Much like the others, I will be posting poems, quotes, scenes, and other stuff here. Come by and comment or react, I am always open for feedback

Beauty of Stories
-created May 24, 2013, Wednessday

Best of expressions
Written on paper
Creates illusions
None could decipher.

Through wild imaginations
Finding our actual natures
Traveling foreign nations
and meeting unknown creatures.

Be the most powerful wizard
Or the king of the underworld
You are the one holding the card
To turn back time and change the world.

Grab a pencil and a paper
Start your story with a chapter
Continue until you master
The ending of the character.​

Of Luck and Plans

Come to when the ancients roamed our world
Two beings opened their eyes and twirled
Mankind's destiny and their druthers
Affecting Time and Life and all the others.

She was Fate; "Everything's determined."
Soul-mates and destinies and 'as planned'
He was Chance; "Coincidence maybe?"
Of meetings, stumbles, and 'hey there, baby'

Competition's fierce between the two
When love is involved, they are there too.
Up until now, one could feel them fighting
The childhood friend or the first meeting?

She weaves everything from start to finish
Organized plans with a little bit of lavish
"You are no fun," he would always tease.
"You know the ending, spare me that, please."

Randomness and chaos, that's how he moves
Mostly letting them meet through the power of booze
"Why are you like this?" she would always ask
"Letting them be is such a task."

"Let them choose their ending, Destiny."
"They fell in love, even if it was a tragedy."
"They are siblings. Have you no conscience?"
"It's romantic. Shut your mouth, Chance."

"And once again you're here to disturb."
She throws Cupid and looked quite perturbed.
He grins knowing what has happened.
"Humans are not meant to fall in love with an island."

And so the story goes, this little tug-of-war
Both then agreed to split, and be afar
Separate ways, they finally went
Creating epics, and legends, and stories god-sent.

Eras came and went with them living on their own.
Then one day they met, oh, how they've grown.
"Well, look who I run into," she smiled with glee.
He grinned then. "Baby, this was meant to be."
​

Origin of this story was that I once created a poem titled Cross and Crown where, like the poem above, was the interaction of sovereign and religion. No idea where that poem is right now.​

Kismet Cafe​

Welcome to Kismet, dear costumer. I do hope you have an appetite for the cooks and baristas, as well as us, are happy to serve you. And, if there is anything else we can help you with, feel free to holler us.​

Kismet Cafe. A home of twelve of the most alluring and people-friendly faces one could have the pleasure to meet. Underneath those cheerful and friendly faces lie a deadly being. Each employee is already known throughout the underground for being a free-lance assassin. It took the owner quite some time to actually house some of the deadly beings in one roof.​

Arc 1 follows Salem, the owner, as he invited each of the assassins to work in his cafe.
