Premium Member Time Etched in Flesh
The rustling of leaves interplays with the ocean breeze, as traces of moonlight escape through blackout curtains hanging from steel rods. Bolts of illumination highlight stacks of books caked in dust, while a man, decrepit with age, sits on a worn auburn-coloured leather chair. His balding hair is grey from years of turmoil. Wrinkles lay heavy, nestled deep within his...

Premium Member Under the sky like an ancient parchment, etched with falling stars
Under the sky like an ancient parchment, etched with falling stars, I told her I would be the shadow of the tree under which dreams rest, I said I would be the place where tears turn into butterflies, That I would be the silence that embraces the echo of extinguished pains. But when she came, carrying a universe of...

Premium Member An Etched Memory
Tumbling down in a rhythmic flow Bestowed a dream appear With crystal light The ocean bright Rising in sunlit mirrors White clouds drift The sand shifts In hues of golden brown A rhythmic flow The tempo grows In harmony A gracious sound Each shillouette Stands undisturbed Gazing out beyond To find a dream Of life redeemed In poetic words And a song [] "An etched memory is that of a painted dream Wandering free...

He weeps while carving out her form From memories of long days past. Their life was like a raging storm In every weather, so steadfast. Together they had spent their lives Happy, carefree, no worries known. He took her for his loving wife She took him also for her own. Entwined in love a sweet caress His fingers found a lump one day. T'was in...

Our village has a standing stone and on it etched are many names Of village men, both young and old, who gave their lives amid the flames The flames of war to end all wars A delusional hope for sure For as we know it still goes on To kill and slaughter many more So when we lay the poppies red. Honour...

I gaze out my glass doors, engrossed in the clamorous cadence of screeching stillness, emitting electric tones of love etched in stones, and fervent flares of fireflies, stolen from the riverbed of memories, where songs we played on repeat~ to the moon and stars weeping in darkness~ reverberate like redolent refrains… And in this s i l e n c e, I question every word unwritten, as the essence...

It’s been almost five years since you’ve been gone It’s hard to believe it’s really been that long Memories of you often haunt my mind As grief can be painful and unkind Today, I stopped for a visit to your grave alone And stared at your name, forever etched in stone My raw emotions are now swirling like a storm Cutting my...

Destiny is not etched in stone, It shifts like sands in the tide, With every choice, the future sways, A tale rewritten in countless ways. Fate is not etched in stone so tight, It bends and sways like morning light. With will and heart, new paths are sown, The choice is ours, not fate alone....

drenched in pomegranate juice the sand stone wished to be granite yet a figment of imagination eluded the tomb and it was over eternally gone final impermanent the children wept crocodile tears but ancestors knew about snake bites betrayal unforgiveness treachery deception inscribed were false words and only time would tell if his wishes were granted shaded under a fig tree his begging bowl was empty not one...
