‘Her tender touch was all but a dream;

Unfurl sweet rosebud, holding morning dew,

By night the rose is gilded by frost’s gleam

What dawn proposes, dusk demeans’

When you look upon the Masses you slain

What lifeless face is painted On their bloody remains

Is it love? Is it pride? Is it your own strife?

The hubris that fuelled flames Subsequently put them out

This route that you’ve taken What you could’ve lived without

Are you glad? Are you tired? Are you emptied by doubt?

Do realise, that the war trophies Were meaningless

The only prize that had merit Didn’t need a battle

It is meaningless struggle For a one track tunnel Where at the end lays Your simple mistake

An ego too large to house love But enough to satiate a hero’s crowd

Yet

A purpose that you had achieved Long before the funeral pyre In the warmth of love and pride Now detached by strife

No gladness, no tiredness Just emptiness by the panging doubt

Was it worth it Achilles? Was it worth it to do? To break before death with impeccable grace?

The Gods had said it was all in good time The Fates had made it with such in mind The Poets had called you foolish and blind

Was it worth it Achilles? Was it worth it for you?

-by Lane Key :]

inspiration from The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

"Resurrecting Prometheus: Mary Shelley's Haunting Masterpiece, Frankenstein"

Mary W. Shelley's "Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus" stands as an immortal testament to the enduring power of gothic literature and its exploration of the human condition. In this haunting tale of scientific ambition gone awry, Shelley weaves a narrative that transcends time, challenging our notions of morality, creation, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Victor Frankenstein's reckless quest to defy the boundaries of life and death results in the birth of a creature both wretched and sublime. Shelley's evocative prose takes us on a journey through the icy landscapes of the Arctic and the darkest recesses of the human soul. The novel's layered narrative, framed within the letters of an ambitious explorer, adds depth to the overarching tragedy, creating a sense of impending doom.

As the creature grapples with his identity, rejected by society and his own creator, Shelley compels us to confront themes of isolation, prejudice, and the consequences of playing god. The moral ambiguity of Victor Frankenstein and the sympathetic portrayal of his creature blur the lines between good and evil, challenging readers to ponder the ethical implications of scientific innovation.

"Frankenstein" is more than a cautionary tale about the dangers of scientific hubris; it is a profound exploration of the consequences of unchecked ambition and the responsibility that comes with creation. Shelley's narrative mastery, coupled with her intellectual depth, makes this novel a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers, inviting them to ponder the boundaries of human knowledge and the price of playing with the forces of life and death.

"Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus" by Mary W. Shelley is available in Amazon in paperback 12.99$ and hardcover 20.99$ editions.

Number of pages: 266

Language: English

Rating: 10/10

Eternal Wanderer: A Quest for Unseen Love

In twilight’s gentle caress, where secrets merge and shadows bless,A lone soul wanders, veiled in grace, a quest in heart, no time, no place.His path, a canvas of the night, under stars that guide with ancient light,Where moon’s soft lullabies entwine with sun’s farewell, a dance divine. Across the verdant Punjab plains, where love’s saga echoes, remains,He searches for a spark undying, in a…

i throw my heart like a chew toy and see your fangs bared as you slink toward me, your eyes illuminated crimson pools reflecting the moon under nightfall - filled with mystery and promise and hope,

your gaze settles on mine, your siren song so sweet i almost believe it, but i can never be sure and I can never be yours. Your tender touch a secret vice, it coils around my every being and hushes me gently as i willingly sink to the seabed. never did i notice as the murky water filled my lungs, thick as tar and twice as deadly,

i dont even feel myself wanting to breathe,

i just let it take me,

incapacitated by the lies you weaved, i never even felt the needle as you threaded it through my mind. Oh god, oh god, god of love and sex entwined with i, the god of chaos, the god of all that is destructive and terrible and hopeless, im glad i entertained you. i’m glad I gave you the satisfaction of being loved and for a moment i was glad you gave me the illusion of the same. but we were a brick house built on sandy foundations and here we lie, bloody under rubble, tear stains cutting through the debris on our cheeks. You didnt have to say it, i know i’m a mistake, i know my love weighs heavy on your chest until you’re crushed to a grain and lapped up by the tide, and i know that night was a double edged sword: i’m dying, and you’re scathed.

“I met a lady in the meads,

Full beautiful- a faery’s child,

Her hair was long, her foot was light,

And her eyes were wild.”

If you are a hero I am a mere mortal Unflinchingly bound to follow you Into whatever Greek tragedy awaits For that is a tale at its very finest Love in the worst way and the purest

They may call us crazy Deem us unworthy But you are the hero And you’ll make things right Tug me along into the tragic ending Where only one of us gets to survive

So dear, don’t feel guilty Please, wear a smile sincerely I was born to live and die this way

Dear diary,

I kept telling myself if I got to less for weight than gained some by enjoying something I like that it would be okay as long as was certain numbers on the scale, because as long as I wasn't fat in sense of obesity it's okay. The reality is so far though, I don't like how physically feel when I gain weight, I can tell and see the differences. ~

So that's not to say I won't enjoy some carbs or sweet desserts now and then, cause you know I want too and will. Its just realizing the cost and if its truly worth it as well as implementing possible additional workouts.

I am not there yet but when I do reach my final weight goal, I'll likely celebrate and I don't know maybe I'll post some selfies here (tho body image issues and feelings of insecurity over flaws don't go away like pounds). ~

Italian is such a beautiful language, there are so many words that just sound better, more beautiful in Italian than say English, like my love, baby, kitten, beauty. Then the words that are just more fun like calling someone an idiot or stupid, just sounds better too in Italian, grandma/grandpa etc. ~

I watched a movie, it talked about how it was every Italian's dream to connect Silicy with the mainland by route of bridge. I don't know how accurate that actually is for majority of Italians opinions but I find the idea quite beautiful.

Just as in America, there are different states so varies the different regions in Italy, each beautiful in it's own way and each with it's own culture in sense of comparing city life/communities with rural communities/life.

Venice, is famous for so many artists, is it any wonder? Tuscany is beautiful as well, Sicily is it's own unique beauty. Not to mention all the smaller less known towns and areas. Each has itself history as well and I find it all so interesting. Perhaps it's in part to loving or admiring Italian artists, of course appreciation for architecture and literature as well. ~

Juliet and Romeo is a famous example, I wouldn't say I am a huge fan of Shakespeare, though do appreciate his talents as write. But the romance although ending in tragedy is so beautiful. There are other examples of tragic love in various tales and countries, whether it be historical or fairytale/fictional ones. There's the Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, or what of the love between families and platonic relationships?

Such as Anastasia, unfortunately such myths of her surviving the tragedy that befell her family were just myths, illusions as she never escaped and did perish along with the rest of her siblings etc. ~

What is it about love that is so beautiful yet ends so bitterly that we can't help but find beauty in such darkness? The titanic with loss of so many lives, and why was it Jack was left to perish as he did his best to save the one he loved? ~

Is death that much to be shown as example of resolution of love? I think it harder to choose to live on after having someone you so dearly cherish die. It's in grief and loneliness that you may think death a comfort, to ease your mind, the pain, the sadness and all the stress or worries. But tell me love, what happens when you die? ~

So many questions and various thoughts as to what afterlife may be if anything at all are there and the world has yet to give a 100% answer that is the same.

I can tell you in certain the person you are today, all the things that make you the unique version you are stop existing when you die. We know what happens to our bodies when we physically die and as to souls, I won't list my personal beliefs but there are plenty of theories out there. ~

When you die, so do everything about you, to have loved that person so much you think death may reunite you. Let me remind you that is in the memories they live on and in your heart so if you die the part that remembers them ceases to exist as well. ~

There some cases where death with the being in the arms of your lover I think would be a great comfort such as in natural disasters like Pompeii, or in a war, where death is imminent and there is no escape so that in your final moments you could be with the one you love. ~
