A Blue Box Adventure
The Doctor will see you now!
In darkest night,
When the stars ran out,
Amid thin grey mist,
Seeped in doubt-
A blue box groaned,
It's wheezing crack,
A timelord stumbled,
Onto black tarmac.
.
Amongst silver planes,
And luggage carts,
The Doctor smiled,
His lips did part.
"Run", he cried,
Throwing out his hand,
Excitement coursed,
As if all was planned.
.
So, away we ran,
As metal beasts gave chase,
But laugh he did,
You should have seen his face.
.
Across the runway,
and out of sight,
My crazed heart thumping
in wild fright,
I beheld this man,
Who was no man at all,
But a two-hearted alien,
The Doctor on call.
.
"You're in luck," I say,
Showing a madman my ID,
He's a goddamn stranger,
But with him, I will flee.
.
"You up for an adventure?"
I point to my bird,
He stares intently
Now, unsure I was heard.
.
"You fly?" He mused,
His face lighting up,
I could only shrug,
"Since I was a pup."
.
"Well then, Captain"
He smirked with a wink,
And before I could so much
As stop and think,
He withdrew his sonic screwdriver,
That doesn't do wood,
"Allons-y!" He yelled-
.
.
In the TARDIS we stood.

Tortured Soul
The soul careened blindly through a void where it scraped against the walls of a narrow tunnel, amassing a cumulative friction that created all the heat the devil would ever need to torment it. There was no light at the end, not even a fire. From the bottom a cold wind blew, and the clash of extremities spawned vapors of terror in the deadened and numbed appendage that was this strange, delirious, drunken consciousness.

This really reminds me of growing up with David Tennant as DR Who! Thank you for the shot of nostalgia!
