One of my poems. Enjoy!:)
A Lady dressed in green,
Appearing more noble than anyone, even a queen
Once spoke to me with kindness and compassion,
She was graceful in speech, which was plain to see
Yet like the coveted lace she wore,
She found herself never making in beauty or in a good taste in fashion
Who could discern which rarity demanded the most attention?
The lace, or the lady who wore it?

The Flower Longed Death
Princess Serena felt she was doomed to live a dreary, protected existence in the palace that she was prepared to end. Even once she inherits the title of Queen, the kingdom of Eden would never cease to protect its flower. Her fear of living a dull life ate at her until her tempting first love, Caius, renters it. He vows to free her of her sorrows with a promise of magic, adventure, and passion. She thought he would bring her the excitement she had been looking for, but joining her deadly infatuation would wilt Eden's flower to the brink of agony. ------------------------------------------------------------------- When he turned his ear to me, I noticed that I could see the right side of his mouth. I've used it as a substitute for eye contact. When he smirked just now, I felt myself tremble. "There's a corpse of my creation at my feet Serena. What makes you think I'm devout to religion?" That explains his willingness to sin. "You're a virtuous woman for keeping to your vows, but I am by no means a virtuous man." His intent to court me is not pure. It's certainly from his heart, but his cause is not only for my love. There's something that he must prove to me now... Whether his will is enough to turn me against my virtues. With each passing day I'm growing more weary that it might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover art by Erika De Luca on ArtStation This story if the first of a series Word Count: 147,000 Please read the introduction for triggers!

Bride by Design
Halfway through her walk, her secretary appeared. Helena stopped to hear what he had to say. My vision for this long awaited day shattered when she tossed her veil away. "Excuse me!" The sound of my heart breaking into tiny little pieces was deafening and the murmurs of shocked family, friends and guests were muted. The wedding official's voice cut through. "Are you ok, dear?" Was I? For someone who was left standing at the altar... A jilted bride... I pushed the pain away, "I'm alright." The signs were always there. I only have myself to blame for the humiliation I had to suffer again today. I fell in love on my own so it was only fair to hurt alone. Fairy tale endings weren't for everyone; I knew this at the back of my mind. I may be foolish for thinking it but I always believed love has requirements; a beautiful face, a kind heart, deep pockets, a backbone - the list goes on. The requirements to be loved in return varied in proportions. So... Did I meet the standards? I had the money to entice her family. I had the backbone to stand by my decision to marry. I have a heart that loves her alone. I just fell a bar under beautiful. One could say I was passable. Somewhere along the line I must have missed and failed a mark... Just passable... Maybe that was the reason why she just passed me by. © All rights reservedComplete
Taming the Duke
Rosentine let out an audible snort, unladylike and deliberate. "I'm flattered, Your Grace," she said with a mock bow. "But I am not interested in further igniting that heat between those legs of yours. So please spare me some trouble." What an unwomanly gesture. But she could care less. If that's the means to get herself away from this man like a magnet, she might as well paint herself as mean and unapproachable as she goes. But just as she hoped to successfully distance herself, a strong arm grabbed her forearm. It was surprisingly gentle, but with a man's strength, she felt being pulled back, forcing her to face him. Upon doing so, her slightly trembling eyes met his. Other than his voice, his manly structure, and his cursed dimple, it seemed like his eyes were what made her avoid him. Blue as an ocean, she swore she saw them glistening under the sun. But instead of the usual look he would give her every time, this one looked different. She had never seen the ocean before in her entire life, but his eyes alone made her feel like she touched beautiful waves in a beach paradise. He released her, his gaze dropping to his boots as a low chuckle escaped him. His curls bounced lightly, and his broad shoulders shook with quiet mirth. "Those things you've just said," he stopped midway, finally looking at her in faint bewilderment, "... you never fail to amuse me, Miss Blackburn." God, she hated it. What does this man want from her anyway? But it is expected from a man like him. Jonathan Campbell, the young Duke of Lennox, has a strong reputation for being a ladies' man. Aside from his wealth, farmlands, and financial intellect, his charm among women just distances him from other noblemen. "You never fail to annoy me, too, Your Grace," she retorted. "You're such an untamable woman, aren't you?" He mused back. "Perhaps," she said, "but I don't intend to be tamed by the likes of you." Her lips curved into a frown. "If anything, it's you who'll be tamed."
The Sliced Moon
Why some people are destined to be sacrificed from their birth? Why a day suddenly turns into storms, leaving a gloomy sky without warmth? Why?......... No one answers these questions. It has been always like this...there is only resonance but no reply. Does an "escape" has to be always looked as a cowardly act? Sanja was an average child. She had no extra-ordinary talents. Or maybe only because, talents only blooms in a suitable situation... Whatever it was, she didn't have a chance to look at. As she struggled for every moment of survival... From the moment she appeared in her mother's womb - she was already labeled as a "seed of sin". Her mother was stubborn. She loved her own her blood and flesh even before its arrival on this world. Oneday she met a noble man - with a huge contrast of her previous experiences. A stone that has been stuck stiff in her heart so far, finally moved out a little bit inviting a soft warmth. She thought - 'maybe a flower's bloom wasn't actually of impossible'! Kothor, a man with unexpressive words had known her personality and understood her standing in the world. Perhaps because he had observed the human world with the impassive manner long enough, he was able to catch her inner griefs, turmoils and vexations. He stood up from his place to shield her and guide her to the right direction. His formal rigid nature shows a hints of glow whenever he stood beside her... When Sanja became rebellious, he extended his hand to remind her own foothold. When she has gone berserk - he could wash away the fogs before her eyesight..........not because he had absolute faith on humanity, but for the reason of saving her soul, free from any dirt. So although he didn't aid her actions, but never left her side for once. Eventually "better" was murdered by "worst". So, why do they have to be abide by the morals of the folks, which failed to give them a place to live?.....Complete

Things to Think About
[Part 1 in the "Contemplative Compositions" series] Here lies the random and slightly organized thoughts of moi. My take on the world is a click away. So, if you want to, CONTINUE!!!! In other words, this is a public journal full of my own and others thoughts. I'll add song lyrics from time to time. Some things may seem personal, other for the whole world to consider. Many topics here are controversial and many will or will not agree with. But that's the point; they are things to think about. (This is "Part 1". This will be finished after I reach 100 parts. After that, I'll start a new "Things to Think About", but it will have a different name. This is not something I want to stop, I just don't want it to get too overwhelming.)Complete
