River of the Sun, chapter 20 – The Waters of Thought
by Steve Tanham
River of the Sun, chapter 20 – The Waters of Thought It was a very specific power and Lord Menascare had never experienced its like, before. If not stopped, time had certainly been changed. No longer was there a uniform flow of things happening in a concerned – unconcerned way. Instead, the unfolding events were made into a running sequence, where the running was … Read More River of the Sun, chapter 20 – The Waters of Thought
Duet in Red and fade…
by Steve Tanham
They were bright red on the day he bought them From the impossible shop in the mountains So far away. — Like her throat in the heat of passion As their skins moved like silk And their lips were liquid joy. — Now, faded, she gathers the leaves around their stems Like a cloak over the beloved As the colour, though not the … Read More Duet in Red and fade…

Nine minutes to One, part two – Like Her
by Steve Tanham
Nine minutes to One, part two – Like Her And as he grew he dreamt of the mountains. Vast ranges of freedom in which his ideas would fly and soar through lake-filled valleys in the high passes, and his heart would beat in a different way, as though the body she fed had no place in those heights. And as he grew he … Read More Nine minutes to One, part two – Like Her
