All in a golden afternoon, under the skies of cloudless blue

Elder trees, sycamore and oaks, countless grew

They touch the horizon and give a boundless view

The feel of nature is undoubtedly true...

Lying there beneath the ground

Where I could not be found

I screamed but made no sound

To the earth I was bound

I wished to be alive

From this fate I could not survive

The gates of hell I would soon arrive

After I begged and pleaded to revive

There is no harder war than against death

For it wages until your final breath...

The mountain trail went on forever. Great tall pine trees loomed overhead as the path winded ever further up. Each step sounded the crunch of gravel and earth and their breaths mingled with birdsong.

They had been walking for almost three hours and Beth could overhear the other three talking about their plans for the summer while she trudged behind wishing she hadn’t finished the last of her wat...

The warming sun will not rise in the morning

The snow capped mountains of the earth will crumble

Deadly cracking earthquakes will rumble

The universe is in mourning

Cold brisk winds will screech through the air

And the wind will be still and it’s silence so loud

The once light blue sky will be covered in dark clouds

The universe does not care

Volcanos explode and lava spills from the crust

The e...

Sunday is my favourite day. No work, no stress, no nothing. I wake up late, drink early and watch the football. Perfect.

It was half time and I went to my fridge for my third beer. I had Chinese food on the way and was feeling good when I heard a crash and the breaking of glass.

The man was all in black and holding a gun. In an instant I tackled him to the floor and started kicking him. He cou...

I need to get these feelings off my chest

Time has passed and now I have moved on

But faint memories and good times linger

We are different, and yet somehow the same

I used to love you, you used to love me

Now we just text occasionally

We used to be close, now we are distant

It feels right and wrong at the same time

You have changed, I have changed, time changes us all

I do not want to fall int...

I knocked twice on the black door. Not too hard that it scared the people inside, but not so soft that it warranted curiosity. A dog barked some way off and I could hear crickets chirping in the grass across the road. I held my gun in my right jacket pocket, making sure that I had the silencer screwed on tight. I relaxed my shoulders and waited for the door to open.

Being a trigger man for the ma...

I always sleep in on weekends. I stay up till 2am on Friday night, and so on Saturday, I wake up around midday. Unfortunately for me, Dracula woke well before I did.

I felt a pain in my neck when I woke, and a deep soreness through my entire body. I could barely move. Another hangover I sleepily thought to myself, until I saw him. He was sitting in my desk chair, in a fine brown suit, black hair...

The air tickled. I could feel it, gently touching my face and hair. I walked slowly through the field only using my sixth sense to guide me. Even though the gods had taken my eyes they had given me other gifts. It was a big price to pay but all my senses were heightened. The wind blew through the field of long grass and I knew how tall it was from the whooshing sound as it was blown this way and t...

Some days, it feels like I have nothing

I lie in bed, alone, not worthy of loving

I find it hard to connect, I find it hard to be trusting

I don’t go out, for I’m scared of their judging

On days where everything feels so wrong

And I feel in my heart that all hope is gone

I can put on some music and feel the soul of a song

And for a touch, a whisper, I feel strong

There may be days where that st...
