Dream: Authority

5/4/22 Freewrite Authority. I am unyielding authority. Thy knees shall bow to my every decree. Thy crypt is bequeathed to royal thane. Thy fear falls from the core of pain. Never leave thy name to my dream. Cry to the train of thought. Train of thought. Train of…

Myopic Medley

8/29/2022 Shadows creeping at the edges of my vision. Glaucoma seeping from cornea to iris. Figures hiding outside myopic blindness. I prefer your faces blurry; Don’t give me prescription glasses. I’ve got contact with the supernatural. But to contact lenses, I must say “No.” … In the

Colloquial Terror

March 31st, 2022 Colloquial terror is in the name. What was the error of your ways? Trying the father of the familiar particular errors. What was the monster in your psyche? What was the typhoid in your fever? What was the nightmare in your mind? There are waves in the

Dream: Origin of Miniboss

Inspiration

5/11/2025 On a peaceful moor lies a house in ruin. Burnt to the ground—debris lay strewn. Untouched under rubble hides a buried corpse. Charred to the bone, what’s left of skin is scorched. - His grandson comes from afar to visit. He heard of his funeral.

Poems

The Contradiction of Power

5/9/2025 Monsters crawl from their hiding place. The townsfolk cower, as they should. Guardsmen fight as peasants escape. They have no power in this world. - Then come heroes: adventurers. Breaking boundaries and records. Testing the limits of mortality. Pushing past maximum capacity. - A clash of wills.

The Mote in the Eye

I found this in my notebook. I’m not sure how old it is, but I go through notebooks pretty fast, so I reckon it can’t be more than a year old. I think it had something to do with how when I was young I didn’t understand

Dream 7/2/22: Baba Yaga

I ate objects, perhaps food and maybe even living creatures in a sort of putrid eating contest, in which I had to forcibly vomit the contents of my stomach after each round. When I ate in that contest, it felt like I was drowning, or was I the one being

TIL: Hypodermic Needles

I had a nightmare that engaged my fear of heights, with airplanes and parachutes and Swastikas. But it started out pretty tame. Here's the start of the dream. Disclaimer: Explicit Gore Warning One shot, One hit, One falls laid down to rest Bleeding all over gonna leave a mess Open

Poems

Vengeance

Vengeance. No sacrifice too great. Vengeance. I’m so filled with hate. Vengeance. By any means necessary. Vengeance. To destroy my enemy. Vengeance. No ambiguity. Vengeance. No moral quandries. Vengeance. Black and White, Blue and Red. Vengeance. Won't be satisfied until you're dead. Vengeance. I won't forgive my nemesis. Vengeance.

Poems

Dream: Quadrilateral

“Lateral” means side, That’s why “Quadrilateral” has four lines. Like Law of Gravity and Moon Tide. But in Fairyland, rules don’t apply. - Eat the cake; eat the pie. Leave nothing but crust, here’s the reason why: This derby race they’ve organized Doesn’t use potatoes,

Poems

Must have been the wind.

He wakes up on the floor, Battered and Bruised. Painful ringing in his ears, Bleeding mouth, he’s lost a tooth. – Stands up from the ground, Holding his hands to his head. The room keeps spinning around, His clothes have been ripped to shreds. – “I must have blacked out for

Poems

Dream: Phantasm

My own family thinks I’m dead. The evidence is there, I admit, But nobody ever found my body; The police report only says I’m missing. – I’m still here. Why can’t they see? I follow them around, shouting their name. But all they feel is a stiff

Poems

Dream: Warning! You've been kidnapped!

You wake up in a house you don’t recognize. You look up and down these stairs that wind Into an never ending spiral pattern: Numberless steps, infinite passage. – Down the hall, doors on each side. Windows display a neighborhood outside. You’re not familiar with these strange sights, But

Dragon Time

Dragon’s hide from celestial beings, Though it’s hard to hide when nothing Can be hid from all-seeing eyes. These eyes see all, so why can’t they find - The dragons’ lair up in the heavens Where they kicked out the light with pain and anguish? Beware the

Unyielding, Undying

Aqalyre: Sticks and Stones

Poems

Sleeper Agent

The face in your dream you’ve never seen in real life. The voice that says your name, waking you in the night. The bloodstained words you find painted on the wall. Or in the corner of your eye, a silhouette black and tall. - Have you ever wondered who
