Premium Member Detached Yet Whole
I wake to the scrape of the kettle on the stove, the faint hiss of water finding its boil. The day begins not with purpose, but with the weightless drift of a leaf settling where it may. The streets are a quiet shuffle of feet, faces turning toward their...

Premium Member The Outsiders
In a world that rushes, we step back, disengaging from the flow to observe, to reflect, often choosing not to engage, but to understand. We, the outsiders, interestingly disinterested, bring a different lens, a quiet strength, contributing in ways unseen, yet profoundly felt. For the world needs us, those who walk alone, to bridge the gaps, to offer new perspectives, to remind the world of the beauty in stepping back....

Premium Member If I Was a House
If I was a house I’d be detached Secure in my walls, untouched My roof angled against the rain My windows, tightly shut, secure My front garden neat, the back Garden uncut, scruffy, untidy My brickwork would be red My front door council blue My childhood had yellow doors We never got the blue or green My driveway would be long Keeping the world outside The gates...

Detached Wagon
A heavy load, on your back, Let it go, just relax, It's not your weight, It's all the others, Pushing their traits, Onto their lovers, It's not just you that has this weight, Millions of others bare it every day, People throw their flaws and tell you 'have em!' But just let go, it's a detachable wagon....

Detached Observer In Stillness I Observe light Green arura northern light In space, in vision A cloud of solar wind Dancing vulnerably Riding freely My twin cell is on that ride Am A detached viewer Become an extension of breath...

Detached
Detached Who are you handsome stranger, you blew into my life I looked into your eyes I saw the bloody knife I built up walls around me so no one could touch my heart But you cut them all to pieces like beautiful glass shard art Parts that were so bitter, frozen, sad and blue Suddenly became sweeter, warm, a different...

Premium Member Blackout Poetry- Detached
I'm almost disappointed when the pot of tea is off the stove. I forgot her. She stands next to me, unconvinced. I step aside and let her weep and wail. She's here for a few more days and I will figure this out. She was sick for years. 2/21/2021 Credit: Someone You Love Is Gone by Gurjinder Basran, Page 13...

Kindred Ii
Kindred (II) by Michael R. Burch Rise, pale disastrous moon! What is love, but a heightened effect of time, light and distance? Did you burn once, before you became so remote, so detached, so coldly, inhumanly lustrous, before you were able to assume the very pallor of love itself? What is the dawn now, to you or to me? We...

Premium Member Each Brick
I know all about disapproval and condemnation, apathy and consternation are the bricks in my wall; each brick takes me further into isolation, there are vines that my tears grew and under them for shelter I crawl. And in safety my predilection and reverence I explore, encompassed and bound with my words that pour; into surreal unearthliness- I drift,...

When a Pronoun Lacks a Nominal Antecedent
What is Truth? That old unanswered question. I know when I'm telling a lie though. I lie not. There I was minding my own business, making myself a complimentary cup of coffee in the hotel lobby when this man leaves his seat and stands right next to me, glaring. "Where is she?" He wore a workman's knitted skull cap. He pierced me with steely blue...

Premium Member Detached Bellies
Belly dancing can be unnerving especially if they're not attached You turn away, think you're hallucinating or just becoming detached It's not a mental disorder Though you're on the border Drugs could be to blame but mentalness seems more apt...

A Detached Tail
A house lizard’s detached tail wriggles. Flavor of parting is pain. To sacrifice a part to save the rest is sagacity. A soul needs neither fair nor the whole body. The tail’s pizzazz and warmth vanish in stillness. Even a piece of flesh is stinky without soul....
