Premium Member A Journey Into Transformation
War shapes the warriors it touches, leaving behind vestiges that linger in their lives long after the battlefield fades from view. In Recon Marines: Searching for the Real Enemy, we are thrust into the unrelenting grip of Vietnam's jungle, a landscape both indifferent and eternal. Yet the war waged in the depths of memory proves...

Premium Member Reflection in the Mirror
In the quiet morning light, for the first time, I truly gazed into the mirror, What I saw was unrecognisable, I must confess I was close to it but had to draw closer still, I was surprised to see a jigsaw of times past. Once a canvas, unmarked, Now wrinkles, each a story of lessons learnt and experiences...

What's Stopping You
What’s stopping you From being the person Who you want to be In this crazy world That we all live in? What’s stopping you From reaching the mountain top To complete every goal That you have? What’s stopping you From living your best life? What’s stopping you? What’s stopping you? What’s stopping you? What’s stopping you From being creative Through art? What’s stopping you From being creative Through music? What’s stopping you from being creative through textiles? What’s...

Heaven’s Reflection
In the city’s glow, where shadows meld, And the hum of life endlessly swelled, Lies a truth that no screen can show, A place within where answers flow. Even when clouds of doubt descend, And the bad luck seems to rend, The veil of chaos might isolate, But hope resides—it won’t abate. No world, no fate, seals every door, For within, we hold much...

The Quiet Echo
I have met you in my mind, You have been a reflection of my desire. I have worshipped you in my favourite mirror, You have been a quiet echo in others’ eyes. I never judged you inside the canvas, Never found you in my head, Never placed you on the stage, Never let you out of my heart. So many people to see, So...

The Tree
Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in,...

Premium Member To See The Sun Again
She wondered, entering the sea, in fierce relentless rain, As the waves crashed hard against the rocks, would she see the sun again? Her life was dark now,like the sky that loomed a murky grey, Her body breathing in the air, as her legs, start to give way. Her head’s a torrid mass of thoughts, her heartbeat racing fast, With terror...

Your reflection
Each little cutie birthmark on your face, symbolizes my fondness for you. You can try, but you can't count them; they multiplied as our bond grew. The immense depth of your brown eyes, reflects my endless love for you. Profound and limitless, just like the sky never ending, never fading, so true. But that naughty, unruly hair of yours definitely shows your strong...

Everything I Am
Everything i'm not made me everything I am, Without imperfection, without flaws, all is perfection. However perfection leaves no reason for strive, And without the urge to change, the world would stand still, no transition, no drive People would never reach for more, believing they have it all. only Once imperfection enters does improvement begin to call, While Sounding counter intuitive,...

Premium Member Dream Awareness - Quiet Reflection
Written: April, 16, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann ************************** From a deep weariness of the soul to the discomfort embedded in our bones. From shadowy areas arises brightness, where silhouettes move with heavy steps, in collective hardship and spirits. Answers quietly gather...

You have changed
From the blueness of the sky, there's truth hidden beneath the skin. Conscience knows the scene: if not life, then death holds the truth, so I choose to stay with the truth. You raise love only to take life. You sing love songs to the sun, reciting lyrics of hate to the stars, sharing my time with hate and death, closing my tunnel to...
