Rush hour veins. Heaven or heathen?
Will the electric pulse ever find peace? Even for a moment.
Ongoing trains. Bettered or beaten?
Will the kinetic swing ever be pleased? Where’s the atonement?
Computer chains. Tether or treason?
Will the genetic soul ever have ease? Even for a moment.
NaaN ...
Poetry Time 24: Veins of the machine
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, March 19, 2023Poetry Time 23: The Clash
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, March 12, 2023
Blushing clouds crushing the pale skyvault
One the Behemoth, another the Bulwark
Flashing stars clashing the null sunbelt
One the reciever, another the repeat
Psyching dreams striking the lone mindspace
One the believer, another the braindeath
NaaN (Now, always and Never)
Poetry Time 22: Silhouettes
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, March 5, 2023
Forest branching silhouette
Like teaming black veins on a reddening sunset
Blizzard shedding winter haze
Like dreaming white reins on a deadening snow case
Desert breathing nomad storm
Like screaming brown banes on a withering lifeform
Ocean feeding vapor-skies
Like steaming green lanes on a bottoming sunrise
NaaN (Now, always ...
Poetry Time 21: Self-love
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 26, 2023
Kiss this undulated heart for it knows vibration
Vibration knowing from within.
Hug this unburied thought for it glows gratulation
Gratulation glowing from within
Caress this unsheltered face for it shows sensation
Sensation showing from within
Cure this uncovered soul for it sows liberation
Liberation sowing from within
NaaN (Now ...

Poetry Time 20: The Crowd
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 19, 2023
Invicibility shades and your rests fall in a bin
Invicibility creates what few guests calls from within
Watch your memory slide, forward and counterwise
As the crowd fades into their vertical grins
Visibility flows and your next comes to a scene
Visibility shows what effects rises so clean
Hear your ...
Poetry Time 19: Everface
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Feb. 12, 2023
Time.
It does not come in an even lap.
It comes wearing the everfacing mask.
Dead light searching, seeking that hope.
It is gone graving the everfading mote.
Can you see the black fog before the red freeze?
They are neither free from the primordial bead…
…Time…
…now, always and ...
Toxic Positivity, Toxic Acceptance (Part 2)
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Feb. 11, 2023
So last time, in Part 1 of this discussion of …sunnier villains or antagonists, we had left off talking about how toxic positivity is all about the toxic person's comfort. And that this need to impose a certain behavior, dogma, and/or approach to reality in their environment leads ...
Altarland, or how I learned to stop tinkering and love the AU
Andreas_Helixfinger at 12:00AM, Jan. 29, 2023
So it is Sunday again and the first month of the new year is nearing its close. I still haven’t finished my work on the short story I’m making for the new DD Anthology, but I am coming back from my updating hiatus next week anyway. During my ...
The Cure For Procrastination
Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 26, 2023
I've been a notorious procrastinator. Well, notorious in my own mind at least.
Last summer my folks were goodly enough to give me a large pile of dirt.
Hey, did you say that's more than I deserved? You cheeky devil!
It was to fill some holes and ruts ...
