Next, Next, Stop
The doors slide open, but no one gets off. The voice crackles— next… next… stop… and still we sit, half-formed passengers clutching phones like prayers and glancing at windows that only reflect ourselves back. The train doesn’t ask where we’re going— just tells us where we might leave. One girl hums a tune with no lyrics. An old man’s eyes are fixed on nowhere, as if waiting for a memory to arrive in...

Premium Member Stop the moment, dear, I implore you, for time flows like a relentless river
Stop the moment, dear, I implore you, for time flows like a relentless river, My soul with you is like a petal opening under the gentle morning sun, Your sweet voice enchants me, a song echoing like times of golden years, And I still live the moment as once before, when love was an endless dance under the...

Because I Would Not Stop for Death: A Homage to Emily Dickinson
after Because I could not stop for Death, by Emily Dickinson Because I would not stop for Death, he kindly stopped for me. A wilted bouquet in one hand— a reminder of life's mortality. We began to walk—he knew no haste— side by side, as we always were. In silence, no sympathies were spoken, as he knew I often preferred. We passed the house...

Stop This war
Stop the War Stop the war — we cry to every sky, Where smoke replaces stars and children die. From Gaza’s grief to Iran’s silent screams, The world is choking on abandoned dreams. O Israel, lay down your wrathful hand, No justice blooms in blood-soaked sand. No future rises on a shattered wall, When vengeance is the only call. And you, O powers...

Stop Playing With Me
When we die, we ascend Stop playing with me. You chasing trends, I’m chasing Him Stop playing with me. You believe in yourself? Amen? Stop playing with me. You manifest, I kneel to pray. Two roads diverged guess which way? Stop playing with me. We in 2025 because of His birth, Time split in half when He touched Earth Stop playing with me. You need proof? I see it...

Premium Member Stop waiting for the world to love you, for it never owed you that
Stop waiting for the world to love you, for it never owed you that, Do you think you'll feel worthy if you win, accumulate, and prove enough? That shame will vanish one morning, that the mirror will smile instead of frown? Let me tell you something true: you're chasing ghosts with heavy chains on your ankles, We're taught that...

Premium Member Stop Using the Finger
I’m told the pen’s mighty and outwits the sword but my finger is stronger and won’t be ignored. It pokes and it swipes and it rants in a roast then it quickly DELETEs to disguise my last post. Though swords, they can cut, and pens, they can shame the press of a button initiates flame. All humor aside, I’ll admit it’s...
