k- Slaves Do Not A Lord Make
Further along he walked softly alongside Mercury. Witches fun and dead innocents behind now. He mourned his failings, wishing he were better, always better. Filling his heart with guilt and pain he carried as the weight of oceans.
His legacy was long and troubled, tinged with greatness and tragedy. He carried almost all unknowingly, save for his line. Royal of royals he respected it and strove to better it in all ways, compassion being one. His name will drop form the story in time, his given name that is ... his other name will follow him and his offspring through eternity...

k A Tale Of Two Brothers
There's a story of two bothers. Two other brothers or the same brothers. One gets twisted in the throes of early tumultuous history telling. Warped over time to fit exigency and greed.
Both had fine brides that loved them very well, but the younger who ruled the heavens grew jealous of his elder and coveted his wife. So he conspired with the nether world to kill his younger brother. They succeeded.
They lay a trap and drowned him in the great river, causing a panic in the realm below .
His wife led the search and eventually found him nestled...

Jeff awoke to his phone alarm at 6am. Rolling over to quiet it. Then punching in his pin to check his texts, Facebook notifications, Twitter notifications, Instagram etc. Seeing the large number today he settles in to scroll through them in turn. Scrolling the titles and opening words of each, then opening and sometimes replying to interesting ones.
He pays particular attention to a co-worker's comments and posts. The blonde with the big tits he's been trying to bed. Another sexy selfie she tagged him in. Ogling her pic in a tight fall sweater with a come hither look, has his lust...

k- Present Incoherent
I sleep infrequently and sparingly. The apartment is too cold and too hot and I think it's just me. It's as cluttered as my mind is these days. My practical memory ... google, and my personal memory riddled with mysteries.
I dream tales ... stories, fantasies, horrors ... truths? I don't know. One night I am a mighty King, loved and revered for wisdom and a child must be split ... and Mother defers ... and I wake sweating. Another I'm a soldier with a flint musket, rushing up a hill bayonet affixed and ready to skewer a Redcoat with young terrified eyes. I run him through and...

k- The Ways The Mind Poisons The Heart As In The Heavens As On The Earth
The nature of Magik is pure. The nature of those who invoke it is ... suspect at best. To wield it creates a responsibility. Though most invocations are neutral in this, conjuring a cloak or summoning an article of clothing, some tend to fall outside this area. Altering one's perception or reality. Manipulating one as a puppet, Enchanting, carries more serious affects.
This never stopped those who use it from carrying out dastardly deeds and might explain the Karmic effects befallen them in later times. The divine ledger, as it were, checking off each box as appropriate to the...

Scleral Etchings
I looked into his arctic blue eyes. My painted lips formed an even more painted on artificial smile. Artifice is, after all, an extension of nature, right? …Right? I hoped, likely in vain, that this caricaturization of natural human emotion distracted from the reflections in my eyes. Ones I feared might still be there after having blinked, slept, forgotten. Reflections in my glassy brown eyes of the countless Google searches ranging from “painless suicide methods” to “how long does it take to die from hanging?” I feared those inquiries were somehow permanently etched into the whites of my...

Cracula
It was Halloween night, no Michael Myers in sight.
I was dressed up as a mime, ready to get high as a kite!
I was no juggalo, but I played ICP in the whip.
As I burnt rubber towards downtown to get me some shit.
With my barnett in platts, I headed down to the flats.
That was full of dope feins, like the roaches, and rats.
I was approached by a straggly haired lady, she looked like a banshee.
A hag of the mist type, and asked me for some Mandy.
I said "I've got nothing on me lady, now leave me alone!"
As I proceeded...

Wonderland
It was night.
I was tired.
And ready to dream away.
I got under the blanket.
I laid my head on the pillow,closing my eyes.
One second,I was in my bed.
Next thing I know,I have a fuzzy feeling in my head.
I woke up in a mystical land.
Where it's colorful,and everything is bent.
Everyone was smiling unnaturally wide.
I didn't know what it meant.
I began to head inside a tunnel.
But I started to fall.
I ended up in a hallway.
The air had an odd smell.
Next to me ,a magical wishing well. ...

Ballad Of The Fairy
The clouds were in the air.
The sun was shining through.
It was a lovely sunday morning afternoon.
There was a light breeze.
And you feel like you might sneeze.
But you don't.
And you spot something in the air.
It's sparkly,leaving trace in your hair.
It's like magic dust.
From a creature so unknown.
You look behind and your mind is blown.
You saw a fairy.
A pixie in small size.
She uses sparkly wings to fly in the skies.
Her hair,so beautiful you mesmerize.
And shiny,blue angel eyes. ...
