Premium Member Howling Wilderness
Gnarled trees yawn under a starless sky As a swift coldness mixes with the "howling wilderness,” Crescendos until pure silence strangles the macabre atmosphere. Preparing for the imminent journey, I place a slip of paper under an obsidian crystal, Lay my favourite burgundy blouse upon a distressed bedframe. The tick tock, tick tock of the clock cracks at 1:16...

Premium Member IN ORDER TO SURVIVE
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE Sensitized fingertips Unstopping Trembling hands keep writing To write those words unending A writers lament When the force is within And the words just tumbling All over the page scrawling What the writer is feeling In that moment of time sharing For the anxiety is easing Somehow the pain relieving Hence we write We always write GOD help us We need to write In order to survive No...

TREE LOVE
My love grows like a tree for you. Growing endlessly, it spreads across the garden of love. It gives us cover from storms, and shade from the sun. It is strong for us to hold onto in bad times. It has roots that spread out and intertwine within the garden, making the tree strong to...

the machine talks
the machine talks when the mind is mute-so let creativity shine ------------------------------------------------------------------- **the ai machine eliminates imagination; it cannot replicate the feelings, emotion and soul that goes into writing poetry. Being old school, I write to the best of my ability instead of trying to improve it by other means- or trying to outdo another writer if I...

Echoes of Purpose
Every sunrise held a whisper, a silent call to ink the day. We chased horizons, not for gold or glory, but for the thrill of the narrative unfolding. Each step, a verse; every challenge, a turning page. We lived, always, for the story that begged to be told. ...

The Silence Beneath the Flame
For ten long years, I left no trace— No words, no cries, no names to blame. But now the silence stirs again, And finds its shape beneath the flame. They whispered truths that weren’t mine, And carved in air what never was. Not once they knocked, nor saw within— They spoke in masks, without a pause. Their eyes were fog, their voices sharp, Their...

Premium Member Truth
Truth is not for everyone -- some prefer lies...some prefer dyes, and not natural soul color. Some prefer love~ and some just mouth the word...never to be heard nor felt deeply nearer the heart. It's like that with most things, the prose and cons of openly living as opposed to falsely revealing: Some contrive a story-line, while other authors...

Soliloquy Colloquial When I saw this contest I knew I had it beat Speaking plain and simple is really kinda sweet Like stealing candy, from a baby It will be a piece of cake They won't know, just what hit them When I leave them in my wake But I'm sure they'll rack their brains And put their ducks all in a row Hold their cards...

STARS
Stars shining so bright, guiding us through this life. Make a wish for all to be bright. That no matter the time and space, we remember all the good in life. That we learn from mistakes, and take all we can into our next life. That as we grow, we let go of all the...
