The Trickster
The die is cast fate has been set. The bell shall toll, for the cost has been met. Chaos will spread, and all its sting shall feel. As the Trickster comes all shall kneel. Freed from chains forged by hate. Revenge shall be what he seeks, what he shall take. Bitter Agony Dreadful calamity. These Continue reading

The Wolf
Howling, snapping, cursing at fate. Fetters hold tight the beast full of hate. Trembling in anger at a truck seen to late. Soon he will be free, all will shudder and shake. Roaring in agony he strains against the bonds, Twisting and snapping, they Frau and pop. Soon broken they must be, For it is Continue reading

Screen addiction
Look at the screen as you wake up. Get in the loop, see what you’ve missed. It’s become a problem, one we all have. It started out good, but now it’s so bad. The phone in the hand. The screen in your face. We miss out on life, it can be such a disgrace. We Continue reading

Shadows
It creeps through the shadows drawing us near. Seeking to hold us closer, it’s touch will sear. It fills us with triumphant joy, But to it, we are naught but a toy. We seek the darkness, long for its embrace. Yet when we get it, too late, we’ve made a mistake. There is no going Continue reading

Believe
What to believe? What is the truth? Is this or that? Let’s have a look. We are raised with the beliefs of others, Things learned young from fathers or mothers. We do not question them, never ask why. Instead we go along, with it as truth, never a lie. Bigotry and hate are often ignored. Continue reading

Illness
Illness creeps through the soul, Which way will it go? Will it pass without a thought, Or will weakness inevitably be wrought? It creeps up silent, takes us unaware, It pounces without mercy, with no care. Weak and trembling. Feverish and unending, There is no telling the path it takes Continue reading

Consumed
It will take us, it will shred us. It will use us up, if we let it. This world that we call our home. This place we roam, always alone. It drives us mad with its demands, Driving us on, towards the summer lands. Can we stop it? I think not. We found out too Continue reading

Sanity
Sanity departs in unexpected times. When things happen that can break your mind. We block out it, hide from the sight. As inside it grows, a festering blight. It eats at up, seeking every chance, To take out bodies, in a cruel dance. It echoes through the heart and soul. Waiting to send us into Continue reading

Better
They say it always gets better in the end. Yet I must ask a simple question, when? When do the feelings of heart ache ease. When is the pain inside at peace? When do I wake up without this bitter longing? Or without the loneliness I find so appalling? Is it when the tears no Continue reading

Thoughts
Forlorn thoughts drift through the mist. Each one wields a desperate wish. Plaguing the mind with creeping doubts Making one wish to scream and shout. There is no one to help in the tying times. We simply buckle down and pretend to be fine. Yet we are not, far from it inside. The place where Continue reading
About Me
A Simple man who dreams of being an Author one day. A lover of poems and stories of all types. A dreamer and a tale weaver in my spare time. What little I have as a father of three. Come sit by the fire, and let me spin my tales, let me speak my rhymes, and show you, a quite good time.
