Dark Life
Can we just not talk ? Everything that will come up you will only accuse and not understand. All I got under my feet are unfriendly rock. And there is no one to light the dark life that settled on my land. (18.07.2025)...

Reaper
The Reaper I know, You respect no one. When you decide to take one home, Age, color, accomplishments mean nothing to you In your court. You harvest every soul At your most convenience. In life's prime and low, you strike hard Without any consideration. You cause unexplained weeping And a void that will never be filled. You take when you want, Without...

Premium Member How sharp those failings cry
I look upon the world today as I have done all my life. A laugh, a smile, worry or ok, it needs to be met head-on for all its strife. Some days I’ll wake and feel the sun recharging my fading smile. Some days I’ll wake and no matter how bright the sky sorrow will darken my mind. I’ll...

Light and Dark
Light leads darkness, Dark follows light, Both learned to embrace each other, And listen to each other’s plight. Light wanted to illuminate the world, Give every corner the warmth of sun, Leave no corner untouched. Dark wanted to calm the world, And give the peace of night, Give the world peace of mind, from their little trifes. Light and Dark so different, But their bond was...

A Spectral Owl
Cloaked in a fitting grey suit and bow tie, She floats like paper kites across meadows. From a hollow in a tree, her eyes pry~ Her loud hoot startles nearby sleeping crows. The spectral owl, with her faint, surprised look, Watches as the crows flee into the dark. Then silence reigns, curbed only by a brook, And chirps of birds in the...

Premium Member The Great Oppression
This the great oppression, only the strong survive/ Never let them press you, stay strong or die/ Make them respect you, you gotta get it how you live/ In the field, it's real, so I can't chill/ Officers caution us, they feel we tough enough/ Behind closed doors and restraints, they tough as us/ Administration Segregation is a safe prison/ I won't...

Premium Member Life's weariness o'ertakes me
Life’s weariness o’ertakes me Each step demanding more Calling forth a shivering strength Leaning on a rickety fencepost Turning its face from the stinging gale Whispers of weakness winnowing resolve Failing flames scorching a yellowed page Darkness seeping from an idle pen ...
