Wrapped in the cloth of deception.Is this what we dare to call inception?Doesn’t quite meet the grade.Might just be where we all wither and fade. Pick at the scab and hope limits will be overcome.To tread here feels like being blind, deaf and dumb.Let our hearts beat without threat of imprisoning. Bathed in salts andContinue reading “Caged Hearts”

Cheered On
Push the pin and remember your goal;It lies out beyond the synthetic shoal.Future draped in finery and fun.To get there you have to overcome;Fight against the tyranny of normal,Everything has become so formal,Plotted out with permanence and rigidity,It all looks and feels like stupidity.But that does not mean you must adhere.Just be aware you willContinue reading “Cheered On”
UnWar
Not really sure how to explain this one. So I’m not going to. I know counter-intuitive but hey, it is what it is. What I will say is its a fantasy sort of tale and may not go how you expect it to. Not saying anymore than that, but I guess I did kind ofContinue reading “UnWar”
Our New Dawn
Hearing the crack of the whip,Feels like I might soon slip.Never forget from where you came.Some will make every day a game. Rejection is but a piece in the puzzle.There are some in need of a muzzle.For they wish ill upon the masses.Believing they deserve free passes.Pilfer and propser under a banner.Title best suiting wouldContinue reading “Our New Dawn”
Accepting
I lied and I have no excuse.Won’t force you to look for proof.I admit it now right to your face.I am the coward lost in space.So do your worst; I am accepting.No point in me rejecting.The axe is ready to fall.I am the villain in this call.Judgement is fair but tough.No excuses about it beingContinue reading “Accepting”
Vent Contemporary
I took the root out from the ground.Thought this might be the way to sound,Like an enemy not ready for the war.Tired of mounting revenge against the sore. I just want a way to vent contemporary! Linger in the faults of the vision.Too little too late is the decision.Sections missing from the puzzle.Mind filled withContinue reading “Vent Contemporary”
Born For Battle
Aim, I scream, you fire!Deep within is our desire.Joined from three minutes in.We are the devil/angel twin.Trauma to the head of pain.Disillusion won’t come round again.Promise carved into the bark.One that sat alone in the park.Upon the hill where we’d play.Those days seem so far away.Yet so little has changed.Unlike others we are not estranged.WeContinue reading “Born For Battle”
Illusionary
Getting right into it, the title should hint at potentially what might be going on in this story. Because of that I’m not going to say too much about it. Truthfully, I don’t even suggest when it is set. Be interested to see what you the readers believe is its setting. Anyway, enough from me,Continue reading “Illusionary”
Blue Rose
Petals of azure.Have to say still not sure.A spring in the step.Placing your bet.Thorns on the shaft.Moments being daft.Hue of lime green.I’m feeling mean.Stab through the skin.Calling it a win. Soon it will wilt.Months filled with guilt.End of an era.Never been clearer.Loss of the leaves.Stolen by thieves.Dance on the wind.Obsessed ’til sinned.Withering away.Natures finality.
Manipulation
So frequent are the claims that I don’t belong.I’ve started to hear it in every birds sweet song.A ripple deep inside that’s beginning to shift.Once it blooms it’ll be the worst kind of gift. But you won’t back down,And can’t seem to quit;Each day I’m becoming more sickened by it. Exclusion for reasons never quiteContinue reading “Manipulation”
