Light tries to tumble through my windowBut it only hits the glassAnd bounces back into summer.Curled up on my bed,Huddled under the blanketTo hide the cuts and ribboned pain,I see it throw itselfAgain and again,Hurling itself with rumbunctious abandonTo slap me in the face and throw me to the ground.Meaningless.The light cannot touch me now.Night jasmine is sweet and beautifulAnd scents the air with delicious perfume.It h...
Shadows slide in this midnight mist,Where the whispers embrace meAnd tendrils of moonlightPlay with my hair.Sleep, cold and heavy,Presses on my heart,And its fingers close my eyelidsAs I wait for the ferryman.A metal tang in the ozone airTeases my tongueAs if I taste the blood fromThe lip that I keep biting.Too tired to wander,Too distraught to sleep,Here roll the tears of the century pastDown my salt-dried cheeks.I long...
Mirror mirror on the wall.Why is it the good must fall?Does this world demand sacrifice?Only from those with secret sins and vice.This world its choices are not to clear.Everyone can play this little game my dear.Longing for a ray of hope.All I see is the hangman’s rope.Good or evil all will fall.The grave my love welcomes them all.Short and to the point, like most of our lives.
There is too much pain growing redwoodsThrough this ugly body of blubber.The world has become a teeming massOf claw-covered, razor-toothed monsters,Chasing what is left in the void.Friends have become knife-wielding enemiesAnd change into spectral whispers,Laughing as they swipeAnd crush any fingertip of vulnerabilityLeft forgotten,Open and surrounded asThe main gates are barred in terror.Gifts become sinister,Smiles are...
When you were bornI was conceived. You live in the lightI am the blackness.In your most joyous momentsI still lurk.You may forget me,I have not forgotten you.Do what you can to delayI march to meet you.Choose your religionI am part them all.Deny your fearI feast upon it.You feel me closeThe END in near.No matter what we do it is always around the corner.

I tried to write this as a standalone story, but it's a continuance of characters from “Blood Sacrifice” if you're confused The couple sitting at the corner table in the coffee house received a curious glance now and then from the other patrons. They wondered why such a beautiful young lady was so engrossed with what the dignified looking, older man was disclosing to her. If they had known they may have run screaming in t...
I’ve lived a very hard life with some easy roads mixed between it. I remember being yelled at by family for telling jokes at a funeral, but I couldn’t help but wonder if the person who died honestly would want all the sobbing and drama to replace the happiness they put in life. I’ve always been viewed as hard and cold, detached even when it comes to death. Or perhaps I just understood it better than religious zealots who...
I sat there looking in his eyes. They focused then looked away, What is happening...why can't you stay? It's not fair and I don't care. I'll be selfish, I want you here. My eyes blink and fill with tears. I hear these idiots in the background. I refuse to turn around. He keeps my gaze and I return it. These last minutes with him I won't forfeit. Find your savior, get your peace...I hear. I say to him...Don't worry, you h...
Death. This has been a year of it. Between people that I know and people that I don’t and the deaths of relationships, it’s just too hard to take sometimes. Today (4th October 2012) is the fourteenth anniversary of my gran’s death. I visited her grave today with my mum and laid flowers. We couldn’t stay long because my brother had taken ill at school, but we did lay some flowers and say hello. It’s funny, isn’t it? We sti...

I notice you standing on the corner, looking lost. As I make my way over to you, I notice your sparkling blue eyes on the verge of tears. "Are you okay?" You look at me, and the tears escape. "I'm all alone." I stop fully and whisper back, “No, you're not.” I can see the fear and uncertainty on your face and in your eyes. I take your hand and say, "Come, walk with me, tell me what's wrong." You say nothing at first. We j...
Of weariness set within her bones She arises before dawn of break Gazing upon shimmering nights moon Reflecting glow alighting her view Night sounds blend come of whispered callings Upon soft winds pulling at her to come Her heart quickens she hurries along dirt path Coming to rest upon its dew drenched edging Within nights moon of shimmers they dance Twisting turning calling to her come join them She dances her heart of...
The Day Our Innocence Died By midnightraider61 Based on the song “American Pie” by Don McLean “The Day the Music Died” was February 3, 1959, the day Buddy Holly’s plane went down in a corn field.
