Fatal Wounds
In The Midst of The Battlefield
Flames roared on either side of him as he ran through what was a forest. Trees that once stood hundreds upon hundreds of feet tall with vibrant red leaves. That tasted of honey now nothing but a shadow of what they once were. The trees are barren and burnt but still holding on as persistent as the dragons to survive.
What livilness there was left proved to be hazardous as their branches snatched at his wings poking at the membrane that held them together. Possibly thinking that he was there to finish them off as he was a fire breather after all and the trees can’t read intent. So they must take everything as a threat.
The worse threat was on the way he could hear the sounds of the metal wings whipping the air in their wake. Unlike the ones on their side who didn’t make a peep. Gliding smoothly through the air like his wings.
No time to dwell on the difference of sounds. If they are coming they must be after him. He’s the last one in the unit that

Five Seconds
Falling Falling. Head over heels. Tumbling. Tumbling. A flash of the tree they used to play in as a kid. Big. Tall. Looming. Falling. Falling.
__________
Shouts ring out. In the castle, smoke fills the air. Gunshots ring clear. Stone foundation crumbling. Red floor. Red walls. Everything’s a blanket of red. The smell of the newly dead rises and rises.
Where is the captain?
Out of all the times to go disappearing there couldn’t be a worse moment than this.
More and more faces flash past Nick’s vision, all scarred. All weary. All frightened. None the captain.
He calls out for him amongst the other sounds of battle. Nothing. More men fall around him.
If he isn’t dead I’m going to kill him.

Four seconds
Birds fly by. Or is he the bird? Crashing through the trees. Yet suspended in air. Drifting, falling, falling. Voices ringing.

The Long Game
Trust
how do you trust
a man you just met
in an alien museum.
Trust
trust can easily be misplaced
when selfishness
takes the reins.
Trust
you can trust
that a peek of the future
can turn one to greed.
Trust
you must trust
that the greed
could lead to your undoing.
So who
can you trust
to rewrite your fate?
Trust
you may trust
on a person
who is opening their eyes.
And pray you're not wrong another time.

He's Here
A new playthrough begins
like many before
on a game whose horror
runs back years ago.
But this feels different
then those before
the air feels tense
something is surely a miss.
As the game goes on
the feeling dissipates
into the wind
still a few minutes in
gotta rewind that scene again.
Then you notice it
the face cam glitched
your blood turns cold
you can't look away
can't ignore
for there will be more.
The next one changes
Jack's face you knew
from so long ago
into a more menacing foe
a new ego you suppose.
But this feels different
then those before
he feels malicious
a vile presence
instead of just
a bit suspicious.
He appears
again and again
to varying degrees
of creepiness.
Yet it puzzles you still
till the end appears
the captions making you aware
of what really is going on here.
Something is a miss
this being isn't a friend
maybe if you watch more
it will go back to its land
or is this already the bitter end?

Through the Colored Doors
Go down the hallway
of the colored doors
open each one with care
see what may be there.
Open the blue one
when injuries you bear
take the bandages
and heal yourself there.
Open the green one
when adventure you crave
go through the forest
remember to be brave.
Open the purple one
when you want to amaze
one and all
by tricks said to be fake.
Open the black one
when your bones are weary
let the sound of crickets
lure you into sleep.
Open the orange one
when hunger pangs
fruits and berries
populate the place.
Open the silver one
when weapons your desire
swords and guns
made through fire.
Open the pink one
when beauty you crave
see the flowers
at their finest hour.
Open the brown one
when meat is running low
slay the four legged souls
running in the grove.
Open the gold one
when riches are in need
be careful not be greedy
or you will feel unworthy.
Open the white one
when you feel the need
for blissful solitude
to meditate in peace.
Open any door you please
but don't go

Time of Colors
Funny how time
can change even
the most littlest of things
from the springtime flower
to the leaves' final hour.
And oh what beauty
those changes bring
full of vibrant colors
making the heart sing
a joyous song
so sing along
cheer up
the frozen one.
For even the cold hearted
deserves to feel
a bit of happiness
here and there
and smiles are catchy
so smile on
enjoy the blessing of the sun
for winter is sure to come.

The in between
There's a time
that no other planet
has a word for
no one else
truly has a time like this.
The time between
the moon second rise
and the stars first fade
this time we call
the in between.
During this time
as the stars begin to fade
we all gather outside
eyes on the sky
watching as one by one
the stars go out
only to come back
in a roaring blaze
the second before
the moon reaches the top.
Even the animals stop
to look up for a mere second
in admiration of the wonders
of the sky
before going along their merry way
to live out the rest of their day.
The only downside
to this spectacular time
is that it could give any traveler
who happens to be unlearned
in the ways of this world
a fright that will scar them
for the rest of their lives.
Now that you have learned
all the times but two
let me teach you
what happens before
the night is in full bloom.

A Heart Torn
My Tardis hums
a cheery little song
trying to lift up
a heart long since torn
oh my dear
don't you know
there's nothing here
to warm.
My friends are gone now
with the way of time
the only ones I have left
are you and I
though even that
feels like it's drifting by.
Why did no one
tell me long ago
that what I inherited
was nothing short
of a curse?
Do you hear the knocking
at the door?

The Wrong Destiny : Chapter one (Revised)
In the hours of twilight, when all is quiet and fast asleep, our dear Ellie and her brothers have at last finished going through their daily findings on their mother's porch from decades past. The harsh winter breezes blew hard against them with such ferocity that it almost blew them off the porch and into the snow below. Yet, they grit their teeth and make to continue their work, spreading the items out onto the porch. This collection consisted of an older man's pocket knife, a diamond earring found underneath a stall, and a few other lost valuables and trinkets. After several minutes of sifting through what they had, they suddenly notice...

Humanity's Dream
Once upon a dream
the earth was new
laughter and cheer
was on every ear.
Sorrows and strife
never lasted the night
sweeping away
the tears from yesterday.
With words
being sweet on the tongue
making amends
so the friendships never end.
Only when greed
and sickness
came to their knees
did the tears never cease.
Tearing apart
the bonds inside of their heart
as greed
took prevalence over everything.
Draining the well
so sickness forever dwelled
as no one could pay
to see the doctor any day.
Oh why couldn't we just
put money aside
and just work together
still the moonlight shines?
Did we forget
that no matter
which coast we roam
that we are human
down to the bone?
Maybe one day
the dream will reclaim
its glory
still the midnights chimes.
But until then
try to be kind
maybe we could rid
the world of some of its grime.
Oh dream return to us please.

Skeleton Soup
Skeleton soup
is made so divine
that it'll make any illness
shrivel and die.
With a bit of chicken
and bacon too
don't forget a cow bone
for flavors swoon.
Then add
some spices
from the Underworld grove
make sure they smell of souls.
Then stir them all
in a cauldron's brew
just be sure
not to fall in too.
