Premium Member Unheard
There is music in the silence, in the rest of unheard notes. That is where I hold my breath. Where the universe spins out its code for me to read. I watch as the unfallen sky reveals her mystery. Language unfolds in choreography, dancing between each blink of intention. But I have questions If time...

Things are not making sense and I am questioning if my reality is so because I thought it into being. Am I the only one hearing the truth? Am I the only one believing? I think I am in need of a witness. Archons deceive souls using the illusion of separation. The mind is the sole governing...

They're smiling leniently don’t be silly You can’t be apolitical these days I’m smiling back I don’t trust them initially, It doesn’t fall under a criminal offence I’m fascinated by the incongruous lines Just look at those familiar shapes, distorted The early cubist paintings make them shine Not blindingly, but just how you would want it Ambiguous light of green and brown...

Premium Member Vermilion, Maybe
A parrot, a toucan, a horse’s head, and a girl in red shoes follow a manikin walking like an Egyptian into the room where I used to dream. None of them speak. They just rearrange the brushes on the table and wait for me to notice what I left undone. The Virgin of Guadalupe smiles at their shenanigans— a parrot on her shoulder now, the manikin offering a rainbow shoelace, like a...

Not Insane
I'm not insane. I swear to God, I just wanted to help her. To reach out and save her. I grabbed her, to urge her to move. That's when I recognized the terror on her face. She was scared, just like me. I didn't like that. Don't be scared. I'm just trying to help. "P-please...don't." I sighed as she stammered out those words when...

DREAMY SKY
[Intro] I take not one, but two— Cassidy pens all I see. His quill carves stars into drifting steam, Spilling my thoughts like melted tea. He’s writing now, as the train rolls in— Steam like ghosts against my skin. The platform hums with names I’ve lost, And my mind derails without a cost. [Verse 1] Steam draws elegies on mirrored breath, Faces drip like incense in...

WHISPERS IN THE LEAVES
[Verse 1] He lived where silence made its home In a house of creaks and dust and stone No letters came, no voices stayed Just shadows dancing through the day Then one soft knock, a bloom in hand A stranger smiled, said, “It’s been planned” He said, “Not mine,” she said, “It’s free” And left him with a mystery [Pre-Chorus] And he said, “Why me,...

A vision of obscurity
If I watch you closely dose that make me insecure. If you're longing for a lover maybe? My love is to impure. Impleaded fantasy's I'm sick and you're the cure. Materialistic lament, hypercritical that's for sure. Under a blanket of infidelity, obscene and obscured. hearts are devoured, blood thirsty, and I want more. A monster lives inside of me. Indecisions and he not sure, If...

Premium Member Found and Lost
I found it when I was only three, and then I took it home with me. I put it deep within my pocket like a lover's precious locket. I found it calmly quelled each fear, so, for sixty years, I kept it near. One fine day, it said, "look at me". Why did I throw...

THE ENIGMA IN RED
[Verse 1] She walks in flames, a fire in her eyes, A riddle cloaked in mystery and skies. Too hot to hold, too bright to see, She’s the secret no one’s meant to keep. [Pre-Chorus] Every step, she leaves a spark, Lighting up the shadows in my heart. But I can’t reach, can’t touch the flame— Just dance around her haunted name. [Chorus] She’s the enigma...
