《Leslie's Poems》DESIRE
Advertisement
dwelling forever in the hearts’ deepest desires
recall now what you said to me all those years ago
do you want?
Do you yearn?
Did you ever care?
Recall it again and again and again
You could scarcely remember
Something burning on the back of your throat
who do i go to where am i oh god oh god what do i do
who am i
Thoughts surge endlessly on the fingertips of your skull, pushing and brimming and overwhelming and you forget how to breathe
I can't I can't I can't take it anymore
Push on further and twist like a sphere turned inside out
Recall it
Again and again and again
No monsters here there are no monsters here only a prisoner of your own making tormented by your own mind
Discuss and rattle on with the old one
Splitter splatter and shatter my bones
Stick her in the tub and let her thaw out for a moment
Thieves thick as thorns thought of a clever way to steal a darling rose
Keep her up
keep it up
keep it
keep
kept
Me
no one kept me
All imagined all imagined
all alone you wanted all alone you just wanted to see her face again
I pity you, but should I?
That's the way it is
oh
that's life
The blood dripped quick and fast
How did we get here?
Quicker faster pouring out of the wounds
You wanted to feel the right way
oh please
let me feel the proper way
But you grinned and laughed

Lost In Translation
If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me. You may have heard my Names in the stories, the songs, and the whispers of the road. Perhaps you've even seen me during my travels, speaking to a bird of blue light, or on a city street, performing small acts for coin and repute. Or perhaps you may know me as the Skystrider, who walked with the wind. Or the Voiceless, a man of song without speech. You may know me as the Tutor, who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, or the Traveler, who has walked all the roads of the earth. I am all of these things. And people have branded me a myth. But people don't understand what a myth is. They haven't heard the songs lost to our tongues, nor have they seen the things I've seen. They haven't gone to the places I've gone. My feet have walked the plains, the seas, and the clouds. I have spoken languages unspoken; tongues lost to time. I have sung to the earth, held the moon in my arms, and walked the roads that your heroes hesitate to even mention. I have outwitted Demons. I have danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts the likes of which you have never seen. These are what real myths are. And me? I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick. Discord link here. [Disclaimer: Book 1 of this story will likely be published in KU by around the start of 2022, so please keep that in mind. Book 2 and onwards will continue here until they are published as well.]

Black Core Summoner
He remembered that it hurt. Gaining power hurt. No one ever warns you about the pain that comes before or after. The blinding torture that racked his body for centuries was nothing compared to losing — well ... everyone. He supposed he should have known things wouldn’t work out in the end — things rarely do for Gods.

Origin Point
Arc 1 - Azzarath:Origin Point begins with a celebration of the arrival of an Immortal, male kitsune. Whereupon he begins to spin the tale of his origins to a gathered crowd well into such a celebration. The story he weaves begins upon his first world, our Earth, where his first body is dying from something incurable. He is then transferred into a game-like world, and gains a new body that is far stronger. However, this game-like world has its own secrets, which causes the MC to be summoned to a new world. It is here, in this new world, where his personality really comes forth, shaking the world to its very core.Arc 2 - Terra:The story continues with the kitsune's new audience, an army of monsters, as they journey from the forests of Nu'Bai and onwards towards the Lichdom known solely as Necropolis. Whereupon they learn of how he conquered worlds within an area known only as The Abyss. There, his past self meets new creatures and annoyances, as he and his continue to grow ever closer to obtaining their world called Terra. Arc 3 - Abyss:War. The end result in a conflict of words which fall upon deafened ears of those who could not come to an understanding; an agreement. Instead, they must fight one another so that one must come out on top in order to shout to the heavens, "I am right; you are wrong!" Thus is the same in this installment within the series of Origin Point, but instead of outright war, the Ageless speaks to a new audience of Gods, Goddesses, Immortals, and their children of how his past self had to venture into the tutorial world known as Terra where he must fight a War of Attrition. This is so, as he must draw out the God reigning over their world so that he may fight and conquer this deity in order to regain what he desires most. His world. His Terra.Special Thanks to Christian Bentulan for creating the covers for Origin Point.https://www.facebook.com/coversbychristian/___________________________________________________________Origin Point was inspired by the games Everquest and D&D, along with the book series Dragonlance, and the light novel Overlord.This story is a dark fantasy full of torturous experiences.

Uprising - the half fiends story
3000 years ago demons invaded. The battle between good and evl was short. Evil won. Now a few free cities live in fear and in hiding. Scared of those who rule and the taint that spreads not just across the world but within their societies as well the world fell into gloom and despair as some races massacres, some farmed like animals as food sources and some became the tools and expendable resources of the fiends. Traditional enemies are enemies no more. All struggle to survive against the fiends, and old enmities and stories from the past are just that, stories, of no impact. All those not part of the fiendish hierarchy struggle to survive, and in that struggle the few free, hidden cities are the last refuges.
