Doll

Love or hate?

Wait.

Who’s to say?

The hardship is drawn in paint.

Yet, 

 The question still remains the same.

Mirror on the wall. 

Am I really worth anything at all?

Dress me up, 

I’m your little doll. 

But who will catch me if I fall? 

It’s okay, 

I think,

  I’ll just lie here in the asphalt. 

I hope you’ll come back one day to play. 

Because I know there’s nothing else to gain. 



Mirror, mirror, mirror. 

Everything’s starting to look clearer. 

Take a peek.

Freak, freak, freak. 

She keeps staring back at me. 

A toy with no expiration date.

Yet, I've been thrown away. 

It’s okay, 

 I think,

  I’ll close my eyes.

Just for awhile.



Seasons change. 

The porcelain is looking a bit stained. 

Should I go or should I stay? 

The choice wasn’t ever mine.

Please wind me up. 

Don’t worry, 

I can no longer feel.

I am only a replica of what is real.

Chapter Five

Fauna eyelids lift only to slowly reveal the color of grape wine. The first thing she focuses on is the ceiling. A beautiful landscape had been painted in detail above the bed. It was so lifelike in every way. The brilliance of it was the waterfall and the forest on one side of the mountain, nearby the village. Which then lights up in flames, but its appearance returns to normal after a few hard blinks.   She rolls over onto her side only to realize Blazerine wasn’t there. Surpass the bed she sees her standing out on the balcony. She doesn’t recall if she actually had ever gotten into bed last night. Sitting up straight, she stretches her arms and legs out. Then the covers are pushed off to the side, exposing her nude body. The upper part is nearly covered by long violet hair that just stops right below her chest. Right beside the bed was a nightstand where her clothing could be found folded. Sitting beneath it was her boots. After she’s dressed she goes out onto the balcony t...

Chapter II (Second Book)

Magic, in all its wondrous forms. Beautiful. Mysterious. Deadly. Has all sculpted together to create the land of Rivale. For as long as anyone can remember, and further back than any dusty old tome can recount, there have always been mages in Rivale, but magic was not a gift for all. In fact, most were magic-less in every sense. Those who did have the rare gift considered themselves lords over their countrymen, and there was little the common folk could do to oppose them. But something happened that would change Rivale forever…  The next Reinfred in line, a prince was unexpectedly born without any magic. This had never occurred, not even once in the Reinfred's bloodline.  The Queen; Rohesia Reinfred kept it a secret by using her own gift of a silver tongue. Any single word which left her lips, truth or lie was believed without question. She hid the fact for years, that her son was devoid of magic like any other commoner.  On the very day of Prince Roderi...

Chapter VI

Dear Johan Damus, Ten years have passed since that dreadful day - since I last saw your face. Even if it hurts to not call your name. I'll smile knowing that life... somehow will go on.  Sometimes you have to forget how to breathe - to learn how to live again.  My heart may shrivel up for now, but not for long, I know, we will meet again. Sincerely, Adam One by one, the pages in Adam's journal were overturned by the oncoming breeze which seeped through the fabric of Winifred's tent. The noise nearly startled him, a lot did these days. Especially when he had nothing else to distract him from his own mind. Anything and everything was just a reminder of Damus. A yearning to know if he was still out there - alive and well.  "There you go." Adam gently finished tying the bandage he had wrapped around the little girl's arm. "Be more careful climbing those trees next time, hm?"  "I will! I will!" Kris swallowed back the tears and forc...
