A Friendly Betrayal by Tichieđź’•


“She loves me”,
So I thought.
“She will always defend me”,
So I thought.
“She smiles and hugs me so warmly”,
So I thought.

Oh! Oh how it stings!
Stabbed in the back so deep
With a dagger so wickedly sharp
But who?
Who would do such?
Who would cause me such pain?
A foe ? A thief in the night?

Alas! The pain fled to my heart as I beheld the culprit.
Her bloody red lips curve into a devilish smile.
How I wish my eyes deceived me.
How I wish I gazed upon a killer beast.
For this was no beast, she was….

She was the only one I gave my heart to PROTECT!!
….. My friend
So I thought!

    This is a very deep and sad poem. I loved it, although I wonder what motivated the writing. Must have been a really bad experiences.

    Ya must have been. The reality of the feeling that comes with the poem makes her a great poet. DM Tichieđź’• for more info. Thanks for your response

YOUR PEN by Krypton

Image
I have not a name like my owner. I am only a possession, one that is short lived in fact. I have an origin of moulds and plastic tubing. I am one that lies mute all day. One more thing I am is a channel. Yes, I was made for this very purpose after all. To convey mortal thoughts, fantasies and ideas. I bring them alive, alive to eyes that choose to see. I can be your amplifier too, as with my graceful strokes and twirls. I enhance your mind's very silent mutters. Giving them the loudness that's required  My purpose from the scratch does me in each and every moment of the way. It is like I was born to be used and abused. My blood is my voice, my fluids are the media through which I serve. In the end, I'd rather run dry than stay locked up. For, for this very reason do I exist. To be the voice of the dumb, the strength of the timid, the weapon of your bright mind.   I am your pen. - Krypton Author's Details:   Facebook:  Ejodamen Joshua   Twitter:  @joshua_CRYPTON   Email:

Beauty! Beauty!! Is it the eyes? Is it the nose? Is it the ears? Is it the mouth? To experience true beauty, Eyes! Look beyond make-up and fine abs Nose! Smell beyond the perfume Ears! Listen beyond the compliments of others Oh ye mouth! Taste beyond sweet plump lips Oh mankind! for Truly beauty is in THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.    -Tichieđź’• Author's Details: Ig: o_gozie Twitter: @Tichie_918 Email: gozieonyenankeya@gmail.com

FEAR (monologue) by Maco

Image
As I sat there staring anxiously at the clock, watching it slowly tick by with that cruel monotonous sound, ‘ tick, tock, tick, tock. ’   The fear sat there with me steadily eroding the person I was born to be, forcing me to stay in my little cocoon, my ‘safe haven’. Fear was my friend; he kept me safe in his cold, dark embrace, shielding me from all those prying judging eyes. It’s worth it right? I mean, my brain isn’t as brave as I want it to be, for in my life there are so many other people and his little voice always tells me I’m not good enough to be with them, that they’re in a league of their own, he tells me that he’s protecting me from this big bad world and all the disappointment that comes along with it. Sometimes I wonder if this is all worth it. Every time I so much as think about getting out of my comfort zone my hands and feet start trembling uncontrollably, my eyes water and a paralyzing pain courses through my body. What starts as my stomach contorting and tying itself
