Premium Member Stars Danced Around the Somber Moon
A sudden darkness veiled the world below. Luna was defused by a shadowed sky, giving cause for Earth to be wrought with woe. Something strange caused the night to go awry as a shroud covered moonlight's golden glow. My pulse quickened at the phenomenon. I inhaled the floral scent of roses. Snowflakes drifted over garden and lawn. Like a fairytale that one composes, it...

Premium Member Searching for Rainbows
The Trail of Tears was in men’s thoughts before 1492. Almost four-hundred years cleared the Cherokee-Selma path. Blood dries up like rain. Stains fade from red to black. Rainbows are present only in discarded kaleidoscopes. Czars scattered the seed of Lenin like talk in small town bars, Plowed under like wet fodder. Blood soaks in like rain. Stains fade from red to shallow,...

The Train Station
Life with you has always felt like waiting at a train station. I’d curl up on the cold benches and wait on you forever, I think. When you finally get off, I’m so excited that I feel tears of joy stinging my cheeks. I race over to hug you and you give me a smile...

SOMBER SOLACE
The day I leave this world behind I'll find solace,peace of mind and no more pain,just happiness.

Wear black for me,a somber hue,a reflection of...

Premium Member Through the galleries of dreaming, where evening strings its somber beads
Through the galleries of dreaming, where evening strings its somber beads, The echo of a twilight stifles discreetly on the plain bound for eternal crossing; Floating, floating over the velvet of darkness seeking its release. Diaphanous sages, adorned with the silver of silence, For their words have not shaken the profound realm with arrows of stars, they Do not willingly...

Premium Member Through the galleries of dreaming, where evening beads its somber pearls
Through the galleries of dreaming, where evening beads its somber pearls, An echo of twilight suffocates discreetly across the plain towards eternal passing; It floats, it floats over the velvet blackness seeking escape. Ethereal sages, adorned with the silver of silence, For their words did not shake the profound realm with comet darts, they Reluctantly cast their shadow towards the...

Premium Member The labyrinth of the mind transforms into a somber temple, where glyphs of thought intertwine
The labyrinth of the mind transforms into a somber temple, where glyphs of thought intertwine, And beneath the dome of the nocturnal sky, hearts like ancient scrolls unfold and burn in incantations. The only enclosure where man erects his biography is a veritable menagerie of dreams, A pantheon of thoughts and phantasms, with the altar of bitter desires. With...

Premium Member Why is she so Somber
Why is she so somber? We asked each other. Many weird guesses were made by my silly brother. She has injured her smile, she has cut off her toe. There is a fish on her hat, she is stuck in the snow. There was a fish on her hat, so that was not a guess. Maybe it smells horrible, suggested...

Masquerade
A colourful array of falsehoods Intricately designed disguises Fools, fortunes, phantoms Masks clinging on their faces Lives hidden away by an illusory veils Veils that cannot be removed Cannot be seen Secrets tucked away in their eyes Each a pair of stained glass windows that peer into their essence A glassy marble home for their soul that if I looked into too...

Premium Member Another Sad and Somber Anniversary of 911
I remember the day when the terrorists shocked Our world. I remember that sad and dreadful day. Two planes crashed like missiles Into the Twin Towers in NYC; one hijacked Plane hit the Pentagon, while another landed In Pennsylvania and exploded: all aboard died, Including the hijackers, the criminal imbeciles. Thousands innocent people lost their lives. I vividly remember that infamous...

stark rocky cliffs foreboding and somber light drifts in hollow windows thunder drowning the screams as the rain beats a steady absent rhythm black cats run n cry, slink into the ether searing everything everything blind it drifts along a rain-slick street street lights flicker sputter n pop! Silent... silver screams drift in pale forms hollow light along the rocky...
