    Gothic Rose: Part Five

    Our emotions stir       from our quivering shadows            in the glow of the candlelight.                 Rhythmically,   our black hearts mingle       in our beats,           playing music    ...

    • hello Daniele this is written beautifully I love it 💕

      • Thanks as always, I’m not sure whether to continue it? My character would definitely become scarier… haha.

    • Beautifully penned, Daniel. The cadence has a very catchy rhythm and flow. Great write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Shivering, lovely, creepy shivers down your spine… now that tells me I achieved what I set out to make here… thank you!

      In fact, your comment inspired me to continue this little gothic-romance thread, haha. Part six coming today!

    • Hauntingly romantic with creepy tenderness, Daniel. To be honest, I need something to spark creativity in me and this made me pose thought to a genre I’ve yet to really spill ink in. I look forward to reading more in your series.

      • Thank you, Pandy. My genre is Gothic-Surrealism. Though I didn’t invent the term, I’ve used it in a literary sense instead of art. Thanks, again and find that spark!

    Gothic Rose: Part Four

    I spread your petals,    our candlelight flickers         and your heartbeat ticks,              enticed with our aromas. Hard as stone and wanting,     slithering inside you without pause,         ...

    Fun House Game

    Entering this adventure This complicated maze I'll never surrender I'm finding a way To overcome these obstacles I'm going to escape My plan is methodical And it's taking shape I know I'm in trouble With my mind's delirium Rotating in this tunnel Disorienting me equilibrium  Sliding floors shift In the tilting room Do...

    • Isn’t funny how time and events shape us but the eyes show everything. Nice poem

      • Everything changes but the eyes remain.the window of the soul. Thanks for reading. Hopefully it brought an old memory or two. 🌼

    • this is hauntingly beautiful I feel like I am not the same person at all and wonder where that person went great write 💕

      • We’re ever changing, and yet, the inner child remains, the touchstone all else is measured by..I hope you’re doing better 🌼

    • Dear AJ,

      This makes me see sepia toned memories of my own childhood. Although we were carving these pictures into cave walls. There is definitely a gentle melancholy in this piece for innocence and more time. Lovely write. H🌷

      • Thoughts of childhood bring nostalgia. Simpler times, no responsibilities – just you always blaming me for pulling your pony tail. As if such would ever cross.my innocent mind 🌼😋
