In my dream I was transported

without gods or buttons pressed

In my dream I was the hero

freckled youth I’d say

In my dream I wanted difference

polars swapped and fingers touch

In my dream I was transported

to a place without birth;

or death

I am better

than this,

I am

deserving,

without void

I would prosper,

with a pause and then silence

I would be heard

Friday Flipping Fireworks

I installed SoundCloud today so now I can finally listen to @silence-manhorse 🙂

I even got the old guitar out and recorded some random noise but the flipping SoundCloud app doesn’t allow me to upload it 🙁 (Which is probably for the best, no-one should ever hear that piece of crap!)

six strings of mercy

There are six strings attached to the bridge / my fingers track the path easily / all the way to the head; pegged / I wish and hope the gods of screaming licks / be merciful this evening

You stand there, naked

words seeping through

the cracks.

I approach as you rapture

the fractures widen, the

words bombastic and

your smile emphatic.

You stand there, naked

words seeping through

the cracks.

I turn my back

with heart bleeding

I turn my back

with doubts

returning

There was no elephant in the room

much less a room

in the darkness he reached out

only to find

the Pit of Doom

Hello friends! I’d like to direct all of you to the following link:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1367347179/dead-in-the-west-a-tabletop-rpg-set-in-the-mythic?ref=nav_search&result=project&term=dead%20in%20the%20west

The past year and a half or so, I’ve been working hard on creating my very own pen-and-paper tabletop RPG (think Dungeons and Dragons if you’ve never played one before). The game is set in what I like to call a “Mythic Old West” setting – think old cowboy movies and pulpy novels – the kind of place made up of tall-tales and larger-than-life characters. Setting out on an adventure in Dead in the West should feel like your party is a group of modern-day scribes, stitching out the tapestry that is the first Great American Folklore!

The Kickstarter is not asking for very much, and will go towards creating both a digital and physical edition of a beautiful rulebook, filled with gorgeous artwork by tumblr users like yourselves, all paid a fair commission.

Please do consider contributing to the Kickstarter! Dead in the West is an incredibly fun game, and I’d love to share it with as many people as I possible can.

Also you get the bonus of seeing my ugly mug in the dieo up there.

Thanks everybody <3

85% there and on the final day! Anything anyone can contribute/spread the word is forever on my favourite person list!

Thanks for everything y’all! I can’t express how appreciate and thankful I am!
