Before you read this, I wish you to know, That hope lies within us all, That the greatest keeper of hope is faith, And that through faith, we draw strength to face the darkest of trials. Despite our beliefs. Faithless (A haunting) Drip… Drip… Fear falls and tears drop No leaps to take No faith…

Love’s bane #Haibun
Colleen’s weekly challenge. Love’s bane. If you have to look, you will never see If you have seen, you need only to look. Dark sinister night Bullfrogs croak and crickets chirp Prequels to silence Your heartbeat flutters I can feel it in the dark My subconscious is attuned to its rhythm All those nights we’ve…
Encounters from Beyond. (A short story)

what do you see #36 . Silence stalked us It slithered in our wake Ahiss with menace Jane shifted uneasily as we set up the equipment Her expression foreboding, I could feel it too A presence that skulked in the shadows Gripping that room in a vice-like stillness Our very breathing, an intrusion But we’d…

Midday! The sun ablaze, searing with brightness!but in that hall, it’s dark as nighthearths line the wall, fire flickers!lightless, warmless flames!like yellow ribbons eerily fluttering in windless cornersShe stands in this pale darknessShe doesn’t see farbut what she cannot see, she senses!she feels! smells! hears!Sorcery saturates within the air,things dwell in the shadows of this…
Disguised in Love (fiction and poetry)
She loves me! She loves me not! My fear chokes hope in its noxious grip they dance in a deadly tet-a-tet along my fragile heartstrings She wants me! Oh yes she does! But for what I do not know I feel it in my bones a warning, ominous and yet exciting an icy sinister chill…

A Bitter Surprise (haibun poetry and prose)
it all started but moments ago i was wrenched from the thralls of a blissful dream and dumped in the bitter dregs of reality I can almost taste the sweetness of fantasy turn sour as this living nightmare manifests A scream! shreds through the night air ripping the silence apart and piercing deep into my…
