I enter the fade like a fog the night
A ghost shrouded in net curtains
A dream made nightmare made more
Where hollow eyes look up, not down
Dark patches of midnight blotting a weeping moon
Here, purgatorial blooms proliferate
Surging in reckless monochrome
Sprouting wherever with no desire for shade
Never accepting death’s cascading sorrows
Never believing the simple truth
That there’s nothing to feel but feelings themselves
Because there’s nothing to feel at all
Thank you for reading

Whiskey eyes smoulder
From beneath a raven fringe
Intoxicating
Never did like the headaches
Which is why I quit drinking
Thank you for reading

Dear all!
I hope you have time to check out a free sample of Britannia Unleashed – The Audiobook, as seen on my publisher, Next Chapter’s, YouTube channel. A Steampunk extravaganza, Britannia Unleashed tells the story of how a group of unusual personalities battle a twisted Victorian history and a very many evil doers.
Author’s Note: I think it’s very exciting to see/hear your work transformed into a new medium, and the narrator has done a great job. I hope you enjoy.
Thank you for reading
