World is not beautiful
War isn’t new. Our world has been bleeding for centuries, crimson rivers running beneath the cities we call beautiful, masked by glass towers and neon lights. They build malls on buried bones, schools on scorched earth, paved roads across old battlefields where children once fell. This isn’t a fresh wound—it’s a festering one, hidden beneath...

Pixie within the pink
Pixie within the pink let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets. Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...

Inizio - Introduzione Alla Violenza
Questo è l’inizio del Gioco che piace a noi Perdenti: innocuo inchiostro riversato copioso, di anatemi imbrattate pagine sprecate da chi dispensa vendetta senza metterci la faccia. Ma a quale scopo? … STUPIDO LIBRO, IMMONDO PARTO CESAREO, VEDRAI SOLO LA LUCE DEL FUOCO CIRCONDATO DA MILLE Occhi Spenti… … Ecco a voi… PICCOLI ASSAGGI DI AMORI VIOLENTI … ...

Premium Member The Horse Stable
‘Live in the moment’ they say but it's hard on a winter's afternoon, inside, warm in a comfortable chair when the mind drifts, wanders off to find a park somewhere at the end of a childhood street. Dragonflies patrolling the hot, pine scented air and sunk in the shade, an abandoned stable thick in spider webs and behind a half door, a long,...

I Am From pt1
I was born and raised in my house, which isn’t home. At heart, I am from the orange brick house in Westridge Farms Where I never even lived There, the pawprints I stamped on the driveway may have long since washed away But I still left my mark Even if it was just in the eyes of the horses that...

Premium Member Smiles Of Childhood Days
A sudden drizzle gushed along the street, That I wiggled out , romping and playing In my cotton jumpshirt as summer cooled, To allow a downpour of monsoon rain. Swerving through puddles where debris Gathered around little tots' feet, Our lithe bodies slip-skidded, glided On a roller-coaster ride of muddy suds... what fun! Then, I picked dingy...

Daring Distance Gracing Gap
It is a weird one, To keep gracing distant sun... While moon could bail fun. Dry lips are so tight, To put words up at such sight Daring distant fright. While principles flow... Yet couldn't keep deeds off blow, In reality's show. Why not dare decide, One your past truly confide Shouldn't be denied? ...
