Woebegone Wynds by Hornbill Harcel
“Brevity is the name of Callous,
who mourns the loss of his love being.
Sublime were the intentions,
to applaud at the monster beneath.
Benign is my Spirit,
that revolves around his captured soul.
Notorious is the rhythm,
that salutes at the fruitful hope.”

Woebegone Wynds by Hornbill Harcel
“Dusk, dawn, and mournful twilight,
sings the tale of failing mankind.
He who is a reaper and bears the scythe,
Why am I the one he is keeping an eye?”

Woebegone Wynds by Hornbill Harcel
“Tired of toxic behaviors,
My breath dwindles in air.
With every vow of the silken winds,
It develops a thirst for fair.
How long the thought has lingered,

Tossing & Turning with velocity,
a dream consoles my mind.”

“When rain pours on the temple of her eyes
I flashed back to the memories
buried deep inside”
Hornbill Harcel, Woebegone Wynds

“My milady heart is a citrus paradisi,
engulfed in layers of acidic flesh.
The swain peels the flavedo with urgency
and feasts on it in a rampant zest.”
Hornbill Harcel, Where the Piopios Sing

“A raging river gushes past a mansion of ghosts,
made of black onyx, hiding a minacious plot.
The kelp of secrets buried under the sea
will breeze in like the amber advent in Verdin.”
Hornbill Harcel, Where the Piopios Sing

“If eyes are the windows of a soul,
I’ll carve yours and replace it with mine.
May you suffer the same angst and agony,
you have wantonly sketched in my life.”
Hornbill Harcel, Where the Piopios Sing

“She’s crying in the palm of my hands.
The world that has made her cry,
I will look up to it no more.
When I’ll burn it to cinders,
she will smile while the rest mourns.”
Hornbill Harcel

“There is anger in his eyes,
There is fire in his soul,
There is passion in his heart,
O’ mighty heralds…
It must have been a bloody night,
When you wrote murder in his hands.”

carves a delicate blanket as they kissed”
