The scriptures whisper of silent tombs/ Of wisdom buried, lost in gloom/ But I rise, carved from the night/ A witness to the truths concealed in blight/ They say the grave is thoughtless dust/ Where knowledge falters, fades to rust/ Yet voices linger past the veil/ The echoes of the lost prevail/ For darkness harbors secrets deep/ And silent lips still stir and speak/ Their...

Testament - Feb 21
If unexpectedly I were to die, then this at least is here for all to see - something of mine, a collection of what was I; to survive the flesh, what could beat poetry?

Premium Member Silent Testament
Character is the breath of fresh air, the gentle insistence of places left behind, the test itself taken solo, without study aids or observers, just you—bare and unseen.

Premium Member Testament of Sand
Beige-white heat blisters his brow until sweat pours masking his face protecting his vision – cooling without a breeze. His calloused feet burn with resistance to indiscriminate grains of settling sand filling his footprint from his labored stride.
