When Worlds Collide
They were right to make Shiva a dancer.
Destruction unfortunately is a topic that is often avoided in our society. Vilified, antagonized and as such believed to be an unnatural force in nature.
But this is far from the truth.
I believe violence and destruction like all things has its place. The difficult part about violence and destruction …
The Real Kind of Love
The real kind of love
I’m falling in love.
No really,
I’m falling deeply in love.
It’s not the kind of love that gets you high
Cause you to scratch your skin,
And make you lose all aspired dreams.
It’s the real kind of love!
The kind that will make you lose your sleep,
Just so your muses don’t cease. (Pause)
The kind of love …

I Wait
By Daniel Bay
I wait
It never crossed my mind that my feelings would some day be enthroned in the boardroom of my chaotic mind. As my self-abducted mind, struggles to untangle its formless muse, my feelings refuse to allow even my most minuscule expression to unfold unless the core has been articulated with truth. So I …

By Joana Cook

Moment of Unveiling
By Daniel Bay
How about a standing ovation!
A round of applause!
So shall it be on that very hour as the curtains unfold. On the hour of completion! The moment of unveiling, like a groom unveiling the beauty that causes arteries to bestow it’s rage; the hour where you will reach the pinnacle of your metamorphosis.
That’s …
Have You Ever Waited?
By Daniel Bay
Have you ever waited for a moment of approval?
Indulging into insanity for unmerited entrance,
Exhausting all might for acceptance
While disintegrating all ego as proof of your commitment.
Have you ever?
Have u ever beat your will into submission,
Enslaving your pride for a chance at redemption,
…for committing the unforgivable.
Have you ever?
Have you ever lost your credibility for …
The Prism’s Dilemma
By Kai Charette
Hard earth broken through
A diamond-tipped lazer
Pierces my water filled eyes
A natural behaviour
Through the water I feel it swelling
They’ll keep drilling if we don’t get a hit
For centuries we’ve endeavoured
Yet still the torch is lit
Hard earth broken through
The operations over and
They’ve struck a vein they say
So we’ll send over our equipment
Then laugh and collect …
