His eyes closed tightly, and slowly reopened. Every person present had their silent and unwavering attention on him. He flinched ever so slightly at the sound of a chair squeeking on the shiny cherry wood floor. He gulped, but his throat was so dry he couldnt finish the swallow. He could feel the faintest breeze above his collar, and savoured the sensation. Cooling. Calming.

He slowly reopened h...

It not so hard to believe. I mean it was all a rush towards our end right? And here I thought I stood on the moral "high ground". You know, the problem about thinking you are on "high ground" all depends on your perspective. In northern Georgia the high ground happens to be 4,784 feet above sea level... However, in Florida 345 feet is the highest point and hundreds of "hikers" head there for the p...

In Threes

Crown Of Seventy Thorns

This poem is inspired by lyrics from the song “In Threes” by Kim Dracula! ❤️

Look at the world,

It’s been twisted and twirled,

And all of the people in it

Are the same,

So give us a twirl,

Join us as we swirl

Down into despair

With no means of repair.

I’ll show you

My animal instinct,

You should have it too,

It’s how you survive

When the world’s gone to shit.

Now we’ve got a ritual invitati...

Silent Screams

The silent screams of prisoners

Banging to be free

Silent screams were never heard

never meant to be

Imagine a fear so powerful

So heavy you could die

Is what the silent screams had been

For the prisoners who never cry

Silent screams never heard

Never a call to arms

Is what the prisoners had never said

The blessed or the harmed

So next time you feel the fear

And think it was so bad

Remember si...

Laughing With Ghosts

Vaness Fryle

There’s a comedy show that is my life

I know for sure

As I slip on damn air

Fall on my ass

Then the breeze whooshes past me

Failure is something I am accustomed to

Success is far

Still with every mistake

I gotta laugh

Even if I’m the only one

Or not

Maybe there’s ghosts who laughs along as I proceed to tear a whole in my workout pants in my attempt to squat

Stutter as I’m hypnotized by my crush...

Who I See

Five months, five months is what it took, to get here today. To stand before the man who turned my home town, Oldale upside down. A fellow gunslinger, my teacher, before I started teaching. The man who showed me how to demonstrate to my students. The man who showed me how to incapacitate an opponent before they could even turn around. The man who told me to ALWAYS, solidify the kill. Nobody would ...

The smell of gasoline and burnt rubber seeped through the windows. The glow of the street light bright in my eyes. A rush of energy through the passenger side window. A sudden silence. A tractor-trailer speeding through the intersection. I see the first car suspended in the air. A taxi with its taxi sign floating in front of me as limbs and torsos fly. Bodies ejected from the taxi as if gravity di...

The Good and Bad

“So you’re saying that if I were arrested for armed robbery, I would be a bad person?”

“No I’m saying when the only things we know about someone are the bad, we assume they are bad as a whole. That’s how identities like ‘criminal’ are created. Societally, someone who has committed a crime is a criminal, and someone who is a criminal is a bad person.”

“Okay…so what if during my armed robber I wat...

Once Flowers Bloom

Laughter is fun

Until its all you hear

A smile is beautiful

Until its plastered on

A hug is a relief

Until your stabbed in the back

So dont get to close

I dont trust you

I cant trust anyone

Not again

Because once i do

Once i look for your smile

And wait for your laugh

Once i wish for your hugs

Thats when it ends

Because once the flowers bloom

We'll be doomed...

The Hurricane

Gusting winds mighty

Rain is pouring down far

Flooding the beaches away

Storm so powerful swirling

The might of the gods is threatening

The hurricane is the mightiest storm...
