Worm your way in through the open doorWhat once stood is not here anymoreSeperated forms of something that used to beOne and one is two and neither of us are freeSo diverge along the standard lineSick of hearing the words: are you feeling fine?Talk is cheap and so are theyPhilosophy at the end of theContinue reading “Duo”

Twist It In
A stab to the backNot giving you the slackWeaved a lie filled webTrying to make us deadBut the cries will not failOur hopes will prevailNow stop all the hateVictim of a mateYou were the monsterBeast with no honourStriking at the heartMaking it turn darkIce in the veinsKilling off the brainsCorpse to a shellCondemned to hellSoldierContinue reading “Twist It In”
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”

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”
