The Marionette and the Puppeteer
Having fun on his own, the puppeteer wanted any toy to pass the time with—a plaything for his lecherous mind. There, he noticed the puppet sleeping soundly in the same room—the perfect doll, he thought.
At first, it began with stolen glances and grazes across her figure. Then, when the lights were turned off and everyone was asleep, his show started, and his costume was on, designed to do tricks for her—tricks she had never felt before, and neither did she want to feel.
Paralyzed, lying like a corpse as he fastened the strings around her wrists, joints, and limbs, she...

What If God Was Like Thanos
What if God were a force of entropy
a being of cold calculated physics
snapping His fingers to reset the system
erasing half of all existence
to restore balance to a chaotic universe
What if He viewed life
not as sacred but as data
a fluctuation in the great equation
dispensable when the numbers didn't add up
would we be reduced to mere variables
our suffering just an inevitable side effect
no different than a dying star or a collapsing galaxy
What if He saw the universe
not as a creation to nurture
but as a...

Silent - The House Abandoned
Crazy move. Philippa back in my life. She hadn't meant to hurt me yesterday, she insisted at our hastily arranged meeting in the fields after the dress rehearsal. Aidan had emotionally blackmailed her. He'd managed to confuse her. Since then, she'd decided to end the relationship with Aidan for good because it kept going around in circles, and Aidan had already left for Exeter.
'Come on,' Philippa said, taking my arm and pulling me up from the tree trunk. 'I bought a torch with.'
It was about quarter to six in the afternoon. We located the outhouse, the one Jace and...

Normal is overrated
Intake
Inflate
Digest
Deflate
Let them laugh,
It's obvious the joke is on me.
Hang there
Hang tight
Like a piñata
My torment
Brings them joy
Why not,
Who cares?.
Those society have learnt to make fun of the less
What's right,
But left?
The physically disabled
And mentally challenged
That we've learnt to dehumanize
Meme them
Mock them
Screw them
Use them
And as clowns paint them
Why is it that so few actually care?
Spit on it,...

Dark "Draconian Law"
First we invade and persuade every mortal human being, threw various methods and many ritualistical schemes!!
Threw all performance 🎭 and art presented to their eyes and minds, by televisions and on movie screens!!
While remaining concealed moving in the shadows in secrecy, which helps cloak are democracy, and make it that much harder to be revealed or even seen!!
Symbols an signs in symbiotic connections is how we'll keep them trapped and blind all done by design!
Poisoning everything the masses use, from food to water and drinks, even...

Little Cruelties
I used to think a lot
about killing him,
not serious, just fantasy,
to make him see
what it was like
to crawl backwards in sheer terror
as hands outstretched and mask in place
towards you walk with murderous intent.
Or when he held my throat and head
across the bathtub as the water gushed
and all that I could think was “this is it;
he’s finally done, or going to do,
the thing that I deserve, and am.”
I thought of killing him,
with chair and knife and implement extreme.
To switch our bodies, boy to man ...

Why (Oh, Why)
I give you all my love
But you still aren't satisfied
It doesn't seem to matter
That I've really tried
To keep things running smooth
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
I wash your clothes and
Fix nice meals for you
I do everything thing
You want me to do
Still you act like I'm ignoring you
So why, oh why do you want
To do me like you do
You can have your freedom
And I'll have mine too
I never wanted anything from you
That wasn't given freely
I gave my heart to you
So why,...

The Great Dying
This sun with its attendant train
of rocks orbits this Galaxy,
this done twenty times in this vein
since cold and small science tells me.
Two hundred million years will see
it again in this space as it soars
falling ever majestically
towards the milky way heart's core.
Did it pass this way through strange rays
the last time round, we cannot see,
those years ago but same pathway
and as it passed a killing spree
occured on land, oceans, air and seas,
beasts, fish, insects, birds even...

False profit
Here lies the False prophet
Who lied about his life
Lied about his profits
and his prophesies
That never came true
Then lied about his lies
Took credit for failings
Yet somehow rose up from his grave
To spew more lies
Because one without a soul never need worry about going to Hell
Who lied about his life
Lied about his profits
and his prophesies
That never came true
Then lied about his lies
Took credit for failings
Yet somehow rose up from his grave
To spew more lies
Because one without a soul never need worry about going to Hell

ADDICT .
You are my strength and my weak spot .
My drug of choice and my cure .
You are everything I desire. My lucky charm
and equally my biggest nightmares but still
I would willingly lay down my life for you .
Or just as easily live a life with you . I’m
an addict at your whim and I wonder
whether you will be my demise hung drawn
and quartered for my weakness. Or will
I conquer your walls and smile at your defeat .
I’m not sure this is unimpaired but I know too
I only feel healed with you . An addict doesn’t ...

The Most Unusual Hypnotist Act
Zachary stood naked in
front of everybody, stared
deep into the baby blue
eyes of Caroline and
made her strip down
and flash her body.
