The summer sun rises over the hills,With a beauty and certain grace,But it cannot compete with the beauty of you,Or the beauty of your face.The falling snow in wintertime,Makes everything look so new,But it cannot compare with the beauty,The beauty that is you.The birds in springtime sing their song,So sweetly and so pure,But they cannot compare with your sweet words,Of this you can be sure.The colorful leaves on autumn t...

As I lie awake in my lonely bed,Thoughts of you still fill my head,Wondering where you could have went,The pillowcase still has your delicate scent,Like the memories that linger on,Long after you have up and gone.As I wander through my lonely room,I still smell the scent of your perfume,The memories over take my mind,Of a girl so loving and kind,I think about the good times that we had,And wonder how it ever went so bad.I...

Thinking about the loves of the past,All the loves that didn’t last.All my loves of yesterday,I wonder where they are today,The close moments that we shared,The loving words that said we cared.I think about the ones that slipped on by,I sit by myself and I wonder why,One day they‘re here and next they‘re gone,I understand that life goes on,But still I wonder if it was meant to be,Are they happier without me?And if we ever...

When I think of life I hope that it will get betterI think of my friends and I hold tightLove is hard to find and I hope I will find mineThe pain inside is what I find to be the calmThe calm that makes me wholeAs you take my hand I may not follow but you can rescue meRescue me from myselfI crumble under the pressureMy throat hurts and my eyes waterYou may have other things to keep you wholeBut when you crush my worldI bec...

Dean worked his way through the thick crowds of the spring carnival, dodging a family of five, a group of excited kids kicking each other, and an old couple strolling leisurely along. He’d been at the park since it opened. The toboggan ride drenched him; the pirate ship made him seasick; the rollercoaster nearly put him to sleep; the funhouse was not fun. The air was filled with the electricity of excitement, but not for...

Love can be like water to a fish,Love can grant your every wish. Love can be like a bird in flight, Love can turn darkness into light. Love can drive away your fear, Love can always keep me near. Love can make you want to live, Love can make you want to give. I look at you and our fingers touch, I know it is you I love so much. It is my love for you that I feel, My love for you is so very real. My love has no beginning, i...

The first time I ever asked my Gran what my mum was like, she smiled at me and lifted me into her lap. I was still small then, so I nestled comfortably against her ample belly, waiting excitedly as she drew out a battered, red, leather covered book seemingly from out of nowhere. Somehow, she always had it with her. Even now, much older and possessing the knowledge adulthood seems to bring to a person, I believe that there...

HuntersChapter Five: The Hunt is overBy Nathan Mullins"Why did they not eat us, or at any rate, prevent us from escaping?" Whisper asked, wanting a proper explanation."Because I'm the only key to them ever finding the will to cooperate with me in thinking I'd give them access to Space Time," Shimmer told her, sounding most pleased with the outcome of them being spared."So you lied then?" Whisper whispered, not as loudly a...

HuntersChapter Four: For the RecordBy Nathan Mullins“Where are we heading Shimmer?” Whisper asked him, as they continued on their journey. “You know well enough where we’re heading!” Shimmer’s voice was rough, as he was breathless, and so tired. He was being so harsh, because he was keeping some things well under wraps. “You sound so upset, so angry, so… well, you sound a little different.” Whisper was concerned for her f...

His face was once a hard wall, a mask behind which he hid every emotion.Slowly, Day by day, I patiently chipped away,Piece by piece.And now...when he smiles,It takes my breath away.

HuntersChapter Two: The GrievingBy Nathan MullinsShimmer was afraid. He had lost his adoptive mum, the one person who cared for him who was human, never mind what Whisper thought, this wasn't about her. This was about Shimmer's chances of survival. Already, the one asset whom he truly cherished had now perished. He was on his own from this day forward.Whisper greeted him in the tower block, and together, they sat down on...
