Premium Member soul lost then found
scriptures affirm our soul exists where then is its abode engulfed by angst, deep doubt persists heart bears a heavy load when light pays homage to darkness mind conjures fear demons bemused by illusions we drown till rescued by silence sans thought, our wayward ego dies thoughts fade we yet remain betwixt bliss beats, soul presence sighs grace falls down like light rain in...

Premium Member Road To Rock Bottom
Rock bottom is a dark lonely place One people will pray to never see It's overflowing with the lowest lows Reminding you of a life full of misery The select few who are exiled there Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness This road is where desperation is...

Lost
In you, I lost. I lost a lot. Somehow, in you, I lost you. I lost my virtue, my dignity, my sense of self. I lost everything I ever knew. My feelings were absent. My heart melted into oblivion. My smile vanished. The lights went out on my world. Everything was dark and gray. It...

Premium Member Forest of Lost Dreams Felled
I wandered through the forest felled. Its stumps arrayed as scars. Its bird song larks forever quelled, to axed-silent memoirs. Remnants of trees are now a maze, traced by entrails of mists Curling up as veils between leaves, that once held memories. The moon's face shunned turned away shamed. The wind scurried around, the graves of trees blatantly maimed, through paths no feet felt ground. The forest...

Premium Member I Ruined Us
I ruined what we had With my mincing words misplaced, Words that made you mad With a feeling as though also disgraced. I ruined what we were With things in which we never concurred, Things I was just unsure Of whether it is my path that has occurred. I ruined our bond With feelings long suppressed, Feelings as shallow as a pond, In which I drowned...

Know Me, No Me
You don’t know me You don’t know me You believe you do You don’t know me You say that’s not true You don’t know me I hardly know myself You don’t know me I barely hold myself together You don’t know me I don’t know whether You don’t know me I walk the night Can you even see me I scream through the fright Do you even hear me Or I...

Where the Thorns Remember Me
Date: June 17, 2025 I wandered through a bleeding dusk, the wind forgot my name. A rose was growing from the dust— I reached, and it became the fog that hums like swallowed screams. My lungs forget to breathe. I taste old blood beneath my tongue. Each petal cuts me in my sleep— what did I dare believe? Each step I took was stitched with...

Lost and Found
The path I knew has faded far, A stranger now am I, Beneath a cold and distant star, I watch the moments fly. A whispered name, carried on a wind that remembers more than I do. The familiar scent of rain, now a forgotten melody in a silent song. Fragments of laughter, once so clear, now just echoes in...

Echoes lost in forever
What if The echoes- ricocheting off The mountain walls Were just a voice Stuck there for infinity A voice trapped Into the tangle of forever Cursed to repeat Whatever noise that is made No feelings No meanings Just the sound, Endlessly replaying Till it stops Yet never answering ...

Ghost
Where Am I? It's dark. Rain? No Its tears. Help me I'm afraid. Hello is anyone here? Why can't I see you? the nightmare won't stop. I reach out to the skies. The wind pushed me off. I can't stop falling. The water below catch me. I am suffocating hear me. Listen to my screams pour out. The fire is burning me? Who am I? So why can't...

Premium Member Under the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost days
Under the sky where stars entwine with the shadows of lost days, when sanctity becomes an echo fading slowly, we bear the burden of time like a heavy cloak of lead, while madmen escape from the prisons of their own minds, entering social fields like wild storms, their shadows darkening the sky with whispers that God has...

The Grace of Lost
The path I knew is overgrown, Its signs have slipped from view. The stars I charted once have flown— The sky feels false and blue. No echoes answer. Even my shadow forgets what shape I used to grab. I speak, but the world unlearns my voice. The compass spins in trembled hands, Its needle blind with fear. No flame responds to my commands— The cold is...

Even if there were torches, showing the safest way, I'd still walk through the dark with just a match. If that's the path that leads to, you....
