Read MoreSitting on a breeze
Sitting on a breeze Washing pain through my head. A sculpture of my death. The last chapter read. Whip the sea into a frenzy. Wander through it like a bee. Slipping through the fingers of a craniotomy. Trapped eternal hopeless. Search for broken sanity. Synesthetic hallucinations. Grand illusions. Baked delusions. Then it stops! It disappears.…

Read MoreMy Sadness
My knowledge was not erased at birth. I am the Universe, trapped in a human body, weighed down by its limitations, fully aware of my greatness.

I met a girl… So beautiful. Skin so soft, attitude so rough, yet fragile and perfect. Our insecurities met, cancelling each other’s out; safely wrapped in each other’s arms.

Read MoreFlaw in the design
The clouds swirled and rumbled below. A storm was brewing. Sitting at his desk, the inventor studied his design. Fingers fumbling across the old papers with endless scribbles, equations and symbols known only to the mind from which they came. “Damn me!” echoed through the room as a fist slammed down sending a mug next…

A rustling can be heard as the leaves shimmer with the vibrations of someone, something, approaching. The dense green foliage that has consumed all in its path, suddenly shows a crack in its front as four, then eight pink little fingers appear and carefully pull the entwined leaves and stems apart. A young girl, a…
