Premium MemberConscience

...This war, with allies unified
                  (reminds of German genocide),
leaves mandates, empty, purified,
                  (as human flesh is nullified),
enticing persons (pale, blue eyed,...

Premium MemberNothing left in the concrete

...My concrete dried beneath regret,
No footprints left just silhouettes.

I scream through porcelain but cracks don't form—
Just echos of a lifetime; body-worn

An engine heart with rusted gears

He Sees You Not

...His beefy heartiness is a cheerful note,
but one that cannot be sustained for too long,
the one he greets
            is pummeled into a certain shape
by his concrete perception.
He squirrels yo...

Premium MemberBarely Sticks To his Routine

...And the hearse did rehearse its path,
Though the skeleton held dearly
To his ground, smiling loud.
He was bare - needed a shroud,
With his straight bow, grinned severely.

For it seems,...

A Tortured Poet

I am wrapped in darkness, crippled by the chaos in my heart.
Swallowing tangled foxgloves of regret, I spiral....

Premium MemberImperfection

...Washed adrift, unable to reach the floating shoreline,
Lost in a sea of bitter loneliness.
Saline-soaked clothes stick to weary bones.
You become just a mere mirage under the intensifying sun.

Sometimes it seems that who I am

At the edges of a hollo...

Premium MemberIn Marked Territory

...I surf through the crooning crests
of warm, blue waters,
breathing poetry and prose,
carved in topaz and turquoise,
for I am the goddess
of the bittersweet estuary,
crowned with foamy salt ...

Premium MemberThe Magick Of A Misfit Huitain

...Candle wax drips calcified tears, 
riptides of dreams burst boundaries;
Drops become circles never squares;
Out of the box locked in a freeze
with rough edges it aims to please;

Don't Misunderstand

...It's only my heart.
Chipped away, calcified
fragments all over the place.
Coherence that's all.

Always fluttering
touch and go

Premium MemberThe Relic

...
It looked like a bleached tongue
pulled from a mouth,
petrified and incapable 
now of letting a word slide over
its calcified silence.
I picked it out of the wet sand
and held it in my hand. ...

Dancing on the Edge of Desire's Ledge

...


              To wallow in the fires is a tempting 
surrender.
A swan dive into the maelstromic implode

Standard

           In the depths of desolation where death 
is presiding in a smug kind of cocoon of parasite,
lies, a heart of calcified care, buried deep inside 
a grim stalactite of unrequited te...

Wicked Web of Woes, Collaboration with Ink Empress

...“Wicked Web of Woes” 

Is there a reason
to rhyme when 
lifeless fingers
breathe toxic agony,
whilst disgraced

from wildering 
riddles swerving to
the stillness
