Him

He is the most beautiful storm in the perfect time of day Where you have nowhere to go, so you can sit and listen to it pour. He is the tender leaf on a newly formed plant That you know will become something beautiful someday. He is that piece of sand that gets trapped That...

From Placid to Hate

Twisted vines all around her, as she searched in vain for an exit. Since there wasn't one, and she wasn't willing to hurt herself to leave, she stayed. For days she sat, with no food to eat, nothing to drink, and finally succumbed to the bitter cold and malnourishment. Silly, don't you think, to face...

Rest In Obscurity

Delicious Absentia

He relishes in the untouched, the unclean. He has no teeth, nor morality. Wears the same bib overalls day after glorious day, spraying them every once in a while with cologne, so someone thinks he is clean. His name is Absentia.. This is his story..   Tick tock, his watch is chiming Once he sees...
