Riots in Vancouver – A Prayer: Jason Cheung
Mayhem! Riots in Vancouver! Police cars ablaze; Store windows broken. Many injured, many more places trashed and looted. Chaos ensues in a city of sin devilry at worst? I prayed that it wasn’t so. Because we lost a hockey game, the flares insinuate and perpetuate. The fire of hell and hatred so strong, that they … Continue reading Riots in Vancouver – A Prayer: Jason Cheung
I'll Be Crying: James Adamson
To the Glory of God To Gwyneth with Love There’s more than one way we return to our early days Our submission is one Our irrelevant anger; the grey that comes from destruction The murder that comes from the past; Untreatable, uncommunicated pain is anther I’ve heaved with tears Some will tell people the resurrection … Continue reading I'll Be Crying: James Adamson

The words and years left unspent, I now confess to you, in the hopes you are listening in your kingdom of blue.

Here I am, stranded On earth, and never to rise again. Getting kicked out of heaven left me scarred and in pain. I walk among the people with my heart in shreds, While I would rather be over and dead. No one notices me, For I am a shadow. And all my footsteps disappear in … Continue reading Black Wings: Robert St. Germain

If These Walls Could Talk: Marie LeBlanc
Ghostly imageries Empty Halls Gruesome ghouls Talking walls Sad partitions Of lies and truth Worrying with Bloodstone bricks The secrets within the walls Lie in the silenced barriers Of the Hermetic Code Breathing with intensity Shadows hide Behind the life of mysteries In the dark of night Skeletons come creeping through Ghostly images transfer within … Continue reading If These Walls Could Talk: Marie LeBlanc
