Could My Love Be Silent
More recently, l’ve romanticized the idea of falling in love through silence. Maybe it's because my mother pushes love on me through her tongue. Maybe it's because I prefer the inner monologue of myself rather than what I think others perceive me as. I don't want to faze the mind of whom I desire by saying I do...

Premium Member The External World of The Internal
“The External World of the Internal” when the Internal finally woke up, it was like all the words in that book, flew at It like flaming arrows, an external barage, a tale, of trading 10 for 50, a poetic hot mess of words it was a rude awakening from the comfort of that internal place, where once it slept, sharp shards flew...

Written: December 10, 2023 ________________________________________ A lengthwise lexicon for fulfilling any fantasy. Trapped in a landslide and given up by reality, In this vagrancy, the rocket derives no delight. Aigrette that unlocks the cosmos for sight. Admire splendor; the cosmos surely does. Each display case contains a galaxy in space. And...

Premium Member Temporary Existential Crisis Aversion Via External Validation
Do I wail into an empty space Have invisible tears staining my face Silently scream, never heard Writing word, after word, after word Is the attuned ear within me Myself I need to stop, to see No outside force to heal my woe Yes, this I know, I know, I know But the comforting feel of another soul Makes me forget myself, forget heavy...

Premium Member The External Validation Curse
I think I'm like a sinking ship Crying out 'bail me out quick!' I list out all the jewels I find Hoping their value hasn't declined Or perhaps I'm like an empty can Nothing inside, end of useful lifespan Still able to create the perfect vision But on close inspection gets derision Or maybe none of the above Just someone who is complicated to...

External
A view, looking brand new On the outside, clean and surprisingly Inside scene Covered up In disguise Internal scars Wounds, hurtful past Beginnings, the last. External to internal Unseen Unreal Feelings A great fake outside view For all to see A terrible horrible internal cause Lost for words A huge pause. Time has come Out from bondage The cover is pulled off Aired disposed of laundry. Setbacks, obstacles moved away A brighter future Much more enjoyable and better...

External Sleep Backwards
Shh...they speak as I drift into an unwaking sleep. The slowly whispers a lullaby. As spiders crawl down my body they bed for me to go into an unforgotten sleep. My veins fill with the longing dark poison. I do not weep nor prosper with despair. Each one putting a black dagger through my heart. Blood by blood,...

External Sleep
Blood by blood, my unforgiving sins unravel. Each one putting a black dagger through my heart. I do not weep nor prosper with despair. My veins fill with the longing dark poison. As spiders crawl down my body they beg for me to go into an unforgotten sleep. They slowly whispers a lullaby. Shh...they speak...
