Delusion is my World
Why does delusion seem to be the only reality I know? Almost never catching myself when my mind starts to go Is delusion my real reality though? Snapping in & out of this dimension Which I should mention, Is beyond my comprehension of an Intervention for redemption or reinvention What's your intention? My soul can't take anymore pain... I don't get what you...

A Wilderness of Mirrors
I stepped into a forest where every tree reflected me, but none with the same expression. One wept. One smiled. One looked away. I asked them, Which one am I? They shattered into a thousand answers. The ground was glass. I fell upwards. Gravity obeyed my uncertainty. My shadow walked ahead, not behind— impatient, perhaps, to leave me behind. A voice whispered...

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...

Moon sculpture
Soon, I will journey to the middle of the moon, There, I will proudly place a memento with flair, Fine sculpture shaped for reduced-gravity design, One like proud Lady Liberty, facing the sun. Like a bright beacon blazing in starkness, a spike, Soaring melodies of beauty gently pouring, From a breath of fresh air deaf to bees’ noisy hum, Bold, elegant masterpiece...

Premium Member Haven't You Noticed
Haven’t you noticed sometimes that it goes As if not with yourself, but with somebody else Whom you never desired to know, but who knows Something about your state of health I've no clue how it happens, but it seems unreal That I’m not the same anymore It is more than surprise, that I have to feel A stranger, whom I cannot...

Premium Member I dreamed I was drinking with Toulouse-Lautrec
I dreamed I was in Café Terrace with Toulouse-Lautrec. We were downing glass after glass of orange triple sec. And quite drunk, he muttered something that shocked me so ~ he intimated he'd eaten the ear of Vincent van Gogh! And then I was startled awake ~ with my bloody sunflower bed sheet wrung around my neck. ...

Premium Member Picking At Scabs
A musky, burnt haze sears slowly into my nostrils. The twilight hour pulses steadily, bathing stark walls in an eerie gloom. Too awake to drift to sleep, yet too tired to drag my bones off this sinking mattress. Thoughts cyclone like a tsunami within a withdrawn mind, picking at scabs; the...

Premium Member The Book of Souls
In the beginning as it was on Earth, there's a gentle mood played in Iron Maiden's music... before the shock of reality hits us in the face and it's time to admit: Everyone has demons to face, dark places in both mind and soul that we would love to erase. Bury them with the kings of old whose stories and legends have...
