Do not wish death upon another being; That is far too LIGHT a punishment! Ensure instead that they become your slave. For the joy of dominance, Lasts an eternity!

What have you said at 3 am?

Eyelids are heavy, thoughts heavier, feelings heaviest and they say- many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness, maybe this starlit conversation, you'll discover the thing he fears most, with those sandbag eyes and train wreck sentences, is losing you.

Death

People are here and then they are not. we brush our teeth, hold hands, workout everyday all the while forgetting that these temporary mechanisms, these compilations of pleasures and blood, of bones and bruises, of vessels and kisses are just hosts for a party of angels and demons. I am here to talk about a boy that I loved. The one I held in my hands like a baby as he breathed like a leaf sunburned by the June sun and died. he held on to me, more than physically, begging me to understand that we, as human beings are not bodies with souls, but we are instead souls with bodies.

Ashes on a Grave

Hand rolled cigarettes, yellowed fingertips liver overworked, waiting outside in the cold sunshine reception desk, awaiting request, clipboard and swinging hips "This is your mother?" Yeah, that's mine nurses with red ruby lips, stomp embers out, it'll all be fine swallow the cup of bitter pills, fifty second visit of 1959 Weekly, my mother gets to see me ever since I became a made man I made time dementia makes her lose track, she's old and weakly she doesn't remember her own five sons, in her mind I never did a crime I'm paying all her bills, but family doesn't come freely she thinks I'm my father, a deadbeat I never knew, she's staying here on my dime! A man who failed to raise me, that's what I get, every tender moment ends with her asking for her husband throwing the knife into my heart like spit I kill myself to drive out here, to channel the dead go back and channel violence onto any poor mook's head break bones, break safes, break bottles and then break bread and I mean

8 Tips for Composing Each Chapter of Your Novel

8 Tips for Composing Each Chapter of Your Novel Anybody Can Write a Novel 2.0 Chapter 7 “Editing” – Section 1 “The Chapter” “Many first-time novelists end up rewriting their first two or three chapters, trying to get them 'just right.' But the point of the first draft is not to get it right; it's to get it written - so that you'll have something to work with.” -Matt Hughes Recently, we've been working on all of the plot-points contained within a story and what function they serve to the overall plot. And if you've been following along with the “Write-A-Novel” exercises, and writte

dreamer

by all the gods, is she lovely— the sweetest lullaby i have ever heard. and her fingertips soothe this raging nightmare which roars inside, a decaying dragon that one too many knights have slain. if i could worship at her feet i would. alas, her temple is guarded by pale clouds and a witch's moonlight; only ravens may find their way into her tower and break her chains with a featherweight kiss. i do not feel her embrace every time the darkness whispers. no, it is only when the ice in my veins burns hotter than the sun and my voice is lost in the supernova that hides itself behind a black hole. it is only then that she is there,

Regeneration

Every day was a new start for my sister. She always woke with a refreshed soul, ready for the day ahead with a confident smile and a positive attitude. Her glow would infect everyone else like the plague, repairing the damage my glower had done as I'd trudged through the corridors ahead of her. It was no wonder she was always the 'popular one'. I didn't mind. Why would I? I never liked being the centre of attention anyway... She always saw the best in people whilst I always saw the worst. Maybe it was what nature intended; one optimist, one pessimist per family. I didn't mind that either. It didn't matter to me. She didn't matter to me. Whic

Feeding Time...

Feeding Time at the Sultan's Menagerie My mother is a hyena and when the men come to feed us she makes a terrible noise that I can hear even from across the zoo, but they think it is laughter and they don't know that it is her saying the same thing she always does: "More, more! Why isn't there more?" She cannot help herself; She is a scavenger. When I was born, she picked me up in jaws that can crush an elephant femur and for a second, the keepers that watched her held their breath, thinking she was about to eat me. Somehow I was spared and even the poison of her saliva, the festering bacteria that kills days later, only

because i'm like a relapse (of you or youth)

baby blues cannot cure suicide agendas. all these poets do is wither, wither, waste - decomposing bones just enough to trade them in for words & kill them cell by cell & conversations bloom between my tongue & teeth or two choice vertebrae; thoughts burst like blood vessels, like self disgust (i am more catatonic than i am catastrophic).
