Glooms of Gloomber Unsettling
She said his grin was as charming as a Shoebill Stock. Warning others of his lack of beauty and handsomeness. His presence caused others to feel spooked and haunted creating a situation hard to ignore and forget. Nearing 3;45 the clouds overtook the sunlight a chilling darkness took it's place. Glooming the edges of daytime a start upon her face. He stood there watching and waiting with no...

Women look at us with unsettling eyes, undulating like the sea in a summer storm, Hiding within their depths a universe of dreams, entwined with longing and starry glimmers, We wonder, what do we desire, to be travelers, lost on paths of love, Where the soul leaves its mark in the fragrances of flowers and gentle breezes? Enigmatic eyes,...

An Excerpt of the Voices in My Head
"Cured" by the medication, my mind goes numb Is feeling nothing better than feeling it all? Screaming in my head becomes a constant drum Do people really love me or can I not recall? They say to me that I act okay, like I'm totally fine But behind closed doors I'm crumbling So where do I draw the line? I have a...

The one-foot game
Bad people don't hide very well, they can't keep themselves from coming out to say hello. Eventually, they are caught. So, they make plans, let's call it a game. The 1-foot game. What is the 1-foot game? Well, it can mean many things. You can be 1 foot away from a person, just in your grasp....

Premium Member Unsettling Night
In the wake of the atmospheric river's retreat, A world clothed in an unusual pale orange hue, Unsettled I felt, discomfort laced within my heart's beat, As the sky darkened, the air grew stagnant, still and askew. Two owls echoed their hoots from either side, Their haunting calls, the only melody in the night, But silence soon enveloped the owl's proud...

Unsettling Feeling
I just can’t get over this unsettling feeling That has my spirit reeling I just cannot get over this unsettling feeling That keeps me yearning If someone had hit me with a stone Then I would have taken the blow and groan If someone had hit me with a piece of stick Then I would have drank a hot cup of...

Oddly unsettling, how The UnHolonic Spirit compels conservative, defensive feelings of autonomous ego-righteousness when we see our physically healthy robust selves elitely privileged, maybe even aristocratically WinLose kleptocratic as short-term necessary for ego's Business As Usual convenience. The Yang-expedient violent communicator, Creator of WinLose GetReal natural systems, privileged predator success over non-elite prey, failing myth-tellers, perpetual provokers, defenders of privileged competitions, economies and polities and even domestic family relationships, parent v adolescent child, where Daddies...

Unsettling Feeling of Morbidity
Spent an hour on **** Deep inside, I am torn I feel mind-controlled again Wondering where you been... Reality is so unsettling...dispelling Fantasy is where I'm truly dwelling My conscience is empty No one cares apparently Sex with you was something I didn't want The voices in my head, they seem to haunt Can't remember most of my past since forever At least we'll...

So Unsettling, To Say the Least
The sight of this bourgeois, career politician/businessman (A so-called liberal, no less) Seated high on the dais at the all candidates meeting, Looking down on his constituents. Trying to look as human as possible, He's wearing his best crocodile smile tonight. And no matter how hard he tries to look harmless, He still looks slightly inhuman, perhaps like a Conspiratorial, world-enslaving E.T., or...
