Changes are one of
The things that are real in life
Flow with the events
If you stay inflexible
Petrifying would reach you

Premium Member I AM Fear

dread, rising up while all hope is dying safety and surety of joy, a soul ignores, apprehensive, worried, insecurity’s complying pouring out tension from deathly doors, bleeding heart whose shadow is petrifying

Petrified

It's cold
It's dark
It's lonely
It's petrifying 
Being alive I mean
Everything would be so much easier if I was just dead
Maybe one day
Maybe sometime
Maybe soon
I don't want this anymore
I'm weak
Oh so weak
And I don't know how much longer I can do this on my own
I mean there's nobody else
So why not....

Hypocrisy

Truth bubbling forth as from a mountain spring.
A gem set in gold resting on purple velvet,
“Better a smooth step than a smooth tongue.”

He rotates his posterior to the world,
While his eyes are transfixed upon its reflection,
Body impacts a light pole without anticipation.

Mouth pontificating.
Heart petrifying.
Soul putrefying.

Premium Member The Nameless One

Petrifying prediction proffered. Abhorrent abominations and shapeless shadows stalk streets. Perpetually pitch as Luna's light lapsed. Prostrate and pray: Stygian nightmare roused. ------------------------------ 28th April 2017 For the "Form N - Ninette or Nonet" contest, sponsored by Broken Wings. (Eighth Place)

Winds of Wisdom

Winds of my existence
seeking an unknown
destination,

petrifying the sailors,
going tainted by
the seas,

hollowing the sands,
disdained by 
the pricks,

wrestling with the leaves
in shallow might,
echoing the tales
of immoral pride,

O'Lord,
I seek the direction
of your sin-free
wisdom,

You my only refuge...
my only conviction!

A Literate Interlude

In a stolen moment
of solitude I sit
at the base of my
bookshelf and
surrender to swirling
synaptic symphonies of
Solzhenitsyn

In yet another
purloined pause
I pensively peruse
Poe’s pedantically
petrifying ponderings

I desperately desire
a day to dutifully
devour Dickinson’s
dreamy dirges

Alas
my children call
and I must leave
my literary wonderland
all is not lost
for bedtime is near
and Dr. Seuss awaits

99th Story

What a tremendous thing 
We publicize our own thoughts
Phrases with Sorrowful voices 
Urge of existing readers 

Rubbing my bared face with sludge 
Hopeless dark fantasies 
Petrifying my self esteem
Glorious mysteries defaults 

Glasses with wine ,holding upto the stairs 
Viewed with blushful ideas
Strengthen my scars with awards
Drown my leg in summer hot springs 

Oh what a tremendous things 
With awful signatures
Praising our despairs
