Meeting

Jo and Cathy sat outside a coffee shop. Their agreed upon meeting place. It was spring and the weather was just starting to warm up enough that they sat at one of the tables outside, soaking up the sunshine radiating from the clear blue sky.

They were waiting. Waiting for Alex to appear.

“Do you think she’ll show?” Cathy asked, looking at her lover over her cup of Chai latte.

Jo merely shrugge...

Anything Or Nothing

_(This is going to be romantic fyi)_

I would be anything for you.

From the smallest creature to the biggest mountain.

I would hold you above myself in every regard.

My flesh cannot contain nor hold back

This feeling of desire to prove myself to you.

I give freely anything to you within my power.

To know such a love and want to weep from it.

Like tears can be absorbed into your skin.

So that you...

The Night Sky

The stars are my home.

Tranquility in silence as I drift.

My eyes feel the pull of their unseen weights

And I let them drift close.

I am safe here.

I am protected.

The stars twinkling to me.

Welcoming me home.

On my back I drift, soaring higher than any bird.

Just me, the sky, and the stars.

I feel the pull to drift to sleep.

But am reluctant to do so just yet.

I want to savour this moment.

In Shadows

The darkness called to her.

Why? No one knew, but she had felt its pull for as long as she could remember. Her parents told her she had been born with it.

Even as a baby, before she could walk or talk, she would seek out the dark. Much to their dismay.

But to her, it was simply who she was. Her whole life she had been seeking it out.

It didn’t scare her, it was a comfort. The darkness didn’t q...

An Unwanted Predator

I was a predator.

Forced to kill, to hunt, in order to sustain my life. A life that was not of my own making.

I’m sure you’ve heard the fables, creatures of the night, striking terror into hearts. What would you do if I told you it’s all true.

Mankind has embellished the stories of old it is true but the truth exists within.

For too long I had survived. Anyone I had gotten close to, lost to me...

A Poem

The waters know what it means to be battered to and fro.

Its secrets kept in darkness.

The waves churning below.

The ocean commanding respect.

It bows to nothing and no one.

Man’s foolish attempt to control it, inept.

Whether a small puddle of rain water, or a vast ocean of blue.

Beware of the unseen dangers lurking within.

Its true depth remains out of view.

Many a man, woman, child has met th...

Steps

His steps were sure and true.

The strike of his shoes hitting the rough stone was the only sound to be heard.

He walked on.

This maze, this labyrinth, had been a dare, a challenge from one of his friends.

Alcohol had played a big part before hand, fuelling his decision, landing him here, in this moment in time.

Mere hours ago, he had been out drinking with his mates, all of them fresh out o...

Goodbye

“Lie.”

The man cocked his head in confusion. His friend, his best friend of nearly 20 years was telling him to lie?! But why? What could his friend possibly stand to gain from it?

Words escaped him for a minute as the shock of the suggestion moved through him.

His words, once they did come were laced with disbelief. “What?! Why should I lie?!”

He didn’t understand.

The man’s friend waved...

My Vow

It was gone, all of it. My home, the place I had spent my entire childhood was desolate before my very eyes.

Glass crunched under the heel of my riding boots, my footsteps the only sound around for miles.

I could almost hear the echo of children playing from my own memory. The joy I had felt back then, the carefree optimism and innocence of youth.

And my friends, all of it, gone. Vanished.

...

Blood Bound.
