Beyond Fatigue

Body heavy mind light, sleeping anytime but not at night. Beyond the fatigue my body goes, no sleep will make it go, hard to move feel so low, where is my get up and go. When will this melee pass? I don’t know it’s becoming a farce laying here waiting for it to go Beyond … Continue reading Beyond Fatigue

Space 

In the outer depths of space no one can see your face as you race to get back to the place you call home.  In the glow of tomorrow no one knows where you will go. Can any one hear you scream as you sit facing a dead screen. Something is pulling you through the … Continue reading Space

My Brew

Hand grips the wooden handle. Other angles the glass under the brass spout in anticipation of the nectar that will flow out. Arm pulls down to release the brew then lifts to pull a new. The froth Wells up as it hits the bottom of the glass and then through its self will pass. White … Continue reading My Brew

Apache

A big wind fills the sky dropping out of the storms eye, dust cloud to shroud, ready to deploy its lethal crowd. Down goes the ramp to start the decamp, thirty men fresh out of camp. Out they go to and froe; left and right into the night covering the arcs in case of a … Continue reading Apache

Vertigo 

That sensation of falling sends you sprawling, head spinning cold sweat, floor met. Staggering , bouncing off the walls, walking down the hall. Shut your eyes hoping it subsides. Sit up quick before you are sick, call out grab me quick I’m falling. Fullness in the ears this could last for years. Empty shell living … Continue reading Vertigo

Subclass 

Media tells us you sit around all day on your ass lambasted cos you are a subclass. No real value no real worth why were you put on this earth. You don’t work you are seen as a jerk no right to live to be, to survive seen as a skive why are you alive.  … Continue reading Subclass

Paradise 

There is a cold wind blowing across the sand as we walk hand in hand, bare foot on cold sand. It’s been some time since we have been on land. The chill outweighs the thrill as we hear the trill of the birds. Not talking just walking on this paradise island, a canopy of Green … Continue reading Paradise

Nirvana

Why was I put upon this earth? Should I be a noble man or a serf? What will I have done when I leave this earth? Will I have loved or caused mayhem and myrrh? Perhaps I will be rich and famous or be found in a ditch. Maybe, I will marry a princess who … Continue reading Nirvana

This World

In the cold dawn of light, in this world full of hate and spite where no one knows who is wrong and who is right. In this world of fantasy and flight where everyone is on a ladder trying to reach a great height where all the world comes into sight and little children no … Continue reading This World

The Comment

Every time I hear that comment it rips into my heart and every time you say it again it tears my soul apart. I am not good at many things in total or in part, I’ve tried it all from chemistry to art. But all the time you undermine and cut into my mind. I … Continue reading The Comment
