The Shell
Hard and rigid The life so lived and so painful Lived to be smart, your own way and left this world wanting more Hard and broken, rigid and angry Soft and beautiful The life so lived and a beautiful soul Lived to be free, enjoy all things and left the world way too soon Soft and loved, beautiful memories...

Where Did I Go Wrong?
Where Did I Go Wrong? I was young, bright full of promise, full of light. High school passed in a blur, a victory too soon, too fast. They cheered, they clapped, Mom wept with pride, but I barely had time to feel it. Then the world changed. Tertiary welcomed me, but fate had other plans. A silent storm stole my path, cutting dreams before they could...

Much colder than a wind chill factor causing chaos in the silence; Do not underestimate the blizzard inside of a Capricorn growl; Unassuming and polished shell of gall....

Shell: Jane Grey
Shell (Jane Grey) The Knights are all lining up to have their taste of me. Because I'm quiet and demure of the weak and tired and pure they lock us up forevermore. Their whispers and their shouting too, always surrounded, what's a Queen to do? But sit back and take I know their words are only fake. But a different...

Premium Member but a shell
ghosts … peek every corner these walls were the vessel of a family - the body of a progenic spirit that inhabited these bones of wood and plaster and glass … and hope for nearly four tens of years … a blood of intent and care coursed these walls - surging with amity and loving instruction it’s familial marrow warmed by two happy and humble hearts...

Ghost in a Snail Shell
In the alleys of mirrors, reflections stare back with faces I've yet to covet. The cacophony of screams and whispers, a post-coital slack-jawed pause, the aftermath of endless nights and getting lost in vorpal holes of unwritten rules. Where pornographers masquerade as poets, sacrificing Eros on the altar of analysis. I squirm on the auto-da-fé...

Small shell
I wish you could break your walls so you could see that your shell is too small here outside in the mist there is a world waiting patiently for you for so long... But I lost my hopes over time your heart isn't yours and isn't mine your heart beats to keep you alive and I have to move on with my life. And that is my struggle and that is my...

DEEP INSIDE A SHELL
DEEP INSIDE A SHELL With lyrics that do not connect And no shiny surface to reflect Odd choices one doesn’t expect To get the meaning of that song Perhaps you faked it far too long All when living deep inside a shell There’s no entitlement to respect In messages that one can’t detect It must be earned, albeit indirect Can it be time to...

Premium Member Hold The Ocean
if you hold the ocean up to your ear an old empty shell is what you will hear a creature long dead that once called it home his belongings sent to charity, all his stuff gone sold by online auction or by family taken but he’ll always be there as the sound of the ocean ...

Premium Member A shell of herself
The old wood framed home stood stark and abandoned, a shell of herself, where now new homes were standing.. Rotted roped windows wept with the rains and rattled and trembled with each passing train.. The once solid foundation now unmoored by silt causing the aged house to lean, a precarious tilt.. Yet inside her ancient bones still chiseled and grand with...

Premium Member Snail Shell Relativity
A snail makes his home inside a shell. "My home", I say, "is a living hell".  A snail without a shell's a slug. "I guess, my home's not so bad", I shrug. ...
