The Valley Remembers
The wind doesn’t howl here-- it warns. Each breath drawn is borrowed from the bones beneath. They told me to fear the shadow, but never the silence that follows. I walk where others knelt, blade dulled, spirit frayed, still searching for the summit that keeps shifting skyward. I do not ask for light-- only the strength to keep walking where ghosts refuse to rest....

Backstage with Iron Maiden
A Wilderness of Mirrors. I am unfamiliar with Iron Maiden's music, even though I worked a handful of times at their concert. I was curious about their mascot guy...Eddie. At one of their concerts, they had a bunch of Eddie dolls in boxes, and they left them there, and all the stagehands got...

Ink and Iron
I wore a raven on my skin, Not born of gang nor kindred sin, Just etched in ink, a flight of thought— But thought, it seems, is often caught. They came one dusk with boots and keys, Declared me marked for treacheries, And flew me far past time or trail— A soul in cuffs, a postmarked tale. They locked me in a land...

Premium Member The Same Die Is Cast for One and All
The name of every soul is written line by line, without highlights or underlining in the leaves of pages of the book of souls. The stone temples built by kings that rise to the heavens, fall as empires fade and crumble, when the ledger must be made. No human god can barter with the end, no king can forever outrun the roll-call for their entry...

The Fly That Foiled Iron Fist
Danny Rand, with a fist like a gong, Tried meditating, where nothing went wrong. But a fly, rather bold, Landed right on his nose, cold, Then he yelled, "Chi control's been too long!" ©bfa031925 ...

Of Iron Maiden's 'Hallowed Be Thy Name'
Of Iron Maiden’s ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name,’ reveals more than fame. When life days are a light at the end of the tunnel, and their brightness dimmed. At some point, each with mortality faces the same, whether someone plays a short or a long game. That journey ended; the torch passed, yet short-lived proved the path. Locked...

The Iron
Sits there and judges. How dare you mock me! Do you think I have time to perfect smocked sleeves? Turned down collars Frilly blouses Pleats wrinkle-free. You are redundant No longer of use Except as a doorstop Or in self-defence. I will not be cowed By your flat, grey face. I glory in chaos, Crumpled cottons and lace. I shy from the conservative Perfectly straight We will not have flatness Except on...

Iron Man
I started to fly this time, Injecting the inclusions of notable eyes. They’re always calling me a name I can’t yet find. But this is happiness right? Ten-thousand years of life Ten-thousand years that I bleed, And I weep, And I breathe the hue’s of an emperors sheet, A fools’ gold left me with the sins of Adam & Eve...
