    Still

    You are the most consuming unfulfilled longing of my life.If desire has form and shape,Breath and life,It is bound in you.You,To me,Are desires true name.You are the impossible,Yet the thought of you is ever with me. I want to be...

    You Smell So Good Like Wilted Petals

    You bloom at dusk...  just as the dead should. Your wilted scent  and bittersweet aroma... an echo of what was ours... nostalgia of what was lost.   A hauntingly beautiful scent, indeed! Then these stormy mornings  bring gentle mournings... when your grace has decayed! Your wilted petals now  blush in love...

    • Daniel,
      There’s something about your work just does it for me…It’s always so haunted, so beautiful in, dare I say a morbid way.
      It’s achingly beautiful and resonates deeply within me. I’m a huge fan.

      • Gawdess, thank you! It’s my pleasure, and hopefully as well for other readers. I’m honing my skills towards the gothic genre with a surreal twist. It seems to be turning out good, haha. I’m focusing more on gothic stories now. Again, thank you!

    Voracious Appetite

    Cruel intentions sit behind blue eyes Nothing normal about feeling this way Crawling on paper skin bruised by lies Darkness waits to seize a summer day   Sleepless nights filled with frustration  Claustrophobic words shallow and thin Filtering through arrogant conversation Naked praise wears this suspicious grin   Verbal...

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, P.G. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Nice, to see you again. I was pretty confident till the end. lol. It took me awhile to get the flow right, I had went through so many ideas that were cool but wasn’t working right. So though these lines worked I wasn’t sure, but from all the support in the comments, I chose wisely. lol. Appreciate you.

    • That’s razor-sharp and sinuous—like a poem with fangs. The alliteration of “verbal viper” and “voracious appetite” creates a rhythmic coil of menace and desire, as if the speaker’s confronting a charmer who cloaks cunning beneath sweetness. The image of truth dangling just out of reach—“suspending the obvious”—gives this a wicked elegance.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The words you used to describe this piece in your eyes was amazing, brother. That means so much to me, thank you so much. Appreciate you.
