Ivas by Alisaire Frey'yttreSeductress
by Sabitor

The shadowed eyes beckon, gleaming with lust,
Lithe and lean body screaming with its grace,
In this fine woman do I place my trust,
Ignoring the dark that flits 'cross her face.

I melt into her arms, pale with the cold,
As she fixates on me with hungry gaze,
I misinterpret; my soul has been sold.
To Ivas I lose the rest of my days.

Unearthly beauty hides an untamed beast,
Slimy tentacles concealed by smooth arms,
On my lust and desire does she feast,
I, still unable to resist her charms.

So I submit as my blood she does draw,
I forget -- she has not a mouth, but a maw.

 


My Love Lost
by Sharylia

Love Lost by Naora LitefyreLove fold your arms around me
And teach me how to live.
Take my hate -my cares- away
And let them slowly fade.

My heart, oh broken as it is,
Longs to hear his joyful sounds.
Lonely cries of mine I hear--
For none other than for him.

Every whisper heard so clear
Makes it sound like he is near.
A prospect to my lonely heart
Only calling to the dark.

Love, please take my breath away
Because I know what sadness brings.
Leave me here to rot away —
I don't want to live without him.

From the most demonic of Mages to the purest of souls
We have been placed together like fish in a bowl

To brave the monsters and quests of the lands
To what beginning or end is truly not in our hands

Ours is only to seek the peaceful glowing sunset of everyday
To learn wisdom or wit, bring what it may

The wedding of our souls in the truest of form
From skinning a rat whisker or fending off an invasion swarm

Our dreams shall rise like that of the colors that flare
Carry on we will, combining our knowledge into light brighter than the purest diamond's glare!


A Hunter's Lullabye
by Sigrid Linsang

Close thine eyes, my drowsing puss,
The night's illusions call to thee.
Unsheathe thy claws, and silent step -
The nightmare game's awaiting thee.

Hunt in dreams, my sweetling cat,
Thy prey is just ahead of thee.
Its pain brings death and sweet release,
And honor to the Lord of thee.

Dance in shadow, kitten mine,
The moon is shining down on thee.
The slitted eye of Andelas,
Bright and fierce, is watching thee.
