They call me the Wild Rose

… But my name was Eliza Day

He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

Purple lullaby

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again

Prose by me

I solve all riddles

“I can carry you farther than any ship could take you,” said the snake.
He twined himself around the little prince’s ankle, like a golden bracelet.
“Whomever I touch, I send back to the earth from whence he came,” the snake spoke again. “But you are innocent and true, and you come from a star…“

“You move me to pity–you are so weak on this Earth made of granite,” the snake said. “I can help you, some day, if you grow too homesick for your own planet. I can–”
“Oh! I understand you very well,” said the little prince. “But why do you always speak in riddles?”
“I solve them all,” said the snake.

Quotes: “The Little Prince”, by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (excerpts from Chapter 17).

Glimpse of midnight

The moon shines white and silent
On the mist, which, like a tide
Of some enchanted ocean,
O’er the wide marsh doth glide,
Spreading its ghost-like billows
Silently far and wide.

Do you hear the eerie murmur in the dark, perhaps on the water? It might be the wind… or not the wind at all.

All things look strange and mystic,
The very bushes swell
And take wild shapes and motions,
As if beneath a spell…

Quotes: “Midnight”, by James Russell Lowell.

The night shall frown

The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.

They rise once again for me, and it’s with these fleshless souls that I will conquer my most wicked, sinful needs. March with me into the darkness and embrace the fiend in you… Else-wise, beware of your steps… you never know what manner of unholy creatures may be lurking in the shadows.

I need to break character to sing the praises of these incredible Pandemonium horns. They’re by far the most fabulous horns I’ve seen. High quality textures, materials enabled, and extremely customizable. Pretty much each piece of the horns and their adornments can be customized with different textures, styles, and tint. I’m wearing the Darkfell variety, but there are 4 other models available. Find them and most of the other stunning stuff from my creature at Sinful Needs. I’m very happy to add this awesomeness generator to my sponsors list!

Quote: “Spirits of the dead” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Lamia’s dream

In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed-
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted.

I don’t deserve my dreams, after all this time, after all the terrible things I’ve done. But, alas, they come. My dreams haunt me with sweet images of a past that could have been, a future that will never be. One day, I found the angel. Fallen like me, forgotten by life like me, beautiful like I used to be, before I was defiled and torn from existence, and cursed into this snake prison where I live.

I found solace in those empty eyes, in the peaceful features of the angel’s face. I spend my hours telling him my old time stories and my dreams. It seems to me he knows that monsters can also dream. I slowly dare to hope again. I’m no longer alone.

What though that light, thro’ storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth’s day-star?

Quotes: A Dream, by Edgar Allan Poe.

Am I evil?

“Come into the water, love,
Dance beneath the waves,
Where dwell the bones of sailor lads
Inside my saffron caves.”

I cannot be restrained. I will run free again, and once more men will hear my deadly song. Their hearts will freeze inside their chests, for they will know that their doom is certain. I will summon the power of a thousand winds and steal them away in my grim embrace. I am the storm that never dies.

Called by many dreadful names, my storm hag lies in her cage, ready to exert revenge. The moonlight shines on her unearthly Niflarenis skin, one of the three exquisite exclusive creations by Stargazer for the Skin Fair. It includes appliers for bodies, heads, and other body parts, even eyes! I combined it with the horns and wings from Stargazer’s Fenodyree avatar and the Ancoebus Maquillage.

On with the action now, I’ll strip your pride.
I’ll spread your blood around, I’ll see you ride.
Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat.
Like a double dozen before ya, smells so sweet.

Fearing you, loving you

Hunting you, I can smell you – alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down

The coarse ruffle of my feathers in the wind would be enough to congeal your guilty soul. I know your sins, I know your offenses against the gods, and I’m coming for you. There’s no escape. I can smell your fear.

Fearing you, loving you

Quotes: song “Haunted”, by Evanescence.

Nessun dorma

Nessun dorma…                              No one must sleep…
Tu pure, o Principessa,                  You, too, o Princess,
nella tua fredda stanza                in your cold room
guardi le stelle che tremano       look at the stars, that tremble
d’amore e di speranza!                with love and with hope!

The air feels thin as the princess paces in despair under the moonlight. Nobody was supposed to guess the riddles, nobody can ever have me. And yet, he did. The unknown prince guessed them all, earning her hand in marriage. She begged, she cried, she threatened, and she was granted another chance. Now she’s the one who must solve a riddle. I must find the name of the stranger before dawn, and then he will die just as all the others before him... Or everyone else in Pekin will.

My version of the cruel and beautiful princess Turandot is wearing one of the latest creations by Zuri Jewelry: the Snowflake Elite Choker, to go with her heart of ice. This lovely piece offers you a menu with 10 different gem textures for two sets of gems, and 2 metals to choose from. Here is your carriage to the Zuri Jewelry main store.

Principessa di morte!           Princess of death!
Principessa di gelo!              Princess of ice!
Dal tuo tragico cielo             Come down to earth
scendi giù sulla terra!…       from your tragic heaven!

Princess Turandot could not obtain the name of the stranger before dawn. As it happens often in operas, there was tragedy and death, there were passionate confessions of love, and her heart melted for the first time in her life. His name is Calaf… No, his name is love. They married. But was that really a happy ending? I guess it depends whom you ask.
