Premium Member Not Feeling Myself Today
I'm not feeling myself today— I see a sea of selfies. adrift in a mirror maze, floating as reflections that are lost in a hall of posed intentions. Each face is a practiced smile. a seance of polished poses, looped like circling carousel horses, whispering secrets they pretend are mine. I forge new versions of myself daily, crafted to echo what strangers crave, me...

Premium Member fleeting moon
The quicksilver moon’s not secure in her orbit. I’ve heard that she’s slyly slipping away, One and a half inches yearly so a little bit every day. I, for one, want her to stay. ‘Oh meritorious silver sister, you have no dark side, and I’ve grown used to your capricious light, Why do you only hover at night?” I think of her as...

Shortly after i was forgotten
When the dirt covers your body you will truly remember all that you loved all that you hated, it will grow through your thighs, between your armpits between your legs into your thoughts, your secrets, dead and bloated, no more pains no more worry, just you and your secrets, your tears and your fears, all melting under the pressure of dirt, the black...

Dark Life
Can we just not talk ? Everything that will come up you will only accuse and not understand. All I got under my feet are unfriendly rock. And there is no one to light the dark life that settled on my land. (18.07.2025)...

He was just a boy alone in journey of life Morals, high standards upon family name he walks No recollection to memory, just brief thought in mind Certain image portrayed, locked away in the depths A way of life's poverty, morning dose's of the syrup Just a toddler throwing sticks on tobacco, outhouse out back...

Silent Fire, Sacred Strength
The classroom is a quiet forge, and I, a blade in silent fire— shaped by care, tempered in calm, honed to serve a brighter purpose. But into this heatswept chamber she storms, a tempest cloaked in titles— her words the hammer’s fall, striking without measure, without proof. She holds a flame to my calm steel, asking why I do not sparkle like she: “Why do...

(“Pandora’s Box”, 2014, original pen and ink and oil) Pandora’s Box I don’t know who she was, What she did or how she did it, And maybe it was something sublime Or maybe she was just another woman With the kind of perfect snatch To launch a thousand ships In a sea of broken hearts, But Pandora certainly left her mark Even today,...

Through forests of memories, the heart seeks its way to clear...

Premium Member Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time
Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time, I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky, She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset, I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless. It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

In the mystery of the dark and vast night, the blizzards of forgetfulness cry in silver verses Under the dome of the sky carved in living stones, I stand alone like a bell of thought forgotten in secrecy Time flows in circles of fire and forgetfulness, and I am a flame burning in its own ashes My soul...

In the infinite cosmic silence, rivers of boundless thoughts flow, We lose ourselves in waves of illusions, calling forth the shadows of past time, We are but a dream floating on the eternal ocean of pure being, In the depths of the soul, there is no separation, only eternal flow, Everything is now and here, a dance of the...
