Tears. A poem.

September 17, 2018September 15, 2018 Laidback DM

Succinct and retrospect, mercury lines connecting dots, snaking and entwined, ‘tween valleys and hills, pooling at the feet: drowned confetti dreams. I write a lot of poems, some from my head, some from my heart. Many don’t appear on this … Continue reading Tears. A poem.

Fumes of You. A poem.

September 16, 2018September 10, 2018 Laidback DM

Your scent was different, lingering in my nostrils, a whiff of nostalgic free fall and extra sensory motion. The fumes of you twisted around me and consumed every pore and fibre of my unwholesome being. Should I have let that … Continue reading Fumes of You. A poem.

Moon Thoughts. A poem.

September 15, 2018September 7, 2018 Laidback DM

The moon waxes and wanes, in afterthoughts of the bitter-sweet variety. My wanderings have brought me closer to an undistinguished end, and yet still I cling to the filaments of monopolised undertakings. Moonlight fill my spirit, build it up in … Continue reading Moon Thoughts. A poem.

Make Your Way. A poem.

September 13, 2018 Laidback DM

Indecision rules in every fool, the uninspired and undecided. Confusion reigns and fear sustains the paltry and the parodied. Mark this day, make your way from the aimless and objectionable. I write a lot of poems, some from my head, … Continue reading Make Your Way. A poem.

September 12, 2018September 18, 2018 Laidback DM

Like many time-poor DMs, I’m always on the lookout for new monster books so … Continue reading The Laidback DM: Big Books of Monsters – mini-reviews

Anvil. Part 19.

September 11, 2018September 10, 2018 Laidback DM

Shi-Cho smiles grimly as Flotsam station appears in the transteel cockpit window. At this distance it is little more than a tiny spinning tin can, a shining diamond against the charcoal disk of the planet below. Captain Hansen, seated in … Continue reading Anvil. Part 19.

Died Inside. A poem.

September 10, 2018September 4, 2018 Laidback DM

And as I slowly died inside within the canny matrices of my mind, I came to understand it all everything I’d ever been done and seen, as if every strand was a flower bud opening for the first time. And … Continue reading Died Inside. A poem.

September 6, 2018August 30, 2018 Laidback DM

Why concern yourself with where you walk? I am just a reed beneath your heel cracking until broken, outlined in your footprint. I write a lot of poems, some from my head, some from my heart. Many don’t appear on … Continue reading Heel. A poem.
