Up From the Dead
Dead, Dead. Decay and rotten flesh, melting beneath the scorching sun. Worms, maggots, and flies- a parade in time with the vulture's drum. Teasing, tearing, ripping this way and that, dashing, splashing like an artist painting madness. Bumblebee, whisper to me: Am I dead...or just asleep in the scariest dream? No... I can't be dead. I refuse to be dethroned. Oh death, you have no...

Premium Member Awake within the dream
A gentle breeze blows, commingled with light, each morn greeting our presence without fail, our senses coming to life with delight, in thought rested calm where no fears assail. Nodes within form are suffused with cool heat, God’s disc of light rotates over our head, with energy peaked at our palms and feet, our vibrant presence is by bliss beats led. In this...

Awake in the moment
For Constance's Contest Write sixteen beautiful lines 05/13/2025 The moment I cast all indecision to subsist in peace without suspicion The moment I shed all premonition And wake up in truth without persuasion The moment I find in introspection A silent blessing on strong foundation The moment I face realization And join in light and life’s celebration The moment I rise in still elation Above the anguish...

Awake, Yet Not Alive
You're afraid of dying— but tell me, are you truly alive? You might say yes, but haven’t you buried a thousand dreams? Let them rot quietly in the corners of your heart, until they become shadows that haunt you. Haven’t you become a living corpse, breathing without purpose, a flame once burning bright, now flickering? You are not torn by a tiger’s claw, but devoured by...

Premium Member The world slips into sleep, and I lie awake, restless on the cold bed
The world slips into sleep, and I lie awake, restless on the cold bed, Waiting for that call to bring me comfort, like every night, The day's fatigue lingers, but the night comes to share everything with him, To listen as his stories come to life and unfold in the dark, The night passes in a haze, and our...

Nested in the cat’s cradle Paraded in a child’s fable I have no voice, don’t let me die No longer shall I live a lie I have no soul nor thoughts to save Unbeknownst to me is this life beyond the grave? A designer dainty as she silky essence she creeps upon so free and...

Awake Beside A Stranger And My Neck Is Killing Me
fallen so fast in love in spite of my or your own good, helpless in your arms, irresponsible as you are in mine held in your gaze I embraced all the little dangers within you, what tempest would befall when all of us was laid bare, done and lovely. In the cold of November, we lay like angels sharing...

Premium Member A Magical Journey
"Dreamland can be a great place to live." By Poet I hold three magic rocks, in my hand, Rolling them over and over and over, Leaving this reality behind, far behind. These three rocks are making music like a band, one is painted with a yellow clover, if I look closer what will I find? A magical journey I will take, before I...
