Smile past the disasterDon’t look for a masterShoot for the starsNo matter where they areNever let the night winYou can always start againLife is what you chooseDon’t settle and loseFight for what you wantEase is not a part of itBeauty in the empty spacesThe very best of your placesWhile the guilty run and hideYou canContinue reading “Make It True”

Too Far Gone
Cut away at convictionWhat remains is just afflictionSpinning in this funneled spaceUnaware of a lack of paceSo kindle fires and build them highHope to ascend up to the skyJoin the gods to which you prayOr do you think that would betray…A solemn oath taken so youngOne spoken by the tongueThe very same that moves noContinue reading “Too Far Gone”
Voice On The Wind
Hi everybody! Story time has come round again. This week I’ve got a slightly creepy Sci-Fi tale for you. Don’t want to give too much away other than that but it was fun to write. It’s a shorter story at 11,600 words. So with that I hope you enjoy Voice On The Wind. Everything isContinue reading “Voice On The Wind”
From Beyond The Light
Slink through the shadows escaping lightOne wrong step will reveal the fightNot a motion you wish to makeIrreversible mistake Cause even with your bleached clawsIt doesn’t mean you’re without flawsFlesh, sinew and old boneThey are still what was hewn from stone Effigy of a monsters spawnFrom nightmare you have been drawnSend in slithers of fearsContinue reading “From Beyond The Light”
Beauty In Sound
Plug into my veinI need to feel the gainSound without the painHere we go again Pumping out the noiseFilled with joyous poiseListen for the noteA voice so heaven spoke Reverb along the wallsCacophony of callsYour chest will rumble onRythmn of the song Screech from the ampApproving final stampWhile the static does humBlasts of the machineContinue reading “Beauty In Sound”

Rot Of The Rise
Hi! This week I’ve got a post-apocalyptic story (about 14,200 words long). I don’t feel comfortable calling it Sci-Fi as the technology (bar two examples which I’m not mentioning because I don’t want to give anything away) is entirely at the level of what we have now. Not got anything else to say about theContinue reading “Rot Of The Rise”
Bartered And Begged
Patience is a virtue or so they sayNot quite sure why it died todayFeels like a crime might have been committedOr maybe this is when it had to be pittedAgainst the backdrop of the moment of forgotThe point at which the it became a lotSold in an auction to the empty roomTaken by a crookContinue reading “Bartered And Begged”
