"Silence Reigns with Blood"

(M)edusa's sinister strands, they slanted Perseus' eyes of wide wonder-heart shaped heads slither in and out of stone pillars...

(E)nergy trembled through a vague hero, questioning his understanding of sanity-a warm salty droplet untimely splashes...

(D)ivided in secret no more, for an echoing alert sounds-her devilish pace quickens to a hunt...

(U)nder dank moonlight, savage forked tongues tasted warm flesh-his cool blade unsheaths with deadly ease...

(S)ilence reigns with blood, a flicker of justice sparks-her ghastly head of a hundred temptations fell...

(A)nother thrill, another chill, just... another... kill... for a mythological hero.

All hail Perseus!

"Stars will collide: The Story of an Ironic Bull & Lonely Scorpion"

(S)uch majestic power to fear, her restrained horns are ever so sharp and polished-dust settles about the cumbersome retreat...

(T)aurus fears the arched point aloft, a tiny red stinger glistens at the prick-her slanted eyes spark beneath heavy brow...

(A)n ironic bull's shadow withdraws from a lonely red scorpion, her fearful heart secretly seeks his velvet venom-Scorpius inches closer to flirty peeks...

(R)ock secures Scorpius' fragile quest, leaving Taurus another circling retreat-her guarded independence pounds...

(S)omehow this ironic union could work, Gods not quite sure how fixed stars will collide-from the deep unknown destiny echos with hallowed advice and a slight warning...

Just let it be... let it be, let it be... just let it be.
