Open Your Eyes
? Open Your Eyes ? Open your eyes, not just to the light But to the stillness that waits in the absence of sight Truth doesn’t hide in temples or skies It lives in the silence behind your own eyes You search for answers in pages and speech But the knowing you seek is just out of reach Not because it's far,...

A side of me PT1
I don't know how to act I can't even behave Is it a fact? I'm not even brave Her voice rings in my head I'm not sure if I'm losing it Starting to feel dead I think I should sit The world seems grey I haven't seen her smile I don't know what to say It's been a while ...

Premium Member inherit the wind
We are inheriting Art and Arc Of trying to understand. How once, we were fingers, Born of the same common hand. Miniatures born into this land Of thought. Tactile each, and that ought, To have been enough. But, In the sound of each brushed whisper Overheard in the billowing clouds, We fought the thought Of the popular injunction. Loud as a newborn’s...

Broken Glasses and Shattered Hearts
How long does it take to break broken glass until it’s broken beyond repair? How long does it take for avoidant eyes to finally learn to stare? Will it take long enough for glass to pierce my shattered, battered heart, Or eyes that will never look that way from the very start? Does it take a fool or a...

Words captured in amber for all eternity—valued for their unique resilience as the tides of time cannot erode them. Our deeds like skipping stones on water sink in although they go unrecorded; the ripples soon fading from memory, becoming a distorted reflection in a cracked mirror. Tides gather the echoes to...

Premium Member Perhaps I should pick up a hammer
Insidious is internalized inception What's real with all these questions? Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in Broken legs but I still chase affection These walls are my blank expression My mind is the home I'm trapped in It's lonely inside an unfinished mansion The sharp truth most people gaslight themselves and don't even realize it... Have I detached so...

The Mirror
I opened my eyes when it was too late. The river passed before my wide-open eyes. I missed my childhood; I was a prisoner in my mind. Neither God was called, nor nature invoked. Fate took the driving seat of my life, Only regret will not compensate now! The grass was greener, The sky seemed clearer, And when I look back in the mirror, What...

The Prismatic Self
I say the word and feign a Freudian slip From between its legs duplicities drip Often doubling as a quip and tasting chalky, just a bit History will record the troubling truth that I never existed if I don’t submit I’ll submit this thing as if it’s a soliloquy while being transparent with reverse psychology When transparency is brutal it packs a...

The Cage Upon the Wave
Though caged in a corner where gallows still loom, Beware — for it sails on a wave of dark gloom. A wave from the sea of existence runs red, A net cast through nightfall and daylight ahead. You, sovereign hawk in this narrow domain — Be not content, for these bars still remain. Yet I bring good news from the breath...

a line drawn in the sand of time plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye curled edge of what’s real what’s not that line that never should be crossed plucked from the depths of my mind’s eye things we’ll forgive but not forget built an imaginary fence washed away by tides yet lingers curled edge of what’s real what’s not distinguishing what’s...
