The winsomeness brought such sorrow
You warned me about the high noon
Take thy springsteen from out my heart
Take thy concert hall from out my heart
My mind always strays to nightmares
With apologies to Edgar Allan Poe.

Singed - My demon
A happy childhood, a so-so adolescence. Then adulthood arrived, and everything went to hell. And by everything, I mean it. Grown-up life is truly a wonderful, dazzling adventure! A job that drains your soul, stripping away any will to live while fueling a more or less justified homicidal instinct; depression knocking at the door with a lovely bouquet of red roses and, last but not least, the remnants of a social life buried somewhere under my shoes. Not the ones I'm wearing now; those are slippers, big difference. I mean the pretty ones in the cabinet that I haven't touched in five years. Love can be destructive. It catches you, ensnares you, devours you, and if you're unlucky enough, it leaves you standing in nothing but your underwear before reducing you to ashes. I had made peace with my "and she lived single, forever unhappy but safe" fate. A house, one, four, eight, maybe twenty cats and a future as flat as a heart monitor that's given up the ghost. No joys, minimal suffering, because there's only so much a heart can take before it calls it quits. And honestly? Fuck it, I'd been through enough. ... But he changed everything. In the worst, most terrifying way possible. From this abyss, I may never climb back out.

The World That Never Was
"Oh Ellie, a dream isn't always just a dream." I reached toward the cat, almost hoping it would find a way to grab me. Maybe I could reach the window and climb back in? I inched closer and closer before it swiped at me with its paw. "There's no way of avoiding this, Ellie. Enjoy the ride. I'll be seeing you again, very soon." And with a chuckle, it vanished into my shadowy bedroom, as though it was never there. There I was, floating upside down, staring into my bedroom until I couldn't anymore.

Vellichor
In one swift movement of my hand I reached behind Sapphire's neck and released her hair from the low ponytail it was in. She gasped at my action and looked at me with feverish eyes. I thought I saw the colour gold flicker in her eyes, for a few seconds before I lifted my hand near her face and tucked a strand of her wavy hair behind her ear, before I said: "I fell in love with you, the first second I saw you reading that Tolstoy book in the library." She looked up at me, her warm beige skin looked like it was glowing now and she said with pure sincerity in her eyes "per sempre, in ogni dimensione, per sempre in ogni vita, solo tu fino al mio ultimo respiro amore mio" It meant (Forever, in every dimension, forever in every life, only you until my last breath, my love) I snaked my hands around her waist and pulled her close to me. Before kissing her the way I wanted to all this time, i looked into her eyes and said "Me too my love, me too." My first novel is about soulmates. And reincarnation. About, how many bodies a soul has to live in before they finally become their true selves. And before they finally get to be with their soulmate. It's about how love has so many faces. It's about how we never know what roads life will force us to cross. And what emotions we will be gifted to feel. And the things we're blessed with that sometimes we neglect. It's about giving yourself the time to grow and evolve before you give yourself to someone completely. And it's about not to take the love you have in your life for granted.Complete
