In all the Wonder, I am Lost

So, you find a demon.
Tamed, granting wishes,
Golden rings, silken webs.
Please keep its tricks
From me.

You find an opal eye.
Seeing our time,
All places forever.
Please do not come
Looking at me.

And you find a flower.
The moonlight petals can
Wake me from my death.
Please don’t bring this
Beauty to me.

When
You find your reflection.
And know it. 
To be just you.
Then please.
Find me too.

By Page, By World

Modern candlelight
Spluttering flicker.
A stumble. 
Of discovery. 
Whole world found
Another abandoned
Thoughtless.
Time undetermined. 

Tiny Stories Worthy of Saving

Serpents on the tongue.
Covering every inch.
Masses, struggling.
Escaping and falling at
Each and every word.
Carelessly used.
No matter.
More will grow.
Come back to me.
As slowly.
I will collect,
Preserve,
The
lies.
