Just when you feel you've battled your demons out of existence, think again. They wait, so calmly and quietly, for when you rest in bed. When you lie down, close your eyes and drift off to oblivion; they creep into your head. Sucking away dreams of tomorrow, stealing precious energy for thought, and leaving a … Continue reading Sleep Tight (Poem)
A short moment and an even quicker smile. I am yours. You speak and I can't hear, this attraction is so strong, it fumbles the words in my ears. I say something stupid, so dumb, but you don't mind. This is love. Us, we, our; a brand new language to use. New and wonderfully exclusive. … Continue reading Glances (Poem)
Last night didn't prove to be especially romantic for me. We spent a crazy amount of time just breaking into, and clearing houses that were already stripped bare of food. Not to mention, at an especially thick area of the canyon, during the beginning of our trip, I was forced to knife a teen-plaguer who surprised me by jumping out from a hollowed … Continue reading Just Another Apocalypse Diary Day 15 (Short Story Series)
I warned her... My sister, I mean. Sarah was always too interested in the Great Above and Abovers in general. I told her that you couldn't trust those vicious creatures that hunt our waters with one hand and poison it with the another. A few tides ago we found an Above creature in our kelp … Continue reading A Mermaid’s Forbidden Love (Flash Fiction)
This pen I chase is an evil saint, ducking and running while I flounder in guilt; blank. Only when I surrender hope of inspired genius does it tempt and slide right into my hand; words flow easily, mistakenly unending. Emotion runs dry and it rolls away disinterested; callous with my fragile confidence. I await the … Continue reading Unstable Inspiration (Poem)
I'm Finn. A clothes moth, like any other. Just hanging out in my closet after nibbling last seasons wool scarf. The only difference with me is, I want out. I need to explore this world, have some crazy tree sex with an oak moth or fight a giant Mexican moth and lose some dust. Life … Continue reading Closeted Moth (Tiny Story)
My eyes slide shut and follow the dancing colorful shapes as consciousness floats into the reality of dreams. Instantly aware of the hissing silence and nothingness. I create and am rewarded. Trembles begin along the edges of the dark space that caresses my skin. A fingertip drags across my lips; so lightly, tingling. From behind … Continue reading Self Serving Lucidity (Poem)
Spring breaks free. Pouring her love and strength into the world when desolate cold has a grip that strangles and kills. She who births the world and makes the days stretch long also awakens and transforms life anew. She brings happiness and warmth to the spirit of the world with flowers and babies. Green is … Continue reading Arrival (Poem)
I never knew of the beauty that can live in a single simple voice. I weep as it echoes through me, strumming a chord kept hidden. You tempt this small, frightened piece of my soul to stand, to reach out, to dance. Eagerly my heart awaited this pure, loving song you sing only for me; … Continue reading Then you. (Poem)
I am in love. The man made me pancakes and powdered eggs for breakfast this morning. I haven't been pampered like that for almost a year. It reminds me that it's been almost a year for a lot of things. To be truthful, Ian actually made the big breakfast for Bob but I suppose his … Continue reading Just Another Apocalypse Diary Day 14(Short Story Series)
