Lost Asunder
I’m ba-ack! Sorry, couldn’t resist. But it is true. I’m back again with another story post. Lost Asunder is the latest in what I’m calling a series of stories. It follows on from Fragmented Friends.

One Way Ride
Actors put on a play most decadentSoon their energies will be spentApproximation waiting in the wingsLaying claim to the final bell rings So open those eyes and gaze upon this misalignmentTo retread this route would be most violentFor what has formed is not what should thriveRefute that and no soul will ever get out aliveIt’llContinue reading “One Way Ride”
Ease
Lying on my bedEmptying my headDon’t think about a thingJust do some livingIt doesn’t have to beWork until your eyes bleedSuch a sad way to flowRight up until the drop so…Let it drift awayListen to the rain todayNo more grinding downAid to invert the frownIts not worth the greyThe failing of your bodyI made thatContinue reading “Ease”

It was fun and different. Not as challenging as I thought it would be.Continue reading “Forever After”

Route
Born into the world,I haven’t got a map.Don’t know where to go,It won’t fall into my lap. I take another path,Hoping thats its better.Then I reach the end,Its like braving violent weather. Days turned into years,No real progress made.Options without end,Think I should just fade. Now I wander lost,Convinced this is a con.It all looksContinue reading “Route”

Falling downTo the groundWind rushing pastSeems so fastAir is a buzzFilled with usThen we splatterSpit and clatterThe driving soundIs all aroundRun and formPuddles in the stormRest where we landNo surface is bandWe are the rainComing down again
