Overwhelmed Avalanches of Doubt
So many ways to say one thing More than one way to turn pawn to king Too many turns to the grocery store Which turn shall I take? Countless words to choose from From sunrise to sunset Too many ends to be met With no end So many ways to say one thing How will I say this? The paralysis of perfection pours A whisper...

Anywhere But Here
The walls close in, peeling paint whispering stories I’ve worn too long. The air clings heavy, stale as forgotten dreams, suffocating, soaked in dust. The clock ticks louder than the fractures in my chest, its hands dragging me through an endless loop of nowhere. Even the shadows feel stifling, their jagged edges curling inward, hungry to swallow me whole. I’ve dreamt of escape - to where the sky consumes...

Premium Member This Woman's Power
Blue rivulets of vein on the inside of her wrist, That shallow valley between her hip And the bottom of her belly, The inside of her knee Where her calf met her thigh, I remember this girl. Like the fury of a thousand suns I remember her. This woman’s power To point a finger, or wave a hand, Disintegrate a life, Or...

The Light in His Eyes
When I see him, I feel weightless, floating— His smile, his laughter, A wonder so bright, It brings endless joy to my heart. I’m left breathless Every time he’s near. I love all of him— Everything he offers, And even if he gave nothing, Still, I would love him the same. He holds the happiness I seek. He acts tough, But I know, Behind the walls he’s built, Something great...

Premium Member When death had nestled, a lady overwhelmed by sleep
When death had nestled, a lady overwhelmed by sleep, Between the chasms of my being, like a butterfly in a cocoon, I embraced her to my chest that whispered seraphic tales, And I heard the rustle of sharp wings in her dental silence. She detached from herself, now a shadow that hides, ...

Premium Member Cell Prison: a Parasite of Life
My pixel prison, / parasite of my mind, / tyrant of my time. Once upon a time- a letter or a call sufficed. Now, years vanish in a blink of an eye, Beeps and buzzes, / rings and memes. Panic… no time or space to breathe…, to think, to feel. Only rumors, lies, confusion, facts, &...

Overwhelmed By the Man In the Moon
Here is where dreams entwine, Beneath the stars' celestial bloom, There I stand, beneath the sign, Overwhelmed by the man in the moon. His countenance serene and bright, Casting a gentle, silvery hue, Beckoning me into the night, To secrets hidden, known by few. Oh, man in the moon, mystic and wise, With eyes that hold a million tales, You paint the canvas of midnight...

Psalm of the Overwhelmed
When my heart is overwhelmed, I cry to Thee, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than me, Thou hast been a shelter from my enemy, In Thy tabernacle, forever I'll be. When my spirit within me was overwhelmed, Then Thou knew my path; my life ship Thou hast helmed, Thou art my refuge,...
