For whatever reason these four short scifi stories are interconnected. It was never my intention nor concept, these stories were written at different times in my life; yet they all speak to the philosophy & concepts of reality, creation, chaos, order, and individuality.

“Forgive the trembling love,
I’m weak and acting bold
And alone”
The rhythmic and melodic layering in this song is amazing. The atmosphere it radiates chills you.
In blur, farther
Glanced over stirred
Imagined you laughing
Muddied feet dancing
What is this aching prism?
This prison wincing
Receiving sudden swaths of dogma
Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again
(What does daylight look like?)
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
(What does daylight look like?)
Solitude and falling into respites now
In blur, hovered
Accepted devotion
Unearthed, bleeding ark of creation
Wandering over royal yonder
Wandering over flooded ground again
(What does daylight look like?)
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
(What does daylight look like?)
Solitude and falling into respites now
(What does daylight look like?)
What does daylight look like in this chaos of cold?
(What does daylight look like?)
Solitude and falling into respites now
Forgive the trembling love,
I’m weak and acting bold
And alone

Energy
Given freely
Is as breathing
For me
Understanding
Until now, ive had so much of it
But, frankly
I
Am
Utterly
Exhausted
I
Speak Truth
I
Endless hope
I
Set
Boundries
I
Don’t give up
……Why do I feel guilty?
Truth
I
am
prey
Human predators smell empathy
As
Sharks smell blood in the water
Allowing myself to be used
without equal reciprocity
Used
Endless cycle(s) of neglect
Affection to weapon
Sex to Weapon
Shrunk as weapon
Tool of endless emotional grounding
Control
Power
Stability
Comfort
I
Am
Tired
…….So very very tired
And I’m afraid
I
Have
Changed
I
Am
Broken
Victim
Survivor
Pariah
Empathy is a curse
