Premium MemberThe Violin Player's Introduction

Violin player's eyes are starry
beauty like the glitter,
The notes take to dark-ness
strong bones don't wither
deep sea's treasures
blue and color green
inside a pirate's eyes.
Don't confuse the seasons
to chills of the Winter-time,
undecided or believe lies
Not the warmth of Bret hen.

To forgive is to take
away your sole lake
and the ruminations
of this abandoned town,
This too is a sin of pride
and vulnerability
red toxins into splashes,
echoes are deathly sounds

Cracked smashed windows
like the dour of pavements
but the detail is amazing,
unlike a city of simplicity
drones in for a coffee,
but lets shrug off the rest.....

He picks up the instrument....


Premium MemberSilent Cry

I cry silently,
My soul has wounds.
My breath pins,
In my chest.

My eyes tired, 
Heavy, dry, & red.
My rest brings,
No comfort.

My face is empty,
A person not there.
Lost is my soul,
Wondering within.

Disconnection,
Punishment,
Withdrawal,
Unbearable.

Premium MemberDown a lonely spiral

He sat alone as outcast.
Cut himself off all family and friends.
Dark thoughts circling above him.

Premium MemberGrayed Out

Some days the world feels two sizes too big
Yet I walk through it like a ghost in my own skin

Nothing dramatic
Nothing loud

An unexpected heaviness settles into my bones
The kind of ache that doesn’t shout 
It just whispers getting up will be a battle

Even the small things feel sharp 
Light hits wrong no matter where I stand 

People ask how I am doing
I give them the version they can hold
The one that won’t make them shift their eyes
The one not prompting a helpful response

Inside it is quieter than it should be
Darker than I ever admit out loud
A place where I try to keep moving
When every step feels like quicksand

Premium MemberAlone In A Crowd

Do crowds make you feel unseen?
Wish someone knew your name
What would it feel like to be heard?
Maybe you need break the silence.

You’re mouth makes no sound
Footprints leave no trace
Your heart forgets it’s warmth
No one calls your name

You wander through the crowd
Wrapped within a shroud
No one seems to care
You are a nothing but air.

No pain cuts deeper
Than being unseen
Nothing more crushing
As having no voice.

When walking a busy street
Notice the shadow.
When looking at a sunset
Hear the unspoken words.

See the quiet in the crowd,
Hear words left unspoken
Love begins the moment
We choose to see the shadow ….


Premium Membergrave

I
Had long
Lost my wings
And abandoned 
The heavens above, 
Living within the earth
To be tread upon until
My bones, my eyes, my heart, wore down -
Forgotten amongst the soil once more. 
My discontentment drowns within the mud
And leaves only a gouging longing. 
Tell me a story where I can
Open my dirtied wings wide 
And take that final leap; 
There's no need for graves
Or tombstones when
I already
Dug the
Hole.

Premium MemberAmoris Anonymous

No longer does the subtle breeze
Bring relief on searing days
Hidden below the willow trees
Wherever  love-thick  fades
And leaves bleed
Or with the shadows on the moon’s farside
Along the dark lagoons
Of forever abandons collide 
And where no one notices extremes 
Swarms of wasp stings
Sluggish are the foothills furthermore
No way into the clouds
Forgotten by them
Love’s tragedy victims
Are hers to spare
The bond of love,  
Amoris giver,  no longer is seen there
Numb are the empty wells
Tears no longer fall
Dry are the fields 
Where she lays her lowered head
Nor do the flames of affection feel
Not even the weeds sway across the fleshy
Fruits that fall for her, 
She is anonymous 
After all

Premium MemberDepression

Darkness swells like salty Black Sea
Ebony moods that tarnish a breeze
Pickled words and a soft sour smile
Really absurd how alone in a crowd
Energy zapped and perspective flawed
Soul feels trapped and sadly lost
Sunny songs traded for songs of moon
Indigo eyes braiding light cursing too
Onyx soul embracing painful feelings
Needing to know there is holy healing

Premium Memberin the dark, silent night

blackness 
impacts our days
as dirt beating caskets,
when the thorns of silence
would impale hearts 
with fear.

Premium MemberIn This Moment

Too hot
Everything feels too heavy.
Suddenly sick to my stomach 
Once comfortable clothes are now too tight
Heart is now beating too quickly
Trying to remember how to breathe, it should come naturally
Yet in this moment, it feels like a foreign language.

Premium MemberThe will that won't be silenced

The will that won't be silenced

They stopped my limbs from walking
I close my eyes
I see myself running field to farm
They cannot catch

The prison cell of poverty
I lift my pen
I pour my vitriol onto page
Riches echo back

They educate my fragile mind
I check my facts
I note that every source of truth
Contamination

They tried to keep my legend low
I fan my flames
I burn their broken records
I write my own page

They tried to silence my freewill
I laugh out loud
I live my life without regret
Fears fade as love wins

Premium MemberDepression

It comes without warning, 										
a gale of damaging demons, 										
all from within me.                 										
These terror tremors 											
have no witnesses to view 										
The winds are relentless, 									
navigation is reeling.
							
The next day the sun rises 										
and this dance will start anew.										
I try to stand strong on board,										 
my friends are a less few.										
Titanic waves will continue,										
with this thinning of the crop,										
it will not stop.
																									I am now one of the last standing, 									
with a different dimension,										
to ride this wave is to lean the sail windward.								
The only salvation is to become another,								 
an entity that is just a rendition.

Premium MemberTo stressfull for vets'

The nudging to kill farm livestock off
Is resulting in vetanarians in the U K
Leaving their vital posts.'
No more to add, this government is
Beyond sad.'

Premium MemberAging

This later time in life
I presume nothing;
no longer await with
joyful anticipation nor
fear – a year’s end
seems further out of 
reach, focused more
on the moment I can
whittle away.  Better
somehow live the present
regardless...reface what 
I can – for death has no 
future; love~ dimming
as memory.

Premium MemberPersevere

The older I get the more I grow
It’s apparent to me I do not know
There’s always something to learn 
Keep on moving as the world turns
Why are instincts in animals so strong
To thrive and survive and carry on

Yet in some humans who have despair
Suicidal ideation thoughts are there
No one is perfect and minds can be 
A source of pain a source of peace 
Coloring life’s lenses we silver see
Sifting cleanses setting souls free

Do not forget in your pact with death
You may transfer pain to someone else
You must be certain that you persevere
Despite cherry challenges fuchsia fears
Lift up your spirits with the Holy Ghost
Always near us when we need Him most
