2/14/25 Writing Challenge Poem: Annoy/Holiday

Defiance comes at a cost I pay happily, If it means my intrepid comrades remain annoyed, I accept it. Because I do not live my life in falsehoods, even as I craft reality, Surely I’ll return to reprimands and a scolding if not a full on fit. The sweetness of your smile and crumbs of mooncake on your lips, Lighting lanterns for our lost mothers making strangers into Family, Guiding a Dancing Dream through dark barrows into my hand his slips, Commandeering gondolas and making love beneath a starlit tapestry, Every moment I manage to steal, to draw out with my Prince is worth any price. This elaborate ruse of our affair being anything but right is grating, But festivals like these remind us of what makes it worth the sacrifice. That in time we will not be confined to secrecy and enjoy this celebrating. Every holiday festival is brighter, when wrapped within your arms, And every dream feels closer when you promise me you’re mine, In your love I lose myself, not blinded by the surface level charms, One day I will make this world ours as one, like when our souls entwine.

"I wish I for a good many things, Karamine.... I wish I had known you as Hessiah had... to have been able to see a sunrise with you. I wish I could have shown you my first painting and shared with you so many things... I wish I'd simply had a chance to know your face, just for a chance to draw it... So that I could have painted you just once and know if I favor you or father... To know if you would be proud of me. I wish for so many things, Mother. But most of all... I wish you knew me as I am now, as someone that is worth seeing, worth having. I'm sorry that the price of my arrival in this world was your departure from it... but I promise I will never waste that gift again... Not now that there is someone who has seen me as worth calling theirs, as someone who is worth the loss of you. Thank you for giving me this chance... Your Son, Cavello."

2/11/25 Writing Challenge Poem: Suspicious/Salutation

Correspondence:

My Lily-Prince, I still lack the proper salutation,

How does one even hope to to greet a muse, an inspiration,

The one who has delivered me into salvation,

The one that has returned to me each aspiration,

I bathe and paint in flower petals scent the colors too,

While my sister counterpart remains suspicious,

All I can think of is sharing them with you,

You’ve reminded me of myself, discovered I remain Ambitious,

Time dilates at the whim of every brush stroke,

My quill pen scratches truth that I have held within too long,

I am lost in a sea of overwhelming confessions I shall not revoke,

For as I struggle to sign each letter, It is with you this knight will Belong,

I don’t know how to say good night,

I refuse to say goodbye,

Every evening now lasts until dawn’s first Light,

In your blossoms, your letters, are why,

A crooked Lantern with Lily petals scattered,

A world we make together now; rewritten now for two,

Every boundary this Prince has shattered,

And This knight shall keep each oath He’s sworn to you.

"Shatterstar"

Rumors that orbit the "Shatterstar" surname in Nightborne High Society:

The Shattered Star- The Surname itself was born from an apprentice's bold decision to repair a project that had been defaced by a bitter rival Glass-blower. Rather than accept the failure the apprentice made the splintered star glass a part of the design that still hangs as a defiant symbol of resilience that is held in renown along with the Dusk lily for Thalyssra's rebellion. In fact some agents used it as a reminder of an oppressive regime of perfection being inherently easy to shatter, that even stars have cracks, and even tyrants shatter. Ever since the glass maker apprentice raised a shattered star the Family took it on as a moniker.

The Shatter Heart- The current heiress to the Shatterstar line is making tabloids everywhere throughout Azaroth but specifically Suramar. She is the greatest talent in glasswork that the Nightborne have seen in generations, however her name is in papers for her scandalous and ill fated affairs with the Daughters or wives of Night-Court Nobility. It seems like every week there's a new broken heart in her wake and Hessiah Shatterstar has not a thing to say in her defense. She teaches her craft at an arts academy, but nightly returns to seduce yet another politician's daughter just to break her heart, earning the nickname 'Shatterheart' that she has only seemed to embrace.

The Who? - The fact that the Shatterstars have any one but Hessiah to talk about is a wildly new concept… and yet the beginnings of a rumor revolving around a young Heir to a noble name seeing the until now unremarkable sibling has begun to trickle into the gossip at the Night Court. Is this Cavello the shadow his sister keeps to clean up after her scandals? Or a new one waiting to happen?
