_Bleck_
When I can barely breathe
Out of my nose, it's so clogged
Up with mucus and snot
That drips down endlessly
No matter how many times I blow it
When I can't barely speak
Because my throat is so red and raw
That swallowing is so painful...
Metaphor, Poetry
#2 of non furry
an extensive metaphor about both the sunrise and the sunset.
as i look towards the sea i notice a tiger like sky stalking the earth around it.
Metaphoric, Short Story
Rare is it people take time to appreciate what life is really about.
As I stroll down the pier, people rush on by. Too busy trying to get somewhere they miss what makes life worth living.
The sigh of the wind.
The sound of the lapping...
Metaphor, Poetry, Reflection, Short
I sat in the rain today
and watched the falling shadows play,
making ripples come and ripples go.
Standing water used to show
a reflection of who I am,
but rain drops crashed and broke me down.
How can I be sure I'm me
when I have no...

Full Circle
Strong cypress lies aside me
Grown out of a field
Mockingbird sings freely
Never forced to yield.
A river of molten rock
Runs not far beyond
The deer and the crane
Visible from any stalk
Yet under the pouring rain
May yet breed a...

Remember
The days
The lies
The outward cries
Screams
Unheard

Caged
Enraged
Without escape
Fearing

Running
Hiding
To no avail

Dark, Fear, Metaphor, Poetry, personification
First of all harden your gaze
Inhale and fill up your glass
Remind yourself nobody cares
And remember that feelings don't last
Sit back and put on a smile
And sharpen your tongue with lies
Clean your teeth with hatred
And wash your hands with...
Dark, Poem, Rhyme, metaphorical, themed
The thunderous retorts from the storm outside, cascade of muffled noises echoing throughout the night.
oddly it calms me so, allowing the ever-desired inward look into my own depths.
Boisterous reports of the rain trying to get inside, serenade of...
Emotional, M/solo, Metaphoric, No-Yiff, Poetry
Hanging Over His Head
Hanging over his head are
Half-conjured images of desires,
Of a rose in a shire,
Whose outlook is dire,
Of doves flying home,
That never grow tired.
Hanging over his head
A golden field of wheat
And a line of red...
Beautiful, Dream, Love, Meaningful, Metaphor, Poetry
It's really hot outside, when I go, so it takes me by surprise when the rain comes and I am stuck in something brisk, even more-so when it begins to storm and I am lost in the city. I don't mind the rain so much anymore, it's quite common these days,...
Depression, Love, Unfair, metaphorical, patchwork doll, unrequieted
Missing
Here I lay in the earth
Only one of 7 billion
One in a hundred
Millions die
and millions live
Soon to be trillion
In this place of mirth
And filled with dread
What can I give?
There is a distant ceiling
In a room with no doors
And...
