The In-Between Space
I stand between the end and start, A quiet room, a restless heart. Fifteen years of pages now turned slow, Yet what comes next, I do not know. ...

Get Thee Behind Me
Speak of the devil incarnate to give the devil his due not to play devil's advocate tho' devil-may-care the devil is in the details and while we're there to state so now would be opportune he who sups devil's food cake or devilled eggs with the devil should have a very long spoon but if we don't the devil you say better the silver-tongued devil you...

Wandering
Wondering if I should, Wandering into what's good, I could stay here forever, It would never get better, Change comes like the weather, Another feather in the cap, I stumble into another trap, Slapping me in the face, I start chasing my dreams, Falling through the seams, My ego screams, My spirit streams, Through different...

Cracks on the walls
Cracks on the walls by Adejola Joseph Cracks on the walls If a wall is not opened lizard cannot enter When a friendship is not broken There can never be a crack on the walls Wall has ears The king's ears at home The king's ears in the city That is human for you Cracks on the walls....

When my body is sculpted to perfection, When my beauty gleams without a flaw, You may whisper that I’m artificial— But I am not. I am the raw, Unyielding truth of perseverance, The echo of battles I’ve won alone. You question me with narrowed eyes, Raise suspicions like...

Premium Member Kindred Spirits
Kindred Spirit Mirrored reflections ingrained in our fate , Her thoughts shining inward designed to sedate , Heart beats sings softly with thunderous tunes, Storms infiltrate morning as we strive to assume, Relentless intentions meant to keep us immune, We stare at the full moon it’s light our cocoon. So travel so softly & reach for the stars , Our fiercest intentions...

IN THE LAND OF PEACE
Once upon a time in a faraway land There was an old man, who had forgotten how to speak His eyes would stare into the sky, void of any emotion, His scars turned wrinkles narrated an untold story His hands, never steady, always counting Sometimes in the middle of the day, he would scream But no sound would escape his mouth,...

Cancer
Cancer, a six-letter word that doesn’t mean much to most people. Then the word suddenly has more power than a shot to the chest. You think, am I still breathing? You go to the bathroom to try to pull yourself together, to share the pain with someone else. As the phone rings, you think you...

Marlaina’s Midnight Tears
In the hush of night, when the world feels still,? Marlaina weeps behind the window sill.? The stars don’t blink, the moon won’t speak,? Her heart breaks soft, yet painfully deep. She holds her chest like it might fall apart,? Counting the cracks carved into her heart.? Was she not enough? Did she love too wide?? Questions echo when no one's by...

You Are Not Alone
When darkness falls and clouds surround,? A voice within says, "You’re lost, you’re bound."? The weight, the pain, so hard to bear,? But in the silence, someone’s there. A hand to hold, a heart to hear,? In shadows deep, you still are near.? Your tears, your fears, they don’t define— ?You're more than this, you still can shine. Though voices whisper, "Let it...

When We Were Us
You stood behind, not saying much, Yet in the hush, I felt your touch. The mirror framed our quiet grace, Two souls in love, one warm embrace. You'd watch me comb, your eyes so still, The room would breathe against your will. No need for words, your gaze would speak— Of stolen time, of hearts made weak. You'd press me close against the...

His 9 was my 6
You said I never tried enough, But I thought showing up was love. I held your hand through quiet storms, But never knew how deep they cut. You wanted words — I gave you time. You wanted truth — I gave you signs. You asked for more than I could name, And all I gave felt just… the same. I saw your tears, I heard...

He'll Never Know
I loved you in the silence, when you weren’t even listening. Held on through your absence, while you kept on vanishing. I stayed when you were distant, I hoped through every lie. I gave you all my colors, and you just watched them die. You never read my story, but still, you felt exposed— as if my pain betrayed you, like truth you never chose. You say...

REALITY OF LIFE
When you're hot I mean when you start Glowing or winning Instead of them to flow They start looking for faults Bringing the past you've outgrown to shine Just to bring you down Stay strong, so they won't think their plots or plans have been manifested. When you're happy They'll do anything To make you bored Just to see you...
