Breaking Up

It sucks and it stings
But things will be better
Somehow
Some things

Will be different
Maybe it’s what we need

My immediate thoughts
Are only numb
As this reality
Is the one we’ve become

A path collapsed

Realization Radiation

Anyone would lose
To you

So many songs
About the one
That got away
And you know,

You’re that
For me

Years
Seconds
Mere moments
Can explode

That energy you once
Gave me
Lays waste to a
Nuclear plant

And out of its tank
It radiates everything

Cyanide tastes like
Pepper on a meal
With meat cured by
Half lives

Like I could never
Bring myself to
Ask you out again

But I do

I much want to be
Crazy in love
And carefree
As can possibly be

But how realistic
These thoughts
Are
Is something I can’t see

W...

Alchemy

Alchemy

Siphon the words
Right out of my mouth
Like a bubbling stream
Of gasoline

Alchemy

With every exhaust you
Bring these thoughts to me
Burning up an engine
Get my heart to beat

Fuelling movements
Like a drum you beat

Magic in your palm
You have the master key

V10
Alchemy

Crank the lever
And shift into gear

On the radio is still
Dark synthony

Black matter pistons
Kicking energy

Steer me where we’re going
And I’ll follow your

Alchemy

From your books of occult
You draw runes, liberate
Thoug...

Occultry

Occultry
Open up a book
And preach to me
Incant your spells
Against blashpemy
Paint your runes on walls
And catch my dreams
Bloody your robes to
Feel so
Occultry

Corrupted Blood Plague

Blue as the ice
That grips your wrist
Cold as the thunder
That quakes your bones

Smoke drop splashes
In a pool of vapor
Floating up the dust
Of ancient white rust

A bloody taste buds
And debases the pond
Once so purple pure
Now the rust floods

Nuzzleful

Never away days
Impactful nuzzling
Exploration

Nice and
Pulchritudinous
Abstractly serene
Harmonizing quakes
Without aspiring

Blame it on Skyrim – Journal 6/30/17

Lately I’ve been running a little low on drive for writing, which sucks! It’s even worse when you just bought Skyrim again and are playing it for the first time in 5 years. I think the reason people keep coming back to it is because it’s a masterclass in interpretative work, and it lets people make their own stories as they go. Gameplay isn’t too shabby, either, which is nice. But this isn’t a gaming journalism website, this is about writing, so let’s talk about that!

The things I have found...
