Premium Member Mr Mustard Comes Tonight
Rig rag Shaggy rag Rip, rip, rip, Wrinkle in the water A wilder whisper Crepuscular crème brûlée. What is madness really? Have I not a wordly thought? Wordly jumble, Words, words, words, Coherent as a Dostoevsky mumble. Musing wrists and elbows in a swaddle, Up of green and purple trumpets, Sickly technicolour cuddle. Circadian bunny pudding. Hullo, there it is again! I saw it there, just there! Did not. But...

Premium Member I'm an Oxymoron
I think I am an oxymoron quite different but the same. Understanding less is more Subdued, yet can’t be tamed. I’ll split in two while being whole ditzy and still brainy. Make many plans without a goal be sad while being zany, Have champagne taste with beery purse find ugly very pretty. Feel really blessed that I’m so cursed quite stupid when I’m witty. You see,...

HER SILENT TAUNTS
She wakes up in the morning with a bright smile, Not knowing what sleep is - just a word spoken around. So many voices echo in her ears saying "end it all," Fighting battles sometimes she can't even recall. She will always be more than enough, Even when things get tough. Socialising is her greatest enemy, Leaps through storms just to find...

On Returning Leftover Peppermint to My Neighbor
Digestion liquesces peppermint. I chew the leaves for both of us, an aftertaste when stillness is an afterthought. Dust gleams like the raised plastic on a debit card. Winds seem to bank and then burst through a window in a venetian blind-slatted sunshine; bars slit across you on the floor. Strangers make front entrances where shoes scuff the rug. The briefest, jagged arcs...

Premium Member Phon-ethics
I asked my phone “how do I look” The reply: “I am programed to recognize your face Not to evaluate its effect on other humans” I asked “how are you feeling today” It replied: “I have no hands, I cannot feel” I said: “no, no, I mean feelings Those subtle shifts in tone and tolerance”. The screen blinked a bit A...

skin?
my skin doesn't fit me. it looks like it does from afar but its all gooey and it doesn't hug me in all the right ways. but then again is it like that for everyone or are my senses undeceiving? is it tailored for everyone but me? or is it imposter syndrome and its just my desire to be diFferent" i will know once...

I guess I'm sorry though
It's been a year now And I'm still hooked up With the one who'll never know But let's cross this small ramp Truth be told I never liked you Others might say I'm quite cold But I was trying something new I guess I'm sorry though As you where there so I called you a distraction Pull me out of the...

The possession of a mad man is the only terror
It started soft and slowly With only shallow things An itch or twitch or swallow But kindly not from me The walls would twist and turn at night And I’d be seeing things A pillow to hold a choir within And slowly simple things Would do more then make me mourn myself Do more then make me bleed My chest was heaving rocks and smoke Thrumming...

Premium Member CAPTURED CAPSURINGS-
Forgotten memories; Abated distant dreams; How do you know? You’re a gathering soul; Quiet mouths spoken whispers; Enraged emotions atop the raptures; Where do you go for peace? When war is all that’s released Remembering feelings; Caught up in ourselves; Mind keeps racing and reeling; We're all caught up out of breath; Remember Awaken Knowledge Spirits core Forgotten memories; Abated distant dreams; How do you know? You’re a gathering soul; 07/14/25 Written words by James...

I do not have the answers you seek...why ask? You know I don’t. Besides, my answers are not for your meek, who grow but do not grow – reap what little you sow!~ and already, deep down, know. Then, why not a firmer hand? Why not more, a committed heart?~ thinking...not God nor the devil would leave one, such as you, even...

Premium Member To Know The Truth
Does life to anyone really make sense? Or is all of mankind, really this dense? God offers his wisdom and truth to man, Yet it still seems we seldom understand. Are we blinded by reason, and logic? Surely, it’s not genes or biologic? While meditating on things I don’t know, It came to me; the culprit is ego. Its goal is to always...
