i keep a teacup with a cracked rim— it doesn’t hold warmth for long but i drink from it anyway. the hallway light flickers like it’s unsure if it wants to stay on. some nights, i understand. there’s a coat in the closet that no one wears, but i leave it hanging. the walls don’t echo when i speak softly. so i don’t. not anymore. i fold myself into the quiet corners...

Or standing still. In the middle of the lake. Laughing. That’s enough! The ice cracks. Ice can crack gracefully. For no reason at all....

Capsulate, wrenching wore around the nook Never asked to swing her lips and hardness hook A scary flood of fumes, fire her tears And the invoice innocence of her beats Enormously resonant as the dark dirt Self-like a famished, fainted convert Echoes the intensity of despair, she oftenly hides Yet, quietness and lowliness wove at every side She the rose’ pearl, mourns with...

Does this answer your question, Because every time someone seems to mention, Legends always seem to make a mark, But last time I checked...

Raised in a bed of flowers Counting the minutes Counting the hours As demons devoured One second is all it took From the cracks a rose flowered Wedded by passion The time kept ticking He grew in frailed fractions With a little limp as his only friend Out of the dirt. And out of the darkness But for the rose, darkness....

Sleep, beloved dreamer, when the shadows slip like serpents through the cracks of time, Why wake when the night is a dark poem, sifted by blind stars, Keep your secret deeply rooted in dreams of black velvet, Let the night be the curtain that hides the hidden wickedness, The storms, oh, those storms within the soul, that birth a...

Windows open wide in the middle of the night, inhaling the brisk air, soaking up some moon light. It's cracks and craters were calling to me, so I pulled out a telescope to see what I might see.. There was a man in the moon clearly laughing with glee.. I said, "dear sir, what on earth is so funny?" He winked...

Like the water after rainfall stored in between the gaps of the road, my feelings of grief and torment are stuck in my heart in the same way. My heart has same cracks as in a broken road, There are no feeling of happiness planted across. The weeds of heartbreak are everywhere, And I am tired of pulling them...
