I shot the bullet and I prayed to the roomWhat I asked for was never a tombNeed of a relief to ease out the silenceYet all I see are volumes of violence Jab to the ribs that won’t save a thingFaded outline of a once human beingWhat stands here will never be the sameAdded theContinue reading “Atrocity, Commit Me”

Grass Is Greener
OK this one was a difficult one to write. Not because of concept or subject matter but because I just simply struggled with it. I had two false starts. First I got to about three thousand words, then I decided I didn’t like where it was going, deleted half of it, rewrote it back toContinue reading “Grass Is Greener”
Chink In The Armour Might Be A Saviour
For these mistakes I must atoneIf I don’t I can’t postponeDisassociate from my darkest daysWhen all the light had gone away Polarised by things I’ve saidEach one felt like a warheadShot into the heart of lifeObliteration becomes rife But this is not what I wish to leaveSometimes the past needs a reprievePause from the endlessContinue reading “Chink In The Armour Might Be A Saviour”
Consider
A galaxy wrapped in violenceBut all that happens in silenceNo one hears the planets dieAs they sink into the horizons eyeWhat we see is pastNone of it will lastCollisions change the formCreating some new bornBut the rocks continue to tumbleIt’s like they simply fumbleSlip from where they stoodNow spiralling for goodUntil the next impactWhen it’sContinue reading “Consider”
Strum
Pluck at the stringHear it ringShivers up the spineFeeling so fineRumble in the chestSo impressedTurns to a songAsking, what is wrong?They are simple wordsWe’ve all heardDon’t want an endMake it a trendKeep the melody goingThe music is flowingUpswing in the moodBetter than foodHead starts to bobOblivious to the mobAll do the sameAccepting the painThen comesContinue reading “Strum”
Night Of The Dead
Dirge of the macabre mawOpening up of the fanged dance floorCobwebs hang from the raftersChandeliers adorned with rapturesJester cavorts along to the schemeAs his smile sits with an evil beamBut sing it once then start againSew into this marrying of whenAs skeletons sway and ghouls cryFuneral march of the bloody allyA place where death isContinue reading “Night Of The Dead”
Blue Eyes Blind
Story time is here again! I swear I’ve said that more than a dozen times but can only think of so many ways of introducing these posts. Anyway, here is another Sci-Fi story, it’s about 11,300 words, I think it’s more fast paced and I want to see if this goes down how you thinkContinue reading “Blue Eyes Blind”
Limiting Factors
Judge by colour of skinWhy is it still even a thing?We are one and the sameThis stupidity is not a game Inflict damage upon a soulWe have never had controlIt’s like judging by eye colourSuch a thing could not be duller I am you and you are meWe are all part of humanityNot a subsetContinue reading “Limiting Factors”
Ascend The Spire
Climbing up this endless riseWill I ever reach the prize?I cannot say what does awaitMaybe this is a grave mistakeAll while the world is turningI’m unaware of how bad I’m burningThe air is thin and it’s hard to breatheI feel like I might have a diseaseBut I can’t say if that’s trueI just want toContinue reading “Ascend The Spire”
What Am I?
You say I can’t look upWhat a load of crockEven if I often choose not toYou’ve seen it happen thoughWhile I spend my time doing littleEat a bit then lounge non-committalI process I repeat each dayNot quite true but it’ll doFive then pause for a coupleOnly to restart the same cycleBut have you guessed whoContinue reading “What Am I?”
