Rest now sleepy head for dreams are fast and fleeting wrapped in tinsel gold

The Snow Kingdom (part 1)
The Snow Kingdom Peaks of ice-capped mountains in the distance slowly climb, long ago the winter came, gripped this land for all of time. Frozen wastelands bordered by an endless sea of ice, Serene, bewitching, guileless climes beneath cold-blooded skies. 'We wandered through this alien landscape, unaware of how we came to be here. It's cold, … Continue reading The Snow Kingdom (part 1)
Father Time
I ask for no intrusion, give no welcome here. The hour is late, Or mayhaps not. Time plays on in timbres unfathomed - that orchestra of woe, winding wood and brass face; a metronomic bomb swaying back and forth; tick-tock – from dawn of time, back and forth, through rhyme and minuet, forth and back … Continue reading Father Time
Fear of the Dark
With Halloween just passed and long dark nights upon us, it's a time of year that really whets the appetite for things macabre and frightening. Autumn is the season of long shadows and withering sunsets, grey days and sullen skies; a time to hunker down indoors, out of the cold, and allow the machinations of … Continue reading Fear of the Dark
Abandonment
Nothing moves, save the mould and microscopic tentacles of decay We sit and wait - Watch the fabric of existence tear itself apart All will crumble eventually, the walls, the roof - the sky fall in on us Empty space, hard wood, time splintering between the cracks of abandonment No truth is real, no lie … Continue reading Abandonment
Autumn Song
When leaves of autumn gold fall down, nights draw in, and cold surrounds, there is a fire within my heart that burns away when we're apart. And when the wind blows from the north - it's icy breath so old and coarse - through tendril sleep and night so long, it's in your arms that … Continue reading Autumn Song
Into the Blue
Dear Oscar, I wanted to make a post that will remind you of your first steps into the vast, blue yonder, And for you to know how small we both were against the mighty ocean. One day you’ll sail on imaginary winds, Fight pirates with wooden sword unsheathed, hopping one-legged with your friends. You’ll … Continue reading Into the Blue
Chameleon
Chameleon I change into the surroundings, melt into the night - can you feel my poison breath upon your neck, so slight? I am always watching you, never knowing where I hide; invisible – betrayed - by your design, my blood runs cold inside. I may reside among you, you may be blessed to know, … Continue reading Chameleon
Apocalypse How…???
For many years writers and moviemakers have enjoyed bestowing terror on the masses with their predictions of Armageddon and apocalypse, but what are the chances of life imitating art? I decided to look into the common themes and rate the chances of such events actually happening (Note: there is no scientific formulation to any of … Continue reading Apocalypse How…???
What’s the soundtrack to your writing?
Music has always played a vital role in my writing process. Certain songs help to visualise key events in a story, even to the point that I find myself acting out a scene (complete with dialogue) with the track playing in the background. I'm sure this is not a new or unique approach to writing, … Continue reading What’s the soundtrack to your writing?
