Premium Member Grief Lives Within Silence
A surrealistic silence hangs sluggishly in the air, as I sit upon your violet clawfoot recliner, sorting fuchsia dresses into melancholic piles. An opal ring glistens while the sun drapes over your portrait, reflecting splashes of kaleidoscopic colors on barren walls. Dust cakes the creaking floorboards as I place belongings into cardboard boxes. A faint lullaby gradually infuses this somber undertaking. The...

Premium Member Ironies Within Ironies
The morning sun filters through dust-laden windows of the district education office like an unwelcome truth trying to penetrate wilful ignorance. Shelves buckle under the weight of untouched research journals like abandoned promises, their spines uncracked like vows never fulfilled, their wisdom sealed away like treasures buried by those sworn to unearth them. An academician...

Echoes Within!
"Silence is the virtue of wise, The words within you won't let you rise Emotions are worthless to analyze Pour it all down there, so as to paralyze" Said they, in order to tantalize But the voice within me, keeps mocking & knocking, Interrogating me within the bars of strokes, continuously clocking Commanding me to ruminate all around, all the...

Premium Member Within a Sacred Dream
Within a book of sacred dreams she found a knight's true heart. Amidst the dark, a light that gleams; romance his words impart. They've led her down to an ocean beach where somberly she'll wait, for love which looms beyond her reach; withdrawn by the hands of fate. As captain of a faithful crew he'll...

The Warrior within Me
I’ll stumble. I’ll fall. Again. And again. But hear me loud— I rise. Not with ease… but with fire in my eyes. I’ve tasted the dust… Felt the cracks in my soul. But breaking? No. That’s not my role. Let the night try to blind me. Let the shadows pretend they own the road. But I — I am the lamp that burns bold… even when the wind screams no. As long as...

The Squall Within
A storm within small confines, a sudden squall of frustration. Words become weapons, kicking and flailing against the unyielding world. A raw eruption, of needs unmet, of powerlessness felt. The face contorted, tears a salty flood, breath coming in ragged gasps. We watch, sometimes helpless, sometimes impatient, forgetting the bigness of their feelings. A desperate language, spoken without vocabulary, a plea for understanding. It passes, as storms do, leaving behind a fragile calm, and...

Premium Member Dreams within dreams
When recognition dawns that life’s a dream, within which we have assumed our life role, by cessation of thought spirals that stream, we see we’re living light scriptures extol. Affirming that we are not body-mind, we then can leave fears and desires behind, upon which by befriending the vast void, we reclaim soul’s light pure and unalloyed....

Ask Within
Seeking Answers from within, Staring into its reflection, The projection of my eyes, Creating what's lying inside, So that I can enjoy this ride, As I slide down into you, Riding along sharing my view, Excited to see what you do, With the body you built for me, Evolving through Adaptability, Trusting when you couldn't see, Everything was meant to be, The good bad and ugly, All a...

The Wallflower Within
Blooming flower in Spring's light, Petals blooming without fright. Wandering breezes yet to grow, Still moving ever slow. Sunshine touching the skin, Light finding the areas within. Sweet fragrance of Morning's dew, How can I ever forget the scent of you? Your thorny Rose draws blood, An emotional sky lets loose a flood. Tears from the clouds to help you grow, Your roots hushing the rivers...

The Stillness Holds a Universe Within
The breath becomes the anchor soft and slow, A gentle tide that ebbs and flows unseen. The clamor of the thoughts begins to go, A fading echo of what might have been. No grand pronouncements sought, no battles won, Just quiet witness to the restless mind, As layers peel like petals to the sun, And deeper currents start to intertwine. The world outside...
