Days Are Long

I’m not listening anymore.I don’t care if I’m a bore.Let me dwell and be happy.Stop trying to always be so crappy.I get that you don’t like the same.That you just wish to play a game.But to me this life is not so easy.Why I have to absorb it freely. Unmitigated by your hand of God.Don’tContinue reading “Days Are Long”

In A Rut

Cage surrounds and controls.Landing me with a role.Position locked to a spot.Siphons until its all I got.That’s not a life for me.Sounds more like insanity.Picking at me like a scab.Want to feel something and grab.Mould it with my fists.Not be enraged by it.Cause who wants to be angry?I’d do away with it gladly.So simply handContinue reading “In A Rut”

Dying Nights

This weeks story is a bit different. It’s not Sci-Fi. Not at all. I’d call it fantasy. Set in the modern day. Anyway, I didn’t realise it until reviewing but this story has some definite influences from Dead Space and Devil May Cry. I could say more. Give more detail, but I’m not going to.Continue reading “Dying Nights”

Acknowledge/Admit

I hit the wall yet again today.Wish the feeling would just go away.Tired of getting this wave washing over me.Its so strong I think I might fail to see,Past the shroud thats over my face.No body for me to embrace.Just a single soul in an empty zone,Which is why all I want to do isContinue reading “Acknowledge/Admit”

Savour And Flee

Your purple craze won’t fix this situation.Gaze upon the rifts of honest rejection.Lie amongst the tallest grasses.Batting of your long dark lashes.Eyes so bright they shine like beacons.Blue as the sky no matter the seasons. But this is not meant to be.I am cast so far away.Savour this and flee from me.This is how it’llContinue reading “Savour And Flee”

BSTR

Burn it down.Disaster is on the other side of the gate.Chains are heavy so give me a break.The answers not much like the question.That is why I drift among obsession.Searching for a point in time.Waiting for the second rhyme.Where day joins with chilly night.Retrospect might as well take flight.Because when I am here there isContinue reading “BSTR”

Stars And Clovers

I made a wish on a falling star.Don’t know when or if I’ll get that far.Cause there’s no way of knowing,If your words will be chosen.So you have to keep going.But not fixate on words spoken. Talons on the window pane.Rap, rap, rap comes again.Someone is at the door.Friend or foe cannot ignore. I criedContinue reading “Stars And Clovers”

3R

As is often the case while writing, for me at least, this story changed a bit between when I had the idea and it being written. For starters I went back and forth on the opening. At one time it was going to start halfway through the first section, then at the second until finallyContinue reading “3R”

No More

Surrender, surrender.Don’t wish to contend her.I’m a survivor.Simply wish to thrive here.Newer and fewer.We bow to our ruler.Possess and suppress.Not a path to bless.Inspire and fly higher.Cast out the final liar. Here in the back of a very open field,We build these monuments to yield.Beg to the gods who bore us fruit,The first of whichContinue reading “No More”

Seeking Peace

I took a risk on marching out to the lake.Needed some time so I could just break.Gather myself among the water and trees.Taste the pollen as it floats on the breeze. But all I found were empty zones in my head.Shallow and echoing it was strange to admit.I don’t know how it got to thatContinue reading “Seeking Peace”
