the empty boxA box emptied of it's contentsthe empty box3 years ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Long forgotten
In a locked room
That I don't dare enter
For fear that I'll
Remember to fill it
Somewhere in the dark depths that is
Things I shouldn't know
Things I don't want to see
With that the door
Shall remain closed
Closed EyesI see them all the time. They don't seem to fit in with the rest of the crowd. It's probably because they don't. There are different ones all the time everyday I go to work waiting in the subway station. They keep repeating "we mean you no harm"and "we just want a word with you" all the while asking questions but nobody listens. The people walk past them without noticing, despite this however, they walk away appearing satisfied.Closed Eyes3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
What their purpose is I do not know. All I know is that they wear strange clothes and use unusual devices. They also look just like us. They wear baseball caps or toques, sometimes dress shirts are worn, other times
Just Another DayI would wake up in the morning, take a shower, have my breakfast, get dressed, and get ready for work. I would then drive to work, do whatever I needed to do, come back, watch some TV, do things around the house, get ready for bed, and go to sleep.Just Another Day3 years ago in Science Fiction More Like This
This was how my day was like. This was how every day was like. I thought this was how everybody lived. But apparently this was not the case. My name was Man and we were told not to change our routine for any reason. If we did, they said to us, then something quite unpleasant would happen.

If you were a tree
5000 years old
And so much left untold
Stories of countless empires rising
And falling
Of the sound of the earth
Breathing and changing as
If it were a living organism
Of the difference between 4840 years
And the last one hundred sixty
And the evolution of the human race
As a whole
If you were to ask me what
I have seen in the last 5000 years
I would tell you this and more
Much more
If you were a tree
Would you give your
Answers in the breeze?
Or would you politely tell them
To fuck off?
Balance Out The StarsWhen you balance out the starsBalance Out The Stars2 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
No matter who you are
When everything fails you
And life doesn't get you very far
Just live with it
You'll ascend to the heavens
When you balance out the stars
And your life is full of scars
When nothing works out
It becomes extremely hard
Just live with it
You'll ascend to the heavens

They will find you
You're in The Hole
Where you always are
They're not happy
About
You telling the warden
What they have been doing
For the past year
They hate getting in trouble and
They're about to make sure
They never do again
Eight cats will have fun
Hunting you

One song can break a heartThere used to be a song. I would close my eyes, feeling every beat of it. Imagining us, walking on a sunny day, hand in hand. Lost in the streets and parks of the town. Having an Autumn afternoon, trampling on the red and yellow foliage . Hand in hand. You and me. And every time when you would kiss me, the world would stop turning around. Every breath I would take when you would hugged me would spin my own world around. Just doing nothing, only enjoying in those free two, maybe three hours together. Not thinking about possible rain, not talking too much. Just hand in hand. You and me. We just don't care. That's what that song was gOne song can break a heart3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

DisarrayDisarrayDisarray3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I wish I couldn't feel anymore.
Unbearable this pain is.
I wish to be cold,
A heart of stone.
Where no emotion can penetrate.
Unwanted; a lonely life.
To bare a state of abandonment.
This mortal coil is choking me.
Leaving me gasping for air.
Quiver unaided, I can't breathe.
A lonesome road.
Pitch black darkness.
Light nowhere to be found.
The odds pitted against me.

There was a hot girl who loved money,
With a fat wallet you need not be funny;
But age ran its course,
Without much remorse,
And she has no one to love and call honey.

There was a little boy with a bat,
Who used it to beat up his cat;
The cat ran away,
He cries in dismay,
Because the house is infested with rats.

There once was a girl who would scream,
She lied, "It's to let off some steam."
Her mom lost her hearing,
And thus lost her bearing,
So she tied her up and threw her downstream.

Her diet consisted of pork;

I cried so hard that night. I will never forget the look on his face when he remembered me. Three years had passed- three years of broken abandonment. As if sent by God Himself, back to my life, there he was! My beautiful Sabrian. But my God . . . he was nothing but skin, bones, and scars. He ran from me the first time I tried to catch him. My heart cried to him- and for him. But after minutes of being with him, I touched his cheek, moving my hand up over his eye, and down t2. Love2 years ago in Emotional More Like This

Where new flowers unfurl,
When the summer sun shines long,
And the sap flows strong,
The Goddess of summer
And ancient secret passions -
Heracleum,
In her new green and red dappled dress,
Idly stretches and yawns.
She hums a sweet tune,
That floats slow through the air,
Flirtatiously mocking the Vashka,
Who is too busy to care,
Swooping in iridescence,
An agile hunter of the skies!
And under bright moon shine,
Crisp and clear,
Rippling white upon the dark wooded lake,
Heracleum stands proudly tall,
Elegant and regal,
Knowing all and observing more,
She takes on the form of a Siren

The man she loved
The same man she hated
Ironic.
Walking through the altar
Feeling every moment
As if there's someone waiting for her
Alone.
At some point she would stop
Down on bended knees
Screaming in agony
Crying.
She would say it loud
His name, over and over
No one hears
Kevin.
She would scorn that name
Give the blame
That very same day
Accident.

the evil in innocence
the beauty in darkness
a world where we are
bottom center, looking up at all

indefatigable weariness of carrying

to our terror and fear
and we see you, your silly secrets, not
as evil as the things we dream
you will know us by our eyes,

Falling into a state of disrepair

Hidden behind a mask of perfection
Painted face beyond recognition
I wonder if you're still there
I noticed that your deft hands are still now
As they lead precision across your features
They no longer tremble from inexperience
I noticed that you've grown into your mask now
I've forgotten who you used to be
And now you seem to me
Like a plastic barbie doll
All perfection and flawless skin
I wonder if you remember still
What it was like
To look into a mirror
And not see a plastic mannequin
I miss the old you
I wonder if you're still there?

TorturesBlood rushed through my veins as I was sneaking through the empty corridors. Light steps of my bare feet made no sound that could give my presence away by echoing from the stone walls. I moved noiselessly like a field mouse hiding from a hunting cat; from wall to wall, from bend to bend. Silence was my sister and Darkness was my mother; she kindly hid my form under her gown.Tortures2 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
