I want a simple and quiet life. I want ordinary things in life like a simple breakfast with my own family. I want a life where home is not just a place to live but instead it's a place where no heartaches, where no-one grieve over people or different things, where no one hurt or fear from anything. I want a house where we all heal and we raise a family that doesn't need to heal. A simple life where we all eat dinner together while laughing over simple things.

[monachopsis-muse]

A silent offering

Why would I pretend to love living?

Why drape myself in joy’s tattered cloth,

when the seams fray with every step I take?

I don’t smile for myself—

but for the silent comfort of a world

that cannot bear to see what I carry.

Perhaps because hating it doesn’t make it go away.

No amount of disdain

can fold these moments into nothingness.

How cruelly persistent time is,

dragging me along,

its hand cold, unrelenting.

How I’d love to donate these worthless years

to someone hungry for the future,

someone who would take this heaviness

and spin it into something dazzling,

something light.

"To love you has never been a burden."

loving you is not like someone ordered me to do it, it comes naturally, its something that keeps banging my chest so i had to release it so it won't hurt me.

loving you has never been a chore, loving you has never been like a task, it come so naturally that i didn't know that i show it obviously.

loving you is more like a pattern, as natural as the way i blink my eyes, as natural as how my heart keeps pumping. Like, the process of breathing, its essential to life.

So, if you'll ask me why do i do it, I'll tell you that its like a natural phenomenon, that even me don't know how did it even start.

"To love you has never been a chore."

I'm not good at reaching the top shelves.

I can only reach the liquor,

But I spend time with you in my dreams.

I could reach you,

But I'm so small now,

and I don't know what to do with my hands.

I reach for you in my dreams.

On Voice

She, who is the artist, is the dumbest of them all. 

For the artist makes no craft, nor controls capital. 

She has tricked herself into the mistaken belief,

That art can be profound beyond science’s grief.

Who is she, to think she knows.

As here she sits and dares compose,

Some poem addressed to the dead, the lost.

Yet, now she wonders, has she come to that line crossed?

To the point she can’t go past?

They’d be oh so awfully aghast.

Yet that appeared the only choice. 

To put down the pen, to give up her voice.

[pileofrcks]

A martyr for my love

She knows how to skin me alive

She doesn’t know my blood stained her teeth

Or that I have to kill my self just to touch her

Are we allowed to laugh?

When I’m in love I feel like a liar

You probably think it’s dumb that I could never tell you I love you

Blinded by the headlights so I jumped off the bridge

She’ll leave me because I’m a coward

Never could get your name to leave my lips

I talk about virtues with my head between your hips

I don’t believe in a god

Something worse has to kill me

I was a damn fool to believe anything could hold me

Salvation was only something i believed in when you touched me

If I die dirty, let it be under your tongue

Let me die a Martyr for you

My nature begs me to suffer

I can never have anything I want

APRIL

See my books go to my brother,

he'll love them when he's older.

And my vinyls to my big sister,

so her voice might just get bolder.

Send flowers to my cousin

she'll want to hear the news.

Tell her that I'm sorry

for having so short a fuse.

Give the crows some peanuts

so they know I won't return.

Read all of my letters

and please watch them as they burn.

Give my last breath to the wind

chimes,

and my age to the newborn trees.

Give my voice to the barn cats kitten,

And my direction to the flocking geese.

You know i will be leaving leaving

And I know it will be soon;

so send my body down the river,

and my soul up to the moon.

[toragay-writing]

I need more writer friends so bad!

I'm 17, they/them pronouns. I'll write just about anything, but I write mostly dark fantasy, thriller and horror. Almost always with romance as a subplot. I also write poetry.

I'm willing to read anything and give advice if you would like any.

I am hoping to be published the summer of next year. I should have several manuscripts ready by that point.

Comment or reblog or dm me if you wanna be friends.

[mimimurmurs]

my heart is a

rotted peach

that sits in my chest.

too sweet

too soft

to be touched

without falling to pieces.

[aliciagarci]

In the midnight's hush, a poem I shall weave,

With words that captivate, and minds it shall deceive.

Imagery and rhythm, a dance upon the page,

A masterpiece of wonder, to keep people in awe and engage.

From nature's beauty to love's sweet embrace,

Each line a stroke of art, a story to embrace.

With words as my paintbrush, I'll create a vivid scene,

A tapestry of emotions, like you've never seen.

So let your imagination soar, as the words come alive,

In this unique poem, let your spirit thrive.

For in the realm of poetry, wonders unfold,

Leaving hearts enchanted, and stories yet untold.

May this poem be a journey, a magical flight,

That keeps you in awe, from morning until night.

For poetry has a power, to touch hearts and souls,

And leave a lasting impression that forever unfolds.

[a-moonlit-poet]

In silent echoes of the night, my heart does weep,

Longing for a love I dare not speak, yet keep.

A solitary flame, burning with ardour's plight,

Alone I dwell, in the shadows of unrequited light.

Darling,

for I am the artist and

you, my favourite muse,

Everyone but you could tell

how long I burned for your soul.

The scars may have healed

But I still remember how they stung

This battle may be over

But there’s always a war to be won

We may get to enjoy the moonshine

But what if we lost the sun?

This game is dangerous

It’s best if I run

But I can’t

Because you’re standing in my way

A treacherous path, a reckless journey

It’s hard to say

Which choice is the right one to make

They could both lead to heartbreak

But if I play it safe

I might live with regret

And yearn to go back and undo the mistake

That is leaving you

Because if I’m being honest

You burn too bright to just be ignored

I can’t keep my mind from drifting to you

When I’m busy and when I’m bored

You’re skipping around my imagination

With a teasing remark and a million-dollar smile

And I just have to accept

That I’m going to be here a while.

There are reasons to be afraid

But there are also reasons to be brave

I don’t want to give in to fear

A life controlled by caution

Is a life of shame

Because those who live that life

Are in the coward’s lane

That used to be me

But now I want to change

Underneath it all, I’m still terrified

There’s a voice in my head saying that if I run away now, it’ll all be fine

But I think hearts were made to be broken

And my spirit will most likely be lost

If never on any of my ventures

Do I have to pay a great cost.
