Pau - Old School Cool
Old School Cool (c) 2025 by the Entangled Pair She's hot, yes, but she's also cool she is a gem, she is a jewel I think she's great (and I'm no fool) she beats those drums like she's old school she pounds those skins, sometimes it's funny she hits them like they owe her money and one thing more I'll tell you...

This Is Still Pain
they say boys don't cry, so he bleeds instead. silent screams hidden under hoodie threads. he skips meals like skipping pages in a book that no one wants to read- his ribs start spelling out "notice me" but no one speaks that language. "you're a boy, tough it out," they said when his voice shook like glass$and his hands begged for anything but silence. so he carved the words he couldn't...

Premium Member discordant notes

The transparent clouds seemed stylistically stained, artfully workshopped, which offered a softened, Tiffany glass effect wholly worthy of worship. I can’t stop to admire it. I’m jamming things into...

The celestial bodies .... They witnessed my feet on the sand becoming mutual with the hard rocks . My red blood and sweat They saw my inability to choose something else. The nights with shiny eyes in the sky sometimes abruptly shooting to offer me a wish sometimes I declined I declined. And now here comes the time...

Premium Member resorts of the mind
Here at our rooftop, collegiate, ‘resort of the mind,’ an early heatwave has struck - we’ve been advised. Like we needed it. It’s 94°f and climbing - we’re not insensitive. We’re aware that the sun is bright and the air is crisp and hot. It was Friday morning, until the sun pointed to noon. Nothing’s going to stop the summer...

Will End Too
As I sit by myself in a room full of Strangers, I listen to the cacophony , The Chaos of Voices, laughter and conversations ; It feels very familiar, and I can't help but wonder how soon it Will end . And again after a few...

Premium Member silencio
When I’m not tapped into a music stream. I like quiet no - let’s be exact, I like silence ear plugs in - deafening quiet or better yet, noise cancelled anti-sound That’s relatively new technology My mom mentioned new studies suggest it may rewire things gray matter wise, you know, behind the eyes like the patterns sound forms in sand. But if you’re going to...

Premium Member The Joy Of Childhood
Finding your lost mittens in the school’s lost and found. Playing with some puppies as they run and jump around. Happiness on your first day at school in your new dress. Your favorite swing when the bell rang for recess. Thinking upon these things, a smile comes to your face. When just before the ball got there, you reached first...
