Blood Feud

Covet sibling’s fortunes
Devious machinations born
Traitor to the name
Family shattered
Enemies converge
Broken covenant
Bloody sea
A survivor
Upon stranger shores
Vengeance in the heart
Wrath upon the Judas.

-

Giants

Dark expanse
Undulating desert
Alone
A singular sail boat
Titans beneath
Thunderous breaths
Curiosity at an outsider
They wave
Ocean trembles
The giants submerge
Moonlight marks their path.

-

Secrets

Hidden truths
Buried in dirt
Fragile shoulders burdened
Cannot reveal
Catastrophe peeking
A moment of weakness
Secrets at dawn
Rising from the foundations
Consequences decreed
Sentenced to damnation
Noble intentions withers.

-

Distant Affair

Love story begins
Emotions aflame
Time steps in
Life divided
Promises made
Distances so far
Said it would last
Hearts extend
Yearning preoccupied
Failure rises
Guilty farewell.

-

Siblings

Argue
Fight
Tease
Testing patience
Sanity threatened
Practical jokes too far
From children to adults
Apologies in the end
Bonded by blood
Stand together
Sibling love.

-

Ocean

Stranger in the sea
Islands shimmer
Brief salvation
Home a whisper
Horizon borders
Sanity a twig
Madness the gale
Currents and waves dissuade
Swim on
Energy reserves low
Sink into oblivion.

-

Kingdom

The hammer falls
Verdict final
Guilty I am
Sentenced
Caged
Fresh meat
General population
Hyenas in the yard
Many kings
I serve no one
Become a bloody lion.

-

Exam

Ancient wall clock
Tick tock
Teachers stalk the aisles
Students focused
Questions and answers
Practise and homework
Hours studied
Social life zero
Price to pay
Results decide
The future path.

-

Driver

Windows down
Night cool breeze
Keep awake
Spirits warmth
Temptation to snooze
Eyelids droop
Cars scream
Micro nap shattered
Metal and flesh tumble
Innocent stains the asphalt
Sober and guilt remain.

-

Digital Immortal

Expire date closing
Download the mind
New body
My own choosing
Beautiful immortal
Bargain price
Glitches begin
Parts break down
Cannot die
Stuck inside
Digital nightmare.
