A Fool’s Flight
It may be one of the most poetic ending of all Icarus’ fall, that is Stupid, prideful Icarus The boy who flew too close to sun and expected not to burn He learned that things can be beautiful But intangible and fatal Everyone talks about his death How greedy he must be to have the opportunity to fly...

Premium Member Can God Fight?
I beat the Holy Spirit at its own game, Yet the heavens whisper, calling my name. How many Archangels have fallen to me? I count their wings—one, two, three. I ponder the question, sharp as a blade: Could God ever fight, unafraid? No scripture speaks of His hand in...

Premium Member Dionysus Markets Asphodel
Mayst tell them, though they leave a sacred land, Where every inch with rich conception spanned, With diligence, in Hades mayst they find A path that to Elysian Fields doth wind. So many burdens, all the Earth now mars; So many pleasures, circumstance doth slay; Enough, I say, of all of this, be done. For what becomes of all your struggles here, But...

The Diary Letter to Beatrice
The Diary Letter to Beatrice (A lone voice whispers, as the right hand, takes careful notes) In the deepest of silence I always walk Deep in thoughts, into my own created Maelstrom of Defiance As memories of you appear slowly, like a wild moorland winter fog Which slithers, rolls and returns With a soft hint of a time that was...

Premium Member As Autumn Falls, The Rise of the Elemmire, lyrics
Leaves labor in loam, roses endure the drouth’s weight, From the east, petals peel, in soft drift concatenate. Chariot’s beacon soars to the glint’s edge of tomorrow To know, to grow, to sow, to go Ooooh… ahhh… mmmm… Aaaah-ooooh… ooooh-aaaah… Mmm-hmmm… ohhh-ohhh… ahhh… Oooh-waaaah… ooh… mmm… ahhh… Brightly Shiny Threshing floor Sacred door The axis wobble Eternal circle Summer adieu Seasons...

Premium Member Improvised Altars
I cracked the olive pit between my molars— bitter pod, black shrine. The sea came through my teeth, settled brine, at the root. They said do not name the god, so I lit her symbol with hyssop oil and lemon peel, dragged it across my tongue like a net. The temple was inside me, sealed in salt. Each time I wept, I baptized what I could not forgive. ...

Premium Member Is it Just a Dream?
The laboratories hum with cold efficiency, believing they command the future, their sterile corridors lit by the relentless glow of progress. A miracle, they called it—stitching together creatures torn from legend and nightmare, two extinct beasts merged into a single entity through genetic alchemy. DNA of long-dead beasts resurrected into new life—their ultimate creation: a...

Premium Member For Shining So Bright, You Burn Out and Die
For shining so bright, you burn out and die; for soaring too close to the sun, you fall to the hard earth below and crash: “Too high,” judge the gods; so, as lesson to us all, you're chastened for your lofty, prideful flight. Like Icarus,...

Purple Dreams in Other Realms Continued For Contest
Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace, she shone like the midnight sun; I must confess, she looked rather whimsical sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore ! ...

They Named Me Zeus
From East to West let my servant's trumpet announce this victory over those who defied me; no Greek dares to fight me: I am their uttermost deity! They named me Zeus and look to me for guidance, I carry the thunderbolt and I strike all enemies with vengeance; they fell by the dozen in the battlefield below Athens, the ones who survived will challenge me...
