Even The Stars

Poems and short stories written by me <3

Through some strange trick of magic and technology, You will see a paper, lacking anthology.

Gazing into it is like peering into a deep ocean of ancient stars. A warm, comforting presence so close, yet so very far.

The origins of where this parchment has come from are unknown. Its age beyond countable, passing the age of those ancient bones.

Its creator, as far as you can tell, left no trail. As you’ve heard, their progress has failed.

Looking you’ll see those stars, arranged to resemble your face. The cold glassy surface also reflects empty space.

But this is no scam. Yes it’s all very true. And as always, it’s still just you.

"I Still Search"

I still search For you in crowds In empty fields And soaring clouds

In city lights And passing cars On winding roads On wishing stars

I wonder where You could be now I’m still too scared To say your name out out loud

And more scared still To live without I guess I won’t mind I’ll miss you anyhow

"Spider" - A Eulogy

I killed a spider

Not even a murderous recluse

Or a dangerous black widow

And if truth were told

This was only a small

Sort of papery spider

She should have run

When I picked up the book

But she didn't

And she scared me

And I smashed her

I don't think I'm allowed to kill something

Just because

I

Am

Frightened
