The Governor's Ball was the most important event of the year, featuring everybody who ...

The Earth’s Elixir

The sound of water, its journey over ragged rocks and through the grooves of the earth plays a symphony for the ear. Ravishing, is it not? The chaos it causes when 'misplaced', washing over the remnants of an arrogant humanity. It knows no better, only governed by Mother Nature and her rules. There is no need to be astonished. Water is predictable and when respected, its soothing song echoes in dr...

Starving

What You’ve  Become

Ravishing,

The way shadows curl

Around the edges of the room,

As if beauty itself had birthed them,

Aching to caress

What cannot be held.

A stolen light flickers,

Faint and gasping,

Its glow swallowed

By the void it sought to repel.


Chaos hums in the stillness,

An invisible storm

Tearing at the seams of silence.

Each breath fractures into shards,

Piercing the fragile air,

Bleeding secrets no on...

A World In Disaster

Nothing was like it. You used to look outside and see children happy and smiling and parents enjoying themselves and ravishing people walking around amazing others.

But I ask, what caused this, where did it all go wrong?...

Guessing at her indecision, he strode up the stairs, capturing her astonished eyes in his p...

Seeds Of Fear

In 1610 a new disease plagued the soil. Originating in South Africa, it was quickly spreading. Scientists scrambled to try to understand the cause of the blight that was ravishing the area.

Amidst all the fe...

Portrait

"Ravishing!" The creature with the springy white hair and paint-splattered apron set down his brush, his eyes taking on the glinting green cast of the inspired and the mad. I did not want to look at what he had made. I certainly did not want to look at him, so I let my eyes rove over the chaos of his studio. "Studio" is a term that implies a scholarly order, rather than the cacophony of colors and...
