“Do not trust their words.
Challenge them to a staring contest, at the sun.
That is the true measure of a man.
The willingness to ruin oneself to prove.”
― L.P. Cowling, Infinite

“Nature, it seems, will find a way to protect herself, even if she must cheat.”
― Calvin Demmer, Duel the Darkness for Nightmare Rule

“The day drags through though storms keep out the sun;
And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on:

Even as a broken mirror, which the glass
In every fragment multiplies; and makes
A thousand images of one that was,
The same, and still the more, the more it breaks;
And thus the heart will do which not forsakes,
Living in shattered guise, and still, and cold,
And bloodless, with its sleepless sorrow aches,
Yet withers on till all without is old,
Showing no visible sign, for such things are untold.”
― Lord Byron, The Complete Poetical Works of Byron

“Loneliness is a storm.
Not something relaxing, the pitter patter and distant rumble.
But the annoying pre-storm, wherein lives are boring, and not satisfying.

Hello?
Oh, the car crashed.
It’s sad, that’s so abrasive.
There are no voices in my head anymore,
But I’d welcome the company, you know.

Good thing I have nothing to hide,
So I’ll wait for you, and them.
~”
― L.P. Cowling, PFI: Poetry Collection
