Living finite lives in the infinite
Perhaps in wanting to understand We must abandon wonder Whether willingly for the sake of rigour and strength Or unwillingly surrendering to the unexplained In those bylanes in order to explain We study, observe dissect Practise reductionism to the last atom After that when the head rises up again Devoid of wonder, innocent lost It sees...

Premium Member Life is a lottery
We live in a matrix of unpredictability, your fate randomized at best by numbers shouted out by a bingo caller. B for birth marks, qualities and defects. I for inherent or sudden health issues. N for near death experiences altering your life. G for grand events that bring you happiness. O for obituaries and the inevitability of death. We can't take anything for...

Random Thoughts 1: Face wash
I wash my face twice a day Once vigorously As if I am exercising demons Residing in my pores And once gently In circular, sweeping movements Like I am washing away the crust of tears That have come to settle on my cheeks...

Seeing Spots
Physicists may say, 'Random is not truly random, it only appears to be,' but another theory goes, (according to me) 'Not so when playing games of chance,' (and I have done the sums) for this experiment logic states, 'The odds in favour are 5 to 1.' As I spy with my little eye, seeing spots and counting dots on a regular die, (these don't go to 11) the...

Premium Member In this tiny corner of random order, where life weaves its thin thread
In this tiny corner of random order, where life weaves its thin thread, There exists a vast universe of chaos, a sea of darkness and mystery that surrounds us, All people feel that chaos, a silent presence that shadows the edge of consciousness, But some hide from it, building invisible walls and refusing to look at it. These are...

Water, 30 random word prompt
The weight of the water is heavy in my chest, a force pressing against the ribs. It rises when I don’t expect it, like a flood breaking through cracked, neglected seams. The truck of my memory rumbles through my mind, rusty with age, hauling fragments I thought were extinguished long ago. I paste the pieces...

gutted
you keep poking and prodding at me with thorns, prick, prick, prick! and its only left a stinging, certain tingling in my body, one that has been replaced with dread. you had gutted me through and through leaving nothing more than a pile of cold sharp rocks, to replace the beautiful life i once had -- to remind me of the torture you...

Premium Member Remnants of Our Lives
Remnants of Our Lives Pieces of our lives captured in small snapshots. A single moment in time, frozen for the world to see. Fragments of a once whole life now shattered. Jagged parts of a puzzle which can’t be put back together. Are our lives mere blips in time strung together like a necklace? If this is so, the whole concept of completeness goes out the window. Life...
