When last we left off, the boys finally completed their first trial. They learned the Priests care little for their well-being, and all that matters is what they’re able to offer. Victory is everything and defeat means death. The first trial was both physical and psychological, but what of their pasts? What of the lives…

My words are rocksToo heavy to throw;Too sharp to catch;Too permanent to grow.The smell of petrichorHaunts these parched lands,But of the stormI have been preyAnd seek not a tempest.In the desert-land without hopeThat aroma is deathAnd I vowed upon the sand itself,Never again.A fool would stare at the sun–And a fool more to drown in…

At peace is the soul that has seen ruinAnd found possibility;The gray ash held not as a destroyed result of chance,But the seed of rebirth.Just as the phoenix in myth,Such are those that refuse to be forgotten.A second chance is the greatest giftAnd all are welcome to it’s magicSo long as they believe.The gravity of…

I trace the scar on my arm.I trace the scar on my hip.I trace the one on my shoulderAnd the one just under my chin.I follow the outline of the hourglass over my heart.I rub my thumb across the semicolon on my wrist.One is there for luck,And the other a reminder I can make it…

I wish I could look into your eyesJust one last time,But I know that’s not possible now.You’ve moved on from all the ways I failed you.If I could see the futureThe way I remember the pastI would have made you smileLike I always wished.I wanted to take you to dinner.I wanted to take you to…

Thoughts fall down on a worried mind,Much like a blanket in the baking sun.Words drop short of the hill I climb,Spoken from lips ready to call it done. Sad eyes raise to a lonely sky,Where nothing there has time to shine for me.Had to learn to be my own light,Just to burn up trying to…
