Transference
So many, many years ago, you took everything from me. My family, my place in the tribe. Everything. For years, I wandered, alone, swearing an oath of vengeance upon you. So many times, I thought I had taken my revenge. I had seen my spear pierce your chest, only to see you alive weeks later.…

Energy Ascendant
Headed toward destruction Just past the speed of light A star gone supernova This will be my final flight Said goodbye to family Said goodbye to friends I went to sleep contented Content to meet my end The life I lived was good Well, maybe not so much A relic from another age So distant,…

Cast Aside
Stepped upon and cast aside No one even tries to hide Absolute and sheer disdain Serve no use, I’m just a pain All the years I gave my best Tossed aside just like the rest A young man’s world it has become God bless the bottle, keeps me numb They tell me that my time…

The Simple Life
There’s a lot of simple things that might bring me some joy, but off the top of my head, I would say that writing and No Theme Thursday (although currently on hiatus) in particular, make me pretty happy. Have a nice day, everyone. ✌

No Theme Thursday: 05/30/24
Good day to all, and welcome to this week’s edition of NTT. After giving it some thought, I have decided that after this week, it’s time for a break. The main reason for this is that, if I am being completely honest, I have been struggling to come up with what I feel is fresh…

The Last Man Standing
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…

The Arms of Night
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…

Screw Unto Others
There was a time I used to care A time when I thought life was fair I thought we all played by the rules And then I realized we were fools The rulebook really is a joke A hall of mirrors, cue the smoke If you really do wish to succeed To my words you…

Battle Song
https://thebeginningatlast9.com/2024/05/02/no-theme-thursday-05-02-24/ I heed the call of battle song I journey through this valley long For fighting I was born and bred A sharpened blade to sever heads Amidst the grime, amidst the gore I find my peace when I’m at war

The Oath of Right
A battlefield of broken dreams Where once we ruled and reigned supreme T’was not supposed to end this way Our destiny to win the day Betrayal left us unprepared Once brave men were running scared Tore into us like wild beasts A rabid hell they had unleashed Wretched bodies strewn about I hear another anguished…

I Leave To Mend
The world that is I leave behind I wish to seek my peace of mind I agonized to stay or go How I struggled you don’t know The wounds upon me left a mark Alone and grasping in the dark I’ve been cut deeply to the bone My time has come to be alone Within…

Forever Proud
I sail across the crystal sea A new adventure beckons me Awash in gold and emerald treasure A bounty full of wine and pleasure I left my home so far away Ever onward from this day I’ll claim my prize and claim my crown No mortal man can strike me down My axe rules all…

Overlord
I sit upon my granite throne A force unlike you’ve ever known I took your heart and stole your mind Never have you seen my kind Imbued with powers so obscene Your every thought I have foreseen I’m everywhere, you cannot hide I know what moves you deep inside Deep within, can’t be ignored Now…

Knight So Black
Once I rode a horse so white Fought for all that’s good and right I had a code, I had a creed Helping others when in need My heart was pure like driven snow From mountain high to valley low My deeds were praised in joyous song And then one day it all went wrong…
