Poetry

April 1, 2025

  This is nice work. I like how you never strayed too far from the topic. How the mind can conjure things up

Lantern In The Darkness

Poetry

April 1, 2025

The flamelight of my hope and reality burns within the darkness of psychosis. Light within dark overcomes – No matter how small the flame. Whenever I fall asleep, darkness slithers itself in bed alongside me with gazing eyes and...

Shipwrecked Soul

Poetry

April 1, 2025

Ahoy! There she is! In formal times, gracefully gliding across the glassy sea; her figure so stout and proud. On a voyage (life’s journey) so resolute, unwavering against the coming storms (challenges) and serpents (assholes) of the deep blue...

Matches

Poetry

April 1, 2025

To be the match Born to be struck With the Flame of life Burning fast Burning out To a burnt match Useless and ready for peace Or To be born and never struck Never feeling the flame of life Never burning Going into the ground With your head intact

  Thanks for reading. You got it. It’s hard to only burn half of your match.

  I totally agree, having burned many times. The thought of never going for it and playing safe every time is more terrifying to me.

    Yes, I guess there’s always more to it. Those who burn fast, those who burn slow, and some never know the fire, but never miss it.
    Thanks for reading
    Regards James

  hello dearest Sam the artwork looks like Sid the clown from a Rob Zombie film the poem is deep we can only be our best and recognize when we fail to do so…I wish I was a better person and I take steps every day to try sometimes finding myself slipping thinking with regret I failed but I think it’s when you quit trying you fail… great write ❤️

  Straight to the point … I feel like we’re already doomed. Then I read something like this and realize not everyone is evil. Small reminders that humanity still exists is a beautiful thing.. I was scrolling and noticed you have poetry chapters? I’ve never read anything like that so I shall definitely backtrack and check them out. This site seems very versatile with many options I’m not used to. I love that.
