The Thousands of Moons - ani's Schreibecke

a moment in white [G]

the sky crying crystal tears,

falling down to gray grounds,

carried by the cold winds,

painting an innocent white.

two eyes watching,

two feet following.

the sound of crunches,

echoing in the quiet woods.

Black Dog [PG18|TW]

There is a black dog in your neighborhood,

your father gave him to you as a puppy.

He is a ruthless man.

There is a black dog in your neighborhood,

he pulls at the lash a bit too hard when you walk him.

You begin to stumble.

There is a black dog in your neighborhood,

he bites you when you are not expecting it.

It stings and makes you question yourself.

There is a black dog in your neighborhood,

he attacks you when you are not looking.

It hurts you deeply and leaves nasty marks.

There is a black dog in your neighborhood,

he is out of control and takes away your focus.

You can't get rid of him, he haunts you in your sleep.

There once was a black dog in your neighborhood.

Even though he became really big,

no one but you could see him.

There once was a black dog in your neighborhood.

You wanted someone to take him away from you,

but no one could help.

There once was a black dog in your neighborhood.

He drove you crazy,

even your tears could not wash your pain away.

There once was a black dog in your neighborhood.

One day he suddenly vanished.

He took you with him.

I saw a flash of red at the horizon,

it's almost the end of your journey.

Your tiny paws left heavy prints,

I can still see them.

They are tattooed on my heart.

You once where a little prince,

innocent and raw.

But your soul was taken by sickness.

it brought you that far.

You still fulfilled your dreams, I`m happy for you.

But you left me behind,

with tears and ashes.

Now it's time to let go,

the evening sun burning thoughts away.

I can see your red tail one last time.

Until you reach the moon,

your favorite place.

Now you reside with the stars,

they are shining painfully upon me.

But I know we will see each other again.

I know you will wait for me.

A Game of Death [PG13|Haiku]

Bloody thorns in the night

a white horse chasing

the wounded raven

Dream about you [PG13]

Last night I dreamed about you,

the shock of you leaving still deep in my bones.

You grabbed my shoulder gently,

telling me to keep strong.

And stroked my neck softly,

reassuring me I`m holding up well.

Last night you smiled at me your usual smile,

does that mean you are happy in that place?

You shined so brightly,

it gave me hope.

But waking again,

I couldn't stop my tears,

I missed you even more.

Life is a hustling friend [G | Vignette]

Why is it when the world around you is quiet,

that your mind seems to scream at you?

Life is a hustling friend. His days and nights buzzing with life.

You can feel him everywhere around you.

Crawling over your skin like a spider over its web.

It's a tingle, that reminds you of his never ending existence.

A tingle, you learned to ignore. Just like everyone.

It's on those days when you are home alone, standing at the opened window.

You can close your eyes and feel the crispy air on your warm skin.

It almost feels like the world is as quiet as it should be.

And just for one short moment it is.

Before your blank mind starts to work again.

Eyes open, gaze wandering from one thing to another, to everywhere... to that person.

That person, that left a deep scar on your broken heart.

Even the fresh air not being able to clean your soul or tears.

And in that moment you wished you could forget.

You wished, that friend of yours to be by your side a little bit faster.

Roses [G|Haiku]

once a tiny bud

it slowly started to bloom

a radiant red

It's easy to make mistakes at night [G | Prose]

“GET OUT“ Eve screamed at Pete, her now ex-lover. And if it wasn't for the darkness in their shared apartment, Pete would be scared to see those heavy tears, colored red by the blood moon shining high at the night sky. Eve usually wasn't one that screamed easily. She was a calm and composed person, but when she found out about her lovers nightly affairs she snapped badly. The heart that once beat rapidly when looking in those deep eyes now broken by Pete's foolish actions. Eve couldn't just forget and forgive. No, no one ever called her an easy person. So the only thing she could think of right now was getting her ex-lover out of her sight, grabbing a fluffy blanket, her favorite ice cream and watch some corny romance to cry her eyes out peacefully, without SOMEONE interfering.

Pete grabbed some clothes and his dog before leaving the apartment quietly, without a word or a big explanation. He knew Eve would no longer fall for his white lies. It wasn't the first time he cheated. Once you fall into that dark pit, it's easy to just stay there. It's easy to make mistakes at night, when no one can see you. Exciting he would call it, but not anymore, because his hideous stage play was over and revealed to the wrong person. The person he still loved deeply.

Someone might ask for the reason Pete started to cheat on Eve in the first place. On the outside they looked deeply in love and probably both thought they were, they still are. But Pete was curious, too curious. He opened Pandora's box one night and the rest was basically history. It's not like he stopped loving Eve. Oh no, he still worshiped the ground she was walking on, he would do everything for her, but this second life was just too addicting, like a drug and now it was his task to do the withdrawal.

He promised himself to fight for his love, he promised by the stars that looked just as red that night, he promised by his bloody tears.

He will be the scapegoat for everything and maybe after some time Eve's heart will beat rapidly at his sight once again. He hoped so dearly.
