meow, meow, meow
sings the moonlit shadow,
a velvet-footed ghost
with candles for eyes—
slipping between the ribs
of midnight’s broken fence.

A pawprint pressed
in yesterday’s rain,
a secret
curled
in the crook of a dying star.

meow, meow, meow
is not a call—
it is a spell,
whispered
in the hush
of the hunted.

Each syllable
a claw scratch
on memory’s silk.

She is dusk,
wearing fur made of fog,
tail a question mark
dragged through fallen petals,
bones rattling like wind chimes
in a temple no one visits
anymore.

meow, meow, meow
—again, again, again—
echoes in the cathedral
of a dream,
where fish fly
and time is just
a mouse
we keep chasing
through the rafters.

Have the people who can write poetry
somehow transcended?
Have they understood something
about the universe
that no one else has?

Why can’t things be simple?
Why must everything be intense,
profound,
with a hidden meaning—
with a touch of something
I don’t know how to name?
The color of Lilac,
is like a lavender dream,
the feeling of youthfulness,
like a flowing Lavender stream,
a world of Peace and Harmony,
Innocence and Tranquility,
A calmness of pure,
Life's amazing Imaginary,
It's in how you live, and
It's the love you give,
a beautiful Serenity,
Is fantasize Plenty,
Lilacs that Fall,
Deep within the valley
Is where the lilacs dwell,
So, come along and just see,
A world of Lilac Fantasies!!!

of the human race ? we mistake our place and
perhaps that's the throttle of our mystery

for what it's worth i am of this earth and the
earth itself has a birth in me
taken from Prompt 1
Who am I?
It’s life’s greatest question.
Life’s biggest quest.
We go through life with this feeling.
The feeling of needing to know
But not fully knowing what we are missing.
People become anxious,
Anxious of not knowing their purpose.
They become scared,
Scared they will never know.
But the reality is,
Life’s beauty is in the unknown.
The journey of finding your purpose.
So enjoy it.
Enjoy the unknown.
Enjoy the mystery.
Because in the end,
Whether big or small,
You make an impact on this world.

there is a hush
a silence of breaths
as the music dies

huddled voices huddle
troubled voices are more troubled
laughter dies and enters echoes

but how can there be
such a tragedy
the DJ's fall a mystery
its ****** on the dancefloor of course!

It feels like an unseen field.... a constant tension,  a rush of more tension, the acceleration of looking and seeing desire, the spiral of pulse, a void full of everything. as if I can sense with an imaginary skin some  thoughts screaming in your smile. they are blue riders on weightless nights, they roam the dunes of time. I think of you, hooked by a mystery that will never be solved

It was the mist that carried her over,
Her fragile form merged with the dark.
Her feet were wet and seeding clover,
And whatever she touched, she left a mark.
She drifts on mist and shadow, weaving fate with every step — the keeper of chance, the lady who marks the course of lives

Lowly, all pleasures sink;
No happiness it ever brought.
All joys that you may think
Repaint the pain you wrought,
Shall cling to you and bring
Horrors, woes, and rot.

Woe is you, woe is me—
She passes here at last.
Her voice and her shadow cast
The void that claws and stings.
Her shroud eternal, vast,
She that lives in darkness.

And beauty falls aghast by her tears;
The winding grass dances in trance beneath her marble feet.
Light couldn’t steal a glimpse of her,
Nor day or night dared to bring her peace.

For no moon shines above her head,
And the sun forgot and turned to rot
In her birthplace in the east.

All in shame in unison cried—
Angels and hellish beasts.

For devils could not stain her heart,
Nor soothe her pain, seraphims.

She that cloaks the darkness,
Her eyes that never sheen,
Made of hope departed
And all the forgotten dreams.

She knows every whining
Soul that dared to dream
For the shadowed traveler,
who walks between hope and despair—
a silent witness to forgotten dreams.
