The valley that speaks.
The sun soon sets
Upon the orange valley
The evening brings forth
Two Children
At the peak of fertility
Innocence is a virtue
Knowledge carries weight
Unmerciful is he, who lies in solitude
The evening closes
The moon burns the night sky
Laughter and soft whispers fill the night
They shouldn’t be there
Forever comes sooner than expected
The future calls
Halls, catacombs
Streets, deserts
Water, slurry
Air, smog
The pain rattles bones
Tenses the fibers of the chest
A soft exhale of worry enters
The blunt relief of the pill takes effect
A friend
Unique in value, but a friend no less
All my love I send
The hoof that hovers over
Taps at the dust
Let us not live in lust
Value over beauty
I always said it
The light that shines
Within your eyes
Escapes the past
Travels fast and exceeds
Please, just, please
Keep moving
She laughs without fear
Stands alone and true
A spirited horse at heart
With an aptitude to part
She is free in the wind
He stands alone and afraid
Forgotten in time and in place
The valley accepts him
Ashes cloud his sin
He never knew a pain like this could be true
Anis green drink in one hand
The taste of licorice soothes
A pen carves out the figure
That lies within the stones
Relieved and satisfied the young boy
Now a man
Sleeps alone and in place
Waiting for her hand
