Men Of Monsters

Chloe J

1 min read

When does the dark change to light

When does the star fall through the sky

How do people live with a lie

Lies like the many stars of the night

Twinkle with a gleaming smirk

A malicious way to speak

How to lie


When does the light dim to dusk

When does a truth turn fake

How does a truth burn false

Is it the men of monsters

The crawling abyss turn truth


Do the stars light the way

When do they...

All The Stars

Chloe J

1 min read

The expanse of the galaxy lay above, its vast expanse blanketed the sky. A vast crowd was gathered all staring up at the sky in awe. The stars smiled upon them, as if they knew humanity would soon join them. A countdown started as a humming filled the air. The large pointed structure began to smoke, an orange glow erupted beneath it. The countdown hit zero. The spacecraft lifted off the ground, ho...

A Dream

Dragons dance across the red sky

Ethereal and gracious… only

The red is the world on fire


Kids in the streets echoing laughter

A ball is kicked around… only

The ball is old and dirty and unmoving

The echos are that of ghosts


A fluffy snow flurries into a winter wonderland

Dots of tracks like animals frolicking… only

The prints are human boot

Trudging through a frozen wasteland

The blood slows...

I Can Count… A Lot

Chloe J

1 min read

If I count all the ways I love you I would never stop

Not that I don’t love you

But I would prefer to spend my days doing something other than counting

I really do love you a lot


If I counted all the ways I love you I would find the end of the infinite system of numbers

It exists I’m sure


If I count all day all night

I’ll probably die before I finish listing them

That wouldn’t do us any go...

Quiet

Be quiet be still

The monster hunts at night


Running jumping tripping

It thunders after

The shadows scape the ground

Clawing at their prey


Quiet be quiet

The monster prowls about

Its eyes deep pits


Be still

Halt breath

The mist will give you away

Your heartbeat will give you away


Can you get away

Crash smack

Run through the woods

The streets

Monsters hunt at night


Be still not

Run until...

Worry

Chloe J

1 min read

I worry

We worry

If we all worry

Is it a worry?


Does it become something more?

Bubbling until the world bursts

It’s not something to worry about

It is a global plague

A worry that shapes around the world

Keeping people in its grip


If no one had worries do they go away

Can you get rid of it

Or does it stay, ignored


Does ignoring a worry dispel it

Will it stay unnoticed but vile

Will it go awa...

Wander

Chloe J

1 min read

I am a wanderer

Different sky’s and stars

The shifting of the earth

I wander


I wonder about the world

Never stopping strides

The moon and sun guide me

The animals greet me

My companions are the shadows


I wander to new places

I wonder about new people

People. New people wander


Do you wonder when you wander

Wander to new places and see

Greeting families


Family?

I wonder

If I wander

Will I ...

One With Earth

Chloe J

As the blood soaked into his chest he knelled down onto the earthy forest floor. His veins, blue and spindly, protruded and took shape raising from his body in a rootlike manner. The earth was not swallowing him whole, he was becoming one with it. Small sprigs of green and branches started to sprout with the wooden root veins.


His hand stayed human like, his arm still shaped like that of a perso...

Knitting

This way that way this…

A messed up loop

Tangled yarn

Start over

Start over


This way that way loop

A single strand of knots

Tiny small and insignificant

Like a row with sharp teeth

Yarn sticking out like thorns


This way that way circle around

A hat?

A scarf?

A useless blob.

So in fact a blanket

Start over start over


That way this was form a line

Smooth without deformity

Twist it knot i...

Struggling To Not Try

White lights flash as Jax walks into, well anywhere, but on this particular day it was a movie premier. Enough security so that the paparazzi were stopped at the door. Jax three months ago was a nobody, just another struggling writer until he caught a break. The Noll Corporation, famous for their movies bought one of his scripts. They even invited him on set to help with the production, which wasn...
