Foretelling

Riding along the walls of goldFrom the market that turned coldThe night air is setting inAnd the voices are lost to oblivion Wings of white seem so greyWith rusty nails screaming decayBut none of this can be realIf it is then I surrender to deal Now the snow is knee deepMy horse is lost inContinue reading “Foretelling”

Rift

Surrounded by a sea of fireManifestation of your desireSeen the brave try and get closeManaged only to become toastBurned right down into ashFrom that there is no way backBut not your doing I will sayYour brilliance was too much to pay Stranded on an empty shoreLoneliness you feel so much moreLike being put up onContinue reading “Rift”

Monotony Is Monotone

Hi! Hope you all are well. This Wednesday, as is normal, I have a new story (it’s about 8,200 words). It’s a Sci-Fi story, eventually, but was not written like one. Usually, I know a story is Sci-Fi whereas this one I had to think on its categorisation. Don’t want to spoil anything but theContinue reading “Monotony Is Monotone”

Not A Cheer From Me

I signed that decreeI signed life awayI signed it todayHoorayNow sing with me Slip down the road that you claim is a prizeThe name is wrong so you may wish to realisePick a new choice that won’t end the sameRemember now what is said is not a gameSo when you foam at the mouth itsContinue reading “Not A Cheer From Me”

Murky

I see the lies in the mirror that I want to believeI’ll ignore the reality just to fund the easeCause when all is said and done and I’m throughNo part of me wants to be like any of you I look for a new bridge to link to the landInstead all I see is howContinue reading “Murky”

One Minute Remains

Exposure is not the wayViolence is just heresyYou built us up to tear us downSo proud of how you scream aloudWith all the pain you dole each dayPiling up the miseryWhat a life you chose to leadRather be dead than a part of your breed Extinction is what will comeNothing can stop that gunIt willContinue reading “One Minute Remains”

Turned To Blue

I thought it was overHow wrong could I be?Counted to three then walked awayShould have known it wasn’t so easy Petrified ’til I turned blueWhat is this cause it’s not youPut a hand on the wheelTook a look in the rearviewWhat I see still is the silhouette of two Both made mistakes and owned upTruthContinue reading “Turned To Blue”

Predatory Jungle Law

Hi! This week’s story isn’t Sci-Fi (I know shocking!). I guess you would call it fantasy. A lot isn’t explained (rather some things are inferred) but seeing as the most advanced thing in the entire story is a sewer, I know for a fact it isn’t Sci-Fi. Anyway, there isn’t much else to say aboutContinue reading “Predatory Jungle Law”

Serpent Messiah

Rooted rot from the forgotten treeWhat comes here is only entropyBoiled down to your waisted formFearful of divinities scornWith a head upon the chopping blockIdeas to which they funnel the flockBut wait here long enough and the mask will slipBelow is the reality of it Serpent messiahNo route to reach higherSnake and a liarWords sangContinue reading “Serpent Messiah”

You Have It In You

Watching as the world goes byOne eye dwelling on the skyAs rain does fall and makes a splashThe pitter-patter of the crashWith no sun to brighten upThis day is grey and full of muckBut still the surface is so prettyJust have to look past the nitty-grittyNot that it should be so hardAll of us canContinue reading “You Have It In You”
