I stood on the gravel pathway, feeling the wind gently kiss my face, and the sweet scent of cherry blossoms, mingling with the air. My hands went up to my mouth, covering my gasp, as I saw him kneel down on one knee, a velvet box in his hands. A gentle smile adorned his face, as he looked...

I'm not insane. I swear to God, I just wanted to help her. To reach out and save her. I grabbed her, to urge her to move. That's when I recognized the terror on her face. She was scared, just like me. I didn't like that. Don't be scared. I'm just trying to help. "P-please...don't." I sighed as she stammered out those words when...

There are places not meant to be spoken of. They say beyond the edge of stars, Beyond light’s last breath, Where time forgets to tick And God no longer watches— There lies The Dark World. Not a planet. Not a shadow. But a chamber carved in the ribs of the cosmos, Where silence was born, And screams are swallowed whole. It is here, At 33 minutes past...

It wasn't the storm that ravaged the dark sky, nor the heavy silence that settled like a velvet shroud, not the muffled cry beneath layers of quiet breath, but a single tear, from the left eye, falling secretively, slow and full of meanings, carving its deep truth on the face of a man who had never known tears. They say the...

Our heart wanders lost through the dark forests, and our dream struggles in the castle of doubt, with echoes of uncertainty, but within us sings a secret music, a melody that knows no silence, hope is pushed into the abysses of shadow, but the angel rises again, taking us with him in flight, in the wings of light that...

I have a brain. But not just any brain — I have a brain dog. It doesn’t sit. It doesn’t stay. It runs. Fast. Far. Wild. It sniffs every thought ever thought. Dreams in 4D. Overthinks lunch plans like it's nuclear policy. Sometimes... it chases shadows. Dark ones. Horror-movie-type thoughts. So I lock it up.! “Time-out,” I say. “No more mind mazes today.” And there...

I feel so bold I have a firefly’s heart Black wind blows drowning the stars Demons dance leaving faithless scarred Do you have a chance rainbow in the dark I hear a song from long ago Before I was a sparkle in eye Melody that brings you close Even before you live or die How can it be He calls me Despite the devil’s...

All together, let us do the chicken splash, Seeing how pink-orange sun never lasts. Don't fight it, red stars are coming soon; Like the ducks, let dive in stormy lagoon! Through maroon monsoon, we all dance, splashing and laughing, in silver romance. Steel blue skies, cluck cluck. Run amuck! If still seeking that rainbow, best of luck. Hopscotch through puddles, sepia splash. We let...

I was drenched in black water, Yet, it looked as though I were dried out. I stood before a lighthouse, Yet, remained unseen. Gazing into the sea’s blackness, The highest tides forever circled me. My eyes could find no anchor, As my dark hands sailed towards the farthest shore. My home, too, was cloaked in shadow; Something unseen, yet present, walked with me there. The...
