The Big 100 So, it's been three years. I've been a terrible family member to you all, leaving and returning. I think about it sometimes how we nearly lost Opuss, about a year ago and that special someone saved us! So thank you for the opportunity and I'm finally publishing my 100th Opuss. I wanted to give you something special but it's proving harder than expected so I'll just drop you a line or two. My Friends & Family of Opussia, It's been a journey and a half, Some of you have made me cry and some have made me laugh. It's all in the best way though, and oh the things I've come to learn, So I know although I'm back and fourth, to Opuss I'll always return!

Becoming Undead I wrote this for a competition recently and the theme was #gothic #nightcrawlers I can feel the darkness grow inside me, Like a tumour in one’s head. Each blood vessel drying out, My body left in a state of drought. The venom beginning to spread. It’s a hunger, a thirst, a cry from inside, The human within me, I know now, has died. And yet it’s unearthly, peculiar, fey, I’ve never felt so alive in this way. I can hear my heartbeat pulse inside me, Like a pacing, racing, car. The thunder turns, My body yearns, For a trip to the bloodlust bar. The sun stokes my skin, I shudder with fear, This is where the game must conclude. And I cannot control, This bloodthirsty soul, So I’ll end this monsters blood feud.

Inprisoned In Peru ##acrostic #escape Eyes, watching her, enjoying her cruel Suffering. Her deafening Cries leave no tarnish on their conscience. As the sun sinks into the Peruvian landscape, she knows, for her, there is no Escape.

While You're Living I have one wish, To go back, hold his hand, and to face the truth. The man who taught me all I know, how to tell right from wrong, is now gone from my reach. sometimes I let my mind wander, I dream about walking down the aisle, but then I remember you won't be by my side, and sometimes I let myself cry. we both had the same idea, to accept it before the end had arrived, and make it easy to cope. and now I have one regret, that I didn't get to spend the time with you I was given. what a waste, but I'm still living. so don't push them away, even if it's easier, spend every living moment with the ones you love the most, this is what I wish I had learnt before it was too late.
