Poetry
Cathedral (excerpt)
I built you a cathedral,
so even God would know your name.
Purple Rose (excerpt)
As you have captured my soul,
so my love has captured you.
Touched an Angel once – II (complete poem)
On the edge of the world, I stood in the dark.
The forest whispered, but I looked to the sky.
A crackle of lightning tore across the night,
shaking the clouds, and that’s when…
I saw her.
A light falling from the heavens, wrapped in black wings.
For a moment, the night was holy.
And I—touched an angel…once.
The Demon Named Vitium (excerpts)
You are only worth your lowest self! Nothing without me. I made you. I broke you. I’ll hold you in this fall.
…
No!
I refuse your words. Your wisdom has no meaning.
My life I control. I choose—
…
I tear away the ropes and chains on my body. They break into pieces.
I drive my powerful wings into motion, pulling harder than I ever have.
I rise above the trees. I climb toward the stars.
…
Lastly.
I have one dead weight. It’s you on my shoulder, the one I trusted.
You tried to seal me in a grave. You tried to control my fate.
…
I’ll cast you aside. You almost killed me. Now I live. Not you, but I.
You are the one who is nothing without me.
