The Jagged Edges
“Should we deny ourselves pain, we would deny ourselves entry through many doors in our heart leading to where our soul patiently waits.” Poet
Many cannot conceive truths the faithful believe,
such as jagged edges lead us to deep places
where tranquility waits to be reality.
If only

The Jagged Edges
The skyline cuts through faded tones,
With moonglow blazing gilded bronze
And fluid my ink is interlaid
As nightfall drifts like a peace shroud
The glass pane teeters in the breeze
With my pen zigzagging on damp papyrus
I hear an old couple laugh on the alley
Their banter

The Jagged Edges
The barbs she threw at him
left jagged edges on them both
torn from deep within herself
raw, bloody pieces of meat
hurled violently across the room,
the space, the endless time.
They cleaved to him, each

Jagged Edges No More
The jagged edges tear apart
The cornerstones of her heart
Each day, there's an emotional dart
Thrown by her counterpart
The husband's venom impart
And sadly, she's his push cart
Where seemingly, she's his spare part
That he abuses with his mouthpart
She's fallen to her knees and kick-start
Thus, a bullseye that cries for a depart
For the jagged edges

“Not all pain howls, some sharpens”
by poet
I never asked to come out clean
life carved me raw on purpose
some parts were shaped in silence
the rest I had to burn
not all soft things were meant to

The Jagged Edges
Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16: 18
she stood tall on the jagged edges of the cliff
face worried as she noticed the rough seas
whilst above high dark clouds rumbled
though the sun shone straight at her face
could it enlighten her about what had

The Jagged Edges
Natural things are rarely smooth
or flawless as they appear on the surface
Smooth fur on skin and curve on wing
are rough and jagged underneath
Push back against the grain shows true texture within

Blurred Edges of Us
I still think of that day,
rain pitter-pattered gently around us,
clouds were the color of gravel.
Your smile broke through shadows,
and our laughter mingled like gold.
Paint splattered against a canvas-
that's what we were.
Unpredictability. Chaos. Adoration.
Does any of it make sense?
Does it not make you want to crawl

Frosty Edges
"I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape—the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show." - Andrew Wyeth
Gentle flakes wish on frozen stars
Poetries, like grace, write memoirs
The night sounds like a shadow’s song
Listening to rhythms who belong
Moon rises against

I wait for the words to burn within me, like flames licking the edges of paper
I wait for the words to burn within me, like flames licking the edges of paper,
To erupt from the depths of my stomach, raw, gnawed by bones,
To make me lose nights, turning in the darkness,
Tangled in my own thoughts, like in a net of broken dreams.
I do not write if I do not open up,

The Dual Edges of Social Media's Sword
Social media, realm where whispers fly,
A land beneath the vast digital sky.
Here, every word can travel far,
Each post and tweet, a potential star.
It binds the world in a tight-knit web,
Where thoughts and cultures easily ebb.
A platform broad for voices small,
In this grand stage,

In the gentle embrace of dusk, where the edges of dreams blur
In the gentle embrace of dusk, where the edges of dreams blur,
your shadow whispers secrets to the silence,
and in this stillness, so many things begin to pulse,
a stirring smile from a dream,
captured in the boundless silence of longing,
on a forehead creased with wonder...
These fleeting moments give the heart its highest reason to beat.
I do not

Blurred edges
Edges seem blurred..
A short story
Seeming to direct
Attention to the
Appearance of
Edges which
Divide no more
Never did divide...

We stand on the edges of the silence's abyss, you and I, in contemplation
We stand on the edges of the silence's abyss, you and I, in contemplation,
Looking at each other, but in silence, against the backdrop of a tumultuous world.
Separated by a deep silence, vaster than any chaos,
In this space between us, only our gazes intersect, speaking without words.
It's our silence's abyss, a chasm where words find no
