Barren surface of blood red sand.Planet known for being the empires most prized land.Fuelled by spice dug from the ground.Too many noises result in a distinctive sound.Rumble, tremor, approaching worm.One false move will end your turn.Playing politics is simple by compare.Mostly they manoeuvre and deliver a hard stare.With eyes turned blue by exposure and time.NoContinue reading “Third From Canopus”

Wrath of the mountain.Mass of falling rocks.Screaming and shouting.Then come aftershocks. No malice or intention.Just nature unfolding.Fear and apprehension.Terror is sharp and holding. Bare hands digging.Cries from below.Not time for quitting.Hope starts to grow. First found is a loss.Pleas continue through dust.Everyone gives a toss.Efforts will not go bust. Hand reaches from debris.Screams of reliefContinue reading “The Mountain”

Its been ages since I’ve seen your face.Yet I still remember your sweet taste.Every now and then it returns to linger as if you’re here.Alas I know those times are confined to yesteryear. Sometimes I swear it can smell your perfume.It always has and will remind me of first bloom.Still I know I can’t goContinue reading “Violent Games”

A megalomaniac wants to hold the world in his palm.Purely so he can control what is said about them.Does that mean we should bow?No, it means resistance is the correct thing now.So stand defiant in the face of such oppression! Tyrannical racist wishes to conspire to take control.Onto our backs in response we should neverContinue reading “Ash And Peat”

You are the shining star I wish to carry on my back.The flag I want flying no matter the fact.Might sound strange or make me a weirdo.But you are unlike the majority with their ego.A delicate soul trapped in this rat race age.Locked in place and unable to turn to the next page.Does that makeContinue reading “Flower In A Sea Of Dread”

Welcome to the sideways parade.Days gone have been replaced by that which is frayed.A ticking time bomb with little remorse.Mounting issues continue to take our world off course. But no one listens enough to invoke change.Am I the only one that thinks this strange?Sometimes it feels like I’m alone.Fighting a tidal war that can’t beContinue reading “Treading Bleak Waters”

Sometimes it is best to lay down and listen.Make no plans or movements as the seconds are ticking.Peace and quiet with only the sounds of birds.Serenity and simplicity forever at work.Allow your mind to wander and stroll down random paths.See where it takes you as you welcome it back.For a brain always thinking does littleContinue reading “Serenity”

Eyes are the gateway to the soul.Its why I can’t stop staring at you.Those big brown eyes make me want to sing.Not once or twice but every second of my being.Some might think that mad or even a tad deranged.But I think its just the right kind of thing.For when something is so good youContinue reading “Taking The Chance”

Minding my own business when in comes the flood.Advertising, force fed, asked for none of it.Desperation to tempt to buy has become paramount.Otherwise our system could collapse like a house of cards. Is it sustainable for us to live this way?Incessant need to buy, sell, buy until nothing does remain.Cause does no one see aContinue reading “Restructure With Change”

Are you still out there searching for solace?If you find it come and tell me of it.For times are changing into what i cannot say.I fear it is straight toward negativity.But to accept defeat, lay down and give in…That to me sounds like a criminal failing.For if it was easy would it be worth doing?Continue reading “Enlightenment Path”
