Rain hammered against the window, angry. Like it had a vendetta against the Weatherspoons I was hiding in the corner of. I’ve always preferred the corner seats, probably because they usually have a sofa - they also have the advantage of being an excellent vantage for people watching (one of the only benefits of being surrounded by people).

Sat there, I found myself dreading the inevitable ride ho...

The pull is undeniable

It’s like a magnet

The end is inevitable

I will open the packet

And eat the chocolate...

Leaning against the window frame,

They jumped out swiftly,

Becoming one with the night

The black clothing and mask coated them;

Intimidating and ominous.

Providing the means to be anonymous

A helpful warning to stay away,

Like how a tree frog sports bright colours

To alert potential predators

And avoid slaughter

The only difference:

This was the predator

Waiting until nightfall to pounce

Lik...

Icy blue eyes delve into mine

Crystalline spikes shine

Pure white teeth glinting

Arched eyebrows never flinching

Frostbitten smirk

Evil tint

Then the sun peeked through

Melting his heart

Until finally

The chill stopped...

Don’t turn the light off

I need my night light

The bright stars help me

Sleep through the night

Singing songs of youth

Don’t turn the light off

My heart aches to see

I want someone to love me

I need the light to see

Singing songs of adolescence

Don’t turn the light off

Then I can’t find my glasses

They hide away from me

Then the night passes

Singing songs of lost time

Don’t turn the light of...

Your fearful eyes

Reflected at me

Sharp dark blade

You feel threatened

I own something

Something that’s yours

Your secret

My ammunition

But now my death is near

Feeling your breath on my face

Your eyes are the last I see

Before I descend to the grave

But one thing you forgot

Something you overlooked

Killing me isn’t enough

Even the dead tell stories...

Pale hazel haunting

Shadow behind my eyes

Always there, lurking

A simple compromise

Soft whispers echo

Distracting me too

Showing me the window

Back to you

Should I travel

Ghosts I follow

Story yet to unravel

Empty and hollow

Now you chase me

Silently amongst stones

It’s you I can’t see

Hiding behind their bones

Should I choose this

Or let you go?

Stay for a last kiss….

Or free the crow?...

Mouth parched

Licking my cracked lips

With a tongue roughed

Toxic relationships

So thirsty for knowledge

Knowing everything

Everyone acknowledge

You are worshiping

Superiority in knowing

Intelligence and wisdom

Need possessing

Corrupted system

I am in the know

But that’s not always

Worth the show

Worth the praise

Eating me up inside

Secrets, stories

Absorbed wide-eyed

Foreign territories

K...

Blue crystalline eyes, frozen

Pale skin, blue veins

Wild blue hair, inverse icicles

Fearless

Shameless

Heartless…

…not quite

Blue radiates from his navy chest

Frozen valves, atriums, ventricles

Cold heart...

Jolting vibrations rattle my bones

A train’s horn, siren’s song

An urban cacophony synchronises

Harmonies the enemy of peace

I crave the silence, a lust within me

An ache that will not cease

Because I live next to a bloody train line!!...
