burdens we carry
for sake of obligation
forsake what matters

hope swells defiant

‘midst a tyrant’s oppression

Remember Me Now

it’s not flattery
but acknowledgement
rouses our spirits,
yet we save for eulogies,
lauds the dead will never hear

loyalty required
no reward
power feeds on souls

Daily Lune #13

an anomaly
greets the dawn,
beautiful sunlight
