Creative Writing – Simon A Jackson

Smoothbrain

To be at your peak and yet down at the bottom.Quicker you’re gone the faster you’re forgotten.Not sure how you have gone so long.Luck must have favoured you rotten. Spoilt brat thrashing in place.Take others ideas and run go get all the praise.Cause you are so desperate for a pat on your empty head.Pity youContinue reading “Smoothbrain”

Messiah Of Greed

When things don’t go your way,You flip into a chaotic tendency.Feeling left out in the cold.Synapses snapped from being old.Double down on devastation at a whim.No remorse for anything.Serving pain up on a fake gold platter.How long before the illusion will shatter? Tirade spouted out into a void.Anyone would think you unemployed.Shaking your fist upContinue reading “Messiah Of Greed”

Conquer & Divide

Waging from opposing sides.Brother against detached brother.Sisters scream; ready aim fire!Divide deepening as this chasm grows.Questions lost to this gap.Too many words slung without being heard.Where will devastation lead us to?Crossed a line and refuse to let go.As bodies pile up like hay.Desperate need for ideologies to fade away. Bitter pill lodged in our throat.UponContinue reading “Conquer & Divide”

Darkened Mirror

Staring into the abyss.What glares back is way beyond pissed.Locked away and left to rot.Void is not it’s natural habitat.And no being wishes to be confined.It’s teeth gnash as it threatens to tear flesh from rind.As black slits peer with unblinking violence.It’s words form to amplify deafening silence. Martyrdom is a price to pay.Being ofContinue reading “Darkened Mirror”

Surefire

Spinning round like a top.This cycle doesn’t ever stop.Bored with how it is constant.It’s all become boring content.Deja vu round each ‘new’ turn.No matter the day a lesson is not learned. Will stock even be taken?If I had faith it would be shaken.Instead I grit my teeth and bow my head.Eyes roll at this repetitionContinue reading “Surefire”

Differing Trajectories

Where are you now?In this state of being.Does it seem loud?Or is it what I’m imagining.For it’s been so long.Yet I still don’t recall exactly how much time has passed.And so I open my arms for you to join. No hard feelings,Life takes us where it does.Times are changing.Sometimes for better but others not soContinue reading “Differing Trajectories”

Of Ill Intent

Spin, spin, spin;Can’t take anymore.This dream dies in four.Seconds feel like hours in my mind.Where decency quits in the face of resistance.Not sure what should be pursued with persistence.Remote connection is subverting control. Deep dive below.Feed this beast that won’t go.Sleeping giants refuse to do a deal.These are figments in my midst.Imagination running wild andContinue reading “Of Ill Intent”

On This Old Horizon

Looking for an outcome. What does it take to find coins in the rain?Am I still dreaming cause it feels like nothing will change.Rapture on the front door while venom soaks the grass.Linger in this atmosphere might result in a sea of glass. Gathering in circles as if to pretend tides can speak.Anecdotes and facsimilesContinue reading “On This Old Horizon”

Dark Legacy

You’d eat human flesh just to satiate your hunger.Vile and depraved is your forever state.Using bones to pick teeth filled with young sinew.What lives within is only an abyss that somewhere doesn’t kill you. A dark legacy forged in brutal times.Surrender is only for the weakest of minds. Gathering innocents as if they are cannonContinue reading “Dark Legacy”

Make Heavens Hear

Choose joy over madness.Don’t give in to sadness.Spark a fire in your heart.Grin and do your part.Ignore harsh warnings for they neuter your soul.Grab your future with both hands abd never let me! Some will try to cage you, because they broke themselves.Others will try to enrage in the face of their own cowardice.But youContinue reading “Make Heavens Hear”
