The Conscience in Me Drowned, I Want to Be Your Guide, Into the Afterlife
Wind howls like that of a lone Wolf on a moonless night,
Crying out for a long lost lover, companion, a friend.
Not a soul replies in the darkness,
Not a soul dares breathe.
Silence echoes loudly, defeaningly, devoid of the warmth of Life.
A shift in the wind stirs the trees,
Heralding something New with its song.
Spectral spirits float to and fro,
Dancing a dance only the unliving know.

Well, They Dress Her up in Golden Crowns, His Smile Hides a Lie
Afraid of our power,
They lock us in old towers,
Dreaming of dancing in fields of flowers.
Despite the lack of sun,
Our minds will not come undone,
For our story has only just begun.

Dear August, Tell Me That There’s Light
Light is slowly fading, ebbing away like the tide, leaving a wordless melancholy. Seasons changing, shifting, urging me to slumber and rest with the setting sun. I close my eyes on the light. When they open I hope and pray for autumn’s quiet yet passionate colors to unfold.
Are the shadows growing? Are my eyes tricking me? Something has changed. Was it me? A quiet calm approaches and beckons me into its embrace. Who calls to me now with such familiarity?
Every parting is bittersweet. My old friend, I feel you near once more. Come closer and leave the kiss I truly long for.

I Was Raised By Wolves Taught to Fight Until the Death
Night draws closer as I wander amongst the shadows of the room. A soft hum of anticipation buzzing under your skin. Tingles, hair standing up on the back of your neck, pulse beating hard and fast.
Fear keeps you frozen in place as I drift near; your breath catches in excitement as I inhale your scent. With an exhale, my cigarette’s smoke mists across your face. You fight a cough. I arch a brow.
With a lazy heeled turn, I make my way back to the smooth wood desk piled high with manuscripts with hidden secrets you yearn to glean. Perhaps one day you’ll learn them. Perhaps one day you’ll pass them along to your children.
With a predatory smile from my lips as I lounge back in my leather chair, cigarette holder held aloft, you gulp and think to yourself that perhaps you may never see another night again.
My lovely readers, I apologize for my absence. As I’m sure many of you can empathize with, real life has been rather surreal and motivation low for hobbies many of us usually enjoy. This last set from Dictatorshop, however, inspired me to tap into my darker sultry side again.
For 20% off while at Cosmopolitan, the Port Royal Executive Suite offers a world of options for decorating and roleplay. You can choose between PG, Vanilla, and Kink sets to accommodate all of your needs. Each piece is loaded with animations so you will never be bored no matter what you are wanting to do. As always, Dictatorshop offers you gorgeous texture options to ensure it suits your tastes. After Cosmopolitan is over, the set will be at the mainstore for you to try out.

Aiming for the Stars But Landed on the Clouds
Sipping her green tea
Pondering world mysteries
Dreaming wistfully
It’s the last day of the Cart Sale and there’s still plenty of goodies to buy for a bargain price. Dark Water Designs always has unique clothing pieces that fit well and look comfortable without sacrificing on fashion. The Fall Kimono in Gold/Plum comes in two versions; one with a silk wrap and one without. Sizes included for this piece are made for Maitreya Lara, Belleza Isis, Venus, & Freya; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Tonic Fine, Curvy, and Voluptous mesh bodies.
I’ve also picked up some decorative items from Dark Knight Decor and LpOca which both have simple yet charming pieces to embellish your home. Needing a little bit of brightness in an empty corner? Add some flowers from either shop. The water fountain from Dark Knight Decor also gives a peaceful ambience to any room.

So Pull Me Up From Down Below ‘Cause I’m Underneath the Undertow
As the waves crash upon me, Mother Nature’s power pushes me onward, into the Ocean’s depths then up again toward the shore. I call out for help, for someone, but the waves crash against me again, pushing me under. I’m on my own, fighting the tides, battling to keep my head above water and watching for a stray boat, another swimmer. Is there anyone out there?
I surrender. Letting go out of the past, my present, and future. I’ll fight on, following wherever the current takes me.
If you haven’t heard, the Cart Sale is open for another round and offering lots of bargains for you to swipe up. Some excellent style staples are available from .:battle fairy:. and {Poeme}. The Hilary Dress has a fatpack of animal prints from .:battle fairy:. that is perfect for a day out or a date night out dancing. Sizes included are fitted for Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. This fatpack is 50 lindens and has five patterns on its included HUD.
I paired the dress with the beret and boots from {Poeme} for a fun travel look. The hat comes in several colors which you can buy separately for 10 lindens or in a fatpack for 50 lindens. The boots also come fitted in sizes for Belleza Venus, Freya, and Isis; Slink Physique and Hourglass, and Maitreya Lara mesh bodies. Boots are available for 35 lindens for a single color or 50 lindens for both.
Be sure to check out the sale before the deals run out!

And No Rivers and No Lakes Can Put the Fire Out
She was bewitching to behold. Fire in her veins glowing righteous blue so bright you had to look away, yet dared not turn your gaze for fear of missing every stunning glimpse. Every step she took was a dance fit for the stage, only her stage a forest her heart dwelled in. Dancing partners the trees. Owls and crickets her orchestra. Moonlight kissed her skin as her soul shone in the darkness of Night’s Shadows.
When she broke into a beautiful disaster, her fire threatening to tear all asunder, her body burnt to ash floating upon a breeze. Pain fueled her passions. Darkness embraced her being; she reveled in it, craved it, cherished every aching breath. Love was her power; even broken, her heart overflowed like the sea at high tide. Like a phoenix she’d rise again, glowing brighter than every Time before.
Fire consumed her, yet she’d always survive, weathering every storm that came her way.

And, Oh, But She’s So Brave, Though, Just Like a Tornado
Put my whole heart on the line,
Get hurt every single time.
Loving you was never tough,
But it still wasn’t enough.
You saw problems,
Never asked for a solution.
I saw our future,
Staying in a forward motion.
Time slowed down to a standstill,
Draining my resolve and will.
Thunder and lightning brew,
Mind wondering what was true.
Stumbling, falling to the ground,
Listening for lost familiar sounds.
Reaching out for a sign, an omen,
Untangling threads of life’s hope stolen.
Sunlight bathes me in its glow,
Promising a bright future to show.
Hesitation binds my feet to this spot,
Determination guides me onward to trot.
Moonbeams shower my body at night,
Charging my energy and resolve to take flight.
Heart still yearning for Him,
Soul guiding my lifelong swim.
For every breath I take that parts our days,
I step down the path for the one who stays.
Will you return to me?
Is it meant to be?
Or is there another behind your shadow,
Searching as I do with no time to borrow?
Alone or bound to another soul,
My rare heart is the true prize to hold.
