a bullet transfers to your brain it nests there peacefully til your just a mere rotting corpse slowly becoming birds feed you'll be saving lives with your own you'll love the rain it'll wash all the pain away til the day you stay you'll no longer be afraid to be the way that you were made resting in the dark alley another way to the gateway...

They’re killing innocence because that’s what they do. Bullets are made to fly and bombs to fall too. The animal is alive and disguised by a soft smile. But it will rip out and eat your heart and then politely say thank you. The animal lives a cultured life, educated and true. The animal exists in...

For what charge is this you lay at my feet? For what misdemeanour or untruth did I afore commit? Did I steal, did I lie and some innocence fall in my stead? Did I indeed do much worse and is someone known to me now stone dead? There is nothing between the daylight and the dark. No grey space...

Baby we're still young Vibrant and promising I promise you Together we can grow strong Before we get old We can correct our wrongs So let the bond be strong, holding onto each no matter the circumstances. Let's stay locked in Together we'll build Our own empire I am the king and you are the queen Ruling our...

A couple of days ago I had an encounter It was very educational Many lives in illusion They're very delusional If you're not aware You'll fall in their well Then You start living in a warfare. They believe in illusion Which is void Thinking it's reality No wonder Christ was crucified The truth is really bitter They all like sugar...

There’s someone that you want to kill, but ride it out, avoid the rope? You’d spare the chair in prisonville? Then I am here to give you hope! Number one, you don’t want blood. Don’t be Wilson, be Joe Starrett. You’ll never come to any good the day you spill your victim’s claret. Blood will give the game away. They’ll find the pattern on...

Not once did I blink, Afraid your gaze would fade at twilight’s brink, Drowning silent in your soundless sea, Begging the world to let me be, Even if death walks next to me. No past to flee, No future to believe, Only you — a shadow near, Clutching time in a crystal tear. I won’t let go of your hand, Though skies might break and...

Diving deep in the pond of the sub-consciousness I die every night, you die every night too This is our way of rejuvenating the body This may sound crazy, eerily or even spooky, However, this is absolutely or definitely true Our body makes a special trip to correct the mess Which takes place from a certain time to the other We die...

A dark cloak wraps the sky Draped in deep gloom Blind to starlight's bright glare Fear grips each ghost Running helter skelter Their time of doom Lies ahead in the night Fear at each post! Contest name: VIBRATIONS FROM A VERSO Spnsor by: Nette Onclaud Date: 24th July,2025....

I can feel it all burning down, the walls I painted in soft colors, the corners I swept clean for company— they crackle in silence. Instead of exploring other ruins, chasing ghosts in forgotten places, I should stop. Sit with the dust in my own lungs. Run my hands along the scorch marks I never let cool. There is wreckage here I never named. I’ve been walking...

Heartache swells like a bruise Sky fades to black Eternity passes And still no light Curled in lonely despair Dawn will not crack Buried so low, I am Dark coal of night!...

I feel it all.. the highs, the lows.. The silent grief that never shows. I smile like I’ve not seen the fire.. But flames still flicker beneath the wire. I play it cool, a practiced game.. While inside burns a nameless flame. A storm of thoughts, both sharp and deep.. That churns beneath what looks like sleep. I’ve danced through hell at a...

We die a little bit Each day and each night As we live every minute Gleeful or glum under the light. We die in our sleep And rise again if we’re lucky And blessed. This is deep Few people are truly canny or savvy. Believe not in all the glitters When it’s time to go or to depart Gravity behaves like deadly creatures. We die every...
