    A Lonely Night's Lullaby

    With stars concealed in the sky, it's getting near midnight here on the train platform. The air is slightly damp, and the station lights have a misty aura. The rain's barely even falling yet.From a metal bench, I keep...

    • Brilliant work.

    • There’s nothing wrong with this, so i don’t know what you were wary of?
      it’s a great little short with big implications. Where is part two???

      • I don’t think they’ll be a part 2. lol but thanks for the comment, Styx. 🙂

    • I’m glad to see it end on a happy/hopeful note. Having been a lonely guy many times, I’d say this fellow’s thinking is right on. I’ve always thought there must be lonely lady for me out there somewhere, if only we could meet. Nice writing–I like your stories.

    • Tim, you painted loneliness in the city with brilliant brush strokes here, in an emotional train ride that will not be soon forgotten by me. This is what great prose can do. it is felt deep down in my heart and soul.

      • hello dearest Damian thank you graciously I deeply appreciate your thoughts ❤️

    • Hoi Chère C.,

      If I may quote you:
      in my slumberous state I cause chaos

      Don’t we all?
      I embrace the thought in real life.
      There’s nothing more tedious or boring than perfection.

      So:
      in my slumberous state I cause chaos
      Is the cherry on the cake.
      Just my opinion.

      À lovely write!
      Kind regards, Gus

      • hello dearest Gus thank you I likef that line too…I cherish your thoughts you are always positibe and I appreciate that ❤️

    • Fantastic spill, my friend! May Arawn hear your darksome call and be your lantern into Annwfn. Not just yet though, we need more of your beautiful melancholy. Excellent poem as always.

      • thank you dearest Clay for such a beautifully poetic comment you are appreciated ❤️

    • There is NO SIN in being a woman, none. If there is SIN, it is brought about by the burdens placed on women in a male dominated, patriarchal system and society. It’s a strange evolutionary process that a biological difference (having babies) became the source of oppression.

      While I applaud the artistic value of this poem, its sadness, its flow, and metaphor, I am also torn in that there should be no sacrifice made. Instead, there should be a head held high acceptance of the chaos, of celebrating joining the chaos made by all of us as human beings, and we are a chaotic bunch.

      Crimsin, I hope I have not trampled all over your poem’s garden, it’s just that women are not evil or gods, just human. And certainly not for sacrifice.

      Curt

      • hello dearest Curt good afternoon I get what you’re saying but my sin is more memories and reflection on days passed things I have done and regret I try to reconile them in me but they stilll make sad they are coming more ofteh these days and I’m not doing well it seems my soul is aware that my time grows short… I deeply appreciate your beautiful comment ❤️

    Meaning's Paradox

    I am the metaphor that bendsWhere meaning breaks and never endsI speak of all, yet say no thing A silent song the void can singI’m language shaped to lose its wayA truth that lies in what words weighEach phrase I...
