Hallows Eve

I’m the scare before crowAnd I’m coming for youWith a bump in the nightI’ll give you a frightAs the howl of the windComes along creepingSo go out aloneAnd you’re bound to not get homeWhile the lanterns do blazeI am the thing that is crazedAnd with a flash of a knifeYou’ll die tonightSo keep out theContinue reading “Hallows Eve”

Twin

You were my twinTogether we could do almost anything Then came in the severIt was like the pulling of a leverCut you off from meLoss I could not believe You were my twinTogether we could do almost anythingAnd then it changed The sky turned darkYou always wanted to barkRip skin from boneDetermined to dwell aloneContinue reading “Twin”

Rift

Surrounded by a sea of fireManifestation of your desireSeen the brave try and get closeManaged only to become toastBurned right down into ashFrom that there is no way backBut not your doing I will sayYour brilliance was too much to pay Stranded on an empty shoreLoneliness you feel so much moreLike being put up onContinue reading “Rift”

Monotony Is Monotone

Hi! Hope you all are well. This Wednesday, as is normal, I have a new story (it’s about 8,200 words). It’s a Sci-Fi story, eventually, but was not written like one. Usually, I know a story is Sci-Fi whereas this one I had to think on its categorisation. Don’t want to spoil anything but theContinue reading “Monotony Is Monotone”

Murky

I see the lies in the mirror that I want to believeI’ll ignore the reality just to fund the easeCause when all is said and done and I’m throughNo part of me wants to be like any of you I look for a new bridge to link to the landInstead all I see is howContinue reading “Murky”
