Mid-Laughter and Lights
The flickering light as if fireflies' laughter echoes the summer air. Rides spun dizzying merry-go-round! Can't wait for more minutes ahead. A thrill to feel is here to stay around. Sweaty palms with ticket stubs hold, With sugar thrill laced in fingers unfold. Plastic pouches filled with goldfish, plushies all around soon waiting for your sure win! Come on, let's join the...

Fleeting Friends
Grown apart we became after a long while, Remember those days? Daily talks upon hours, endless laughter, countless stories, shared struggles, emotional break- throughs, as we both sit next to each other in silence. I always remember my best buddy, the one who saw me when others left without looking twice and held my hand with genuine love. A rare gem, one of its kind The time continues to pass us on, memories...

Premium Member fleeting moon
The quicksilver moon’s not secure in her orbit. I’ve heard that she’s slyly slipping away, One and a half inches yearly so a little bit every day. I, for one, want her to stay. ‘Oh meritorious silver sister, you have no dark side, and I’ve grown used to your capricious light, Why do you only hover at night?” I think of her as...

We Were Almost Always
There was a time your name felt like a beginning— a gentle unfolding of everything soft in a world that had grown too loud. You weren’t just someone I loved. You were a season. A chapter where the pages turned slower just to make it last. We were never chaos, never fire. We were rain on windows, late-night playlists, hands brushing in silence. Almosts wrapped in always. Goodbyes hidden...

Fade
Fade into the void, pale and unseen, a whisper of silence, dim murmured echo. Unheard and unremarked, an absent fragment, of drifting haze, that lingers unseen. Fragile, easily shattered, weightless and distant, an obscure hollow, of faint gray dust. Blurred empty thought, foggy and fractured, like an unfelt sigh, flickering invisible in the murk. O veiled shadow of former self, ashen phantom of better days, am I but a fleeting shade, doomed by fate to wilt and...

Eternal Love or Fleeting Burns?
You say you’ll love her till the day you die But when she feels unwanted and broken inside Will you hold her and tell her she’s enough When she’s tired of pretending to be tough Will you love her when she’s a mess Her hair in a bun, her face not at its best When she is...

Premium Member Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long
Life is short, a fleeting breeze you cannot hold in your hands for long, and the world is full of questions that remain suspended in the air, unanswered. I want to explore as much as possible, to learn about cultures that clothe the heart, to speak new languages that open doors to unknown universes, to try skills that ignite...

Cascades
Giants creep through disguised as trees. Tiptoeing by the ancients asleep underneath. A deep slumber echoes from the ground. A blanket of silence filters the sound. The mist rolls in and the forest takes a breath. A crow takes flight and comes to a rest. This mossy rock becomes my throne In the center of my newly found home. My spirit wanders, and...

Fleeting Moment, Forever Felt
A fleeting glance into a dream A moment so pure and so bright Two energies intertwined Arms wrapped around bodies A mere physical show Of a melding of souls Roots of our Past, present, and future Snake together through our fingertips Almost to tell the universe we exist Pressed into each other We share this experience...

Premium Member Through the narrow window of time, I see fleeting shadows of lives that remain unfulfilled
Through the narrow window of time, I see fleeting shadows of lives that remain unfulfilled, Men bound to desks like to foreign altars, captive in routine and silence, Souls enclosed in a shell of paper and numbers, with hearts beating under the cold light's clocks, Once hunters of dreams and stars, now hunters of signatures and senseless approvals, Strangers...

Flourish and Forshaken
Standing on a bridge, gazing at a tree, Admiring its beauty, a soft smile forming on my lips. The red flowers bloom like delicate whispers, The only attire the tree wears, as its leaves have long since faded. But as time flows, the flowers, too, will bid farewell, Leaving the tree bare, unseen, forgotten. No one will stop to admire it...
