The story this week is different. It’s not Sci-Fi but is set in the very near future. I really don’t want to say much more because if I do I might ruin the surprise. It’s a shorter story again at about 10,700 words. I had intended to write something else I’d been working on butContinue reading “From The Shadows”

Contradiction
Choose a route then change your mindCan’t you simply pick and grind?Walk a road without a shiftIt’s beginning to make me miffed Why can’t you just be clear?Instead of wandering over there and hereIt’s like a cloud has come downAttempting to steal every crown What is best for youMight not be for meStop trying toContinue reading “Contradiction”
Dumb Criminal
Kerching, your the victimThe pickpocket systemA day late and way too shortTime to speak with a consortBut that takes cashAnd you have noneEven tried to steal for funNever knew you were that dumbSat within the metal barsThe cops are laughing at your chargeWhile you plead, there’s been a mistakeYeah its called your stupid intakeBut stillContinue reading “Dumb Criminal”
Sail The Open Seas
Riding on the sullen seaWhere there is a salty breezeAs gulls do fly aroundAnd here there is no groundAt least not what is called landInstead on planks of wood we standWhile the air blows in our faceAnd the ship rolls all over the placeWith a hold full of golden coinsThat we spend as we sailContinue reading “Sail The Open Seas”
Patchwork
Impact on the subtle shameWhen did life become this pain?A tormented wisp of nothing more…Than a hand crushing your organ coreWhile a circle becomes the drainA quest for fame will drive you insaneSo remember what you wanted mostGive that up you morph to a ghost Hampered by what should have beenThe claw down the backContinue reading “Patchwork”
Changing Faces
Getting close to the end of March. This week I have what is in some ways a story very typical of me, yet at the same time different. The overall story is definitely Sci-Fi (and roughly 13,900 words), however the opening half really doesn’t make it seem that way. In fact, there are no hintsContinue reading “Changing Faces”
Endless Spiral
Heaven sent on the wings of the windThis whole world is yet to be binnedCrawling down the endless streetTo a place where the bones will meetNot a victim or a diseaseJust a pit within which stirs brutality Polarised by the weave of the goneA moment in time which was wrongHating all that came to beLikeContinue reading “Endless Spiral”
Cured
You grow like a cancerBut I have a chance hereTo shed you from my lifeAnd rise to a new height No point in cryingMy life is a prized thingSo now I am long goneTime for a new song Set up on fresh shoresRid of the old soresThe light is just greatAnd I won’t lose itContinue reading “Cured”
Written
Scratch the point against the pageScarring surface with memoriesThe soft flow of ink will comeLeaving a stain upon the run Engraved deep within its faceThe markings of our embraceNote it down but don’t give pauseFor this is what is the cause Then while its purpose will have changedNothing will take its beauty awayA shift inContinue reading “Written”
Haunt
I’m running and running I can’t take anymoreThis whole world has become but a boreFighting and killing what a strange way to liveIs there a way for me to forgive?When the time is short and my mind is numbI feel the demons continuing to comeWith an ice cold shiver going down my spineI want toContinue reading “Haunt”
