The Discarded, The Forgotten
I am accustomed to spitting out bones of my prisoners, not witnessing their escape. I hear whales whistle their stoic dirges as I descend—they know the doomed are villains and freedom is promised to the brave of the brine. I am Devil Damsel, doomed as villain deemed with jagged teeth of unworthy. I am a...

Premium Member Concepts I almost discarded
“I traversed the path from blind faith to wisdom ~ Recognising within me lies God’s kingdom” ~ quote by poet When I was a child, I was told God exists but growing up, seeing chaos in the world, I debated this concept in foggy mists, deluded no more, when flag of love unfurled, the elixir that...

"You're hurting me," I whisper, afraid that a louder voice might turn the truth to reality, my words could pierce your ego, turning you cold, uncaring. Scared of the truth. Scared that if I say it, I have to confront it— and I don’t want to...

Premium Member The Discarded Tissue
a discarded tissue wept, as it fluttered slowly against the cold hard pavement hoping to feel the heat of a caress one last time haunted by the memory of a brief strong tender embrace she lingers on the ground, limp used abandoned she still aches for the wind that will carry her back to her lost lover...

Premium Member Discarded Gold Alchemy
Plastic bag pixie sealed with her four leaf clover was thrown out like trash; Bubbling magic left to die in a junk pile; Shimmers were fading on cardboard like rainbow oil as a boy walked by; Luckily he saw treasure amidst the grime and pyrite; Rainbows reflected fascination on the street; Picked up a sparkle; Discarded gold alchemy, much more than a speck...

Premium Member Discarded Candy Dispensing Machine
I sit in the back corner of a dark musty warehouse now Discarded, forgotten, despised, unwelcome, bereft. No one has been in this place for at least sixty years. Once upon a time in my heyday I was revered and petted. Children squealed with delight as they approached. They laughed and giggled and chuckled about my candies. Fat women covertly looked...

Discarded
I feel broken, incapacitated This Migraine Disease has stolen So much time from my life But also the relationships So many cannot cope With someone with chronic pain So we become unworthy Slowly people lose touch Or some create stories To fit their agenda that We don’t fit into anymore We are not believed We are histrionic No one can have chronic pain that...

A Discarded Plant
A discarded plant was I that a traveler, a kind, gentle traveler, picked gently up, and planted in a rich, fertile land to make me a tree, a big, blossoming tree, but no, - not for him, yet for all the passers-by. I’m that tree, that tree, that he wanted me to be, with boughs so bent and so low, with fruits full of ripe and so raw, caring...
