First she came, the eldest of the three, The Queen of Valrane, akin to Leto as she reign, Soon she fell ill, leaving her brothers to take her place And passed before it reached midday. . Then came the eldest of twin brothers, Akin to Artemis, despising their other half And became King to spite their twin, Caring little of their people's opinion. . As time went, the middle grew corrupt, An illness on their soul from childhood, Growing without any way to be stopped And left them to die while they stood. . They knew that they would pass,…

Trigger warning: Dark topic Continuation of Midnight Walk His patience was held by a thread because this morning, he woke up to a cold, empty bed. It had been cold for some time.

It had been the sun that awoke him—meaning she had not awakened him in time and he would have to do many chores way faster than usual. She hadn’t been there for hours.…

In Africa’s cradle, beneath endless skies,Lucy rose where the first light lies.Her ancient bones, a timeless key,Unlock the roots of you and me. . From Africa’s heart, our journey began,Dreams carried by woman and man.Through mountains crossed and oceans wide,We lit the spark, side by side. . Though borders rose and hate divides,Our shared beginnings never hide.The same first breath, the same first star,No walls too high, no place too far. . Alone, we go faster; together, we thrive.In unity’s warmth, humanity’s alive.Let love and peace guide what we do,For we are many—and yet, we are one, too. Links: Lucy’s…

I am the moon and you are the sun. I always follow, yet I never stay. I leave, yet I always wait. I linger in your shadow, desiring a pause of your gaze, but you see others before me. Every day is a sorrow, scars reflecting my pain, the lights fading away. My size increasingly decreasing in your heart’s expanding, how could I stop? Is it bad to want love, dear? With time, will you forget me? I wish not to exist, cease this unbearable pain. I am lost in delusions, visions of you and me. You never let others…

Time is not the same, Why am I pretending, To forget the pain, Would you even? . I see you everywhere, I cannot look at myself, For I hear your voice, Why did you leave me behind? .
