FRACTURED LIGHT
In the mirror's gaze, a stranger's face Eyes that once shone bright, now dim with time The weight of shadows, a heaviness that clings A heart that beats with doubt, a soul that sings A whispered lie, a voice that won't subside "You're not enough, you'll never be alright" The echoes of memories, a bittersweet refrain A longing for solace, a search...

Turtle beach
The Ballad of the Endless Shell An Epic Poem of Turtles In the age when the world was newborn and bright, Before sword or sorrow or firelight, The Earth did stir with a breath so wide, And turtles rose from the ocean's tide. Old as mountains, calm as stone, They bore the sky on backs alone. With shells like shields from time and...

What Are You Chasing?
You wake up with a goal, at least, that's what you say. But take a moment, be real, what’s lighting your way? Is it passion? A purpose that stirs in your chest? Or just the grind to keep up and impress? You’re not building kingdoms. You’re just sending T-fare. So someone can smile, flip her hair, Eat your food, rest in...

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version 2 - 32
The Dark men fought on past their mother, many had seen the mighty one fall they fought on with bitter hate, as now, once more, did the mother of the storm. Her spear flashed lightning, she stirred on her horses, the chariot moving quickly forward, the spear drinking deeply of Arlagh's blood. The battle now raging, one large cacophony of terror, many smaller battles now...

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version - 2 -31
Fierce goblins rode these wolves, their curved scimitars, raining death, their fierce visage could freeze the heart, they moved with the giant spiders, death comes in so many ways. The battle on the right was terrible, blood did flow like a river, black, blue, green and red, what horror stalked Badicha. Already, the foot soldiers are charging into the trees, they now had the bloodthirst, it...

The parties were in full swing. The doorbell rang, yet no one knew it. In that instant, everything changed for the party guests. Speak softly, lean in closer, and turn down the volume. A sudden death—another soul has taken its last breath. Did he pass the test? Sniffing cocaine, he...

Warning of Krishna-A Translation
Wandering in the woods for years, Trials and Tribulations without fears, Scorching heat, thorns and flood flow, Came the Pandavas with a divine glow. For days not Fortune lay wrappen, Wait and Watch the thing to happen. To manifest the clan’s worth, To show the righteous path on Earth, To bring Duryodhan into sense, To prevent Massacre of Vehemence, Came Hastinapur the Almighty, The Message...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part VI
...Have you ever seen true madness take full possession of a man? Gobayth’s dreams of coming home were now all well and truly damned. It’s said he screamed for half the night, so much that it damaged his throat, and it was not long after that he started slaying ‘settled’ folk. The first target was a merchant travelling with his concubine and his two slaves...
