Drifting Dream
Build me a sandcastle of drifting dream, just to scatter every particle in the wind... Lay me under the burden of brokenness, until the shore gives in to a new dream. ~Ayesh...

The Drifting Leaves of Days
The river flows, a constant silent guide, Where moments drift like leaves upon the stream, And youthful dreams where once we took our pride, Now fade to whispers in a waking dream. The sun ascends, then sinks with steady stride, And years, like shadows, quietly scream, We grasp at moments fleeting, swift, and brief, And find that time itself brings only grief. ©bfa040425 ...

Memories, shifting like the moonlight Fading even though I hold on tight Feeling myself floating upon a cloud Wind blowing loud Dreams that one day may do me proud Thoughts racing past the stars Uncovering my scars For all to see That's how peace finds me Dark times alone A child already grown Old man who are you How many dreams have came true To many dreams lost...

Drifting through the raindrops
I wake up at midnight To the sound of a summer storm, The breeze upon my face Feels so gentle and so warm. Then I'm looking down on An endless , clear mountain stream . . . Drifting through the raindrops in a dream. There were books I had read, High upon a distant shelf; Written by family Though there's nothing of myself. Words paint...

Citrus hints of lemon and lime Chewing on endless nuisance Depth of a refillable hole dug Mountain of trance unscalable Footsteps dissolve into echoes Swallowed by sharp currents Through mist of fractured days Incoherence sways in the breeze Hands reach but never interlock Notes fading over looping time A story written but half baked Lost in space between moments ...

Premium Member In the shattered mirror of hollow empathy, I see fragments of myself drifting
In the shattered mirror of hollow empathy, I see fragments of myself drifting, Like ash butterflies dancing in the cold wind of unspoken truth, And their words—"I can't empathize"—are silver arrows piercing through The illusory veil of superficial consolation, revealing the inner garden Where I alone grow the cucumbers of wisdom, where I water the flowers of courage. And I...

Drifting aimlessly, mine aspirations are illusionary. Drifting aimlessly, mine spirit becoming less and less lively. Drifting aimlessly, mine life is miserably empty. ...

Premium Member Alone, yet not completely alone, drifting in the labyrinth of my thoughts
Alone, yet not completely alone, drifting in the labyrinth of my thoughts, The tiny fingers of my soul reaching through the void, Yearning for the solace of your guiding hand, a lighthouse in the stormy sea of my mind. So I dash, swift as a shadow through the tangled woods, Legs straining under the weight of dread, like Atlas...

Drifting snow
Snow Drifting slowly In the night’s darkness Stars play hide and seek With the falling flakes Sailing down city streets We hold hands Two strangers who found each other To share a moment of our lives Snow The white of new promises Soft as a pillow For my head Sleep and dream Of blue skies and sunshine Tomorrow Yesterday’s memory Joy light as a feather Falls from the heavens We laugh embrace Say I love...

Drifting
There's no us in us when I'm lacking trust You want to discuss but all there is is disgust. I once looked up to you and now I can't even look The voice outside tells me to give a second chance How can I trust a voice that once was the poison I drank the water drowning my lungs. Now I'm...
