Poetry

MutualismI. Impetus
I enter as a passerby,
        offering furtive glances to couples,
Strangers who wage war against each other
        from within their own consciences.
Canvases waft across the blank corridor –
Liaisons of thunderous smoke and crumbling cities
        that strobe through a room furnished with diverted eyes.
Each time the parable fades to black,
        I find it easy to believe
                that something so Dark could regulate existence's most intricate enigmas.
Malnourished worlds are debris in an expanse littered with passionate stares,
Stares that penetrate the transient night to shelter just one.
Then the tantrum flashes back,
Presenting quarreling pairs
        who seem to have

Mutualism by Canescen

A poem layered with musings and
meanderings observing the meaningful symbiotic
 relationships of all things.

the deep blackMostly I am comforted by
the deep black.
Coming back was
waking in the middle of a cheap
carnival at night.
Bells and whistles and flashing lights,
tons of people and nothing making sense
or holding still.
I longed for the silence.
My brain handed me little hallucinations,
like hors d'oeuvres,
pumped full of stimulant and throwing up
ash and Bacardi
and the machines going off
whenever my heartbeat dropped
and they came to shoot me
back up again.
The only thing I'm afraid of is not dying.
I can live and I can die.
But not-dying,
never again.

the deep black by sunshinegypsy

Fear of dying is a common theme in
poetry, but it is usually presented in abstract.
 This visceral meditation on an actual
death-experience is tangible and moving.

Tattoos by alesuriko

Suggester writes: Every tattoo
has a story and the stories behind these
 tattoos tell two. They tell the life of the
ink'd one and the love story of the narrator.

ObsessionIt takes 14 minutes and twelve seconds to walk to your home from mine every day.  Your mother never fails to smile at me when she opens the door. I never fail to notice that it doesn't reach her eyes anymore.
You leave your door open an exact two point three centimeters. I don't think you do it on purpose. There is something wrong with the wood that has left it that way. I pause one foot outside the door and listen to you cough, trying to determine how sick you feel today. I hate that every time I think you are particularly ill, I am always right.
Six months, seventeen days and fourteen hours. That is how long its been since the doctors told us you had an illness. I sat there with your parents, listening to a man who said words like 'terminal' and 'leukemia', and counted the number of times he said 'patient' as if it were your name (Seventeen).
The blood bank says one unit is four hundred and fifty milliliters and I watch as they put the needle into my ar

Obsession by UntamedUnwanted

Suggester: "With great skill and raw
honesty, the author imbues the stark, cold
 entity of numbers with deep, radiating
emotion and significance."
