The Beauty Of Being Asleep

Aisla Faulkner

1 min read

The tears that kept on shedding have to place

In this wonderland that is as delicate as lace

And meandering like the forests of your childhood

And all the trees were protective, and safe, and good.


The nerves of the waking hour will be hindered

All doubts and poor revelations will all be cindered

Come under the willow tree that will you protection

And doze and bask whilst receiving some restorati...

In an Endless Sea

Aisla Faulkner

1 min read

Water is lapping between your chin and neck, each wave colliding to the beat of your heart. The salt tastes fresh on your tongue and your mind is deliciously blank for the first time of its life. Floating away to the sea doesn't seem to be a bad idea and you can get away from the noises from the land. All the blaring of the cars; all the slamming of doors; all the shouting at you. Gone. Gone away....

Invitation to just an Afternoon Tea

Aisla Faulkner

3 min read

I was not too sure what I was expecting when my bedroom floor opened up and suddenly the God of the Underworld and Cerberus burst forth. It was startling, for sure, but it was also quite amusing and there were moments where I had to stifle my laughter. There, Hades sitting on my Totoro beanie on the floor, and Cerberus painfully squashed, using a free paw to play lightly with my ball which I had r...

Footprints on The Moon

Aisla Faulkner

1 min read

The day of reckoning came. Incomprehensible in the beginning but when we have looked back, we should have seen this coming. We should had been made sure that this would be coming. Chief scientists and our leaders alike should have not underestimated them. The news reel should have not made fun of them. But alas, we did, and they have started to desecrated our land like footprints on their moon and...

Whirlpool

1 min read

Life could be fantastic, terrifying, and just plain strange at the same time. About sixty-five percent of the time, you would not know what to do with it. A hundred percent of the time, there was something about it that you would regret.


It all happened one day when you are whittling away castles, forests, and places far away that no one could ever imagined with your trusted pen and ripped out...

Disco Lights

Aisla Faulkner

2 min read

Charlie started her day wiggling her shoulders since morning, hopping off her bed and down the stairs to a disco music in her head. She even came up with moves, moonwalking into the kitchen with a spin in the end. She couldn’t comprehend it herself with her being normally a drab, boring, office worker from a similarly drab business company for photocopiers. But there she was, hip-thrusting and han...

Illusion

Aisla Faulkner

1 min read

Enticing as red lips,

Like heaven upon fingertips,

You are a goddess,

Never settling for anything less.

And you see stars like a kaleidoscope,

Singing back their lullabies, you hope.


But you suddenly crash,

And you hear the door crash,

The illusion fades and you cry,

You’re rock-bottom and you want to fly.

Just one more time and this will be the last

It hurts but you need heaven fast.

The Den

Aisla Faulkner

2 min read

Four walls, white, and with a stale air that even the most sterilised of hospitals would envy. There were only beds with their bedside tables full of nothing, and seven living souls - young ones - sleeping in them. It should have been a sight that would melt the hardest of hearts. But The Den was a place where hearts were not allowed.

The Meeting

Aisla Faulkner

2 min read

Aesop, the magician and her mentor, never lied.


That was what Cordelia had always thought since she was a babe handed over to him immediately after the Queen had given birth to her. She was not a princess and she had convinced herself that that was fine and that she would grow up unremarkable even with magic singing in her blood. The Queen had already decided this once she had beheaded her hu...
