Premium Member Carnival Nights
There was a chill in the air that night, as the taste of spun cotton candy and stale popcorn floated through the breeze. Lifeless clouds hung in the sky, moving swiftly past an ever-broken moon. Remnants of rain clung to weeping blades of grass, as a shattered heart cracked under a ribcage in disbelief. The...

Really a goodbye?
Nobody told me The fear of losing For loving someone so hard Was something so harsh Saw you then not too long after Give or take just years later Turned my head back, saw your smile Happiest I've felt in a while...

Shattered Heart
Do you know how it feels to be No one's first priority? The feeling of being alone While your friends are falling in love. The time when you needed support But no one was there to. The anxiety of being accused When you did nothing wrong. The fear of getting rejected By the one you love. The pain...

Premium Member Imagination
When, in darkness, there's but a single ray; When, in cruelty, there's little kindness found; Then in imagination could I stay; A private realm, and in perfection crowned; And I thought of dreams, in that certain way. When, in darkness, there shines a brilliant ray; When, in cruelty, there is a kindness found; Not in imagination would I stay; Let private thought with...

AI warning in verse
Shines would soon be taken off poetry, When machines replace humans as judges, By then wisdom will have fled human minds, Making AI seem more intelligent. Poems churned out will then be wishy-washy, Since standout ones will have been discarded, As machine junks — confirmed by machines, So undeseving of recognition. As more and more inferior works are praised, At the detriment of...

Premium Member Laughing Willow
They say the willow weeps for me They play the willow song What if the willow laughs and we Perceive its rustle wrong The willow dies of laughter though We still believe it weeps I’ve seen two seagulls flying low Beneath the willow’s sleeves One of the seagulls turned its head Another seagull grinned The leaves were falling on my bed Spinning in the...

Eyes Through Depressed Lenses
Depression, It’s a silent killer. It’s like being stabbed in the back, But it’s Invisible. The pain is sharp, sure, And your screaming at the top of your lungs, However to everyone else it's as if you lost your voice You're powerless. And so you just sit there; You feel paralyzed, While the world keeps moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, And you're just stuck. That's...

Black hole
Why can’t I exist without you? Each time I try to leave you suck me back up into your blackhole. Can’t help but love you for the way you make me feel it’s like a loop of love and I’m stuck in it, swirling around your finger and getting caught up with you once more. But I...

clouded
Today, the sadness slid in like fog— not sudden, just there. Heavy without being invited. I sit with it, ashamed, like I’ve broken something sacred by feeling low in the presence of someone so bright. She laughs like clear water, touches my hand like forgiveness— how can I ache when she exists? But the ache doesn't check who I love, only who I am. It loops. A guilt for feeling, a guilt for...

I Lost My Body
If I could go back in time, I’d go back to when I believed in soulmates the way I believe the stars in the night sky guide us to a predetermined destiny. Poorly illuminated by the moon, leaving you to seek yourself intentionally. Well, I’ve learned you can throw away fate when you make an extremist choice, deviating against that destiny. Like salmon in...
