Its a pirate's life for me
Golgotha, "place of the skull"
Where on
The cross of thieves and Christ was raised
Flogged, crowned, nailed, and pierced
Dark stained with blood did yield
The skull and the cross bones
White symbols on black field
Its a pirate's life for me
To what did the Templars flee
Where on
The cross of thieves and Christ was raised
Flogged, crowned, nailed, and pierced
Dark stained with blood did yield
The skull and the cross bones
White symbols on black field
Its a pirate's life for me
To what did the Templars flee

Clandestine Mission
As I held my breath to LISTEN,
all was still, except the GLISTEN
of moonlight on the door. These ARE
the ways that I could make or MAR
my task. My cloak provided SLIGHT
protection from the freezing NIGHT.
Crept past the barn where horses NEIGH
and quickly loaded up the DRAY.
Now read this from a different angle:
take the capitalised words; untangle;
the eight initials you will find
will surely put you in the mind
of why I was above suspicion
as my plan came to fruition.
What was I?
[Clue: C C V V C C C C]

Fiction
Eyes
inviting
as they conceal
a truth
in the story.
Lips
waiting
to be asked
just to tell
a lie.

Architecture of suffering
The darkness is thickening...
And the darkness craves bodies...
The world is filled with fragments of desires.
In the incomprehensibility of sinful thoughts
There is a limit assigned to purity...
The point of no return happens early...
Canvases of bodies...
With strokes of words - subjects of secrets,
Drowning in the pulsation of hidden moments
And the foreignness of a crumpled dream...
Dreams are cut... nightmares
To the touch...
And the darkness craves bodies...
The world is filled with fragments of desires.
In the incomprehensibility of sinful thoughts
There is a limit assigned to purity...
The point of no return happens early...
Canvases of bodies...
With strokes of words - subjects of secrets,
Drowning in the pulsation of hidden moments
And the foreignness of a crumpled dream...
Dreams are cut... nightmares
To the touch...

Whispers in the Shadows: Embracing the Unseen Journey
In the heart of night, beneath the moon's soft glow,
I wandered paths where shadows dance and secrets flow.
Through the corridors of memory, past the doors of Big Daddy's light,
I traced the echoes of laughter, and the whispers of the night.
Among the revelry and music, a darker tale unfolds,
Of energies unseen, of futures untold.
A dream of teeth falling out, a harbinger of despair,
A warning unheeded, floating in the air.
I stood amidst the entertainment, a sentinel in the crowd,
Bearing witness to a shadow, silent yet loud.
I reached out...
I wandered paths where shadows dance and secrets flow.
Through the corridors of memory, past the doors of Big Daddy's light,
I traced the echoes of laughter, and the whispers of the night.
Among the revelry and music, a darker tale unfolds,
Of energies unseen, of futures untold.
A dream of teeth falling out, a harbinger of despair,
A warning unheeded, floating in the air.
I stood amidst the entertainment, a sentinel in the crowd,
Bearing witness to a shadow, silent yet loud.
I reached out...

SKELETONS IN THE CLOSET
Skeletons in the closet.
What truth do I hide?
I might share, I might be honest.
Telling you my dark secrets isn't wise
Just let them be in the dark
Never expose
If I do it could be at a park
Secluded and what else, who knows?
If I tell you my tainted secret
Then you could regret it
Why?
Cause with you it wouldn't be the same
Things would change and maybe be some pain.
But don't you worry
Things aren't that way
No damage done, no bad story

Wake Up!
Time marches on, relentless, unstirred,
Unaware of events,
Events that might alter
The very essence of our shared realm.
The cosmic web shifts, threads anew,
Neither the present
Nor the future
Can claim certainty's helm.
A mist obscures our collective sight,
Save for a few who stand in the light.
Fed with spoonfuls of crafted tales,
Our minds shaped to fit their scales.
We wander through life's foggy veil,
Like somnambulists on a well-trodden trail.

- Klingon Legends: The Forgotten Gods of Karklon Gamma -
The planet named, in the language of Federation Standard, as Karklon Gamma... was considered to be a forbidden world for any star ship to approach... it was at the outermost fringes of the neutral zone that was set up between the worlds of the Federation and those of the Klingon Empire.
