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

A Stillness Found My Form

Published on Sun, 1st Feb 2026 at 23:59

A stillness found my form, flailing silently away; fame, a fickle food, conferred the chosen day. Crumbs of graceless photos furnish the scrolling plays, and then came the hawks to denude the welcome stay! Pieces of my soul adrift, yet quietly, my

Death Is a Common Fight

Published on Sun, 1st Feb 2026 at 02:09

Death is a common fight we find within the light; do you jest? or stay your hand? an ocean reeps the floor, with little chance of succour; and what of tomorrow? Death is a common fight we crown before the night; do you prevail? or flaunt your coronet?

Death and All Her Games

Published on Tue, 27th Jan 2026 at 13:02

All but left is ashamed; death and all her games leaves life a cherished play, in anguish ... yet decayed. This labyrinth of time yields plenty to enclasp; but death and all her games comes crawling with a tax. All but left is ashamed; death and all her

Death Is Sick

Published on Tue, 27th Jan 2026 at 00:19

Death is sick; a silhouette sprig of life begets a shield; what more of thee? Drunk on blood, their sins forgiven? ghosts shalt not see the trees. Empty thrones forget the truce; therein lies the innocence of youth. Death is sick; what hand is left to play?

Her Smile

Published on Wed, 29th Oct 2025 at 00:15

Effulgent, her smile; soft and warm, where sunlight wraps its soul ... behold! Weary, yet dogged, the moon does ache; what of her day will grace this heart? Vast, yet sewn, these swathes of trees; deeper from me, her lies do bleed. Effulgent, her smile; sweet, but worn,

Perennial Streams

Published on Sun, 19th Oct 2025 at 23:19

Perennial streams bore a son, riven beyond their dreams; ramparts kept his goals at bay, in a citadel born from timidity. Abode there, as he is, as sandstone withers in peace; dust and tears gather in frames, whose memories have yet to be born. Perennial
