After That Certain Bomb Was Dropped
After that certain
bomb was dropped down on Japan's
own Hiroshima,
the blast produced a deadly
mushroom cloud killing millions.

Black Death
A scorpion will never face it’s own stinger. A bear will never maul itself. Why then do some men have wounds they wont talk about?
It’s not always the arrow that kills you, it’s the infection. Gangrene is a slow death, spreading slowly but surely. It loves an open wound and marches it’s death brigade ever so gradually to the heart.
The unforgiven has a unique gaze his eyes. It’s says he’s longed for the barrel of his revolver. Looking at him is like staring right through a bullet hole. And he knows the choice is simple, cut off the trigger finger that betrayed...

A Million Pieces
A Million Pieces
Take forever to put back together
They have you searching
The world over for those pieces
That were blown away by the wind
You grab the pieces you can
Yet they slip away like sand
Slipping through your fingers
You need these pieces though
Because without them you're just hollow
So you go out into the world
Searching for the pieces of your heart
Whilst many step on fragments
Without even batting an eye
Scouring the world over
Only to be left cold
Taking the piece you can...
Take forever to put back together
They have you searching
The world over for those pieces
That were blown away by the wind
You grab the pieces you can
Yet they slip away like sand
Slipping through your fingers
You need these pieces though
Because without them you're just hollow
So you go out into the world
Searching for the pieces of your heart
Whilst many step on fragments
Without even batting an eye
Scouring the world over
Only to be left cold
Taking the piece you can...

Otherworldly Memories Part IV: The Evil Eye
- Otherworldly Memories Part IV: The Evil Eye -
So it came to pass, that after my marriage to the duchess Kar'mila Crom-Cruach, known to me more intimately as Kaitlin, was officiated and celebrated across all of the lands that belonged to us... we did set out with much ceremony and with a mighty host at our side for the island of Eriu, which was of old the ancestral seat of Kaitlin's people. They ruled there from a great city that had once been but a hill fort in the earliest of days, and the name of that city was Tara... the same as the great hill upon which it lay. Many peoples...

Seeing Herself Heartbroken
It was after having taken a shower
that Claudia sat in front of a mirror
and saw tears running down her
cheeks for she lost her love Peter.

Silent - Part 15: The International Summer School
Two Years Earlier: Gavin
Philippa. Rich, posh accent, dressed all in black, long matching hair, loads of jewellery. I liked her straightaway. Thought she was seriously gorgeous. On our first afternoon in town, we spent a while watching the two guys in army clothes, Jace and Steve, climbing the pylon-structure pier before searching around for a taxi.
'Lyme House used to be a Prep School for child prodigies run by Agnes Harlesden,' Philippa said during the ride. She spoke in an all-very-important voice, similar to One mustn't do that, must one? 'But someone set it...

To See Rachel Kiss And Touch Her
Karen finished taking her
shower and was about to
reach for a yellow towel
only to see Rachel kiss
and touch her all over
before she heard the
doorbell ring and saw
that she was alone
for her roommate died.

Mischief Born of Love
- Mischief Born of Love -
In the dawning hours of the newborn world,
When the first symphonies were being writ...
And all the choirs of creation gathered in bliss,
I sang alone in the company of sublime sorrow.
In the cities of the gods, with flags unfurled,
Not one of my divine peers laughed at my wit...
And when their light revealed the first morrow,
I longed to flee from it, as it interrupted my kiss!
I wept because it separated me from the night,
For in the vastness of that void, my love dwelt...
But the day was hot to bear, and...
In the dawning hours of the newborn world,
When the first symphonies were being writ...
And all the choirs of creation gathered in bliss,
I sang alone in the company of sublime sorrow.

Not one of my divine peers laughed at my wit...
And when their light revealed the first morrow,
I longed to flee from it, as it interrupted my kiss!

For in the vastness of that void, my love dwelt...

Lady In Red At A Dinner Party
I went with three of
my friends to this
posh mansion for a
dinner party and
saw this one babe.
She wore a tight
red dress and was
acting like she had
been looking around
the room for someone.
That was before my
best friend Jack walked
right up to her with that
smile of his and said
"hi" to that brunette.
After she had let out
a smile of her own,
they both stepped
out of the house and
over to the garden.
Then, my best friend's
date became suspicious

Latest Victims In The Next Generation Ripper Case
Some guy met both Karen and her
twin sister whose name was Heather
and invited them up to his
place to discuss plans on how he
would possibly make those two be
as famous as Britney still is.
The next day, two local cops found
their dead bodies right on the ground
with no clue of who's behind this.

She's Gone
Imagine my surprise when I read documentation of a literal cease of existence this morning.
All corresponding outlets that showed her previous existence has been ex-sponged off of the face of the earth.
Everyone who knew her has erased any trace of her presence.
I read the obituaries just in case I was missing something, but she was not there.
To think she tried to call upon me just years ago after the split.
Now she truly is dead not in the literal way.
Just what she went by, a dead name to a new identity.
None the...
