An excerpt of Poetry from my novel

I wonder sometimes of life and dying

When the world becomes so hard and trying

When nothing is what it seems to be

And you say that you long for me

you give me your un-beating heart

And say we never have to part

If an angel would from the Heavens cry

Would her tears fall like rain from the sky

And wash away all anguish and pain

Until blood and teardrops mingle like rain

If angels cry

If an Angel Would from the Heavens Cry by Breezy Brignall


I pour my heart out like red paint on your canvas

It splatters over the both of us as dusk melts in my heart

Rain is such a blessing in disguise when you have thirsted for as long as I

And the drought that I have crawled myself out of is subsiding

How is it that your very touch sets me ablaze?

How is it that a certain look, a certain quirk of your lips, sends me spiraling off my axis?

I ask myself these questions constantly as you are a constant temptation

A forbidden fruit in my Garden of Eden

The poisoned apple that Snow White bit and succumbed to her fate

Of eternal slumber

Your blood, though so different yet so familiar

I still thirst for you even though I shouldn’t

I drown the sky with my rain as I see storm clouds thundering above my head

The sun is peeking out from behind the lightning, longing to be seen once more

The sun torments me, shining bright behind the dusky clouds, and I see what I am

I drown the sky with my rain, and colors bleed together, all

pastels

and neutrals

and starry studded diamonds

collected in my Undead heart for safe keeping.

I have a fear that the diamonds that glitter deeply in your moonshine eyes can hurt me

but if I don't take a chance now,

will I ever find out?
