The Opponent

 The Opponent

"AND HE GOES DOWN.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ROUND.

A POWERFUL STRIKE DELIVERED RIGHT TO THE TEMPLE.

HAS SENT HIM SLUMPING INTO THE MAT".


Silence.

The cheers halted.

Awestruck.

...

"four"...

It bellows.

"five"...

The arena explodes.

"six"...

Filled with mixed emotions,

Mixed opinions.

"seven"...

Disappointment, joy, encouragement,

"eight"...

Yet all were stunned.


"Is it over",

'Sure is',

"Let's get going then".

...

The muttering stopped.

The count stopped.

The celebrations stopped.

Everyone had stopped.


Clutching tightly to the ropes,

Wringing himself up.

Rising up from the pitless void.

Exhausting every ounce.

Lurching.


Could he make it?


He was a battlefield.

Anguish, distraught, pain.

Pride wounded.

The obstacle in front was no more.

It was just an illusion, 

Someone he could not beat.


It was not over...

  VOLUME 1; Introduction of  “piggy’s big adventure”: A little piggy had just been born From a mother who loved eating corn. As the piggy learns to walk, The mother is processed into pork. Wondering where her mother went off to, The little piggy was left with nothing to do. Looking around the vast empty field, The piggy had soon revealed That there were more animals in this place, Each of them possessing a unique face. Little piggy decided to ask around To the different animals if her mother could be found, But none of them could answer her question, Nor give her a valid suggestion. It was getting dark and little piggy was still all alone, Cold, wet and shivering down to the bone. Still in search for her lost mother, Little piggy wondered what life would be like to have a brother; A warming presence to accompany her; Cuddling together closely, letting their warmth transfer. With no one to be with, and nowhere to go, Though it was her first day, she was at an all-time low. Feeling lonel

Ice Cold Beauty

  Ice Cold Beauty Ice cold queen. She walks forward. Stylistic yet simple, She conquers all, Beauty unrivalled. Her skin ripples In the icy, chilly breeze, It's silk-like complexion, Glistening with ease. She brushes her hair aside, Unveiling her coal, muted eyes. I stared deeply into that void, Completely lost in space. Her confidence and maturity, Makes her stand out. And with her long, striding legs, She marches forwards without doubt. Her face expresses no kind of emotion. Calm, collected and stern. Yet I can't seem to avert my eyes. It's almost as if I'd been shackled. Staring longingly at this artwork, Eyes fixed, glued to the intricacy. Like a moth and a candle, Resistance is wasted. This is. The Ice Cold Queen.

Dream World

  DREAMS As time passes, my eyelids grow heavy and sore. I try to resist but my vision just starts to fade. But now I know that it is time for me to explore, The hidden dream world behind the pretty cascades. Stepping through, everything suddenly becomes clear, This is a true place where no one should want to leave As anything you could possibly want is here, As well as the life goals you all hope to achieve. In here, I have all the power with full control, With the ability to rewrite all my mistakes In order to create a perfect life and a pure soul, A life with no running or reason to escape. " wake up " ... As I continue to experience this pleasant sensation, A ruffling sound begins to echo. Pulling me away from my greatest creation, To never see it again, letting it all go. I reach out trying to force my way back inside As it was the life where I was fully satisfied. Touching it for the last time with my very fingertips, Before, letting it go, letting it slip. I wonder why
