In Search of the Unknown
The path unwinds, a ribbon gray and worn, Where sun-drenched days and shadowed nights are born. A restless heart, a spirit ever keen, To find the truths that lie unseen between. No map to guide, no compass to define, Just whispered winds, a quest that intertwines. The rustling leaves, a language yet untold, In ancient woods...

Premium Member I wanted to disappear like smoke into the unknown air
I wanted to disappear like smoke into the unknown air, where lines aren't drawn and nothing is known, Into a realm where rules don't bind us and failures leave no shadows in the tried soul, But this world is a vast ocean of beauty drowned in a community with a feigned smile, Where our minds are drained by...

Premium Member The Juniper Prize: Between the Known and the Unknown
“The Juniper Prize: Between the Known and the Unknown” That man built a house of straw and sticks and the stories that burned within - all consuming the titled prize; like a bird sings a song the metre repeats and sticks. yet, another banner, belies an untitled grimm feast for sore hungry eyes - ravenous writers devour their characters easily mindful, with or...

Whispers of the unknown
People say we should face our fears, but how do I face mine when the path leads only forward, never back? That wild journey called death— a story with no storyteller, a door with no return. Is there light beyond, or only endless dark? With each passing day, with every fleeting celebration, I hear time whispering, ticking, pressing against my skin. Will I forget it all, or will my...

The Unknown
They fear to be alone I am the unknown, unknowingly fearing the unknown for i am thee, I've come afar to plant a seed in thee. Come forth as the rapture has begun, for the battle has yet to be won. I pray amongst the weak to parish in their sins. I pray the strong will bury beneath me and...

Dancing Into the Unknown
The old year fades, its echoes drifting light, A newborn spark ignites the midnight sky. We laugh, we drink, we dance into the night, A fleeting wish, a dream that longs to fly. Resolutions sworn in candle’s sight, Yet whispered vows may fade as days go by. But in this hour, with hope and love we glow, The past...

Premium Member In the labyrinth of time, our hesitant steps sketch the path of the unknown
In the labyrinth of time, our hesitant steps sketch the path of the unknown, Each moment, a drop of mystery trickling into the ocean of possibilities, We are actors without a script in a play whose acts are written as we live, The curtain of uncertainty rises slowly, revealing scenes that take our breath away. Life, a dance on...

The Unknown Cave
The unknown cave within, Built by don't know what From it emerge tendencies, Seemingly out of control Made up mostly by influences, And the sensitivity of brain. Fear is one of them Such a slavery it is, What am I to do? How do I break free? Either repeat the blows, But there is no end! A single path nobody shows, And I am left to comprehend. -17-02-2025 ...

THE UNKNOWN MARTYR
THE UNKNOWN MARTYR Though short life he lives A lot of blood he takes a lot of comfort he gives A sheet of pure white Shine between legs day and night Hug him between warm thighs To make you happy and feel nice Soft and smooth he is Discomfort and tension he ease Though for long he can’t stay Another one will be for...

The Unknown Fruit
Silent waters always are said to run deep; And looks often end up in deception As venturesome finds do in exception Bring forth reward to cherish and keep A trekking crew found on an desolate hill An odd tree with feathery leaves wide spread, And plump, tempting fruits coloured red ; For a while the dazed gapers all...

Tomb of the Unknown Twenty-one steps south down the black mat Turns and faces east toward the tomb for twenty-one seconds Turns and faces north, changes gun to outside shoulder and waits twenty-one seconds Marches twenty-one steps up the mat Turns and faces east for twenty-one seconds Turns and faces south, changes gun to outside shoulder and waits twenty-one seconds Twenty-one steps...

Embracing the Unknown
I notice the single placemat within the circle of noise, Placing my phone on the cluttered side plate, I can feel the Christmas spirit resonating through, The crowd of extended families unwrapping each other’s joy, A tear drops onto my unused napkin, My mind races with memories of family togetherness, The phone reminds me of the unsent WhatsApp messages, I spot the...

The Unknown
If there is a hand that I could shake, I would shake a thousand hands before I walk through the gate, if there is a heart that I could break, I would break ten thousand hearts until I find the correct path. The journey is not for me alone, it is the gravity that keeps pulling...

Still walks with the unknown
Was not born to grow old, His days were numbered long ago. Would not find pots of gold, His dreams drifted to and fro. Mornings will come with rain Throughout the passing of time; Walking in constant pain Though he will pay it no mind. Pines not for battles fought, Sings not the tunes he'd compose; Yet there's names ne'er forgot, Buried in Arlington's rows. For all...
