“Only you can run. They stay with me forever. This is the price you pay for dancing with the Devil. Every action has a consequence and this is yours. Say your farewells. You will never see them again. Now run away. Or I’ll keep you too.” Hell’s not too bad. I’ve been here for overContinue reading “Hell’s Companion”

Opiate Promises
Opium and ink spilled by her feet as she stared at the apparition by the window. There, hovering like a firefly, a spectre danced on the breeze. The window flew open and allowed its enchanting melody to enter the room as it came closer. “I have come for you youngling. Come away with me; comeContinue reading “Opiate Promises”
Overlords
The people want to fix what is wrong but are scared of what they will do to them. The common man is scared of power; they will never take it for fear of what will happen if they do. The population is filled with feeble willed peasants who do not have the strength to standContinue reading “Overlords”
A Mother’s Canvas
The inkblot dried up into the paper and she watched the colours change. Blue. Black. Red. The crying was growing louder but she couldn’t help. She had to do this. She had no choice. Grey. Green. Orange. The colours blended and swirled, the paint’s fragrance filling the room. Tears streaming and her mind swimming, sheContinue reading “A Mother’s Canvas”
Little Bird
Little bird – you sit there and watch me, day and night. Each day I test my little theory that you’re there to watch only me. Pacing across the room, to and fro; others do the same without prompt. Your tiny black eyes follow me alone, ignoring the rest. I’ve read about similar thingsContinue reading “Little Bird”
Who am I
I am in beauty I am in song I am the voice in your heart; The invisible hand, helping you to stand I am the wind I am the water I pull the leaves off the trees; But I fuel their rebirth, help them grow I am in dance I am in laughter I amContinue reading “Who am I”
Lifeline
I held onto you Clutched onto you Hand in hand The wind it took you You floated away from me I lost my grip You reached back for me I reached out for you Fingers touched Grasping tighter now Fighting nature’s cruelty Intertwined Locked together tight We watched the passing storm Tying our lifelines
The King Sleeps
He was asleep. It happened so suddenly and it didn’t seem like him waking would ever occur. So there he sat. And there he slept. As the world turned and wars surged, he slept. He slept through the births and deaths of legendary heroes, artists, scientists. He missed the rise and fall of many aContinue reading “The King Sleeps”
Limbo
There is a man on the road. He is running. Is he being chased? I don’t know. But he keeps running. Running like his life depends on it. Running fast. I don’t know why that man is running. He looks scared. Very scared. There’s something following him. Something big. Something scary. I’m safe inside. ButContinue reading “Limbo”
Lies
The room is spinning and I can’t see straight. What is happening to me? The world no longer makes sense and everything I thought was right is a mistake. Left is right Up is down Dark is good Light is bad Was it true? Was everything this man wanted me to believe a truth? OrContinue reading “Lies”
