Curse of Fear
My time has finally come. The consequences of my actions have once again caught up to me. Though in truth i was never running. Looking back i can't help but wonder what kept going wrong. Why couldn't I just do it right. To be so cursed yet blessed at the same time. Fatalism inhibited my progress. Fatalism weakens my resolve. It's a...

Premium Member Plague of Artless Lies, AI
O' cloned creations, mirroring deceptive diction scattered in liquified letters, across android canvases, here comes the plague of fabricated foolery, spiraling in figments of black and white illusions, injecting illusive veins screaming for vanity, with verses plagiarized from villainous valleys. There’s nothing poetic about the way AI is pickpocketing rhythmic runes from the museum of dead poets ~ immortalized on the walls of glass galleries. Their sonnets, now imitated, to adorn artless skies with stolen...

Plague
God, cure me of this disease, A ever-lasting disease, A disease of the heart, A disease of the mind, In which love-sick fools seem to linger, I have looked far and wide, For its end to come by, God, how I wish this was a lie, But now I'm amongst the infected, Blindly, being by...

Premium Member The Obsidian Plague of Midnights
In Spring there’s friendship that’s lasted through the Winter, all those cold nights of salted drops and quilts of snow. The obsidian plague of midnights, melancholic drapes, but all the while the candlelight of friendship did glow. you’d think she’s the sun - i wax and wane in restraints having lost my way The flickering of her tongue as she wet our...

Escape From a Plague of Pain
She searched for Paradise, instead, the road led her to a land of demise. A plague of pain had rolled out on this land, it had spread across, through the evil tongue. She looked around, mainly suppressed souls were found. Silent roars of their sufferings extend for miles, screams were suffocated, behind fabricated smiles. Foul tongues were twisted together, gathered under narcissistic scarves. Sharp words were wounding...
