Premium Member The cry of the heart
My heart cries With no tears and no sounds But not less sadness and sorrow Aging, sickness and disabilities come one by one Happiness and youth comes and goes Nothing in this world will last Maybe only love in my heart Or maybe in your memory...

Wanna know what unhinged looks like, America? You’re looking at it. The Biden era is over thank God, and with Trump back in the White House normalcy and sanity and common sense returns. Congratulations to American Eagle jeans for leading the way. Woketards can drown their sorrows with a can of Bud Light....

A blank page, A blank mind, My thoughts consumed by one thing… You. I tried burying myself in organising, And even then you pop up everywhere, It’s like my brain won’t stop, I can’t do anything without you, Or so it seems. I’m shaking just thinking about losing you, But yet there’s a peace in me, I know you’ll be fine, I know you’ll come back, I know… I...

Colors In A Coffee House
Double time hits for the ceiling — The clouds of white smoke, the healing Childhood in my skin finally relaxes Everyone around me in lapses Coffee forms the swollen cheeks With history's pick of bean Water remembers Water pushed under embers The percolator Like some wound drips her. Eyes on the preppy barista — Maybe we both see in similar vistas She writes down...

It’s the darkness, flooding the silent room A still so bitter it flows, splashing fears Weary as the moments I would never presume Pierce the heart with feelings, frantic tears It’s the night, breathing in echoes of anxiety Murmuring shadows who still the soul Wiping out the silhouettes of notoriety Following the screams of a dread’s control It’s the dusk, ending twilight’s...

Ancient Egyptian translation of 'Dialogue of a Misanthrope with his Soul'

Burch Death lies before me: like a...

Sickness can turn your house into a personal jail When friends come to visit you use anything as a veil The moments you lose track of the day and time If you need medicine you would spend every dime To pass the time you watch old episodes on Netflix Eating soup for dinner and inhaling vapors of vicks It feels like...

Attention Deficits-Dysautonomia edition
Warm yellow light. Chilly, for indoor. Soft, soothing, piano. Music— Door slides open. A man walks in, his eyes— Rain’s wailing outside. He talks to the nurse. His voice hoarse like sand— Flash, lightening. Raindrops darken the dusty walk— Thunder. He sinks into the bench beside me. Stinging smell of cigarette butts— Another thunder. Door slides close and muffles it. Nurse says my name. I walk into the doctor’s— A muffled thunder. I don’t...

Well I wonder If I sleep, Will tonight be good dreams? Or will the nightmares of the day continue on? And if my sleep will not come Will new worries cease to start? Or am I doomed to worry till I'm gone? And I wonder. My wife She's far away In our home that she's made From the broken timbers of my...

Polly Pleasance was seven years old, like the decade soon is going; She had so many pretty dollies, like deep purple pansies, showing. Polly took care of her dear friends, for love's always taken seriously; Buying doll clothes with her allowance, like night, adorned deliriously! They were admired, and the envy of friends. She had so many dolls! As magenta...

I didn’t expect this – it came quickly, without warning I couldn’t hide. It left me with no choice – but to go to war, battling the deafening poison, the affliction feeling like the deafening crash thunder raging, pouring out its fury I didn’t ever imagine this would come to be, silencing the courage that I’d once felt, giving my plans a...
