Have you had a visit?


 Foundation.


Is social media temptations new ultimate playground?


Have The Children of The Ruina, visited you or someone you know?


In the first darkness, they come.

The Children of The Ruina. (L)


(A lone voice whispers)


My soul was once taken in from the cold

To join a new fold


To then wear a small finger of yellow and gold


By a goddess who lived by the sea


Who just loved me


Like seeds love spring when they are summoned to make the land green


The most beautiful woman I've ever seen


We were as one as we strolled


As the years past

And clocks rolled


But then the Angel of Separation passed and put us to task


Sent temptation our way

To see if we would yield, fail or pass


And I'm glad to say we never swallowed its deadly pill


And even more

Love each other still


So in closing

Just know even if you're happy


There are those out there

Somewhere 

Like the Angel of Separation


Who are jealous and will test your will


And offer you

Temptations lascivious pills


With a smile hiding a snarl

From the lost temple of Baal


So hold those you love closer than ever 


In this


The new age of those who'll put your relationships to the sword


Those not blessed 

By any known Lord
