The Quiet Echo
I have met you in my mind, You have been a reflection of my desire. I have worshipped you in my favourite mirror, You have been a quiet echo in others’ eyes. I never judged you inside the canvas, Never found you in my head, Never placed you on the stage, Never let you out of my heart. So many people to see, So...

The Tree
Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in,...

Premium Member To See The Sun Again
She wondered, entering the sea, in fierce relentless rain, As the waves crashed hard against the rocks, would she see the sun again? Her life was dark now,like the sky that loomed a murky grey, Her body breathing in the air, as her legs, start to give way. Her head’s a torrid mass of thoughts, her heartbeat racing fast, With terror...

Your reflection
Each little cutie birthmark on your face, symbolizes my fondness for you. You can try, but you can't count them; they multiplied as our bond grew. The immense depth of your brown eyes, reflects my endless love for you. Profound and limitless, just like the sky never ending, never fading, so true. But that naughty, unruly hair of yours definitely shows your strong...

Everything I Am
Everything i'm not made me everything I am, Without imperfection, without flaws, all is perfection. However perfection leaves no reason for strive, And without the urge to change, the world would stand still, no transition, no drive People would never reach for more, believing they have it all. only Once imperfection enters does improvement begin to call, While Sounding counter intuitive,...

Written: April, 16, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann ************************** From a deep weariness of the soul to the discomfort embedded in our bones.

You have changed
From the blueness of the sky, there's truth hidden beneath the skin. Conscience knows the scene: if not life, then death holds the truth, so I choose to stay with the truth. You raise love only to take life. You sing love songs to the sun, reciting lyrics of hate to the stars, sharing my time with hate and death, closing my tunnel to...

Premium Member A Reflection on That Time I Let My Husband Cut My Hair
He said he’d watched a tutorial. He said symmetry was a myth fueled by Big Geometry. I laughed. That was my first mistake. My second was passing him the scissors without asking him about his dominant hand. (It was vibes. His hand was vibes.) Snip. He called it edgy. I called it accidentally spiritual— because seeing your own scalp before coffee is a kind of awakening. He apologized...

Reflection of the Past, Visions of the Future
Since I was a kid, they said I was gentle as a lamb. Quiet. Kind. Smart. So I've kept that image. Or tried, at least. I didn’t fail. Not once. Grades stayed high, mouth stayed clean, choices stayed safe. No vices, no trouble, just quiet nods and “Yes, I can.” “Yes, I will.” I built a life that made people proud. And slowly, I forgot to ask myself, "Are you proud too?" Well, I...

Glass Within Glass
A glass within a glass; in that glass, I seek. A life within a life; in that life, I find an unknown movie. Passing distant echoes, chasing unforgettable letters and pauses, finding comfort in the words, searching for meaning in a glass within. There is a transparent figure; I confront myself with an unsatisfied appetite. There is a wholesome attitude; I return to myself, and then...
