Premium Member Happiness in Memoriam
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief. —Aeschylus Happiness in Memoriam Each neuron tingles with happiness, in unnerving vise. Presently, the squeeze of brain, heart and grit, unbearable. The lion’s faint, tin clatters, straw pieces pecked, crows gather. ...

My Son Was Born In Heaven
I had a son twenty years He wasn't like most teens his age He didn't need many friends and girls He's choosy though a bit introvert My boy was born brave and joyful Past that I know he was secretly sick Alone, he made his way to heaven In heaven, he watches over me At night, I dream his voice and his face Saying...

Premium Member The Heart
A gaping wound pierces my heart in the shape of my be- loved. Someday it will scab over. Someday, far, far in the future, it will turn into scar tissue. I will rub it and it will be soft and smooth and comforting. It will be with me, in the shape of my love, for as long as I live....

Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity
Her image in her eyes: Request for True Identity. She couldn't write about her mother- Her young womb a cradle for a different form, Was her brothers' Memorial wall. When she was born, no rebirth occurred. No resurrection for the newly buried. They were the Heroes. The Glorified Dead- The sacrifice of one man's bitter inner war. She was the shadow living in the shadow their gravestone cast on living grass... In...

Breath of a Forgotten Night
I don’t particularly remember it, Yet when midnight whispers through the air, —My heart aches. A sudden hurt, a lonely ache, As if the past is breathing near, A moment lost, yet somehow known, When the air smelled just like this, And I was breaking too. It feels like my heart is holding on, Though my mind can’t trace the past. Some feelings don’t need...

The Ballad of the Part-Time Lover
Beneath the glow of neon light, where secrets love to hide.. Two shadows meet in whispered steps, forbidden side by side. A game of passion, sly and swift, where hearts and caution blend.. A dance of stolen glances.. where the night will know no end. The city hums, the streetlights blink, a world of hush and heat.. And in the...

Ode to Dad
I wish your heart had not been broken, your spirit crushed, so much unspoken. One day, I’ll walk again by your side. We’ll amble through the countryside. To watch the fish jump in the stream. To hear the wind whisper through the trees. As the cuckoo announces the start of spring. I know that sound will make your heart sing. And...

Yes I agree I killed her
#Yes_I_agree_I_killed_her Diabolical thoughts runs amok, In this room, adrenaline takes over, Nothing makes sense, right now. Trying to compose self. Her griping nails, peircing through my neck, blood paints my shirt red, the gripping stiffening. Gasping for breath, begging and pleading through my eyes, voice choked inside me. My face turns blue, body start shutting component to component, wrestling off her...

When someone dies
I want you all to rejoice, this is not my end. I'm starting to transition, to see family and friends. All my sorrows and my pain will soon be left behind. Any suffering is done here, I will soon be fine. Soon I will begin to see people gone before me. My Lord has blown the trumpet, that will set...
