Still Blinking III
First, remove the eyelids— they hold too much fiberglass. Grind streetlight into gunpowder, cut it with gravel—snort the cocaine dusk. Take the sidewalk like heretic communion, metal-flake wine, asphalt host. She blinks razors. Stars break in her clavicle. You don’t touch her—you calibrate. Banana fingers, bruised and humming, plucking vapor off the fencepost. Storm-laced teeth. Voice as hinge, breath as cordless vacuum throat tightrope over a cheap motel dirty...

Echoes Within!
"Silence is the virtue of wise, The words within you won't let you rise Emotions are worthless to analyze Pour it all down there, so as to paralyze" Said they, in order to tantalize But the voice within me, keeps mocking & knocking, Interrogating me within the bars of strokes, continuously clocking Commanding me to ruminate all around, all the...

Premium Member Looking never found
Looking Never Found. When did the searching start ? Perhaps at the very first beat, of an innocent, uncorrupted, heart. Perhaps a dark nights lullaby rhyme? When the seekers eyes, were unblinded, or in that soothing voice counting time. Maybe in that sunlights far flung view? Looking for vague external questions, to quench a thirst, raw and bitter to you. Maybe waves of...

Premium Member Deprived of your love
Like a raging river barreling toward an arid basin, sediment collects inside a hardening heart. Weighing heavy, eyelids flutter over drowning maculas; all that can be seen are murky riptides. Vision cuts out. Frantically flaring arms desperately try to skim the surface, dragged deeper into an unknown chasm. ...

Heavy tale
Present me with different patterns, A person without anxiety within. What I mean is, make me feel you, Within the same body, Unable to extract duality, Be my twin baby. From the inner sense of the events, Look through a telescope from a distant land. Let simplicity be in your latitude, Let there...

Hidden Stars
I did not ask for the world to stop — just for the echo to answer. but silence grew its own wings. so i followed the quiet, to the river, to wild grass, to birds that sing before dawn. there, i learned something soft and strong: that I can keep walking even if the stars stay hidden Now— I walk not to be followed, but to feel the ground under my feet. To breathe and know: i...

Slow Down
-Slow down- Even the sounds of rushing red waters pulsing... drown out the beats that blare in my head - Slow Down - My thoughts spin like a carousel of fervent beats, while I watch the harbors of still waters, a gentle surrender to time, drift away. Every stride toward solace meets the rush of a furious current that demands to be heard. BREATHE They say. But...

Nostalgic Feeling
Putting in writing Listening to others Listening to myself Leaning on my feet A chair, rose in a vase A bird singing outside the window It hurts so much that I want to pass out for a few days It's shameful. It's scary. It's furious....

Too Loud to Stay Loved
My tongue, a beast that bites me first. I wanna shut it down, never to speak again. My voice, a wild river, Yet keeps flooding, careless of consequence. My lips, in a race, while everyone hopes— “Would they ever learn silence?” My brain, too messy, Spills out without a thought. All cures, I’ve tried— Nothing worked. The words kept flying— Some hurt. Some haunt. Some hang in the...

Premium Member Death Comes Home
Leaden clouds sweep swiftly in from the north, Blanketing the sapphire skies in melancholy. Deafening, rolling thunder cracks As a mysterious chill sends a shudder up my spine. A faint knock rasps at my front door; Whispers circulate, ringing through my walls, Echoing my name ever so sinisterly....

If I must be alone
From early days, my path diverged alone, Not as the others danced beneath the sun. Their laughter echoed; mine a silent tone, A melody of one, by none begun. The brook’s soft murmur spoke in tongues to me, While others heard but water’s gentle flow. In rustling leaves, a cryptic symphony, A world within, where only I could go. The tempest’s roar, to...
