The Unshattered

they think they are true
they think it is right
what they do 
what they have done
they are UNSHATTERED
the ones that don't know truth
the ones who don't see freedom
they are UNSHATTERED


Last Breath

let yours be the name
silently breathed
from sleeping lips
the last & lasting sigh
in tired escape,
in passion,in trust
some unbroken promise
the vow least brittle
a single word unshattered;
huddled onto it's self 
amongst the jagged,
blood-tipped shards

Premium Member A Quiet Knowing

There’s no need to look further than this moment,
no need to reach or strive.

The spirit is here, as steady as your heartbeat—
gentle, like the warmth of hands intertwined,
as familiar as the ground beneath your bare feet.

Listen—
in the quiet between each thought,
a soft truth emerges, complete and unshattered,
reminding us:
you are already home.

Sleeping Volcano

Snow falls in quiet drifts,
covering the ground like cooled ash
where mountains rise to pierce the sky
and plunge into the mirror-lake, 
unshattered.
Shores curve around smooth water
like a crescent moon in a dusky sky
dotted with snowflake-stars
where frosted sighs float silently,
rising like puffs of smoke
to join the muted clouds above.

Twisted Heartstrings

We broke up But never dated.
Cause I fell so deeply in love, 
With a girl who never related. 
How could my heart be so dumb,
Maybe its what it means to be young.

Then why is my soul left in taters, 
While she seems unshattered? 
The love that a lonely child craves,
Perhaps makes me misbehave. 
So quick to fall.  
But now I’m left with nothing at all.

leading me to question,
"what did I do wrong?"
cause though I was blind to see, 
all along it must have been me.
