A Victorian trunk had its keys displaced probably for the better, but the curious waits. Breaking into a sacred space which folded garments now escape each woven from fabrics of a foreign place. All those silk, velvet, lace threads of gold and silver interlaced belongings of a long forgotten face. Who were they for, and what a waste! The dress in question took form in shapes of a wraith in anachronistic distaste all those rubies, pearls, and gems displaced. Sleeves lunged for a throttle, to eventual breaks "I'll have you know, that my name is Grace."
Built by a king, made for a queen the garden of stones sits in-between Inorganic fractals of glimmering shards a mimicry of nature less marred. Petals of blood wine garnet extinct florals’ incarnate Foliage of chartreuse peridot an ornate support Fruits of tropical citrine glassy exotics on alloy vines An entombed love, a death reprieved Still lives in a way, to this day, still live.
They put too much faith in your prescription cough syrup sweet Little bottle of remedy in for a chasing loop golden liquid high Not that one is blind or daft to boiling down your cure crucible red What used to be honey now a charred paste of lies bitter truth black
Say what you want about stars Peaking Everest Would not bring you any closer. Read what you want about stars Silly horoscopes Would not get you any further.
One drink down followed by another Finding shadows of you in the light on another. One more mistake for a heart so tender Another smile to fake what a jaded bartender. One text, a picture kept in the draft folder Memory starts to blur... One day it will stop to matter.
One of me
Versus multiples of you
Through cracked glasses
Rose tinted it may have been.
Allow me
to see all facets of you
broken hourglasses
nostalgia is what could have been.
You came like autumn
The fall is natural
Hearts and leaves alike.
You stayed for winter
Leaving footprints
In snow and minds alike.
You left in spring
Thawing dreams
Into streams of lonesome nights.
it is not my battle
it is not my war
just treat this as a prattle
just words and nothing more.
maybe the greatest enemy
is not a person or a thing
maybe it's something you can't be
a flaw in every human being.
perhaps one should consider
in years this would be a trifle
this issue is not so major
then my own laughter i will stifle.
one day the pen will rest
but the day is not today
i still wish you all the best
perspectives matter, and disagree you may.
Pity this fool thinking it's love
Self-serving interest of a love interest.
Yesterday she puts you up above
Current sentiment is yet of disinterest.
Honest opinions you casually shove
Of course, in the name of love you trust.
Buddies are but close strangers
It's our world not theirs, she says.
Thoughts of happiness in danger
Choices are lost along with grace
Honey trap is the ultimate game changer.

Strawberries and Champagne by Vellaroque, literature
Literature
Strawberries and Champagne
Blow out the candles already
happy twenty year anniversary.
This is our last celebration
grand finale to your so called dedication.
Frail flames are the reminiscence
of shared sparklers during days of acquaintance
which, indeed, would have lasted longer
if your desires didn't get to conquer.
This room reeks of stubborn flavours
masking insincerity to return the favour.
So a toast, to your newly acquired taste
Though artificial, all shall not go to waste.
Don't just stand there all so wary,
pop the champagne and savour the last strawberry.
Deceptive taste buds do not matter
because victory has never tasted better.
