Iron Veil
Truth be told, or is it so, Is strength bronze or tin? Forever mystery lies so, In this transcended kin. Beneath the rust, a fragile heart, Iron weeps, its strength apart. A veil of secrets, shadows loom, Where truth’s enigma finds its tomb. In fragile echoes, whispers call, Uncertainty befalls, thoughts of chanciness. As ready minds begin to fall, A second thought of unsureness. Though some say...

Premium Member Night out at the carnival
We walk, hand in hand , we talk ~ cotton candy and caramel apples, music, rides and fanfare, sounds of joy and laughter in the air. Let the festivities commence: flashing lights and chaos, screams and giggles, rides and arcade games. The carnies are hyped up with their wiles and guiles to entice us in all ways. Summer is not complete 'til we’ve had our fun at...

Mid-Laughter and Lights
The flickering light as if fireflies' laughter echoes the summer air. Rides spun dizzying merry-go-round! Can't wait for more minutes ahead. A thrill to feel is here to stay around. Sweaty palms with ticket stubs hold, With sugar thrill laced in fingers unfold. Plastic pouches filled with goldfish, plushies all around soon waiting for your sure win! Come on, let's join the...

Premium Member The Wormhole Wore a Waistcoat
She entered unannounced; no bell, no brass. The aperture, a bureaucratic lapse in Nature’s accounting, permitted transit for the curious, not the wise. Through corridors of warped conjecture, she drifted—unclaimed luggage of a thought experiment. Each particle bowed with procedural discipline; each law maintained protocol under duress. The stars retracted their nominations, preferring anonymity to metaphor....
