The Title Holds Weight

And here is the second post of the day! Devil is in the detailBut you haven’t set the scaleMoving past the tipping pointYou haven’t offered one clear thoughtSpouting words that contradictEveryone is so so sickNow hurry up and say somethingBefore an end is what you bringWe can’t listen to the callsYou ran away to hideContinue reading “The Title Holds Weight”

Empty Words

Hey everyone! I don’t usually post on a Thursday or introduce poems that I post for that matter. But on this occasion I am as I wrote this and felt that it was appropriate to post sooner rather than later due to its content. Also this is the first of two posts today. Your systemContinue reading “Empty Words”

Contact

Here we are at Wednesday again. This time we have an even longer story (nearly 11000 words) than the last. This one’s about first contact between humanity and an alien species. Have fun! The arrowhead shaped silver ship sits motionless in the endless black void of space nine hundred miles above the surface of Earth.Continue reading “Contact”

Abandoned

Returning home after all these yearsI expected more than endless tearsA street that once was homeNow just shells and vacant roadsYou’d think that war took this placeIn reality it was left to fadeIts even worse than when I left beforeMy feeling are an open soreI came back and there is only shameShopping malls with lockedContinue reading “Abandoned”

The room is square and maybe four metres across with sterile white walls, ceiling and floor. The surfaces are hard and cool but have not been formed byContinue reading “Transgression”

Thief

Will you walk through the valley of the shadow of death?Or can we honestly say that you are just full of shit?With a smile on your face and lies in your eyesAll you ever do is wear a disguiseSo try a new direction where you don’t cause painBut honestly I know you’d rather just goContinue reading “Thief”

Passing

Would you wait in a field for me to appear?Or would you walk away because I’m not here?With a spring in your step or was it just fear?Did you ever care or was it just an idea?I don’t know but I can make a guessYou wanted something without pushing for itThought it would land inContinue reading “Passing”
