Premium Member Time Stops for No One but Me
Captured like an old black and white Raptured from all this plight I cling onto hemp rope ever so tight Wicked is the lonely in the night Longevity ain't what it used to be I'm still waiting for that scientific breakthrough: A pill to keep me young and not just to keep me up At night, the dream dancer awaits my curtsied...

Premium Member Time Stops For No One

Premium Member Time Stops For No One
Someone stuck in the tunnel dug in the desolate desert of deprivation, doesn’t know what conceived in notion constitutes the rationale of the thing people of perception define as the art of living, etched by elusive mirage, in the free ambit of lively sunshine, flooding the oasis of sanguinity. Survival struggle pushes desperately the languished life into the dark...

Premium Member Time Stops for No One
I value safety as I swim whilst made of shadows crashing into the unbreakable surface tension Should it rupture I'd lay exhausted - all limbs and branches tangled in roots The sky only witnessed through the lens of somebody else's eye Faint glows of imagination keep me kicking compelled by the slew of demons snapping constantly at my heels - all too...

What a fool, you were, taken for a ride! It’s a lesson to learn, protect your own hide. They had great a time, using your emotions. Grow up, make absolutely no commotions. God has a new friend, already on their way. Stop snivelling, get on your knees and pray! So, if they did this to you, smile, you are blessed. A friend...

Premium Member In a corner of thought, where time stops to catch its breath
In a corner of thought, where time stops to catch its breath, I felt how your dreamlike touch envelops my being, Coming from a world where reality is woven with threads of light, Where stars are sisters and the moon is an old friend, whispering secrets to you. You descended, an unearthly miracle, like a ray slipping through the...

The Cricket Stops
Hollow people masquerade  Down lonesome roads full of rock and bones Never finding what they don’t know they’re searching for… Under the silent moon the cricket stops Leaving the table too soon The blood drops Hollow people start to fade Reality drifts farther away Burning desires- sparks ignite fires Wayward traveler moving on Tried to say goodbye, but I’m already gone...
