Premium Member Whispers of Autumn with Winter Looming
A leaf dried to brown maraca, rustles. Moon-beam driven breeze, curls in ears, whispers. Subtle call of summer's passing, puzzles. As green summer grass fades to grey, whiskers. You can hear the patter of dew, pinging. The limbs of trees squeezed, tight and shrunk, crackling. Bells toll the end of summer's reign, ringing, As the cool winds shake the eaves loose, rattling. Geese...

A World of Looming Danger
A world of looming danger Save my soul oh God Remove my shadow from the table of vanity Pave my way with the light I need Show me the star I am And never let my spirit separate from it The day are tougher Yet you make my soul hotter to face The era of intoxication How can...

Premium Member Looming Conflict
Love’s touch gentle could not cope With barbs of an unconscious mind So took a step back in earnest hope That God bestows sight to the blind Rose in one hand, sword in the other Prayer in heart and song on our lips Innocence beseeches Divine Mother May all relinquish ferocity ego grips...

Premium Member Looming Shadows
In the depths, where shadows loom, A tale unfolds of a vicious cycle. Where poverty and despair consume And dreams crumble amidst rotting isle. From the ashes of broken dreams. A spark of hope flickers and gleams. In the darkest corners, where agony resides, A glimmer of light and solace lies aside. Amidst the chaos and relentless plight, A spirit rises, determined to fight. With...

Premium Member There In the Fast Fading Shadows of Looming Dusk
There In The Fast Fading Shadows Of Looming Dusk There in the fast fading shadows of looming dusk emptiness sighing as space in an empty husk broken only by the dark whispering of Fate and swirls of wind playing savage tunes of- "too late", Dare I, to enter through its harsh welcoming door attempting to deny that gaping hole life tore or...

Premium Member A Looming Fog
I feel as if I'm on a boat, floating on a narrow river, driven between its banks by an invisible strong current, leading me to God knows where. On either side tall upright poplars stand on guard as if I might try to escape. An early greenish hue tints all and ahead of me I see a cloudy thick fog. I wonder who is...

Mountain, Looming Out of Fogs
There's no exaggerating it; What reduces pride. Lifted, for a lofty being's; Who would rather hide! Man, a god, did on how many A squirming, shaking Little fright, just that forced choice With unjust cause bring? Standing alike o'er, stony-faced And as sharp-outlined. An intimidating presence. Sky-tall. Sky-enshrined....

Death knocks on our door A mere courtesy Needs no permission Offers no reprieve Nor grants extension Quaking in fear Feeling helpless We pause the cause Of contraction No regrets No goodbyes We move on Light smile Detached Void 08-October-2020...

Looming Feeling
I admit, I've had a beer and smoked some sticky green But the pain always lingers and never truly leaves That feeling of loneliness, I reach out and no one cares While the world begs for it's savior Not even realising he is there... I'm not what you thought I was I didn't even come the way you imagined But I'm suffocating in...

Premium Member The Looming Darkness
Depression has caught me within it’s talons, Leaving me with a feeling of pure disappointment Making me to believe that I don’t deserve happiness Or the love that helps me to find my way through This desolate, desperate place of darkness and gloom Worry has trapped me within it’s lasting clutches, Forcing me to feel like an impatient, yearning neurotic Whispering pessimism...

Looming
I saw the curtains dancing to be beat of the wind I saw the sun excreting snow And moon bleeding fire I saw love crying As humanity fades away in the speed of light My heart rumbled ferociously with massive earthquakes in sight And my soul pants bitterly as humanity walks closer to its doom ©ABSOL ?????...

Disaster Looming
Disaster Looming Since this virus Has come to be, All unnatural Happenings we see, In the store, Pray it’s not later, That you find toilet paper! Hurry! We need more Everyone’s breaking down the door! No sanitizers! No bread! No eggs! No napkins! No paper towel! No aspirin! This is a mortal sin! This is totally unnatural! Hundreds of thousands Collecting unemployment, We have a military deployment! Companies closing! Gyms closing! Pools...

The Music Was Loud That Night
The music was loud that night. And the lights were flickering but bright. We were hugely surrounded but romantically secluded. In a club where the music was loud that night, my heart felt light. We danced at the beats like birds set free, and then drowned shots, one two and three. Our story was similar to Cinderella’s, it was...
