Trapped
I’m a rat trapped in a cage. Spinning my wheel round & round forever. The days don’t start & the days don’t end. I just exist & at the same time I don’t. It makes me wonder if phantoms are real & if they are is this how they feel? Like they’re floating outside reality....

Eco-anxiety over the big cats, I am in fear of an empty space. Sitting on top of the food chain in their absence balance is off. Every day they slowly decline, eco-anxiety over the big cats. Panic is no longer dwindling, increasing as numbers shrink. The racing pulse of a lush forest every creature is a part of it. Eco-anxiety...

Premium Member Love cannot be controlled or confined
Love is thinner than a piece of cheesecloth, transparent yet confusing to navigate. More conservative than a political debate More hearts are broken than mended . I am determined to search globally for an end to this love. We desire it fiercely and embrace our fate to heal humanity. Love may be a fleeting remedy, Yet we pursue it with fervent...

Thoughts in Fog
My thoughts are hard to hold when I know they're hard to shape. Like climbing out of fog just to fall into more. I try to dream, but worry gets there first— a shadow curled up in my brain, wide awake at night. Even sleep feels heavy. Even silence buzzes. Even breathing sometimes feels like work. Life, in general, just won’t let go. It presses in— quiet, loud, never still. ...

flying lesson
The flying lesson White as a shroud, the virtual paper in front of me I wanted to record my first flight in a Dakota plane  Inside, the aircraft looked like a bus, reaching under my seat for the parachute, the steward said there wasn't, but he handed me boiled sweets which I didn't eat in case it was a drug keeping...

Premium Member It was nine degree outside in April
It was nine degrees outside in April In the chill of a dreary April day, I find myself wandering through the dimness, My eyes were straining in the absence of light. As I approach the door, a sense of familiarity washes over me, pulling me back to a time of comfort and solace. The thought of retreating to the inviting...

NOW THAT WE ARE AWAKE
NOW THAT WE ARE AWAKE Now that we awake – We had all the long while Been in deep dreamless slumber And while we were still Still slumbering in our Unreal bed of red roses They planned, practised and projected What “tomorrow” would likely bring Now that we have realized with pain That the “tomorrow” we failed to plan for Has changed herself to...

Premium Member The Watermark
The mark of water is an empty void. It washes clean. It slips through fingers, It has no cup, leaves no trace For it is the primordial spark, the fountainhead of life, the matter and medium that's within sustaining all living things. The watermark you speak of is the scar of what lingers, after water has been and gone— the scum that clings, the salt crust and...

Inner World Of A Tormented Mind
Like a dust that has been blown away If I only had the chance to really say But I can only stand on the dock of a bay Within this soul there is a empty world inside With no one near or anybody far Not even a single wound or a mere scar No love, hate or pride Just a place where...

Behind her eyes
Scratches all over my body, Pouring into the glass of wine that spilled over my wound, Counting on my fingers, the night terrors, Scrambling to find the door where my heart belongs. ...

I was never part of a family never on a team never felt comradery No one ever stood up for me people bullied me I was alone Poor me Poor me Poor poor me She held a pity party for herself daily In the lunchroom at work ruining lunch for the rest of us All cheer and jollity are extinguished when she enters poor her, poor her, poor...

Premium Member Moonlight Lit on Pond at Night
The moon glows like a pearl on a dark pond. Ripples fracture its reflection beyond. Shadowy edges become a mysterious scene. With its face becoming alive to gleam, a demand that you read its lips and smile, to the omens it brings with gusto and guile. The moon above has a fixed stare, stony-faced! Reflected in the pond, it's wildly debased, Crying...
