23 Jul

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel: Alchemyst

21 Jul

Danu Talis would sink beneath the waves and that our world would end.
It would come again…
When the two that are one and the one that is all have arrived, when the sun and moon are united.

There will come a time when the Book is taken
And the Queen’s man is allied with the Crow.
Then the Elder will step out of the Shadows
And the immortal must train the mortal.
The two that are one must become the one that is all.

- The Book of Abraham, the Mage -

Philosophical truth

12 Jul

Nothing is as it seems. You must learn to question everything. To wait before moving, to look before stepping and to observe everything.

this too shall pass

27 Jun

My head spins like tornadoes gone wild..
this too shall pass
but what is this that i can’t explain
i feel like i’m going insane

my sight is blinded of a so called light
too dark i can’t see my way
this too shall pass

it better should

everything is haywire
i’m in total disarray
save me from this moment
songs filling up empty spaces

empty meanings
empty words
empty beginnings
this too shall pass

sleep is calling me
i have no one else to turn to
sleep with me
i beg of you
this dream is all about you

empty nights
empty beds
empty moments
this too shall pass

hold me tight and tell me you’re real
or i shall let you pass

without me realizing you were ever here.

this too shall pass
it should.

Pause (Excerpt)

22 Jun

You said “The fires won’t consume you,
And in the rivers you won’t drown”
I wish to pause this moment…

Don’t

21 Jun

Don’t misunderstand formality with kindness,
bitterness with an opportunity for compassion
and compliments with interest.

Don’t be deceived by battling eyes that seem to pore into your being,
nor swept by sweet words of invisible poison.
They don’t belong.

Alcohol runs through one’s veins like lips on fire,
whilst ice shall always extinguish.
Things are not always what they seem.

Though I really wish they were.
