Building A Prison

This is not a homeSo just leave me aloneI need a place to dwellMight as well be hellStrung out from the nightDevoid of any fightJust a scream inside my headIt keeps me from my bedWalls that never quitAll they do is spitVicious lies about my mindForgotten what it’s like to be kindNow let me weaveContinue reading “Building A Prison”

Pick The Bones

We bore witness to the digital ageIt came too late for us to saveRuptured and in the grips of endless swellThere will be no tolling of the bell Carrion crows circle overheadNo place left where we can bedSurface bleached to deathly whiteNone of this will ever be right Choices are what we tried to makeEveryContinue reading “Pick The Bones”

Breaks And Bodies

Hi Everyone! To be honest I’m not sure what to call this story. It’s not really horror though it does have elements of it. Easiest way I can put it is that it is about a grandfather telling his grandchildren a story. I’m saying nothing more than that, other than its about 11,200 words longContinue reading “Breaks And Bodies”

Try It

Forgive and forgetOnly some of us can do it Pain is easier held to the chestEven if it’s not for the bestTrait that we all shareNone of us lack an ability to care Forgive and forgetOnly some of us can do it Revenge is a dish we craveDoesn’t mean that we are braveJust fixated onContinue reading “Try It”

Descending

Passing on the seldom sunOne filled with opposite funStranded with a filthy glowChaos is what will showStuck in the desert sandWith only the constant landJoking with the blasted rockNot sure if I’ve come unstuckVisions of a safe havenIs this my brain getting even?Tricks wrapped in memoriesNot sure if its real or make believeRaised hand toContinue reading “Descending”

Axis

Idyllic temperate mysteryWoven along the time to beCorrupted glare to the bendLeaving it up to pretendWith a handful of seedNothing will build a new breedDisease has lit the eternal flameBeginning of the latest gameA descent into the deepest darkPeriod of how to miss the markOpting for a steep declineClaiming everything is finePit of thorns bathedContinue reading “Axis”

Haiku 2

Wrote these about a year ago (after playing Ghost Of Tsushima, which is a fantastic game by the way). Decided I’d post them because why not. When you are at warHonour is a privilegeSurvival is not Watch the river flowDown to that place you would goNever been there though Life is like a clockNever doesContinue reading “Haiku 2”

Evicted

OK then. This week is a Sci-Fi story. Idea came to me and I liked how it turned out. You may or may not be able to guess where this story is going, I don’t know. I’m not going to say too much on it other than this world is very broken. I essentially tookContinue reading “Evicted”

Material

Why are we still on the wheel?It gives us no time to feelOne false move and you tripAfter that it’s difficult to gripSo why don’t we just pauseTake a moment to review the clauseCause none of us signed a contractThat is nothing but a fact Convinced ourselves we need moreWhat a drastic kind of flawAsContinue reading “Material”

Not Meant To Be

You say oneI’ll say twoBut if say threeI’ll simply fleeCause this is not the happy hallsRuptures have forged the fallsBlowing at the static spiresThe ones from which you conspiredInformation overloadSearching for another modeUniform state of pauseThis has began the causeOf warring over empty wordsNeither of us will be heardGuilt across every laneA duo wrapped inContinue reading “Not Meant To Be”
