《Ephemera | poetry》|Graves|
Advertisement
With an aura smoked pearly white,
And fingers wisps of star-crossed trails;
The moon burned oddly bright tonight,
To keep those lurking shadows at bay
The leaves crackled with delight,
As thewind finally swept them away,
The roses withered in despair;
They were left alone on these graves
The soil whispered secrets across,
Of the peace-less souls resting within,
Buried under the weight of lust;
That kept them even up in graves
The souls that swept on the ground,
Leaving stamps of their ashen fate,
Cursed to wander days on earth;
No rest in their homely graves
The longing eyes of a lonesome child,
Fixed along those iron gates;
Desperately waiting for the love,
Helplessly lost to by fate to graves
The whimper of a lover's heart,
Stitched in threads of loss and pain;
Yearning for the clocks to run,
For eternity love had found in graves
A common home for people unknown,
With the same agony of living in haste;
secrets buried deep in the hearts,
That still beat in the silence of graves
To sleep that comes to me at night,
and peace that I yearn to chase
have I forgotten the galring end,
When I one day would sleep in graves.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

With the princess's knowledge of the future and Kaelum's... Uh hard work, they vow to change the future! This is a screwed-up time travel tale. I also post on Tapastic : https://tapas.io/series/SToTT

Deviant's Masquerade: Get Ink'd (A Toon Villain Quest/RPG)
Joshua Durand has always lived in someone else’s shadow, a side character in someone else’s show.His brother was the real hero of the tale, or he was until his ‘friends’ stabbed him in the back.Now though, he’s got a chance to step into the spotlight, as long as he’s willing to make a deal with the devil.He doesn’t know if this is the right decision or the wrong one, but what he does know is “It’s showtime!” --- This is forum quest story taking place in the same city/setting as my other stories: The Huntsman's Quest and Hacking Reality stories meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
