The Ground Beneath Our Feet
Deceit's bitter taste lingers like burial rice cooked in familiar space The sharp edge of betrayal cuts deep from within, a wound that never heals Innocence fades like pencil marks erased as life's indelible script unfolds The ground beneath our feet will be our roof a somber truth we cannot escape Loyalty's test lies in water's gentle flow yet...

Premium Member When the Truth Broke in Two
I remember the first question I never had the courage to speak. I feared I would not receive an answer, and feared even more if I did. words were born from hunger, not from dreams. I had no dreams, only roads walked by others, and I clung to the edge of their shadows, like a child forbidden to ask where is the mother. Wisdom is a...

Premium Member Ophidiophobia
Ophid air of misconception Polarizing those of superstition Hideous to some and Indescribably beautiful to many Devoid of human soul Involved in man’s downfall Only to be cursed as Pretense of innocence Holding unfounded fear Of snakes who serve Behind our sight with Intense appearance and Always omnipresent...

Inner World Of A Tormented Mind
Like a dust that has been blown away If I only had the chance to really say But I can only stand on the dock of a bay Within this soul there is a empty world inside With no one near or anybody far Not even a single wound or a mere scar No love, hate or pride Just a place where...

ACROPHOBIA
songer.co/song/r8btoho3abg0psszqle86vkb [Verse 1] Girl, I’m caught between the thrill and the fall, Your shadow’s tracing cracks across my wall. Electric hum beneath my skin, Addicted to the mess I’m in. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers call me higher, but I grip the rail, Chasing sparks that flicker — I can’t bail. Every heartbeat’s a quiet fight, Lost inside your soft, electric light. [Chorus] Acrophobia, yet I’m chasing the highs, Hands shake...

The Dagger
I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere. You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see. The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection. The harmless object when it’s inside its box. I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere. You’re the scariest thing for the heart. The deadliest weapon for the soul. The...

Premium Member Tomato Soup
I never liked tomato soup - that thick slurry of red in a white bowl - childhood winters, Friday nights with a menacing dark pressing against the window as if trying to get in. Tomato soup looked too much like blood poured out of that suffering pictured in the vivid imagery hung along the stations of a child's mind no matter if blest by grace. When...

Blank episode
I was lost after a night out and couldn't unlock the screen for directions you walked to the pub you can't be far just ease yourself over this railing and slide down the wall so you can take a short cut through the car park cursing all the while but I know the tube station's nearby and it must still be open pushing the...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand When presented with a choice Transported by a full force That lands me in a false chance Yet, I stand. Breaking the shackles That held me in my ankles So tight like a buckle Wrapped in my knuckles Yet, I stand. What is given is a Token The heart that bleeds is broken The life that fades is taken Certain thoughts can't be...
