Broken Verses
The Last Goodbye In the stillness of the night, A whisper soft, a fading light, Your voice, it lingers in the air, A final word, a silent prayer.

Eternal Embrace
Sonnet I: The First Glance Upon the meadow’s edge, where blooms are bright, I first did see thee, radiant as dawn, Thy gaze did weave a spell of pure delight, And in that moment, all my doubts were gone.

Silent Cries
Echoes of an Empty Room In the hollow chambers of my mind, Echoes of whispers, once so kind, Now linger like a fading song, In the silence where you belong.

Team America: World Police
Hey! Terrorize this! Pearl Harbour Sucked, I Miss You Look, it's Matt Damon! * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: I will not ramble mumble on too much about this but unironically Team America: World Police, by Trey Parker and Matt Stone (of South Park fame) is one of the best action movie parodies, Hollywood and celebrity culture satires of all time. And done with some amazing set pieces featuring marionettes, inspired by Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds. It is start to end hilarious, has some genuinely great songs (that was always a strong point of South Park and Parker and Stone anyway) and just yeah, an absolute riot. It's quite offensive, in case you didn't realise that, but truly if you have not seen this movie, you should. Like, right now. I am not even joking and I will die on the hill in a bloody battle defending it.
