    In the temple of my mind Clarity I wish to find Far away from fellow man I seek to learn all that I can In solitude I feel my best Away from noise and all the rest I find the peace I’ve always sought Free from worry, free from thought As I feel the setting…

    For meaning true a man will look Some men will find it in a book Others find it through deep prayer We often find there’s many layers Some meditate to find the word Some follow only what they’ve heard We look for ones to be our guide When really we should look inside If you…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Amidst the chaos and the din I search for comfort deep within While a storm may rage without A whisper born within a shout A place of center, calm and peace Where all my worries I release I send them to another plane And free myself from strife and pain A soothing breeze, a feeling…

    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.

    Good morning all. Hope everyone is doing well on this fine Tuesday. I’m taking a slight left turn today and going in a quieter direction. Can’t be all silliness and bombast every day, right? I slept minimally yesterday, so today the plan is to just lay low and do as little as possible. It feels…

    First, let me start by saying that I am truly appreciative of the deep, philosophical nature of the most recent daily prompts. This one, by far, deserves an award for “Deep Thought of the Year.” Truly breaking boundaries here, we are. Anyhow, I’m a good sport, so let’s play! Grapes As a soon-to-be-emperor, I figured…
