Eyes Of Azrael

The Eyes Of Azrael is a collection of my poetry and short stories, of which examples and demoes are available below.


True Sight


Beauty hath returned to me.
For so long I have lived without.
The absence was cold and hopeless.
But I chose to hope. My choice.
Sometimes I faltered.
Sometimes I was failed.
But my True Family, I cannot repay.
Their task done, I hope, I am mine own
Once again. I am whole.
Ages passed.
Grandparents passed.
Epidemics came and went.
Yet here, a Husk no more,
I write.
Today I was seen.
Today I was recognised.
My talents, not yet wasted.
Not yet.
I feel all the world's Beauty again,
Willing me to communicate, her voice, 
As a chosen Avatar, Beauty,
I wield you as my weapon.
Upon sharp words,
Hopelessness, thine immortal enemy,
Shall at last be defeated.
I am a Champion of Gaia.
I yet live.
