    In unseen realms of time and space There lies a dark and different place A place of wonder, so fantastic Under yoke of lords galactic Planets crumble, planets shake These lords of greed, they only take A universal tyranny Where none can truly be called free But in the tunnels, in the caves Men and…

    The fighting raged for four full days I saw men die in different ways I never saw barbarity Now it’s staring straight at me I’ve seen them choke, I’ve seen them die I’ve heard them for their mothers cry I’ve seen them dying in the fields The violence here, it never yields I’ve seen men…

    After dark I roam these halls My footsteps echo off the walls I revel in my solitude The darkness it reflects my mood I feel alive when moon is full I’m basking in the Autumn cool The silence where I find my peace A place where time and tide do cease From this place I…

    Because Sammy Hagar said it far better back in 1987 than I ever could. One of the most beautiful songs off Sammy’s 1987 album I Never Said Goodbye. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform this song live many times over the years. Sometimes acoustically, but also during his time in Van Halen in…

    Is there more to their existence? Lives extinguished in an instant In the cosmos where I reign There is never doubt or pain Yet, I watch them down below What they’re doing they don’t know They hurtle quick to their demise This as sure as suns will rise How I wish that I could show…

    I had a lot of thoughts in mind when I created this post. Now, I sit here and find I don’t have even one. Or I have a hundred too many. Hard to tell the difference sometimes when it all sounds like static. Maybe that’s why I started this post – I just wanted a…

    Mother Moon is watching us In her ways we can but trust Bewitching with her energy Spirits bound or spirits free Her whims we are but subject to We may deny but know it’s true On lunar waves we merely ride And trust that she is on our side Is she your friend, is she…

    Excerpt from the journal of Korv the Barbarian. Is this all there is to life? Stagnation cutting like a knife Has the blade become this dull? Into a stupor I’ve been lulled Once was meant for greater things To fly upon immortal wings Now I merely mark my days While boredom works it’s evil ways…

    Weeks had passed and Korv assumed his new role within the private army. The men were good and of hearty stock, and the wages were fair. Korv had also been granted plenty of leave time. The post was rather easy. Almost too easy, to be more accurate. Korv had been so used to the unending…

    Ten year sentence. You didn’t break me. Beatings with nightsticks. You didn’t break me. One stinking hour in the yard. You didn’t break me. The weight pile. You didn’t break me. Sleep deprived. You didn’t break me. Solitary. You didn’t break me. Thousands of pushups. You didn’t break me. Alone with nothing but my thoughts.…

    Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday! We’re now halfway through the month and the time it is a’flyin’ by! Hard to believe that next month the days start gradually getting shorter again. I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t mind that one bit. Anyhow, enough of that. Last…

    My trusty Doc Martens. Of course, they don’t make the utility series anymore, so I need to find an alternative for work, because I need safety toes. The heels are shot, the leather is cracked, and they’re hanging on by a thread. But I’m not ready to let them go quite yet.

    Hibernation is good and sometimes necessary. Solitude often has a negative connotation. It’s not the same as loneliness. When one feels like they have to censor themselves or walk on eggshells, especially in their own space, something is terribly wrong. If one is still long enough, they can sense the energies around them. I sense…
