When chaos is quiet and my thoughts have faded
This makes my heart feel almost…jaded
Its numbing, yet it soothes my mind
It allows me to silence my world and leave it behind
I succumb to the words and feelings of the unknown
I get lost in a life that is not my own
It enchants my mind, body and soul
It strips me, yet makes me feel so whole
I escape this place that I call home
It gives me laser focus and keeps me in a zone
I can get lost here for hours on end
It soothes me more than a friend
It is something that has a hold on my soul like a hook
The one thing that stops my rage is a book

Two Wrinkles In Time
It is pointless to run, my darling, because sixty seconds ago, I will kill you. My blade will have sliced reality open right in front of you. It will have first pierced it as it would a bed sheet left hanging to dry, flapping in the wind on a Sunday afternoon. But the metal will have drawn a line in the air that the ghostly tear will have followed. Then I, La Dyablès, machete firmly in hand, will have emerged from what your mind, at the time, could only interpret as the other side of here—whatever that means to you. I know. I have seen that look on the faces of countless unlucky… clients. You will not have been the first nor the last to try and reneg on a riches for soul contract only to present this visage to me when I come to collect.
