Where the heat meets the flame
Where the heat meets the flame I don't care for love... don't care for much, You've taken away everything... with your filthy touch I don't feel your pain... though blood pours like rain I'll meet you there... where the heat meets the flame These chains hold me down... Bind me in place This evil haunts me in my dreams, with his stone cold face Don't ever let...

Fulcrum of a rose
Sponsor : Unseeking Seeker Date submitted: 23/6/25 my soul-rose has a fulcrum sometimes veined petals spread across skies unknown, thorns ready for piercing when blood too perfumed passionate both melancholic forlorn yet vulnerable as jasmine or sturdy as oak delivering acorns unfurling as time dictates centred flaying flavourful tracked in swirling lightning bolts across citrus clouds circling gone with gardenias grandstanding geometricized...

Volcanic Eruption of the Soul
There lies a fire beneath my calm façade, A silent heat that years have tightly sealed— But deep within, where quiet tempests nod, A furnace waits, too long and too concealed. The tremors rise in whispers through my chest, As passions pulse like magma's molten flow; No peace can bind this hunger into rest, No dam can hold the truths I dare...

Premium Member A FAITH-BASED PERSPECTIVE OF WAR AND ITS DESTINY
A FAITH-BASED PERSPECTIVE OF WAR AND ITS DESTINY Murder is a crime Unless it’s in war; Then it’s all legal: A death penalty For the innocent:- Our reality, Is not of heaven; Wars have no angels: Only its demons; Scavengers of peace:- Yet, let’s be of faith, Laboring in love God is on our side, And has canvassed hope: ARMAGEDDON:- ...

Premium Member Dining Etiquette
You've missed a bit, there on your chin. Thin reeds of river grass and fish— cheeks-deep in roe, mud-covered twin, you've missed a bit. Let's bumble on to spawning's pitch eat salmon-seasoned trout—with quince, furs drenched in entrails glazey drip... I long forgave your glutton sin, big Grizz, I swear there is no hitch, just time enough, to feast with friends you've missed a...

Our life a horror movie they played to us in real life
Our life a horror movie they played to us in real life In horror films black people die first We always make smart decisions And yet they still manage to find a way to erase us even in film They don't leave us alone Not in life Not in death Not even in fiction They do this to show...

Alone
My sombre shadow trails me, My own friend i’ve personally handsewn, It comforts me, Somehow I don’t feel alone. When the sun diminishes, The absence of my beloved lingers.. With only the moonlight’s comfort, I’m starting to feel alone. Enwrapped with nothing but solemness, I watch flocks of birds fly by, The sorrow - I could not bare it, I...

Premium Member THE ULTIMATE NATURE OF WAR
THE ULTIMATE NATURE OF WAR Sown love reaps world peace, While sown hate will reap world war: Power its sower:- Sharers of love will sow peace: Profiteers of war, sow hate:- World peace uprooted, War’s deforestation plows World devastation:- Armageddon coming: God plowing us a new day:- Be ever mindful, War is a power monger’s Child of destruction; And will be chastised by God: Its navel giver uprooted:- ...
