Promise Me
by Readinpleasure
promise you'll always be there
when shadows gather their sheaves
dying rustles expunged air,
and tides a volcanic steam
this breathless heart tolls a bell
faint notes, diluted sweetness
whispers of a living well
let me sip of its freshness
oh, shield me from this darkness
my lids droop in final bow
yielding to sleep in meekness
holding dear in death our vow

Glass Box
by E.D. Allee
Glass box, cube of confinement
Exposed, and unenlightened
Enough room to touch all walls
While feeling nothing at all...
