I wrote a poem for Cold Sands danmei novel years ago, right after I finished the novel because I was so inspired by the story and it made my heart ache. Here is the poem:

Wings clipped by truth The fall swift and harsh Lies unveiled  Fate strung a web of deceit  A trap, snaring the victim This bird, tied down Voice cut-out -silenced Never to sing Never to cry out Never to sing its beautiful melodies once more Never to give sound to its pain The world itself, what a beautiful cage- A big and wide unknown, and sometimes deceitful place Freedom- is only a short illusory image  Unobtainable- A Mirage in the desert when one is dying from thirst Just out of reach, as though grasping at sand as it slips through your fingertips And as the dark begins to unravel Twist and unwind- Mighty is the weight thrust upon the heart, Subduing its pulse, the beating drum- a strangled ba-thump...ba-thump...ba-thump... An anchor drowning the soul, Just as as heavy as one that bears a crown upon their head,  No escape is possible now  As the strings of fate tighten, the birds wings are broken Fragmented and shattered Unable to never fly Never again to soar the skies

(End/ Extra below)

......

Did you ever once hear the Greek tale of a boy, the boy who wanted to fly close to the sun?

His father created wings of made wax for his child and warned him, told him not to fly to high, to not fly to close to the sun.

However, the boy, Icarus, didn't listen to his father's words.

He flew, soaring higher, and higher, as close as he could get to the sun. His wings made of wax were melted away by the suns brilliance and Icarus fell to earth.

To his end.

And the Lotus flower, that blooms at the bottom of a lake, steeped in mud, struggles and craves, longing and yearning for the suns brilliance, but they can never touch the sun.

And a bird, born with wings to fly, can only fly so high, but never crossing that line, that boundary.

And sometimes love is just the same.

Not every story can have a happy ending, no matter the toil, the strife, the pain.

And some times, no my matter how much you love someone, you may forever be enemies, on opposing sides, love hidden deep in your heart, and all you can do, is to stare wistfully at the horizon, yearning until the end.

What would it feel like to be murdered then brought back to life so you could kidnap and rape men before feeding them to an alien's spaceship? That the only reason you're alive is to terrorize and kill men for a monstrous extraterrestrial? Well...Warren is in that position, and he thinks it's cool.

I'm writing a book about an extra-terrestrial who's crash-landed on earth and makes a deal with a guy named Dirc (top dude). Dirc was killed by a cop but ET brings him back to life with the understanding he supplies it with fresh men to feast upon. Which he does, after raping them.

Then Dirc gets caught and sentenced to death for lots and lots of murders...but he escapes and connects with Irin (second photo), who also works with ET supplying men. Things are great between them and they're getting rich, until the maniacs from Area 51 come calling, take Irin prisoner and Dirc has to save him.

It's called The Beast and then The Beast Dines Out. Gonna be a short novel, looks like...if I can ever finish it. Keeps on rollin'...

Check the full story out on GayDemon, for free. There's lots of fucking and sucking and hell on earth...so far...

You might want to read the serialized story I'm writing about two men like this -- Warren Dircum (Dirc) and Irin (Not Aaron), who've r@ped hundreds of men before turning them over to an extraterrestrial to use as sustenance.

It's posted for free on GayDemon.com as The Beast (1st book) and The Beast Dines out (second book).

nothing on television; shall we do something else?

[cat-writes-sometimes]

Writing a slow burn and worrying the heat setting is actually just gas filling up the kitchen without any ignition. Am I gonna pass out first or will the house explode? stay tuned.

[kmscb]

After Warren Dircum, known as Dirc, is murdered by a cop, a monstrous alien that's stranded on earth brings him back to life with a proposition. Its spacecraft is a living thing and needs sustenance to repair itself...preferably strong, healthy young men.

Problem is, the remote location where the craft crashed means few men to take, and that is why it need Dirc's help. If he will bring them as many as it needs to rebuild itself, he will live. Dirc agrees, because now that he's alive, again, he's been freed of all human concern and decency, and likes it.

So for nearly three years he ranges far and wide to capture men to bring to what he calls the Beast...until he grabs a young man named Greg and then a jogger named Tom, and things begin to unravel.

Lookit! Thanks to my love (*cough* obsession *cough*) for Soap and Ghost I wrote a romance novel inspired by them. So if you're a Call of Duty fan who also like romance, you might want to check out Alpha Awakened, my m/m paranormal military romance.

Available on Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited

Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJS1727N

Amazon Int'l Links: https://www.christatomlinson.com/alpha-awakened.html

A masked special forces operator who believes he doesn’t need love. And the bold soldier determined to prove him wrong.

Captain Royce Anderson is a brutal terror on the battlefield. His cold demeanor off the battlefield earns him the call sign Ice. A lone wolf since he lost his family, he shuns being part of a pack and has no wish to take a mate - until handsome, green-eyed omega Corporal Dylan Mitchell joins his squad. Suddenly, Ice is tempted like he’s never been tempted before. He knows it’s wrong to desire a subordinate. But all he wants is to kiss the sweet curve of Dylan’s lips and breathe in his intoxicating scent. Although Ice tries to resist, his alpha instincts awaken, driving him to claim the omega with the gorgeous smile as his mate.

Corporal Dylan Mitchell - call sign Hazard - is a skilled special forces operator. And he’s determined to show his new partner that he belongs on the team. Hazard expects it to be a challenge to prove his worth to the captain. What he doesn’t expect is to be attracted to the mysterious, masked officer. When Hazard looks into the dark eyes behind the mask, his body burns with desire for the tall, muscled alpha. And his Instinct urges him to give the lonely soldier all the warmth and love that has been missing from his life.

Ice and Hazard come together as lovers while pursuing a violent insurrectionist across the country. But when the dangers of the battlefield and the rules of the military try to tear them apart, they’ll ruthlessly fight to claim their destiny as bonded mates.

Alpha Awakened is Book One in a steamy military wolf shifter romance series.
