Perspective Shift

Tooth and nail, we will prevailSail the oceans beyond the paleWinds of change and waters of lifeFighting past the path of strife Climb the walls of brand new dayReach for a point beyond entropyWithout the ceiling of what they chooseA hamster wheel that limits your mood While the waves come crashing downTurn that frown upsidedownTakeContinue reading “Perspective Shift”

Division

You want a war? Well fuck right offI don’t want to be part of that causeAll you feast on, are hate and liesYou pull the trigger then argue the cries So no, just get awayPity is gone from my heart todayAs you, have become the thingThe very fascist at which you were yelling So now,Continue reading “Division”

Shifting

Carving at the stoneFeels like I am aloneLast soul in a glass boxAll I hear is the ticking of clocksMad to think about where I standMore like I’ve been bannedCast out into the endless seaForced to wade through stupidity Face on the wallIt never makes a callJust a name in the etherPretty sure they’re aContinue reading “Shifting”

Shape Render

Hi everybody! This week I’ve got a fantasy story for you. It’s shocking I know but it is true. Would love to give some details about it but if I do that it’ll give the story away. Seeing as I can’t say anything (other than that it is about 8,800 words) how about we getContinue reading “Shape Render”

Never Victimless

Drag the watersFor the missing soulsHope for nothingOnce the bodies coldFind the remnantsOf who once had a nameJust remember suicide breeds pain Search the houseIt’s barely a homeJust ruinFilled with pornPlus lots of needlesAlready found the veinThis is not how to survive the game

Burnt

Toxicity is not the solutionDo away with the pollutionBuild a new habit that’s better thanBeing the troll that we condemn But you carry on with the posionSo we cut you out of inclusionYou’ll just be a name among the crowdOne that will never be said aloud What a pity you believed its the pathYou’re oldContinue reading “Burnt”

Reflections Of The Same

I stuck a knife in youJust to see whats trueWrapped in ethereal hazeCan’t we get back to those days? Shuffling through azure fieldsWhat I say is all stealLooking at the layered skyMoments before you wave and cry Lying to change the tuneThe modern era is a tombRasping out words that biteWill you use your secondContinue reading “Reflections Of The Same”

Scale And Prevail

Climb the mountain to the passThe chilling air is falling fastClawing at the skin that is not wrappedI feel it burning and becoming chappedIf only the snow would just relentI might be able to erect my tentBy with these winds and my limited viewTrying that would fail through and throughInstead I need a rock inContinue reading “Scale And Prevail”

The Meeting

This week I have the story The Meeting. It’s a Sci-Fi tale (about 10,000 words) involving a bounty hunter and a prospective client on a mining platform in a distant star system. This story probably isn’t going to unfold how you might expect it. That’s all I’m going to say. Hope you enjoy it! VigoContinue reading “The Meeting”

Resolute

Time is a ticking and I can’t waitIf I do then I not might get to takeMy hand off the wheel and look aroundDoing that will put me in the groundAnd that is not where I want to beToo much left for me to seeI don’t roam like a foolI mean this world is beyondContinue reading “Resolute”
