    This moment is the only real one.Everything else does not exist.It’s either a memory or a projection,a mental formation,nothing more.You think I’ve lost my marbles?Perhaps.But that’s just your thought,and like all thoughts,it vanishes the instant it’s formed.Even what you...

    The Soaring Bird of Time

    Old age doesn'tcome slowly, itrages in like ashattered dish.I don't wish uponstars in the pastures ofyouth.I rock and reflect onthe speedy hands ofthe clock,and wonder wherethe last twentyyears went.

    Shadows

    Passive words cut deep but they don’t shoutThey whisper in a room where no one doubtsInvisible daggersThey glide and fallSlicing through the silenceSlicing through us all Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dimInvisible projections crawl from withinPluralized but...

    • Powerful work. Tremendous.

    • “We clone our fears
      Copy-paste the pain
      Pouring out the doubts like drops of rain
      Lessened by the scars we quietly bear
      Weakened by the reasoning we wouldn’t dare”

      Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics my friend, that verse I quoted, is so raw and authentic. Amazing arrangement that enhances these amazing words. I’m a fan. Appreciate you.

    • The lyrics and voice breathe in that space between hope and desolation, where very few are self-aware enough to tread. A glittered gift you possess. May I ask of your music influences? Without music the world dies.

      • Thank you Ghosteen! I couldn’t agree more! Music is a necessity.
        We need water, food, oxygen, love and music!
        My music influences are very broad. For this particulair piece i’d say Sia was the main influence.
        In general, my influences come from pop, hip-hop, dance, rock, EDM and propably some more i can’t think of right now haha.

        • Listen to some Nick Cave, Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins. If you can replicate the latter’s incomprehensible & ethereal voice & lyrics, I shall make a donation to an animal and children’s charity. Keep on keeping on. “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” As some bloke called Wilde once scribbled. Respect – not in the way uttered by a gangsta’ rapper. Not my thang. But genuine, UK respect.

    • This song hits me differently when I feel so tired and head is pounding from the beginnings of a migraine. Its like I can feel
      this line “Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dim, Invisible projections crawl from within”
      This is a great write

      • Very relatable unfortunately. Migraines can take control over so many things all at once.
        Thank you for your kind words Fia. 🙏🏻

    I've been a soldier all my lifeserved with honour,behind enemy lines.Fought ferocious battleswith limited weapons.Captured and tortured—more than once.Escaped my tormentors—more than once.Recaptured—more than once.Changed and scarred;fighting does that to you.Tired beyond tired,ageing rapidly,seeking peacebefore death.It’s confession time:my enemy...

    • On going battle. Interesting work here.

    • Powerfully penned, Peter. Excellent write my friend. Life often feels like a constant circle to me, everything eventually comes back around. This write made me think of that again, so thank you. Amazing work. Appreciate you.

      • Thanks Damian for your considered comment.
        I try not to over complicate or force my writing.A thought just arrives ( at strange moments) that needs to be explored.
        For example, while waking this morning I had a simple thought which I haven’t quite been able to expand on…’what is actually real’…might have to work on this one.
