(Poem) Song of the Siren

/ Toxicwriter / Leave a comment

They say that her voice sounded heavenly.
They say she dwells in the sea.
I decided to find her.
She couldn’t be that far.

I sailed across the sea of people,
Into territory I’ve never felt presence.
The sea turned calm, all seemed normal.
That’s when I heard her voice.

She parted the sea with her sweet sound.
It was true as they said.
Her beauty matched her heavenly voice.
I was drawn to her instantly.

The sea erupted into chaos,
But her voice was all I could hear.
I let these problems go,
Because she is all I can now see.

(Poem) We Give the Orders

A group of us, in a circle.
We ruin the lives of those we envy.
They call us heartless,
Maybe we are.
Do I speak for all of us?
A group of us, in this circle.
We try to make perfection.
They call us nobodies, but aren’t we somebody?
A group of us, in a dwindling circle.
Our ides started to differ.
Perhaps we aren’t all together.
Were we ever?
A group of us, in a circular room.
Our graves state our true identities.
Through death, we now know who is somebody.

(Poem) Ballad of the Dark

We are here to snuff out those of Light.
Our war wages in the farthest depths of the galaxy.
This hero from our rival’s blood thinks he stands a chance,
But he is nothing and filled with idiocy.
The hero has been taught by the best,
He moves with agility and grace.
This is what was prophesized,
And it is him whom we must erase.
Our family versus that last of theirs.
Darkness will envelope all.
The hero and his family have no opportunity,
Over Lightning we will stand tall.
It’s not a matter of good versus evil.
It is what our founding father did
So we will follow that example.
The first Dark Elementalist, Sid.

Poem based on the events of Elements of Lightning and Elements of Blood

Sleepless post: Those That Never Change

/ Toxicwriter / Leave a comment

Disclaimer: Late Night/Sleepless post.
I write about so many characters in my stories that all have different personalities and usually adapt how they act to their respective environments.
I have to laugh when I see people I know always making the same decisions, regardless of who they hurt. It’s crazy that some people can’t change honestly. It is a fact I already knew, but recent circumstances has shown it again.
Characters that seem unmoving in their mindset could always have a different story away from narration. People can, however, be seen and heard a lot more often.

Writing Interference and Resolutions

/ Toxicwriter / Leave a comment

Well, life seriously throws curve balls at you. Suddenly find myself having to move soon again. Hope it doesn’t interfere too much with my writing, but it may. I still want my third novel done by the end of Spring.
What I’ve learned in the past couple weeks is to choose who you put your trust in carefully. You don’t want to end up in a situation that sucks with any choice you make due to others. At least I have more trustworthy people back where I’m heading.
I want to at least write two to three blogs a week, and stream about the same. I hope to begin uploading my streams to YouTube and Facebook. This year I plan to be more active in getting myself out there as an author. Cheers to the rest of 2015!

Steam and Twitch

/ Toxicwriter / Leave a comment

I’m a writer that loves playing video games. Loads of fantasy and science fiction inspiration can come from playing video games.

I’ve streamed a bit on Twitch, but I hope to stream just about everything I play. I play a lot of single player games and some multiplayer ones. Some games include: Borderlands series, Garry’s Mod, Alan Wake, Don’t Starve Together, The Forest, and more.

Feel free to add me on Steam to follow what I’m playing and check out my library, or follow my Twitch to see when I’m streaming.
