Premium Member The absence of hope nests upon my shoulders like epaulettes of desolation
The absence of hope nests upon my shoulders like epaulettes of desolation, with its poisonous warmth that has burned my skin to the bone, leaving purple scars, crimson cuts from endless waiting in the antechamber of miracles that never come, and yet it's strange how hope extends its hands with free bandages, like a merciful lady. Despair no longer...

Fall of the Rainbow Bridge
All is burning, cinders and ash flakes float in black rain, falling on a ground of clinkers and flinders. The hand of ruin traces sigils of chaos and strife on broken city walls, within which rats awaken They are the true rulers of destruction, living cloaked with shadows, in any crevice or crack, hunting bones and burnt flesh. Their rivals, jet-black birds, massing on heights above in their murders and...

jeremiah jeremiah can you see me, standing in the parched land where no cistern holds water for none flows in the chambers of my own heart jeremiah can you hear me, foolishly digging reservoirs of emptiness where cracked and crumbling rock can hold no more than dust and create no more than despair jeremiah can you help me hoping that my thirst...

This is your home address, you said Seems like so many years ago Now it’s a memory asset We don’t live there anymore The lawn has grown a bit too high No one shall come to sweep the leaves From the doorstep, and the sky Hangs down low over the hills Your flower beds are in decay No one will care for the...

Apocalyptic desolation
Writing writing on the wall I see the future Soon to call What's to come Will surely pass I'm not afraid For it won't last The sun will rise And it will set What's Meant to be Hasn't happened, Yet! But it will I have no doubt While I'm here Or after I'm out So many possibilities For me to think about Will it come In rain of fire Freezing cold An artic Myer Dropped like bombs In...

Abandon
Abandon... The wind whispers through hollow streets, a voice of sorrow, a breath of loss, ghosts of footsteps long since crossed. Abandon... Walls crumble, forgotten and worn, echoing laughter that once rang bright, now devoured by endless night. Abandon... Shadows stretch with hungry hands, claiming all that lingers still, devouring warmth, devouring will. Abandon... The silence hums a mournful tune, soft as dust upon the air, a requiem for those...

Change
As I stand bare in rain, There's one thing I noticed among the void In this valley of desolation and pain Humans fit in puzzles meant to get destroyed. As I stand across all alone In this field full of flowers newborn, I know deep somewhere, fragments of hope Wait for me still, down this heavenly slope. As I stand on top of...

Short Letter to myself
Hey girl! Sleeping with a heavy heart still? Unquestionably, I understant! I understand the anxiety, the pain, the depression of things not going your way. Unquestionably, I understand! I understand the weight, the suffocation, the desolation. But hold up still, Wipe off tears still, And Hit the road, For, the journey ain't over yet!!! ...

Joy of Desolation

When Gold Melts Away - Sflu Rm
Lovely rose that faded for a long time Engulfed the feeling of desolation, But only at the shine of precious dime That you hear the sound of its affection. For, when the day is about to retire, The somber feeling comes back like echo; The night takes away your only fire And muffles the sound of your...

Premium Member Desolation-Destructions
Desolation and destructions Wars and rumors of wars Trial and error, midst the terror What are we fighting for? Why? Must we ignore? The writings on the walls Whose gonna drop the bombs Not I, for I wanna just live Live again to die never Destructions desolation; Rhythms without a dance; Drums beats in the dark; Trees no longer grows in the parks; Why? Because they burned them...

Soul's Desolation
Worse than being homeless, Living where it's a home "less." The panic attacks and numbness, It started where she wanted love to be. The whole world crushes, and nowhere to go, The place she thought would bring her peace. Now it becomes hell, more like a prison. Leave, run, and disappear, Faster, but not so slow. In hopes of being called and loved, You're foolish...

Desolation of Time
Death comes to all, including the passing of time Encapsulated within are lessons and memories Some are best forgotten that we can learn from Only if we are willing to learn we may understand Leaving things as they were cannot keep going on As we will keep making the same mistakes again Time to take stock of what we truly want...
