beggars in love by =RakistangNars



from this moment on,
i vow not to wear slippers nor sew
torn hems of mini skirts

for you told me i'm sexy in tatters.

with you, i wanna stray
walk naked in dread locks,
greased in metallic black
ask for alms and burger left-overs
make love on the overpass

let us get wasted,
bite the dirt off fingernails
leave hair uncombed
teeth unbrushed
sheets unwashed.

barefoot and naked
with poise, class, finesse
i'll sashay through the highway
in one of your oversized shirts


i'll be a sexy beggar,
but not as quite as you are

for no beggar is as sexy
as the one who begs:

"please make me come."






Dustyfooted daughter by ~duskydawn




Worn into something I am not
My feet are no longer alive.
Way deep ingrained into consciousness
Thwarting the sanitary hive.
Finally lost in the wilderness


Where I know I cannot be found
Happy to wander my life in dusk
Where sound is nothing but rebound.
I will keep travelling on this road
The trail of booming and bust
With my frail head full of cobwebs
For I have no reasons, but must.
Metallic red mixing in my wake
Twilight is falling to hide rust


And with the little grains silently
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.





the sparow's broken anthem by ~blackheart000



my nightingale sang her saddest hymn
as the gray blanket of dawn is flooded with yellow light;


her brown imposing feathers covered the

melancholy
as she chirped her songs accentuated with

sharps and flats,
making me wish that i can spread my broken wings


and wrap 'em to chase away the coldness in

her heart;
making me pray to the clear blue sky that my

canticle of better days
can change the notes of her pensive aria

covered in poetic lyrics,
making me yearn more and more
that my monochromatic avenue can mimic
the utopia that even the most colorful words

cannot build.




Timeless Iconic Art by ~Lora-I


Ages of sadness flow into me
ages of mercy weep to be...
aeons of love moan to be free
my aeons of hatred I gave to thee...

I will erase my soul,
even if I have a thousand lives to spend
I will wander through the ashes of light
even if I lose myself forever in the dark

gods are silent, demons sleep...
I will walk heartless above the abyss
even if I have a thousand tears to give

I will reach the mournful gates
even if I am cursed by a thousand fates
I will engrave on the perished portal
with bleeding hands: 'Art Is Immortal'



arcane lips, a broken arch...


I will succumb your fading shadow
even if I lose all my thousand hallows

I will appear as a tranquil pilgrim
blessed forever with a dying sin
in the depths of your morbid voice
even if I've buried a thousand joys

gods hurt, demons ache...
from my pains and my plague
I will fly soulless above the abyss
with the thousandth suffering bliss.
