Premium Member Spreading Ashes
This sentinel, with roots that grip the soil, A continuum witness of seasons' endless toil. Through storms and sun, a beacon in the breeze, once a life of strength, among the ancient trees. But time, marches, and its sharp axe will fall, gently splitting, as life begins to stall. The leaves, once vibrant, start to turn to gold, a final chapter of...

Ashes
Let us start at the end because that is where it all began Ashes I clinched my fist because I did not want to let go I literally watched you slip through my fingers I cursed the day The day I looked into your eyes, lying there On a bed that represented hope Until that moment The moment I realised that you were...

Naked Ashes
Why are you waiting your house is burning Run while you can from the blaze inside What will be left in the morning after But naked ashes and tears — uncried (Dreamsleep: April, 2025) ...

Premium Member Respect
We live and die completely In the material world It would be rather fiddly To emulate a Phoenix bird Our ashes can’t be bothered Inside their marble urns No point in fire hazard Cause we’re already burned It sounds flat simplistic Therefore it’s dull, I know I’d love to be a mystic To make of life a show I’d love to talk with God About my perspective...

Premium Member strong winds blow
strong winds blow it appears the poet died today he was afflicted with a broken heart seems he had no more words to say he’d already done his part so they got the oven ready cause he wanted his body to burn and they held the tray real steady and poured him inside an urn seems the poet flew over the calming seas more freely...

Ashes of Despair
In the shadows of a fading room, Lies a heart, a fragile thread in gloom. Time, the thief, steals moments away, Leaving whispers of love in decay. Bridges once burned now smolder and twist, Ropes set ablaze, memories we missed. The laughter of children, like ghosts in the night, Flickers...

Premium Member WHOSE WILL BE DONE?
Between the blades of dewy grass Mingle the particles of fresh dust Their colour bleached to grey. A bird descends and pecks for food, Finding nothing it ascends today Climbs higher than the trees, away. Weeks go by without a soul Tending the ever growing grass. I chose that tranquil spot For them to be blended in the soil That many years before received The bleached...

Love that can't be Mine
I'm the phoenix And you're the sun Even i turn into ashes I'll reborn from the ashes To love you again To fly towards you again Even I know i can't get you Even I know you can't love me back Even i know I can't touch you Even I know we can't be together Even i know it's...

Ashes of Paradox
Monstrous faith, Blasphemous state, Cursed to a Lazarous fate. Phoenix ashes tracing a Brownian route, Genie dances with an ambient view. Casting spells where destiny brews, Crafting cells where reason skews. Factual sprawls as time distorts, Actual flaws that time contorts. A paradox script the cosmos writes, A Faraday cage,our fate locked tight....

Premium Member Phoenix rise from the ashes
Walking on Egg Shells Each step, a fragile whisper, Cracking beneath the weight of your gaze, I tread lightly through the shards of us, Every word a potential storm, Every silence, a noose tightening. You wore charm like armor, A smile that could disarm a heart, Yet behind it, shadows danced, Manipulation dripped like honey, Sweet but thick with poison. I learned to read your moods, A...

Premium Member The Ashes of Us
The house is quiet, her voice is gone, I let her drift like morning’s song. I held my pride like a burning flame, But it was me who struck the match of blame. She gave her heart, but I turned away, Chasing shadows that led me astray. Now all the dreams we built are torn, And I’m left holding the thorns of...

Premium Member In a sea of roses, the ashes of your ghost still wander
In a sea of roses, the ashes of your ghost still wander, breathing you in deeply, I try to pierce through the veils of time, but to no avail, only a bitter emptiness fills my weary soul. Fate tempts me, taunts me with the echo of your voice, in the dead of night, when sleep refuses to be my...

Ashes Of Our Love Affair
my firm belief in your words that i believed it to be true you played your games but hid your troops “i love you”, is what you said but it lacked the feeling of you memories i woven on a tangle thread but you burnt it down with me and you ashes from your fire reached my crown and our ill fated love reached...

Out of the ashes
In shadows deep, a moment changed, With scars as stories, my path rearranged. From whispers dark, I found my voice, In every stumble, I made my choice. The world now glows with vibrant light, Embracing life, I rise and fight. With hope as my guide, proud and free, I live...
