Beheading the Beheader

Beheading the Beheader
by Nomar Knight



I came across a tweet today where someone suggested beheading Muslims who don't believe in Jesus Christ. While I in no way applaud the barbaric idea, I do appreciate the right to express an opinion, no matter how insane others may deem it. 

Now, I don't want to debate the notion of religion and what people believe or don't believe. However, I do think the proposal was made out of anger because of recent terrorist events in France. With that in mind, I don't see how wanting to commit an irrational act as a response to insanity would follow the teachings of the Christ. Which is obviously my point. I wonder if I'll ever see the day that human beings stop thrashing each other and just respect their differences. Would we add fuel to fire to put it out? Then the notion of beheading the beheader is a bad idea. Though as a horror writer, it serves as a good writing prompt. 

In summation, beheading anyone in real life for any reason is a terrible idea. Beheading an  executioner in a work of fiction...might be something I'll want to read about. How about you?

Catch you on the dark side.

Unleash the Power Within by Nomar Knight

Unleash the Power Within

By Nomar Knight


There are times I wonder why the world conspires against me. It seems I'm good at stringing numerous days when I lose myself and can't get anything done. It's as if outside influences come together for the sole purpose of distracting me, keeping me away from the things I love to do.  

Of course, that's all a bunch of malarkey. I believe we attract negative or positive outcome by our demeanor, our philosophy of life. While it may be a challenge to find the good in a bad situation, it's important not to get hung up on gloomy scenarios. (Unless you plan on using them for writing horror). :-)

For all the times I have struggled to get things done, I realize the biggest culprit for when I fail to achieve my goals is me. I am my own worse enemy. When I miss deadlines, when I fail to take action to make things happen, I alone am responsible for my shortcomings.

It's unfortunate how many people are quick to blame their problems on others or even fate. They start playing the if only game. If only I were rich, if only I were slimmer, if only, if only. It's all a pointless waste of time. To truly discover the answers you seek, the possible cure for what ails you,  it's best to start with self examination. I don't mean a physical check for any anomalies throughout the body. I'm thinking more along the lines of a reality check.

Perhaps you're one of those people that attract strong, dominant types, like my character, Lorraina Sandoval. (aka, ruthless vampire goddess) Having someone around that treats you as inferior will zap your self-confidence. To regain control, you should ask yourself, "Am I push over?" If the answer is no then keep asking questions. Write down reasons why you think bad stuff happens to you. Now keep in mind that if you think you deserve to be punished then you should see a therapist,  pronto. However, if you're angry at yourself  for allowing bad things to throw you off your game then the solution is within reach. If your thinking affects your behavior and negativity surrounds you and you want things to change then change the way you think.

For many of life's scenarios, solutions can be found when clarity of thought is achieved. As for those curves that life throws at us, while the answers may be hidden deep within us, sometimes we have to wait for the right time. I always find that when I can't solve my problems, it's probably because I'm being dishonest with myself. That's when it's best to involve a close companion. True friends don't pull any punches.

Good luck to you, my friends, and don't let anyone stop you from keeping life positive, not even when the culprit is you.


Catch you on the dark side.

A Teacher's Poetic Ramblings

A Teacher's Poetic Ramblings

By Nomar Knight

 

Reflect on the journey

Emotions rattled by worry

Taken down by death

Crushed with loss

 

Worst new beginning EVER

I thought

But my people

Ignited by wonder

 

Fighting for my attention

Showing signs of promise

I'm teaching

Not really

 

Discover new talent

Angels sing

Genius their thing

Amazed they share

 

Yep sharing knowledge

Spreading happiness

Lashing out discipline

Teaching self-discipline

 

No not I

My students that's who

Taking flight with new wings

Soaring to new heights

 

So many changes coming

For all of us

Let fear not enter

Quench thirst for knowledge

 

Say goodbye to the old year

Bring in the new

Not teaching anymore

Promote learning instead

 

Looking forward to watching

These young eagles soar

Do things they couldn't before

Blessed man I am

The Dark Road by J. M. Almodovar

Meet J. M. Amodovar, she's a special teen with lots of talent. She is a kind soul and an outstanding student with a heavenly voice. This young lady will go far and I'm grateful for having met her. Please enjoy her poetry.

The Dark Road

by J. M. Almodovar

Light enters my window

I drown in its sunlight again

My heart aches from all the pain

Why can't we all be the same?

The dark road to oblivion is just a step away

I can jump that cliff

Lose myself again

Give everything away

I've seen it all before

The way I waste my life

I dive into obscurity

Waiting to crash and burn

 

Someone save my life!

Scorch my ashes

Set me free...

In the darkness of the tunnel

I can see a light

Once again, I ignore the warning in my heart

It's screaming,

"Let me fly!"

The world is a sick place

It seems the only one who notices is me

My heart bleeds again

Drowning in the emptiness of each rotten soul

Why must we be so evil?

Why must we be so cruel?

I can't help but to feel hollow,

Crushed to my very soul

The world drowns

Everyone's seen the empty shell I've become inside

They are all laughing at me

Looking at the skeleton I've turned out to be

Without thinking

I sprint towards the light

I have to keep running

Dark to light

God is around the corner

If I could just reach him,

He'd be my peace

I can't help the world

So, I'll help myself...

Even with darkness creeping behind me

I'll try not to let it destroy me

But to bring out the beauty in me

Flowering into what I was meant to be

Push My Play Button by Nomar Knight

Push My Play Button

By Nomar Knight

Before you came along

Words didn't turn into song

In a crowd yet alone

Got used to being on my own

Like the radio was stuck

A sad dude without luck

Then one day I found you

Didn't know what to do

Words began to rhyme

Kept losing track of time

If you push play

What would they say

You came to say hi

Lovely lips so shy

The hug pushed play

Loneliness went away

In a crowd yet only saw you

I hadn't had a clue

Push my play button baby

Forgot about maybe

Just you and I together

Dancing sweetness forever

Never want it to end

Then you left again

Torture this mystical cause

Like my life was stuck in pause

Your voice lingered in dreams

Almost fell apart at the seams

But fate has its own mind

It's love together we find

Push my play button please

Put my mind at ease

Let's sing our songs together

Don't matter the weather

Through the cold or heat

Let's sway to passion's beat

Yes baby push my play button

Our Deadly Connection by Nomar Knight

Our Deadly Connection
 By Nomar Knight

Pendulum of death swings near
Chorus of whimpers amplifies fear
My victims beg and plead
One quick slice and they start to bleed
Anticipation of doom feeds my need
Fully embrace our assassin's creed

Tell me you miss our seductive fights
The caresses and kisses on lonely nights
Together we make a lethal pair
Prolonged separation isn't fair
Rejoin me on our killing spree
Let burning love set you free

Obscurity doesn't suit you
It's my absence that makes you blue
I promise a memorable ride
Come on Candy no need to hide
Two souls in search of something more
You are the one I adore

Soon our paths will cross
Eliminate that sense of loss
Lucas can't give you what you need
For all his illusions of good deeds
Darkness is what you crave
Once again we'll be all the rave

Embrace who you are my darling dear
Our fiery passion will set you clear
You need me like I do you
One look in my eyes you'll know it's true
Quench your thirst for vengeance now
You'll be safe this I vow

In my arms is where you belong
With my resources you can't go wrong
Take back your gun and knife
Be my beloved killer wife
I'm still your number one fan
Your forever lover assassin Sam

Shattered Illusions by Nomar Knight

Finally a dream dances
Love skips and prances
Clouds clear away
Promises a new day

Dark whispers barely heard

Dare to take chances
Beating heart romances
Soothing songs boom
In a majestic ballroom

Dark whispers linger

Shake up life for love
Watching flying doves
Hugs and kisses find
Must be two of a kind

Dark whispers fade

Destiny confirms
Put away concerns
Made groundbreaking choices
Ignore reason's voices

Dark whispers return

The heart wants
While action taunts
The mind knows
Darkness grows

Dark whispers roar

Happiness shattered illusion
Surrounded by confusion
Just beyond reach
Promises that teach

Dark whispers consume

Despair Evil's lair
Life's not fair
To shrivel up and die
Left asking why

Dark whispers doom
