The Cold Hutch
Living in the sunless cold hutch of till death do us apart, sits a chipping soul. Never had he thought she did be a blotch of many shades. Spitting and pouring scorn on his dreams of a happy home. “What? Are you even a man? Your mates are out there...”...

Premium Member A Meme of a Meme of a Meme
The world today Every thing at our fingertips A meme factory Consuming everything And feeding everyone A rapid endless stream Satisfies the insatiable For the briefest instant But robs us all Of lifetimes Of discovery And so we are initiated Taken out of our mind Into another Stages of the path Snakes and ladders Life hacks And buried treasure Whatever it is that holds Generates And shares the meme The light within A hall of mirrors Knows no...

Premium Member I Hate this World
I hate this world I'm living in I hate it to the core I hate this world I'm living in Can't take it anymore The hate that sparks a genocide Does anybody care? The theft, the lies, the cover up Is there much more to bear? I hate this world I'm living in A place where children die Abused, neglected, underfed The world stands idly by I...

Prologue
Felt this uneasy tide of disdain the world around me seems too mundane eyes have lost the shine lost the path I never knew was mine this seems like a never-ending dream heard an encroaching scream uneasy rhythm oozing from these pores saw a reaching hand, but it was all too blurry salt brimming the eyes, my lies swallowing me inside never...

grey drapes the colour of my realm thick heavy fog pervades over my thoughts that wander to where I do not know i cannot see in bursts of silence i gasp for air a stagnant emptiness is all i find it boils it rages and yet i feel it true that with tomorrow blue skies may come again AP: 2nd place 2024, Front Page Pick 2024 Posted on April...

Grey Angel
In the woods lurks the grey angel; Wingless and disillusioned, he awaits The onset of diarrhoea, Bismarck’s jocular displeasure And the seagull’s lugubrious weightlessness – Later than previously, he erects A flag made of wormwood Brought all the way From the ceiling of an underground café in East Berlin - He sighs….and it is like someone playing A musical saw: it expresses harmoniously His perpendicular musical...

Disillusion
When seeing a woman always downcast, the man asked: Why that you are always so, sad to crying... What's wrong with you? Don't you have the air to breathe, the sun to warm you, the water to quench you...? The wind does not caress your body... Do you have a chronic wound, a pre-existing pain...? you were attacked crowded, shot down in hunting...? -None of...

Disillusion
Burning midnight afternoon waiting for you in the square lived from love to psyche... The pigeons consumed my bread meal and I dreamed just to hold you... After a thousand kisses we were going home Life seems to be rosy... Memorable times of wine and rose we were blissful, anyone could tell... Time... Ah!... It's been so...

Disillusion and Idealism
The fluffy snow melts slowly, its whiteness is stunning... and turning into torrents of rain, it sets grief on people's faces! Passing sails are a delight to see, but the anchored gondolas grieve, they miss lovers who sang arias; can sunset change the air of sobriety and offer dreamers some real hope? No, gladness is not found here! Smiles are not influenced by emotions,...

Beautiful Disillusion
Candle bright affection is melting Trust is on the wane, our love light is flickering Vows of fidelity was such a beautiful beginning Heartfelt words spoken with sincerity had no echo fear of ending This love burned so bright, but only for a short time Until waxen tears of disillusion started doubt dripping Beautiful plans, glowing promises dissipated so fast Passionate hope with a cold lip stroke turned into...

The Cynicism of Disillusion
THE CYNICISM OF DISILLUSION or Perhaps Hamlet was right. Disillusion frames the drama of our lives As we lurch through props and sets with pratfalls tripped Wood Pigeon soars to self applause and then subsides Fine woven fabric inadvertently is ripped Why essay to climb the peak, perchance the ending Where demise succeeds your rise, while descending 16 February 2019...

Premium Member I Loved It
I really loved it when I had that bubbly youthful nature I’d wake up enthusiastic Hopeful for what each day would bring Years of disillusionment pecked away And eroded that bright fragile shell It’s most unfortunate because It was so unequivocally uplifting That smile on my face seemed permanent As much as that fresh sense of joy and hope Exuding from my guileless heart To...
