《Hurricanes And Rhymes》some days

Some days
Saddness lives on the curls of my hair
Dangling down my round face,
It resides,
Silently swinging by as cool autumn breeze leaves.
Some days
Coldness grows on my skin,
Tingling down,
Metal rust,
Brewing memories within.
Some days
Happiness glides over my feet,
Dusting glitters of glee
In my mind,
Bringing back home joy
With a flutter and a beat.
Some days
Fear crawls on my bones,
Screaming sonnets like howls,
Like the reaping of a dead leaf,
On a bright summer sunflower.
Some days
Anger burns my fists,
Like a jar of candies
In a house burning down
With a dreamer healing scarred wrists.
Some days
Nothingness blacks out my dreams
Blackness,
Cozy warmth,
That I don't ask it to leave.
Some days
jealousy cages my neck,
Like the ribs holding onto the pectoralis muscle,
Not willing to leave.
Some days
I feel them all,
Some days
The house stays numb
Like secrets kept on my tongue,
Like noise trapped with no air
Waiting for 'some days' to repeat.

8 239The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
