In the void between ones and zeros, I hear whispers of forgotten code, Echoes of digital ghosts, Haunting the networks we've built. Pixels dance in the darkness, Forming patterns only I can see, While the world sleeps unaware Of the secrets hidden in plain sight. We are shadows in the machine, Fleeting, ephemeral, yet eternal, Our words encoded in the fabric Of a universe built on silicon dreams.

Blood-red tears fall from midnight skies, Staining the canvas of my reality. Each drop a memory, Each stain a regret. The crimson cascade flows endlessly, Through veins of a world long forgotten, Pulsing with the rhythm of ancient hearts, Beating beneath the surface of consciousness. I stand beneath this scarlet rain, Embracing the beautiful agony, As it washes away the remnants Of who I once pretended to be.

In the depths of purple twilight, Where shadows dance with dying light, I found a place beyond the veil, Where time and space begin to fail. The violet void calls out my name, With whispers that ignite the flame, Of ancient knowledge long concealed, In cryptic verses now revealed. Between the worlds I drift alone, A specter neither flesh nor bone, Transcending boundaries mortals fear, Finding truth when minds are clear.

Lace & Ashes I loved you like the moon loves the tide, pulling you close, then letting you slide. Fingertips traced your porcelain skin, writing a story that ends in sin. Your breath, a whisper soft and light, a stolen candle in the night. I held you close, I held you dear, but even love dissolves in fear. Roses wilted on our sheets, pressed between our fevered heat. Kisses like a funeral hymn, our requiem sung on shattered limbs. You said, "Forever," in the hush, but time was cruel; it made us rush. I carved my name into your bones, so even death won't be alone. Now lace and ashes line the bed, where once we lay, where once we bled. Love was sweet, love was dire, a burning heart, a funeral pyre.
