A frigid shoulder An icy stare With disapproving consternation With scornful rebuke What has he done to deserve such? It is all really a bit too much! How can he accept this? When it is all mud and piss? Should he add to his burdens And treat himself as if unworthy of love Perhaps self-isolate and t...

On living without expectation Today I slept in until ten And only moved to Stretch my arms And I did not apologize for it. I cry easily now And love even easier. When I walk outside, It is to feel the sun on my skin Not to win an invisible race. I do not have room for any anger. I forgive the world...

Dear Oxi, I have sought the services of druids and medicos and I am feeling a bit better now. Thanks for your kind words. I would like to withdraw charges at this time in light of the orc's inexperience and my own memory loss. Gamliel Goldberg, Esq. P.S. It is a strange thing though that when I shou...

The orc ONKA attacked me (Gamliel Goldberg) with Shiba as witness. He beat me (with a club) when I was grinding gems in the workshop of Galmair. I suffered cracks to my wooden leg as well as mental aggravation due to this abuse. The orc ONKA said he was his "own LAW" and that when I picked...

On a faded, golden brown parchment are the following black runic letters: pre-dawn: a quiet, warm kind of darkness. a wolf howls in the distance there - do you hear it? there - an answer in the pale dark out of the susurration of trees. dogs, barking. a horse whuffles. stamps its feet. it is the fi...

Gamliel is from the Plains of Serin (his people are the nomadic dwarven clans who ride the vast plains and steppes of Illarion, have plans for global dominion, worship fire, and believe good behavior will be rewarded with being reborn one day as a Wolfbrother)... However, he is currently a member of...

Gamliel's theme song due to being one of the Unhorsed (his people are the nomadic dwarven clans who ride the vast plains and steppes of Illarion, have plans for global dominion, worship fire, and believe good behavior will be rewarded with being reborn one day as a Wolfbrother): https://www.youtube....

Irmorom the Shaper He is the Maker From earthen dust We came and must Eventually return Ere the world burn... Sons of Irmorom arise! 'Gainst the Dragon and her lies! Fire, fire, all is fire And lo, behold: the merinium chains stuck in the mire Flame-forged, steel hewn chains Trusty as a horse's reig...

They say the stars exploded a long time ago, and we are the result. Thus, we are literally stardust. Here today and gone tomorrow. When I look up at the starry night sky, I see our ancestors twinkling warmly at us in benign concern. When I look into your eyes, their celestial depths like twin supern...

I am at my wit's end. What to do? Where to go? Every way I turn is a dead-end Reach for the very top Be sure not to stop Not until you drop Become a part of the 1% Partnered, wealthy, and happy And don't get too sappy But in the end I am alone My skills to once again hone No one hears me moan...

Oh really? I had no idea. Sorry.

Maybe make dexterity more useful. Since perception affects damage, hit chance, alchemy, potion quality, and map finding... Why not make dexterity affect the quality of your craftsmanship across the board as that would make sense lore-wise and give the neglected stat a much needed boost. Otherwise, d...

It is getting colder and I am getting older. Whatever I dreamed of - it was not this If I could only turn back time, how I would do things differently! But time rolls on like an unstoppable flood Sweeping us all into oblivion and beyond For what, were we brought here? To merely suffer and overcome? ...

We have already cried. Now we are laughing. We lift our heads to watch the sky. A few little stars are shining still... We sing the song of time To understand the true meaning Of being there for each other. Because I just ran into you by pure serendipity Leaving footprints together would be beautifu...

When you are gone, what will become of me? Who will I speak to, care for, and accompany? All around are strangers in their own bubbles, Never did they take any mind to my troubles. And why would they start now or later? It is not as if anyone is there to cater To my needs as you have long done Pleas...

I feel very lonely tonight Aimless, weary, and not quite right Nobody knows or cares for me A somebody, I am not he For my birthday, nobody came I celebrated all the same Lost and alone I lie in bed Waiting for sleep to come instead I have wandered through this planet Like a scared and dazed wild ra...

I look into the abyss And I am not a sis If I go now, there may be pain But at least I will not be insane A cool breeze blows I have many owes Lest I forget To pay off my debt They say: life is good Perhaps I have misunderstood But the future seems so uncertain And I would like to unburden I came al...

I fumble I stumble I bumble Everything is a mess But I couldn't care less Still, why must I keep making the same mistake? It is rather annoying, for Heaven's sake! I do know what should be done Nothing new under the sun Still, doubts creep up from time to time And nothing is for certain in my rhyme ...

Plans to prosper and not to harm Said the Lord with his mighty arm Why do I feel so desperate And have I not been temperate? I can do naught but cling dearly To the hope that I will merely Be another wild forest tree Growing in tumultuous sea Fire and thunderstorm I have seen Burning and soaking I h...

What should I do, what should I do? I don't even know you from who Yesterday, we may have been friends Today, we need to make amends Where do I go, where do I go? Why must you always say: "No, no" You used to follow where I led Now you insist to make me dread I no longer know what to do In...

Soft, morning light does penetrate The sun rises now, like or hate I am alive, that's all that counts Never mind, haven't any mounts Somehow, I may find my own way Though I know not the land nor lay The key is best friends and something To do, to make a song and sing My mind, at long last, is in pea...

This is really not the life I dreamed of Where is the wonder, and where is the love? Everyday I think of disappearing Because my disappointment keeps leering There is nothing to do, nothing to do Everywhere there is just the horrid flu I am trapped in this slice of history To what end? It is all a m...

You spurned my love
O my small dove
I'm despondent
Will it relent?

So harsh so loud
Why were you proud?
Looking down on
Me, like a con

Your deception
My redemption
I was so wronged
Where I belonged

You led me on
I'm not a John
Stringing along
Just like a song

A waking nightmare With scarcely a hair To show for the fright It was quite a sight My mind was controlled Message made me bold In a conundrum Be killed or kill some Monsters everywhere All around I stare Thought I'd be crippled Instead was followed Into hospital For problems mental I need medicine ...

You have been heaping scorn Since the day I was born So much awful neglect Belonging to a sect They say bad is easy And good is just sleazy In my experience It makes no difference Whether you fight or flight No escape from the blight Experimentation Every last injection Implanted a device Tracking m...

In a rage, I broke my member Now it is no longer limber T'was to fix its unhappy curve That I bent it and with some verve What's done now cannot be undone The consequences are not fun Easy to start the ball rolling Hard to stop it from destroying The prejudices conspired to Immobilize and and make m...

Tossing and turning on my cramped bed Did nothing to stand me in good stead Frittered away all my precious time It turns out it all turns on a dime Cold limbs and chillier fingertips Tortuous, twisted back and sore hips Where I am going I do know not I live day by day; such is my lot The past has be...

Outside, snow drizzles
Inside, a fizzle
But it's all okay
My demons at bay

Every breath I take
Is for Heaven's sake!
T'is a miracle
That's the debacle

I tire of living
Each day I'm sinning
An endless cycle
Where's my bicycle?

A brand new morning
A new beginning
Yet nowhere to go
Again to and fro

Blinding white light reflects upon the snow A thousand gems set on fire all aglow Rivers and streams of strangers all around They pass by like this with nary a sound I once did think of flying far away Now I see that I really have no say A caged bird am I with my wings clipped too Many struggles wit...

Sinking into the hot tub, my weariness fades Blinking dreamily, everything passes in a haze Trepidation for the morrow, I keep it at bay For now, I hold to the promise: it will be okay The irretrievable past is but foggy memory What counts is that the present is merry Because I still have quite a lo...
