You found me,
When I was low.
Held me close,
So I could let go.
Now you are the reason
Why I feel so low.
I need to let you go,
So I can hold me close.

My Lady of the Court
My Lady of silver and smoke,
Do not be taken by the allure of
The clear cut truth.
It is nothing but a lie.
My Lady of gold and sunlight,
Enamoured you may be
With your adoring fans,
They will cheer at your execution.
My Lady of the everlasting night,
Your dark domain both threatens and shelters
Those whom you have claimed.
May your benevolence extend to all.

The Moon
The moon sings its soulful song,
Singing it to us all.
She dances with the joyful tides,
Without a care, at all.
Her moods of whimsy
Never fail to astonish or amaze.
Ever-changing, ever-evolving,
Yet always so steady and constant.

Scaling Justice
The scales of justice,
Tip, and tip again.
But the scale of these events,
Might help doom humanity.
Unrest may be human,
And so is compassion.
Although the scales tip,
Eventually, there is always equilibrium.

Invisible
Slipping away,
Feeling unseen,
Can anyone see me?
Do I want them to?
– Arsh
Recovering
Left me alone,
Fending for myself,
Abandoned again.
I got back up again,
Left you behind in the dust,
Now I'm in the light.

A Question Answered
Ethereal Goddess,
Can we say that we tried?
Just this once?
Magnificent disaster,
Trying was not enough,
It never is.
– Arsh
Deception
Talking low
And talking smooth,
Effortlessly charismatic.
Yet every effort has
Gone to waste.
They lied.
– Arsh
A Silver-Tongue
Eloquently speaking,
Yet slowly sinking.
No silver-tongue can
Help me now.
Suddenly drowning,
Yet, irreversibly hoping.
No hero can
Save me now.

Humanity
What gives an entity humanity?
It cannot be love,
For some humans don't feel it,
Though they are as human as everyone else.
What gives someone humanity?
It cannot be empathy,
For some people don't feel it,
Though they are as human as everyone else.
What gives someone
The right to decide another's humanity?
For humanity is an oft debated subject,
That no one knows the answer to.
Our humanity doesn't define us,
As we can't define our humanity.
So what makes us any different
From non-human entities?
