Ephemeral Heartache
How far must I go for love? How much of myself must I erase before I am worthy of staying? I love you more than I love myself. Is that enough? No. I'll be better. Skinnier, prettier, quieter, a reflection of what you desire, not what I am. Is this love? Do I even know what love is? Should it leave me hollow when you inevitably go? If...

ephemeral
my love for you, far from ephemeral like a brick wall, bonded with euphoria and affection yet, under the pressure of time the bond start to weaken, and the bricks begin to crack. yet the wall still stands, withstanding the elements against it. but time eventually takes its toll, as the bricks cascade and crumble. the architect looks upon the...

Ephemeral
Where am I?… Today, where am I? My life is moving forward, but am I moving along with it? Is it moving along with me? I want to be carefree, yet I keep wondering—what is this worry? What am I worried about? At the same time, everything is happening, and yet nothing is. Who do I go to when...

Ephemeral Laments of Technicality
Ephemeral Laments of Technicality Qualifications of a criminal mind Magnifications of virtue in all of mankind Qauntifications of meaning you cannot seem to find Fractal notations in dreaming that you’d never leave behind Geometric cubism born of Platonic Solids Ego-centric hubris suppressing something rather horrid Eccentric nudism expressing the inappropriately florid Concentric prisms forming emotions that are torrid Looking askance at a street performer Booking...

The ephemeral girl
She--- a demon She--- a witch She--- must be torched, Thought--- the women, For she, Their men bewitched Loving what has no heart- To love back, She, comes still Taking what she can, taking, until-- She has met the devil's hand-- The change of seasons came too early... A smell of a unique summer flower Dying in the season of winter She crippled her tone Begging the season for...

The Ephemeral Bloom of Love's Elysium
Love's tender bloom, a fleeting, transient grace, A rapturous dream, a seraphic delight, Where hearts entwined in an amorous embrace, Find solace in the moon's ambrosial light. But passion's fire, though ardent and intense, Can wane and dwindle, like a fading star, Leaving behind a melancholic pretense, Of joy that once soared, now forever afar. For love's elysium, a verdant domain, Where bliss and...

Ephemeral
Ephemeral There's a lot inside me, A thing that dies every night, Every dusk that I lay on my bed, Close my eyes, and sleep. I feel a part slip away, stealthily, I do not know where it goes, But it never comes back. It digs a tunnel inside, A void that's never filled, Only occupied by Vengeance, hatred, and lies. My heart is in knots, I'm lost,...

Ephemeral Time
Sifting through the sands of time Ephemeral it fades away As water flows down the river It's constantly on the move Time and tide waits for no one Instead of lamenting the past We should seize every moment Fulfil our dreams and wishes Till our time on this earth is over And death knocks at our door....

Ephemeral
To escape world’s relentless strain, From life’s cycle, to epic refrain, Wander with Homer’s visionary eye, Where Sappho’s verses lie. A young man, burdened by false mirth, Packed his bags and left the earth, Seven mountains, four seasons he’d chart, Poseidon’s wrath could not deter his heart. The sun glinted in his disillusioned gaze, Along the shore, in a quiet haze. All he owned had...

Version #1 Petals float down like dreams, landing gently on the ground, vanishing before we rise. Version #2 Petals descend like whispers, landing quietly on the earth, lost before we open our eyes....

Premium Member Come to me today, in our ephemeral realm
Come to me today, in our ephemeral realm, Where time flows like honey and shadows dance on walls of ether, I will free you from the cage of thoughts, from the chains of the heavy past, And you will fly, magical bird, towards the ever-shining sun. My thoughts pour out like an endless river, flowing through the labyrinth of...

Constantly Ephemeral
My vantage point is clear and true, The scene below…….. it gives me pause. I watch the waves roll to and fro, Constant and Ephemeral. All around me, and in the distance, Foliage, sand, rocks, sea and sky. The motion that is so perpetual, yet Constantly Ephemeral. Light and space, openness, Distance, silence, isolation. Tiny figures in a captured space, Constant and Ephemeral. What is the plan,...

Premium Member In the dust of time, we are but ephemeral shadows
In the dust of time, we are but ephemeral shadows, Treading on the realm of a story nearing its end, Echoes of the past whisper hidden secrets to us, And we, blind and deaf, dance on the edge of the abyss. Two nuclear wars, swallowed by the mists of oblivion, Like extinguished stars in the vast universe of lies, The perpetual...

River of Liquid Glass
In the garden of flickering neon trees, where shadows dance with marionette leaves, I met a man with a clockwork heart and eyes like prisms, tearing time apart. He whispered secrets in a language of static, his voice a symphony of glitches and clicks, telling tales of constellations uncharted, and love letters written in binary scripts. We wandered through a labyrinth of velvet...
