Birds of Prey by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Birds of Prey

Just as the words begin to cut Through the skin, blowing the hut Away Powerful thoughts begin to pour, To bleed out from the Brain What if my wings are there? What if my instincts do keep My integrity? Break the glass, jump out the window Kick and crush the captors Against the walls Wings batting, fly away You’ve all dreamed about It, don’t deny It – You’re birds of prey All the shadows and illnesses End with this adrenaline rush And A light emerges deep from within Heart and soul finally Meld What if I really can beat the odds? What if the power is there, waiting To be released? Break away, then break their bones S

The Fire Pride by RailZombie, literature

Literature

The Fire Pride

Gazelles grazing Throughout the plains The lions blazing Under the Sun And the predator’s eyes –Spotlights on the stage – Fixated on his prey His mane still flaring The same, an omen and living proof Of things both bad and good A need to strive At the cost of Innocent lives He didn't hunt, he’d lost the right And while the others fed Their manes glowed as city lights In the dark of the night, Deaf to his stomach's growling His mane begins to decay, like a bonfire In the morning light His once majestic flames Shimmering faintly, merely An old, rusty crown And such is life itself He understands It’s his turn to

Simple Joys by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Simple Joys

The song of a bird The curtains, so thin yet they beat the Sun The darkness they create A song from the heart A word written down The praise I don’t get The praise that I get but don’t deserve A kiss on the cheek A hug after months A bug on the rug, causing despair The pairs of shoes you never wear A hair on my soup It's a free meal The heart that I gave you The one I took back In small chunks The grey hair that ladies like The lady that loves you Although she prefers it dark A drop of water Pouring rain A thunderstorm, sitting outside A goal achieved Only to start all over

Midnight At Noon by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Midnight At Noon

I had so much it was insignificant. And you looked so pretty. The Earth orbited the Sun For quite a while – I broke all the glasses in the house I was so mad, I had to go and dig my bones out. Think of me as a river, I promise I’ll save someone’s life; Or maybe a mountain – I could sit there and look pretty. When I was a child I’d wake up at noon, I would day dream about you – And now that midnight’s come I forgot to water the plants. I once was sad, But the mask fit for a few hours. I heard they caught the bird, That at noon he got away. But at midnight, they say Someone found his wings – So

Fossils by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Fossils

The heart grew old – Through the experience gained, And all the skills that weren’t claimed. In its throne it sat stretching and shrinking, Widening, then withering. Rusty crown in hand, Ruminating on old insecurities and vanities, Thrashing himself Over the ones freshly declared. He dug through odds and ends. New, old treasures – an insult, and an embrace That never came. He moved out of the situation, packed the sweet And sour mementos; Then begged the light not to leave, Took his sword and desperately, Innocently, urgently – sought a minimal ration of affection, But instead he cut her sleeve. I found myself relaxi

Babel - Introduction by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Babel - Introduction

The sky over Houston was clear. The skyscrapers on the horizon looked no bigger than mere ants, serving only as a backdrop to the immense man-made mountain that was the International Macroscopic Mass Accelerator. The project –in development since the year 2194 – was humanity’s pride encased in a single, massive tube, which stretched out for several hundreds of miles slightly sloped upwards. Its length crossed several electromagnetic rings (or electrodes), which would serve the purpose of manipulating and accelerating electrically charged objects through the tunnel. The last stretch was bent even further upwards, out

Continuum by RailZombie, literature

Literature

Continuum

I read the problem, Plug in the numbers. I place the elements On the vellum Write them down One by one. Was taught negatively By the world, But think in terms Of positive infinity So we cancelled Each other out. They’ve always said Add the same to both sides And when I multiply You’ll divide. Soul plus body Equals one. The variable could Be anyone But it’s you, I double-checked, And the Answer is right.

The Essence by RailZombie, literature

Literature

The Essence

The Essence I sought the knowledge that Would enable me to understand What it means to be alive. I learned about bonds, I learned about reactions, And also about force. I searched all the right places, Asked erudite scholars and sages, I learned about evolution, Computations and the Big Bang. But the more my mind expanded, The less I understood. For if it is all true, Where’s the essence that leaves Once I’m gone and through?

One Missing Gear by RailZombie, literature

Literature

One Missing Gear

Sunbeams tap on our window like the spotlight's on me – offering light, life, and a splendid welcoming tree. By looking around I can tell our living room is a big puzzle which is missing one small piece. On the significance of this bit: what could I say that would make justice to this emotion I feel ? Perhaps that this house is at the moment a clock of grandiose workmanship. With its motor, and gears lubricated to perfection, but not producing one "tock" nor one "tick". And synchronized in such a manner, that – well, would portray perfection if – if it would otherwise not be missing its most vital piece.

The Grove by RailZombie, literature

Literature

The Grove

He swept the leaves from a balding tree Made way for autumn after it’d just left Kicked rocks with a winding thump And flew kites When the wind didn't blow He rode the horse through the decrepit grove The black cape swirling in endless coil When to die mattered as much As letting the milk get spoiled And it was possible because He had all the time in the world He passed by the weather-beaten cabin The long, black hair soaring in endless coil In the midst of the battered grove At a speed that made lines of leaves And deaths of lives Some scorched, some merely torn The minds that contemplated the curse Ended up crawling in through the
