Pain

I thought the greatest pain
The cruelest loss
Was done

Shauntelle Benjamin 25/10/21 Shauntelle Benjamin 25/10/21

The Head, the Heart, the Arms, the Legs

When you see the world through not one
But several mind’s eyes
The heart grows full

Heaven

That’s what their important book says
It’s love.

The Head and the Heart

The dead are cold
Fiery on the surface
But cold, cold beneath

Winter Beckons

The frost of the season takes my hand and warms my face

Judge and Jury

The Mortal Realm, I am learning, Is full of judgement

Fuaim an tsolais ag bualadh ar chéad bachlóga an earraigh

Rejected by my own kind for refusing to
Rejected by my own kin for refusing to
Rejected by my kin for being unable to
be less than I am.

Bindings

What I left in my realm
Was the flesh upon which the debt was written
The mind in which the contract was signed
The eyes that sought to break it.

Realm and King

There is no logical reason for that course of action
and the pain it caused
Will ripple through existence

Caged

Some creatures
Learn what freedom means only because
They know what it is
To be caged.

Cursed

There is no fear in a world of observation
I was sent to observe
But became an active participant
In the affairs of the mortal realm

Mortal Sickness

This feeling takes root.
Grows from my gut to my heart
Tears me apart in its ferocity to climb from my mouth
And pour from my eyes.

Promises

Yes that chain that binds me to him and him to me in an offhand comment assuming connection in the same wayThat you and Jae -

Power Couple

He speaks rarely, my little alleycat, and I do hope that tonight he finds comfort In the soft delicacy my bedmate enjoys.
For he'll find none with me.

Dedication to a Lost Lord

This fuck I dedicate to you.

A Dark Thought

The sun rises like a hazy golden dish and I almost want to weep. Did they do this? Did their technology and wars and guns frighten Sol into a pallid representation of her true self?
