A ray of bold, gold overhead light
pierces my eye like an arrow and
plants its jagged dart in soft gray matter
that’s already red and tender.
I wince, and that’s when
the air-conditioning roars to life,
a manic commotion of muscle cars
that batters both my ears in booming
throbs that rock and rattle my eardrums.
Then, three knocks at my bedroom door
are stones that strike me square on the right
temple. “Leemmee alone,” calls out a voice
(it must be mine) to turn away
the uninvited guest, since now I know
I’ll have to drop out of the world for
two or three good hours, at least.
The light keeps burning, and I stumble
upwards out of the recliner, swimming
through a haze of blazing incandescent
yellow hellfire.
My eyes squeeze shut. A hand
(it must be mine) clamps itself over my face
to muffle the dull red daylight glow
that still seeps through the lowered lids.
Another hand, groping, finds the light switch.
A blissful sigh.
O sweet, blessed darkness,
how I worship thee.

Magic - Casting and Royalty
You may remember two of the Children I wrote about long ago, Saken and Kiya. While their personalities have been completely revamped in my mind, their existence has not. Kiya is listed as the "Child of Magic," for instance, and this is still the case, but it's not quite as simple as that. To be more clear, Saken, the "Child of Skill," is the avatar of internal mastery. Anything that requires skill, practise, reflexes with the body fall under his domain. Physical combat is just one facet, along with cooking, weaving, drawing, and anything else that you can think of that you yourself do. Kiya, as Saken's opposite, claims as her domain EXT

the age of atlantropa (unfinished)
On april 6th 2022 after years of deliberation Ukraine and Georgia are fully accepted as NATO members. In response to what Russia saw as NATO encroachment on its borders russia built up its military presence on its western border. Concerned by this NATO treaty article 5 immediately reinforced and U.S president mike blomberg sent a letter to russian president vladimir putin saying that an attack on one was an attack on all. To reinforce the point U.S and NATO troops were sent into estonia latvia and lithuania due to their proximity to russia. However the russian government misunderstood this as a buildup to an attack and on june 28th 2022 russian forces stormed across the russian border into europe linking up with russian forces in kaliningrad. For the first 4 months of WWIII the russian military was able to reach as far as far eastern germany however by august russian forces were stopped just outside of berlin as U.S and NATO troops finished mobilizing and their residence solidified.

The armies of the imperium
The imperial guard are often described as the emperors hammer smashing up against their enemies until they break them down.
The astartes are said to be a masterfully crafted and handled spear swiftly piercing an enemies heart and gutting them afterwards.
The knights are a sword and shield agile masters of offense and juggernauts of defense.
But the titans are a cannon demolishing all in their path with thunderous booms.
And the navy is an armored caravan being both the life blood and transport to all of these armies but also capable of dealing more damage than one could imagine.
They are the armies of the mighty imperium of man the warriors

Remember a few months ago, when I posted a journal warning of "incoming poetry?" Well, they've started coming in.
This is one of ten poems I wrote for my workshop. I'd never written (real) poetry before, so not everything I produced is worth sharing, but some of them had potential, so I'll be taking a few of the ones I liked and sprucing them up a bit and posting them here.
This one's based on a true story, as anyone who's suffered from migraines can attest (as several of my classmates did). I've always gotten very mild migraines, but the symptoms are still unpleasant and bizarre, and I thought they might make an amusing subject for a poem.

I'm no poetry expert by any means but I really like this. I used to get migraines daily until I went gluten free, and this is a perfect description.
