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”

Shed your skin like the bark off a treeWhat I am you will never beEverything you do is to make a pointObsession is the position your anoint Carve your name in the face of a bookYours is the hand that should not be shookCause you wish people to be in gravesDug with remnants of shatteredContinue reading “Acerbic”
Augur
And back to both longer story (about 14,000 words) and Sci-Fi. Truth be told while the setting is Sci-Fi that is not the focus of the story. Really, I would term this a psychological horror. Don’t really want to say much more than that because I might reveal something that could spoil the story. Instead,Continue reading “Augur”
Words In A Vacuum
It started as a whisperThen it soon did growNo point in changing pitcherIt will still overflow Cause from the source of all you hateComes the life that you can’t shakeDo something and not pretendThat which is born cannot endYou might think stars are your masterOr maybe that gods awaitBut truth is you are a victimTheContinue reading “Words In A Vacuum”
