Premium Member In the labyrinth of appearances, life stretches like a carpet of shadows
In the labyrinth of appearances, life stretches like a carpet of shadows, I still dream of walking barefoot through storms of stellar chaos, letting stones embroider my skin with love in shades of amethyst, the ash of yesterday erases the traces of relentless lightning, the ignorance of loneliness swallows the stars on the mysterious horizon. Entrusted to the tormentor, I...

Premium Member Trapped in the labyrinth of appearances
Trapped in the labyrinth of appearances, we weave our stories like spiders of our own minds, We uphold an incomplete wisdom, a mix of fantasy and folly, which envelops us with shadows, Our words are echoes of the dark side, that part which whispers unanswered questions, It wonders if it's worth it — the repetitive routine, the perpetual...

Premium Member Broken mirrors crush me under deceptive appearances
Broken mirrors crush me under deceptive appearances, mutilated wisdom whistles hesitantly, the heron gropes, flying through fragile fantasies and follies lost in the penumbra Penumbra that pulses, words flow like a black river rolling shadows, Shadows that gaze at me with empty eyes, routine breaks my shattered steps, meaning seeps away, I wonder if the murmur is worth it The gloomy murmur of the...

Appearances
The distress... fatigue, combined with restlessness, tossing, and turning. Assuming I possess more energy than I truly do because what is worse, exhausting oneself or lying there, depleted? Many of us meet our end wishing we had remained true to ourselves. At the very least, I desire this aspect of me to persist until the...

Romance As Tragedy, Part Ii
...First off it seemed that her husband had no been an abusive man, just a nebbish actually, it was clear she had worn the pants. She’d married him for security, and his needs she’d most ignored, she hadn’t strayed to seek out love, she’d cheated because she was bored! Deep down she’d craved the bad-boy type, the kind she has slept with in school, and...

Romance As Tragedy, Part I
I saw a talk-show interview of a new author, all the rage, she had sold two million copies, her book is everywhere these days. It was tailor-made for women, a downcast wife looking for love, verbally abusive husband, trapped in a situation tough. Until one day she went out west, going on vacation alone, her husband said that he had work, brushed her off, she was...

Individual Appearances
A. We merely appear separate, individual -- but that is form and not essence as water is steam, ice, snow, dew ... B. Waves will tell you they trough, rise, crest proudly, only to crash on the shores of dissolved unity. C. The ground or ether will enforce oneness and unity on THIS body one day....
