Listening To the Pelican's Affliction
What has brought him to this cheerful place? Is it curiosity, hunger, or an escape from loneliness? A mild wind from the East caresses the gleaming waves, and he expresses jealousy with deliberate rage; his small nest was destroyed by the wrathful storm of February, vainly, he searched for it through the bushes of wild huckleberry. The mid-spring sunrise is...

i was wrong, i am sorry
behold, the Paranoid Schizoid. lost in the void, he’s an android. the Victim of a cruel trick, a tragic sort of magic, there was no favorable pick. i can see it in your eyes. they don’t speak lies. we were caught off guard. oh, my life, a splintered shard. during the sunshower, i confided in the loudest flower. and just like that, said the Bard, i’m somebody else’s...

Premium Member Does the Noise in my Head Bother You?
Tinnitis is annoying, with little tings going off in my ears, and crackles and rings. With this noise in my head I dread going to bed, This affliction's such a terrible thing.

Love is a catastrophe, a bittersweet madness, a wild affliction that invades your soul, Disturbs your peace, devastates your routine, transforming you into a shadow of what you once were, Each moment under its spell an odyssey of contradictory emotions, Like a storm sweeping across the fields of your heart, uprooting the fragile roots of balance, And yet, when...

Rebirth
Scorned and ridiculed, She carried her affliction for years. There came a time when she bled. Until one day her body buckled And there laid she in her scarlet pool. That filthy maiden was as good as dead But Jesus reshaped her from earth’s dust And delivered her from the hands of...
