Lotus flowers grow from black mud. This is what Aaro sees, standing at the edge of a pond full of lotuses in the garden. Beauty rises from darkness. Pink petals open above murky water, green leaves spread like hands on the surface. The roots know secrets the flowers will never tell, how strength comes from places without light or colour. What was buried...

Premium Member Through the labyrinth of my thoughts, I float like a shadow on murky waters
Through the labyrinth of my thoughts, I float like a shadow on murky waters, seeking meaning in the silent noise of the world, where men believe their lives are extraordinary, but in essence, they are nothing more than withered leaves carried by the wind of indifference. Their stories, like crumbs scattered on arid ground, awaken only a desire to erase...

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” — Maya Angelou Dark thoughts offer me great despair, sparking rhymes who say I don’t care, shadows drift across moonlit lanes, troubling fear, who echoes my pains. Dismal dangers breath twilight’s tears, aching, trembling ‘til the smoke clears, tossing, turning, all...

Premium Member The Murky Pool Of Past Meomories
Upon reflection Making ripples upon the stagnant murky pool Of heartfelt sunken treasured memories Of yesterday that went all way too fast That meant so much to me upon With each day yet another smothering shadow cast Now I cannot breathe I heave And find it So hard to live When I was truly faithful And had so much to...

Premium Member The Ocean Beckons -POTD
The waves crushing her tiny body with striking blows White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows Moving sluggishly towards the horizon Because of a recurring vision she hopes she’ll arise in Her feet digging deep into the sand as it sinks between her toes Emersed, with arms folded she prepares and off she goes The cool oceans...

Reflections in murky waters is never clear Kind of like ones fear Not sure what you really see In all the possibilities that be Imagination takes flight This can't be right It fills in the blank with the thoughts of the worse kind It's goal is to cloud the mind Make you unsure Truth becomes a blur Darkens all you see Hard to break free Fear of...

once … there - with trunks of monkey’s meth there grew a breadth of bunky breaths deplored by dreaded, drunky deaths to calm their chemic coggers the fame of phlegmic foggers so deep and dark those dribble bibs didst dig their dearest double-dibs and drowned, the fartish fizzles fibbed and, preened with puzzled puzzlers quite choked their chucking guzzlers tho bending tendrils tripped those drips while...

Premium Member Tales of a Hero
After a long drought, it started to rain. Breaking the spell on the parched plain Rainfall fell steadily at the begin. Quenching the land and everything within. Many hours later of continuous rain Torrents of water swallowed the arid terrain. Debris and buildings quickly swept through People and animals lost their lives too. Hearing her screams over the roar of the thunder. A...

Premium Member He Was the First To Step Into the Murky Waters
Adventure had been born with him just like his very heart, Facing challenges and taking risks had been, for him, fine-art; His selection, hence, as a warrior, was purely cogent, Toward solving any problem he proved himself potent...! Situations got grim in the border of his placement, Shells spread like dead sharks above terrace or below basement; In dark, dull, dim,...

Ghostly Shadows Set a Murky Stage
A dreary sun shoots its milk-warm and colorless sun rays that in this jovial season should be harmonious and radiant; raves themselves are wearing the funeral dress... they croak, lament, and cringe at ghostly shadows that set a murky stage toward early sunset... shouldn't everyone raise their melancholic chant? If gold lures avid seekers so does our luminescent sun which slowly crosses...

On the Bank of the Murky River
On the bank of the murky river whose current is so rough, sneezing in the rain of dandelion fluff. In the robins morning call and the white tailed hares vacant stare, in that foreign language my name is spoken. But no more words wasted describing eyes in terms of their colour or the weather. It’s been long enough,...
