Melodrama

Step by step, thundering closer

Maiden on the tracks, train moving faster.

Hero races forward, to avoid a disaster

Train thunders fast, maiden kisses saviour.

Shorts

Echoes of the past clash

With the tides of tomorrow.

***

Watch the storm clouds gather in the sky,

Then compare it with the thunder in your eyes.

***

They may be Angels, Kings and Queens,

But no one's exactly what they seem.

***

Whispering sands on a desert plain,

Echoing the seas rushing to distant shore.

***

Dark Knights sweep across the sky

While

White Knights line up to die.
