Purple Dreams In Other Realms
Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace, she shone like the midnight sun; I must confess, she looked rather whimsical sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore ! ...

Premium Member Painted Doll
Earthquakes of bedlam quell As tectonic plates of emotional instability cease shifting. The tears of a discarded clown, suspended in animation— Numbness overtakes. Masks slip, shattering. Shards scrape, lacerating apathetic flesh, Revealing the painted doll underneath. Remove its colourful costume; Discover marionette strings embedded within a fraying back. ...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 2
A soul's etched cartography compasses spins a needle frantic above a parchment of skin. A map… Each line a river I've drowned in, blood I waded and divide each faded scar a language scarlet, unfound! My soul no longer shapes foreign land of waste annihilates behind my eyes...! I see nothing deserts exhale silent sacred sands… Hearts pulse with unheard drums an archway to oblivion...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 1
The map unrolls, a skin of dust, where landmarks shift like whispers lost to a gust. I trace a fracture, jagged, unfamiliar... A place where my phantom feet wandered, chillier than memory allows. A tongue they spoke is lost, A melody unheard, for a dearly paid-for cost. within the crumbling walls of an infernal keep, A cracked, blackened mirror shows a face,...

Acta est fabula, plaudite
What I sing from my chest Only for ivory keys to hear. Are the same old words That cracked lips bear. That familiar tune that calloused fingers play Is the one that my own heart aches to say. I have plucked and I have strummed But when its my own heartstrings That are plucked for the masses Will my soul succumb or...

Premium Member The Anthem of Nature
Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Nature always wears the colors of the spirit." Star-speckled galaxies nestled in indigo stratospheres transform Into a plethora of pastel hues, painting the canva of a breaking dawn. Strokes of salmon and peach stretch across the heavens, Whilst the slumbering cosmos begins to awaken. Shimmering dewdrops collect like pristine pools within velvety buttercups, Nourishing amber and ebony bumblebees. The...

hollows
In the hollows of the night I lie and face the stars, the things behind the veil In dreams, I turn from things afar; I feel my soul quake In the hallows of my night, there in a bar The shadows man watches, the night pools In hallows of my heart, I lie and face the stars The universes mass,...

Shadows speak oblivion
It speaks of loss and vermilion It speaks of everything and eternity Shadows reek of dead things n burnt dreams Shadows hide the faces of the world The truth from the light, the madness In houses of civility, things of industry In the deepest night, shadows linger, creep Shadows cover our misbegotten deeds It speaks of loss n suffering All...

What beautiful decay
As sunlight paints all in gold A cresting wave Along a distant bay Gulls cry high into a clear sky Its tyrannical son burns all away. Summer has come What beautiful decay As evening dies on horizons blade A splash of crimson Deep in forgotten May Amber n indigo lay lazy on the shores Autumn lingers behind the day What beautiful decay A chill frosts...
