  • Master of Rage

    I stand atop a furious peak,On a mountain made of the circuitry of nightmares,Master of Rage,Commander of Madness,I stand my ground,Through eons untold.I’ve made my stay,Here on this mountain,Since the moon was a young man,Since the humans,Were first flung into existence,Since before mighty steel met titanic flint,And struck the sun alight.And here I stand, continuously,On…

  • The Book of Ashes

    You filled the air,With your ravings and lunacies,And I copied it all down,In my Book of Ashes.My Book of Ashes is a rarity indeed,Parchments of goat-skin,From the most ancient,And unknown,Of Egyptian crypts.Thread made of sinews,From a griffin,Who has long since taken wing,To soar over the mountains of the dead.Ink made from ashes from the burning,Of…

  • In the Eyes of a Most Heartless Fate

    Fate, fortune, destiny,They drive us, they hasten us,Down our avenues of circumstance,That assign us eachOur personal histories,That we are remembered by.And it was fate, fortune, destiny,That hurried you along,In your vile and spiteful quest,Your heinous malevolence,Your ill-natured plan,To destroy me once and for all. And my destruction was complete,A kind word, a good meal,A vial…

    I never thoughtI’d dance again.Never thoughtI’d come out of my shroud,Or that the lightOf the celestial candle,That gives us each day,Would brush againstThe no-more grin,I now hold forever.Never thoughtMy friends and my family,Would laugh with me,Eat and drink with me,Twirl me round and round,As I rattle and reel and jigIn time to the music,From a…

  • Boneman / Orchestra

    by

    There’s a bone man conducting the orchestra,Waving his bone baton,A dowel of ulna from a long dead composer,In the hand of this relic of the Italian Lully.He swings his wand,In a time signature replete with evil portent,Driving the deranged orchestra,Full of dementia and mayhem,To a score written,By the devil himself.The orchestra plays,They blow and they…

    ‘m currently in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a very scenic place. There is lots to look at here – the countryside is very beautiful, the mountains are gorgeous, and there are plenty of parks with hiking trails, waterfalls, beautiful forests, etc. So one thing I didn’t expect to find here was an abandoned coal mine. It’s probably…

    Incredible macro photography from Nadav Bagim, of Israel. He sets up miniature scenes on his kitchen table, adds an insect or two, and the results are nothing less than fantastic. The color that he manages to bring out in his photos is amazing in it’s own right, but add that to the nature of each…

    Here I stand,Once again,On my tiny speck of dust.Peering out of the blackness,Looking at the lights,With a heart full of wonder.And just for an instant,I perceive the Cosmos,And I blow the stars awayLike dandelion seeds.

    A small whale washed up on the beach here in Wilmington. It apparently is a Minke Whale. There is no cause of death at the moment, but officials from the local aquarium are picking up the carcass at some point to do a necropsy. The whale was torn up quite a bit, with a huge…
