No Theme Thursday: 05/16/24
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…

Sublime Perfection
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…

Dark Lord of the Hunt
As the darkness comes alive And the sun begins to fall He awakens from his slumber As he roams these hallowed halls For the hour is upon him For the hunt he must prepare He knows well that she is waiting Her sacred scent is in the air She’s elusive and beguiling Moving naked ‘cross…

Cloudy With A Chance of Zen
Up above here in the clouds Far above the din so loud A clarity of calm and peace A purity of sweet release No coming, going, to and fro Life up here, a gentle flow All senses free, it’s almost zen Releasing thoughts of where and when There is no pain, no that or this…

Of Ragnarok
In evening dark the storm clouds rise The shift it comes before my eyes A fleeting glimpse as light turns dark A thunder god shall leave his mark Upon the earth with heavy rains Soaked in fury, drenched in pain A battle wages from on high Away from mortals, in the sky A battle we…

For the Mothers
You nurture us, you care for us You teach us right from wrong And when we cannot sleep at night You soothe us with a song You provide for us and care for us You make sure we are fed You give a loving home to us And tuck us in our bed When monsters…

Voice of Night
Clearest sky on darkest night I let my mind and soul take flight Detaching from this mortal coil Among the shadows, walk the soil My body grounded, spirit free It’s just the night alone with me I revel in the evening mood I truly love this solitude To none I answer, only me When I’m…

Simplicity/Synchronicity
Connected by a force unseen Wonder what it all could mean In many forms and many ways Feelings with us all our days A first encounter, second glance Is it fate or is it chance? Watching life move down the street A taste of coffee, sugar sweet Is it really intertwined? Or just a product…

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…

No Theme Thursday: 05/09/24
And we’re back with this week’s edition of No Theme Thursday. Your weekly dose of randomness and imagery, where there is no point and there is no theme, unless you give it one! Hope everyone’s week has been good so far. This is my long week to work, so my weekend is already locked down.…

Hate Unbound
Awash in this insanity I feel alive, I feel so free A paradise consumed in blood You’re drowning in the crimson flood The lava coursing through your veins I find my pleasure in your pain Feel it scorching deep within Pay the penance for your sin Your screams are music to my ears I dine…

In Deepest Night
Here within the deepest night Here is where my mind takes flight Kaleidoscope of painted dreams Nothing’s ever what it seems And yet a hint of clarity As from these shackles I am free Free to choose and free to find Deepest recess of the mind Alive until the morning light Found comfort in the…

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

Thoughts At Dusk
Another day comes to an end Reflecting on what’s come and went Basking in the fading light Prepared to welcome deepest night It’s here that I feel most at home My thoughts are free and so they roam The dying light is so serene It shows me things I’ve never seen My mind is open,…

Impending Storm
The sky turns grey, the air turns chill A storm it brews behind the hill Impending rains and winds of gale The sky it cries torrential hail I hear the rumbling far away The voice of gods be heard today Their fury, they give just a taste Find your shelter, find with haste Heed it…

On Friendship
Two more different one can’t find With you I’m free to speak my mind To talk about my hopes and dreams One can’t find a better team Where I say black, you say white Neither wrong, yet both are right You aren’t a critic, aren’t a judge You have my back and never budge When…

Walk Through Enchanted Woods
She always walks enchanted wood Always in her crimson hood Her lips of red, her flowing hair Every night I see her there From a distance, scent so sweet A cracking twig beneath her feet Hunger always, every night Sweetest fruit I long to bite I gaze on her with eyes of red Fevered thoughts…

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…

Meanderings At Dusk
I am waiting for dusk to arrive As darkness falls I feel alive My thoughts meander, feeling free As night slips in I truly see This clarity is so divine I feel it now, this world is mine Mine to have and mine to hold To tell the tales I’ve not yet told The air…

You Are The Reason
I am the thing that you cannot contain Born from your fire, born from your pain I’m an eternal smashing machine Power unhinged on the verge of obscene I hold doom in my hands and hate in my heart Destruction to me is a work of sheer art You try to deny me, yet always…

Broken Free
A reckoning at hand The hour has arrived They thought him to be dead But somehow he has survived The deepest depths of Hell Have been ripped and torn asunder Broken is the yoke That he had been living under Vengeance is at hand Moving with impunity Pray that you survive For the beast has…
