when the sky breathes poetry through sepia-streaked silence, and the earth reclines, listening to the music of weeping wisterias~ blowing in the pulse of bleeding paradise, I swallow sizzling stars within cloaked scars, comfortably blanketed in self-woven wounds. while you, the prisoner of my past, keep revisiting empty journals, lacking crystalline colors of comfort. as crimson are the lines across pages of pain, and rhymes left unwritten~ stretching through margins...

whatever I keep, I find despite outside odds - see the tell stirred magic in subconscious mind doubt casting its own spell liminal subterfuge of thought enter and exit the swell suffusing all that's told or taught where the mystics like to dwell that space just behind my throat where the unuttered resists its cell so the dust separates from the mote to...

The sinking beauty of the spreading spectrum of sadness I revel as the cinnabar sunset takes away my departing day. The joy of twilight time the last rays of drowning dusk unravel in the pensive painting of the listless life in disarray. In the darkest of nights the stars shine in the satin sky bright, silver dust disperses sequined...

Premium Member WEATHERING THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT: A REPOST FOR 2025
In this, the death-prone winter of our discontent, the world lay languishing from mitotic chaos and malignant uncertainty---spreading a pandemic cancer of destruction over the body of our moral humanity. Infected rebirth cells of ancient crusade history scatter world wide---blown like dry leaves in chilling winds of cold war seasons. Here, in the frozen season of time, Armageddon stalks democracy in the chilled...

Alright
I'm alright. I mean, I don't like the same things I used to anymore but people change over time right? I'm alright. There's this constant buzzing in my mind that steers my thoughts into oblivion so I distract myself to drown it out. I'm alright. These distractions keep me up all night and when I...

Premium Member In the twilight realm of shadows, where whispers weave tales of discontent
In the twilight realm of shadows, where whispers weave tales of discontent, Politics, a guilty addiction, ensnares the souls of the desperate and bent. Addicts of power, they wander, their hearts encased in cold steel, Lies and deceit their currency, stealing dreams we once held real. In the dark corridors of influence, where truth fades and shadows extend, Each maneuver,...

Since I was a small child and would try to sing, when we rise and sing the praises of "Old Glory," it brings tears to my eyes. Maybe it's because we have endured much to keep our flag flying--too many wars, too many injured, too many dead. Or, perhaps, in this "Winter of Our Discontent,"* whether Red or blue or neutral...
