Pollyverse

Our first published poetry collection. These cold creations come from Torkel Tennberg, and they are inspired by some of his favourite metal music lyrics.

I look up to the sample
And I text
I text to the sample in the sample
My sample text me
I am lost in a flutter of fury
The blue light softens my skin
I am found in a pool of dreams
Stop trying to text
Look upon the sample
Witness the overwhelming glow
Grunt as roots move through the earth
Together we succumb to sample
Afraid to text

It's been a while since we said hi. Hello! We are Pollyverse. A small, online digital collective for creatives and creators.

Space voyage. Demon logs - day 7643.

Particles. The evolution of light. Out of shade, emerges a glow. A distant flicker threatens to erupt. I've abandoned the fractured shuttle for this basin of creation. Shadows pulse like a strobe. Particles are large like floating croutons. They ignite in bursts, out of the desaturated belt of primitive matter. Like tiny fireworks, shades and new colours are created here. I am the black box of the old hidden universe, and I don't know if I will ever die.
