"The amount of good luck coming your way depends on your willingness to act". Quote by Barbara Sher ______________________________________________________________ Whispers of disobedience float in the air.

Premium Member Renaissance - First Place Contest Winner
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions. By Leonardo da Vinci. In a chasm of hate, shards descend, Crystallized thoughts; their paths now bend. Splintered and cracked in a furious fall, Merging, dreary roads white lines extend. Evil spirits spew out an obnoxious bawl. Minds split, mixed with a malignant appall. The emancipator, a beacon of brightness, His vicious...

Premium Member Propinquity - First Place Contest Winner
Loneliness is never more cruel than when it is felt in close propinquity with someone who has ceased to communicate. Germaine Greer In the orbit of nearness, where hearts align Where synapse evolves into a cherished sign, We descry ourselves in place and time. Bound by a close and familial rhyme. Physical wistfulness and togetherness, Creates a suture of joy...

Premium Member Compartmentalization - First Place Contest Winner
Compartmentalization, a labyrinth of the mind, Dissociation, a dance with fragments blind, Fragmentation, where sanity threads unwind, Within this mental content, secrets we find  In the depths of the psyche, a world untold Dissociative identities, stories unfold, The heart weighs heavy with stitches torn, Tender scars hemorrhaged; love core is worn. Dangling damage, as shattered glass, gleams Reflecting on the chaos, the pain, and...

In a world of mellifluous dreams, Where whispers embrace in soft moonbeams, A moiety of verses, murmuring in rhyme, Revealing the secrets of an arcane time Nemesis, the muse, with susurrous breath, Weaving tales of love and death, Her voice, a sigh, a melancholy strain, As she plucks the strings with a gentle domain. Ensnared in the web of her melodic spell, Lost in...

In a world where chaos roams, The human howl shook the domes. Lissome and slender, with grace to spare, A vision of beauty beyond compare Her demesnes are poetry, dancing on air, With each step she bears, it is a mesmerizing affair. Her body, so lithe and so effortlessly appease As if she's been kissed by the breeze. Her limbs flow such a...

In Twilight's embrace, I met a love divine, A tale of passion and a heart entwined To the one who set my soul ablaze, I pen this ode of fading echoes and lost days. With eyes as stars, you stole my breath away. Whispering promises that would soon decay. In your embrace, I felt invincible and free. But skimpy did I grasp...

Caress the broken heart with threads of muted sound In the depths of sorrow, let hope be found. Unravel the pain, stitch by stitch. With melodies that heal and gently enrich.
