Water and Salt

Water and salt…  it’s not my faultThe ship didn’t heed when ordered to halt.Now here we are, terribly farFrom all that we need.  Weak from the assault,Living and yet, hungry and wet,Crash-landed alone, each creature a threat.Strange and bizarre, alien starI should not have known…  this trip I regret.                                                                      |           |                                                             Written […]

Crisis Averted

The bells, klaxon alarms and lights have ceased,While radiation levels have decreased.            It seems our efforts to cool down            The core were a success.            Crisis averted, soon the town            Will come back to assessThe damage done.  They have a chance, at least.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Secret Temple, uploaded to […]

Biomass

Entwining squid and squirming fish,Writhing cell cultures in a dishOf algae.  Fungal samples squishAnd churn in symbiosis.Marrow from creatures long-since passedAnd ancient forest rot amassedCreate energy, but won’t last(Forgive me if this grosses).                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Biosphere | Fantasy Music for Brainstorming, uploaded to YouTube in 2024 by Michael […]

These Little Rhyming Scraps

These little rhyming scraps at timesCan keep me up at night,As I play with these little rhymesUntil the morning light.But it is worth each couplet, verseAnd iamb to createAn epic ode or scrap most terse,To muse and demon sate.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to calm your thoughts, uploaded to YouTube in […]

Anemone

I’m building up and reaching outAnd holding on, without a doubt,To all the blessings caught throughoutMy anemone home.Into the air I rise and stretchMy hands like tentacles, to fetchAnother miracle.  I’ll etchMy name on this biome.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Persia – Ancient Journey Fantasy Music, uploaded to YouTube in […]

On the Edge of Darkness

I’m on the edge of darkness,Looking into the abyss.Salt and crushing weight I kissAs I revel at the starknessOf this underwater biome.I find nothing here amiss,Wrapped in underwater blissIn the place that I call my home.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Hidden City – Ethereal Space Ambient Music, uploaded to YouTube […]

Like Reading Underwater

Like reading underwater, suchIs living through the day.The cold and pressure can be muchFor those who’ve lost their way.And salty water makes the inkBegin to bleed and blur.It’s time to turn the page, I think(As dry land I prefer).                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening to Dark Academia Piano for Relaxation, uploaded to […]

A Little Bit of Silence

A little bit of silence.  NoLoud music to drown outThe fear of things I do not knowOr whispers of self-doubt.No static to come in betweenMe and what matters most.A bit of silence can be seenAs God’s loving riposte.                                                                               |           |                                                                              Written while listening nothing at all.

Seaside Sanctuary

Within my seaside sanctuaryThere is nothing dark or scary,Only extraordinaryAnimals and plant life.Far to the south, past endless treesAnd swarms of butterflies and bees,My sanctuary by the seasIs free from needless strife. Written while still playing the Planet Crafter (2024).

Secret Keys

Just when I thought that I was done,A key appeared to me,A secret I have just begunTo understand, you see.I’m ready to leave orbit, please,And to my planet go.But first I need the secret keysThat unlock… I don’t know. Written while still playing the Planet Crafter (2024).
