Summer is almost here! Not really sure why I felt like pointing that out. Probably because I can’t really say much about this story without ruining it. I would be interested to know if you saw the ending coming or not. You might. Maybe let me know! The ground beneath Xeria Parduche’s feet rocks violentlyContinue reading “Seventh Cell”

Wrinkles And Ruptures
Not sure where I stand on the line.All that I can say is that I’m feeling fine.Wrinkles and ruptures stain all the skies.Have I put in for one too many tries?It seems like the bark is withered and sharp.The worse it grows the more sings the harp.Yet I refuse to turn and skip off.Or beContinue reading “Wrinkles And Ruptures”
Beauty And Butchery
You look a little too innocent.Might be you’re contrived.Is there honest intent?Maybe you just wish to be prized. I’m not sure and so I stay away.Something doesn’t feel quite right to me. Lashes flutter, sweet brown eyes.Smile seems too prevalent.You’re surrounded by guys.Think I catch a hint of malevolent. I’m not sure and so IContinue reading “Beauty And Butchery”
Caged Hearts
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”
