Premium Member Scrawls Of Heartbroken Stillness
I turn the leaves of my old diaries. Wherein my passions and anxieties Together with your dried rose petals, sleep. They savor your scent and bitterly weep. Our glances, touches, cuddles, and kisses Fun-filled, playfully hopping-mad hisses Our desires, dreams, hopes, and aspirations Did all these, like sheds, have no foundations? Creeds and credos weren't causes for our split. What's the root of our...

Premium Member Alone in Stillness
alone in the quietude of nature that fills me with serenity though crows in trees are a disturbance their grating noise an irritation I follow a path to where skylarks sing their melodic song soothing but my heart is full of chaos and anxiety I have always found my soul in nature but how can I when my body is broken ? I love the...

Fulcrum of a Rose
They say the scent begins in bloom, But I have felt it in the fold– where petals hide, and shadows loom, not where the colour are bold. It lives between the bloom and  bruise, a hush the sunlight doesn't see. It stays with those who never choose, to shine, but still learn how to be.  I found it's centre,...

Premium Member This Morning
(On Father's Day) Like most mornings, I awoke, Got out of bed on the left side. Not sure if that was the wrong side, But I know for certain, It wasn’t the right side. Aloneness is sort of that way— No offer of a second opinion, No pat-on-the-back save a broken arm, No meaningful conversation around the table. A moment of nihility—this morning. ...

Stillness in Motion
I am here, on this bench, as if the world’s still spinning but I forgot how to move with it. The air is thick, like it’s waiting for me to do something to lift the weight off my shoulders. But I just… sit. Leaves fall, but I don’t notice when they hit the ground, just that they were once up there, free, and I wonder if they ever felt light. A...

Rain and Seasons
I wait for the rain, So it may express what I never could. —And when it falls, I want it to pour relentlessly, To match the depth of my devastation. Though it can't last forever— Somehow I want my devastation to fade away; Like rain sometimes does. I want my heartache to change like seasons do, I need to know what—spring, summer, autumn,...

Premium Member Gray Stillness
The still clouds across the pasture hugging the mountains, did not stir A blanket of gray, everywhere brought peace to a soul that is bare Gray stillness stopped time in a beat There is nothing left to defeat Only wisdom to know it's time It will all begin with this rhyme Heidi Sands 3/25/25 *8 Syllables (C)opyright ...

Written: March 18, 2025 for contest Sponsored by: Rick Parise ***************** A tall tree stands quietly, imparting its tales, dew drops fall like stars in the morning. Flowers develop beautifully before tossing, the sky gradually shifts color, to our avail. Nature's ever-changing splendor is...
