Author name: Hayden Veil

In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.

From dawn the ghosts arises

Their lederhosen

Whip

Whips

Whipses

> > > I AM

Scarred // bleeding // waving !!!¡¡¡!!!

One-eyed Jack smiles (*)

The single knife sharpened

Chastising my limbs

Chirping with open arms

Embracing nichts

The bird of pray

The Lord’s final

Measure

Butcher – Starlight – Love – …

Alone

Strolling down the street AT NIGHT – dusk rising ; Waves of blood the gutter see ;;;; mermaid drowning ::: suggest alterative ending &&& frowning

His heart pounding – full moon HOWLING

The cleaver **** bloody **** dreams **** dreaming ****

Chop // Chop // Chop

Alone (not)

Her arms embrace

His love — at last

Silent

You died the Tumblr death and

Thus my words have lost a lover

Me – a lovers death

I was looking through my archive and realised that many of my early posts no longer had any notes attached. As people “pass away” on Tumblr (blog deletion) their likes are removed as well. There is no everlasting love on Tumblr 🙁

X – a clarification

Contrary to public beliefs, the X has never marked the spot. A solid O or a D or a 0 are more commonly found after a nocturnal adventure. Also, the 9 has frequently showed up where more moist conditions were present.

Prompted by a @thatrandomprompt prompt: X

fear, a stranglehold unbreakable

Only fear, relentless; everlasting fear, fear is the glue in the tracks that prevents me from moving on, fear injected in early days, fear asserted throughout the years, fear of failure and fear of rejection; now fear of someone dead still here.

Anglesey Stains

If I recall correctly, it was on Anglesey
that we laid down, between the rocks,
the barren landscape with a rough wind
howling, not bothering about the misty
rain falling, we made love and I soiled
the earth before leaving.

the next level – …

If my left hand could match my right

If my fingers could walk the walk

If my shoulders could cope with pounding

I would be a one man band

Ponding

Bashing

Screaming

Hounding

My words would hide deep under a heavy metal pounding drum and the world would be none the wiser.

acid burning still

No, I never agreed to sell my soul to the Devil. He came and took it when I looked the other way. Turned the blind eye to the path well lit, I chose the shadier ways. No, there was no contract written, between the bearded saint; the goat and me. I made no choice consciously, and the acid burning still; in me.

@circle-no-10: awesome prose, is the road less taken when the walker is blind-folded.

Have followed this bog for ages now, well worth it, diversity in writing is what is interesting to me. 

Endorsement from a fan! YAY! Thank you kindly @anjo-da-guarda-me 🙂
