Entry #5,391

There’s no light on

the horizon, friend.


Those bastards saw

right through me...

Then turn to ask why

I’m so fucking divided.


They’ll mull it over,

I’ll put myself back together.

I always do.

It’s fucked the way they

treat their muses.


I tried telling them

I’m not amused.


They didn’t get it.

They never do.

Such humor is wasted upon them. Laughing is my only friend.


They’ll ink ...

Your Housewife Doesn’t Give A Fuck

“Pretty things cannot be powerful”


You say as you gaze at the sea


And that is the foolishness of man


You look into the horizon and assume nothing is past it because you cannot see anything past it


You look at women as “muses” as pieces of pretty art to be fought over


You post (scream- bellow until your voice is hoarse) your propaganda in the streets because you are afraid of the PEOPLE findi...

The Moon’s Request

The Horizon summoned the Moon, yet the Moon would not fall.


This perplexed the Horizon. The Moon always abided by her commands.


Alright fine, she thought. If he won’t listen to me, I’ll lure him down with my beauty. I shall become his muse.


With that, the Horizon erupted in an array of colors. Hues of pink and purple and orange swirled around in her belly.


Creatures and men below turned to g...

Escape

I live on the the moon. Our job is to grant the nightmares of mortals, we are taught to take their biggest fears and plague their dreams. Tonight is the night I escape this nightmare. Go to a place over the horizon and beyond the stars, to a place no one here will ever think to find me. I can’t keep doing this routine everyday. The things I see, can’t be undone. I wish I could erase the memories, ...

To Discover

I always saw the horizon and I wanted to fly away. I needed to go to see more of it.

Today, I take my flight for the first time. My dragon is ready and so am I. We will finally take off and leave the nest.

Behind me, my mother is crying quietly. My father is disappointed and maybe a bit proud. Or at least I hope he is. I want him to be. After all, beyond the horizon might be war and glory. Or mayb...

Ice Tundra

As I sit upon my throne at the top of the mountain I sit and stare into the horizon. The light is absolutely beautiful, a rarity in this ice age. The frozen wasteland is truly a barren and harsh place to live. This winter was absolutely brutal and most of my people had to survive indoors and on their own. This was truly a humbling year; as we lost a lot of good men and women to the blizzard from t...

Pirate Art

“A sloop has been spotted on the horizon,” the first mate proclaimed to his captain. “Looks to be a great prize!”


Captain Bloodstone turned from his Bible reading, slapping the book onto his bed. “Huzzah!” He crowed. “At last! The Lord has turned His face to us!”


The crew of the Vixen burst into activity. Furling and unfurling sails, preparing weapons, consulting the wind, swabbing slippery spot...

Beyond The Horizon

Natasha shivered as the sea breeze tickled her arms. She took another step forward, and the ice cold water licked her toes. She gasped, but gritted her teeth, continuing to move forward.


“You will not find what you are looking for out there.”


She whipped around. An old man stood behind her, his timeless eyes boring into hers. She would recognize him anywhere - his photograph was plastered on eve...

Fuck

Sun lounging

Sun pounding

Always wishing

Alswady wanting

Falling through space

Searching for sound

The emptiness we leave behind

The tide is rising

As the shadows fade to black

Rolling out the carpet for the born to burn


No memories haunting me

Ruddied

Work is a machine

Purple dreams

Life is a machine

However far


That girl afar

I love that girl to mars

That girl afar


No memories

Your mo...

Speech

Doing 80 do n a neighborhood

Haunted in every way

Driving drunk down the freeway

I’m fucking stupid

More than fucking useless


Broken glass

And crashing

Leave me littered all over the room


Life me up

paranoia is a virtue

Letting go for the fun of it

Those changes get me static

I don’t mean to get over dramatic


Where did it go

PleSe give it back

My heart is on the floor

Crawling in your plac...
