Pale Porcelain
Clad in bright white sapphire Millions crawl, the exhausted lay to admire Within its swelling eye thousands desire At the back I lie, waiting to expire Scratching the walls without respire I danced into crossfire With a soul which yearns to retire Lips littered with satire A heart prosecuted to hellfire Still, my porcelain surface shone as if a luminaire Slowly the winds fill...

Lady Hesitant
I hate that I hurt you. How could I? Tears were dropped with Our future inside. How could we know a certain forever would become an "It's enough"? Enough pain, enough never-ending loops of what we should do or what’s best. Fish biting tails. My insecurities drove you insane. Maybe insanity is what gave you patience and faith. My ups and downs, you got...

A Candle Inside The Child
People count the years by candles and quiet tears. The twenties, they say, are when we wait for the first cry from a miracle just learning to breathe. But some of us, like me, never quite grow up. Peter Pan weeps each time the rain brushes my shoulders. I come alive again only in fleeting moments, like the string that’s slipped from a flying kite. Just days ago, that child stirred...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter
-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind. “Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.” Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together. Late at night, when silence drapes...

Discovering Light Cry Ugly shame lost its power Shame was regret… Buying into malicious judgment I wasn't good enough… He knew I was more than good enough… I gave all I was capable of… He loved me because I gave 100%… even when my 100% fell short He channeled his disappointment and hope through his poetry. Discovery emerged...

Vulnerability Comes In The Form Of A Hospital Gown
The security guard at the hospital admired my taste in clothing. I'm certain I reminded him of himself when he was younger. Now, he was an old man with a wife and children. I never got around to telling him, but I wished we could've switched lives. He could keep my clothes, and I could experience...

DEAR PARENTS
Dear Parents, We know that you love us a lot, But sometimes, all a child need is A little understanding from your side. Dear Parents, Love should not feel like an obligation, Like something we have to repay by being perfect. We never want you to stay in pain for us. We never want us to be the reason you swallowed your sorrows. But...

Premium Member Echoes Of The Silent Shore
How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea? I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow his crest —swelled in high rise on testosterone tide— swindles my tease to tame his blue Neptune flame mocking my sun dried bed with unruly despise he rides a white steed in petulant power with the moon I am the passive strand...

VULNERABLE
Life hit me hard on the face I became vulnerable Even when I know many It's like I know none None is ready To support or give a helping hand.

Love with pain
I am ineffably in love with this pain When your soft tender lips Brush against my salty cheeks And your hands warm my neck I am in love with this pain again When you pick me up in your arms And cuddle me close to your heart Until our breath synchronises its way I once am in love with this pain...

We are all vulnerable
I hope you have someone to lean on when you're feeling vulnerable. Remember you're never alone. Your Angels are always there for you. We are all vulnerable By Michelle Morris 25/01/2025 We are all vulnerable We experience it in different ways We all have a cross to bear Sometimes it's small, sometimes it is weighty Don't feel like...

Vulnerable Love
Inhale me like DMT And follow me into my dreams. I'll show you things you've never seen Because I exist in the 5D. I'll make you trip on reality And help change your mentality. You will find me where you clear your head Beyond aimlessly followed riverbend. In the waters I sing my songs, Waiting for the right sailor to come along; To fall in...

Premium Member In The Chill By My Windowsill I Sit Alone
Oh! How I despise dawn’s blushing optimism and dried hydrangea blooms sepia skinned and papery thin. Humdrum hands beat doldrums drum. Why won’t the summer solstice light this darkness? A gnawing hollow where my heart should be. Where cinder clouds float in negative space memories collect like nesting sparrows beneath eaves. I stray, a waif lost with my armful of loss. Your death...
