Less of Strength, More of the Mind

Conquer the diagonals and the parallels.

Humiliate the least potent and display their inutility.

Ease the horse of their breath.

Sacrifice the crowned beauty for her half,

Surely his cross will befriend the tiles.

Sickness

You played games

with my heart

Liked to watch me

fall apart;

Like a bird with

broken wings,

Dancing as you pulled

the strings,

As you whispered lies

in my ear,

What I wanted so

to hear.

You were like a sickness...

But now I’m immune.

Russian Roulette

One press of the trigger,

And in an instant,

The glorious cycle could be over

Six cylinders, dictating life and death

Which will be the one

To make it all end?

The thrill, the anticipation

It's a twisted game

The players participate

For the rush of danger,

Exhilaration they've never felt before

Is it really worth it?

That's for the participants to decide

As the cold, metallic gun

Is passed around

Yet again

Knight of Ratatosk

Ratatosk Ratatosk

With his dark centurian aloft

A split and severed soul

that’s not entirely as soft.

A drop of courage; a touch of magic,

“turns dreams into reality”

So raise thy sword, awaken thy army

And collect those cores powered by unity.

Walking hand in hand with the Queen of Love,

though dual souls clash at counter octaves.

A journey through time

an RPG like no other;

Adventurizing the ruins of divine

It’s an emotional rollercoaster.

From Luin to Palmacosta to Altamira to Izoold,

this game holds my tales of inspiration,

and a strong recomendation from me to you.

*Inspired by Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World. See opening in comments (if interested)

Galaga

Spaceships shooting aliens in space.

Spaceships dodging aliens in space.

Space.

Space.

Space.

Spaceships in space.

A Tribute to Lotte’s Forest: Tales of Love

Red, Violet, Gold,

Forests of the strong and bold.

Black, Silver, White,

It’s not right

To say goodbye.

Farewell my favorite app game,

I hope you come back better than before.

It won’t be the same, please remain,

I adore and beg for more.

Licht the Frog Prince of White,

Says, “Everything will be alright.”

But the little frog inside

Says, “I want to stay by your side . . .”

Orkan the Cat Knight of Gold,

Says, “A frown doesn’t suit you, milady.”

But underneath your red hat, your heart

Says, “Don’t look at me that way . . .”

Schwarz the lonely Beast of Black,

Says, “Enough crying, I will hold you.”

But deep in those cresent-moon eyes

Says, “I don’t want you to go . . .”

Please stay, I beg of you,

My ending has not come true.

I don’t want to say adieu.

The Black Wizard, Ubel,

Says, “Aren’t you glad to be rid of me?”

But that little boy of many names

Says, “Princess, hear my plea . . .”

The Forest of Roots is disappearing,

Shutting down so quickly,

Without the perfect ending.

My heart will break in pain

This game of unique bachelors

Will never be seen again.

(I wish Abracadabra Games could see this . . .)

Poker

Let's play a game

Ill be the queen and

you can be my king

Let's play a game

Ill be waiting on the steps of the castle

while you work your way through the thorns

What are you waiting for?

Come get me

Im yours

Ill - be your queen.

Zev’s G.O.T.A

A vast world of promises

A world, full of danger

Take heed as your journey begins

Monsters, lurking in every corner

One sentence to seal the deal

Three words to take you further

Eight letters to demonstrate your zeal

Candy Land

Making the little ones cry since 1949.

And since 2001, making this dad whine.

Why do kids still want to play that cruel game?

That damned gingerbread man space is to blame!
