A Promise and A PledgeLife is a burning glass of water Dredged from the Fountain of Youth I am Osiris, looking for my Isis Resurrect me, and walk with me On my crystalline bones Dig the splinters from under my eyelids Replace every one of them with a frozen carpenters nail Adorn me with a necklace of gold-tipped needles Seventy will reveal a new truth And hold tight Strap us down My plasma calms me, a visual massage I swear I wont look back, I wont turn to salt Calamity claims our souls, ever and again We are heat incarnate; molten, viscous passion.A Promise and A Pledge


Playthings of the Gods Page 2The gods were a need-to-know cooperation. Isaac did not know what the future held for the Intended or himself, but eons of grudging obedience had slaked him of curiosity. He trudged to the destination the same way he trudged through life.Playthings of the Gods Page 2

There was her decision,
and how she would make the next.


PresumptuousMarried a week before he hit the sand.Presumptuous
Knew a year alone, found sufficiency.
He came home aflame and hit the switches.
A little fear, a bit of bliss, too much unexpected.
