poem by Dakota Iris

Dreams, nightmares,paralysis, lucidity. The coloration? Regardless of the pain and the fear, its always better than the prescience of you. The torture of a satanic creature would be more pleasurable than the way your presence twis... Read more

poem by Misti D Lovelace

The fire is gone, whether forever or for awhile I do not know, My experiments prove the point, that my vision for the world, should not grow, That even though I tried to create happiness without sadness, The harder I pushed, the mo... Read more
