    Vacant by Justin Karfs

    I am
    vacant, some being fills my space in spacetime
    Technically, I am here. But really
    I am not. I am, an observer.
    I am absent from the trivialities of human existence
    A mere watcher of the suffering and…

    Hope's lost cause by su2anne

    They
    Shed a million tears. Their
    Grief joins
    Mine.
    Egypt’s women
    Trapped behind
    Windows and doors. No
    Longer dare come
    Out. They have been
    Betrayed…

    EMBRACE. ( written by friends of mine.) by TaylorJordan

    I’ve heard of couples fizzling out after a few years or even less.
    I’m here to say this will never happen to us because so little tears
    we’ve been together, believe it or not, now for 52 years.

    The performance of life by Shadower

    My anger is merely a disguise
    Humour my make-up, face paint, a thinly veiled costume.

    When is enough too much... by su2anne

    You rape and
    Pillage. Storm my very
    Heart! What is it you
    Want from me? Is it my
    Pound of flesh? I gave that
    Eon’s back… You are
    Never satisfied. No matter
    That I give all I
    Have.

    My Poor Little Broken Heart by kashmirecho

    My poor little broken heart
    Has been abused and tortured
    Many times over
    But anytime it sees even a glimmer
    Of a chance
    For happiness
    It leaps
    It bounds
    It wishes
    It hopes
    Because maybe this time
    It could be th…

    For A Moment by kashmirecho

    For a moment
    We were together
    Building a life
    Happily
    But it was all in my head
    Just a day dream
    A small hope
    An easy picture to see
    Because it’s so easy
    When we’re together
    But I never told you
    My dreams
    My sma…

    The Darkenbog by George Yesthal

    If dusk mayhap should find you
    On the road ’ere it gets dark,
    And owls hoot more often
    Than warbles the meadow lark
    And up ahead, before you creeps
    A cloying and deepening fog
    You know you must be brave …

    People by Justin Karfs

    I am swimming through the spectrum of human existence
    My being is irrelevant, the gears keep turning.
    No matter the wearer.
    Face value, I am without substance.
    Our efforts, our works, only benefitting th…

    When I come out at night... by shelleybabe2

    I’ll walk the walk.
    I’ll talk the talk.

    Denial by DarKarsean

    Denial is the cancer within
    yet we live with it every day
    and believe in what it says

    Do we really believe that a woman
    asks to be raped just by the clothes she wears
    Denial of mans responsibility

    Do we …
