Stripped of Yellow

Published 12 hours ago

Stripped of yellow, our fading star is blue! what hue will replace thee? what of me will remain? What lustral face will come when the demons face their fate? Only the moon will say, whose back has yet to turn!

Heart at Play

Published on Mon, 20th Apr 2026 at 22:02

Heart at play; gambolled away to beseech the day where we shall stay! On petal dreams, we lay in silence; a blissful stream did bring us thirst, yet not the first, as home flailed away with the wind. Heart at play; betroved away to

Fear Me Not

Published on Fri, 17th Apr 2026 at 23:56

Fear me not, as I am me, and you are thee, as heart separates to echos of three; heart, a fickle thing, clings to hope it's yet to grasp; mind, a backseat, begins again and hopes to last; soul, a wayward thing, begets the toll the lover cast. Fear me not,

Slay the Dragon!

Published on Tue, 14th Apr 2026 at 22:02

Slay the dragon, flail thy sword, strike his heart; where doth thou reveal the reins? what of fire that consumes thy mind? dawn still catches the eye of fame! Merriment conveyed, wasting away, in silent days; noon fractured from violent plays! Slay the

Hollow Stone

Published on Mon, 13th Apr 2026 at 22:58

Hollow stone, left alone; bones broken by eggshell words. Hollow stone, beating tones; known faces through every bird. Hollow stone, vacant thrown; sewn rivers to hopeful thirds. Hollow stone, left alone ...

Raindrops on Strawberry Seeds

Published on Sat, 11th Apr 2026 at 01:28

Raindrops on strawberry seeds; a mother catches all that she needs, as summers hand prevails with greed; what of winters heart believes? Flailing leaves in summers bind; a mother clutches all that she finds, as foliage creeps into every line; what of spring shall lead

Upon the Wildest Landscapes

Published on Wed, 25th Mar 2026 at 23:53

I. Upon the wildest landscapes, my heart did flail around; fractured skies did split the eyes, as nowhere could I be found. Honeybees play in rivers of roses, and where their hearts rest? nobody knows. Fallen boughs cover the knolls where arrows aim

The Sharpest Knife

Published on Tue, 24th Mar 2026 at 23:35

Death, the sharpest knife; in brilliance, it defines us. Venerated, so many a night, yet leaning from my sight, its silent veil flails around this heart of wasted time. Morn catches a hopeful sun the moon has yet to forgive; what of it? what of me? The

I Am Blue

Published on Tue, 17th Mar 2026 at 00:02

I am blue, as are you. I am red, full of dread. I am yellow, a naughty fellow. I am green, so unseen. I am white, full of fight. I am black, my way back. I am blue, as are you. I am pink, where's the ink? I am grey,

Jubilant Keepers

Published on Sat, 14th Mar 2026 at 23:59

A brimming cloud determines each flowers growth; hearts in jubilant keepers lay merry nepetas. Opaque petals quietly rince summers temper under ventured winters; xeric yellows zoom!

Leverage Loses Love

Published on Tue, 10th Mar 2026 at 23:49

Leverage loses love over onion oceans of old! Faster failing fallacies assemble as an apple, whose whole world withers; begat by beautiful bites. Winters weather worries as another angel ascends; each ember echoes excuses, yet yesterday yields restless

That Part of Me Still Loves You

Published on Thu, 26th Feb 2026 at 00:06

There was a part of me that loved you, there was a part that died; as suddenly as you came, my heart did part the blood, and through the path, I walked, with no rhythm, and no sight, as the walls came crashing down; that part of me still loves you ...

Existence Is Alone

Published on Wed, 25th Feb 2026 at 00:45

Existence is alone, therein lies the power; life, a fickle thing, shuns this waking hour. Glory of omnipotence leaves you and I alone; no further dream is needed, as existence will have grown. What of love and family? will peace cast a stone? father,

There's a Silence In Fire

Published on Sun, 22nd Feb 2026 at 01:39

There's a silence in fire, an aching of hunger; a future so opaque these walls will all but dream. Pining for the moon, yearning for twilight; a journey so unknown the calls will all but scream. There's a silence in fire, a distance in the steps; a
