Who I am

I will no longer wear the faces That made the world comfortable with me. I will stand among my shadows, And let them see what they will see. My demons need no longer whisper, My angels need no longer hide. For I am neither saint nor sinner, But everything that lives inside. Let those who love the… read more

Desire we

I cannot stand a passive gaze, A man who drifts through empty days. I crave a fire, a potent hold, A story meant to be retold. Claim me with a certain might, Banish shadows with your light. Pull me in, a whispered plea, Let your deep obsession be. Desire me fiercely, do not cease, Find in me your… read more

Turn your face to the sun and let the shadows fall behind you 💛

Shadows and Desire

I once dreamed of gentle hands, A love like sunlit, open lands. No hint of storm, no whispered dread, But peace and comfort for my head. Then tales of shadowed hearts I read, Where passion's darker currents fed. A dangerous pull, a thrilling chase, That altered my heart's hopeful pace. The… read more

✍🏼

I want to be known, not merely seen, beyond the soft masking of where I have been. Not for the laughter I bring to the room, nor how well I bloom through the shadows and gloom. I want to be loved when the music turns low, when I run out of words and the light starts to fade, when the anchor falls… read more

My voids

After a long winter’s day, nothing beats snuggling up with your favourite cuddle buddy. 🖤🐈‍⬛ Two little shadows, tucked into their blankets, keeping each other warm until the world feels cosy again. ❄️�

I am irrationally happy

Mojo is starting to develop hunting instincts and he’s starting to actually play now. He was here pouncing on shadows Once he’s big enough to hold his own with the cat, imma kick him outta my room and can close my door and not hear meowing all night. Oooooh buddy 😋

Lunch is time for game

I listened to music and took photos of shadows, leaves, and flowers.

Tattoo

Tattoo Inked stories etched on skin, Whispers of joy, hearts that spin, A tapestry of love and pain, Memories trapped, forever lain. Each curve a journey, each line a vow, Symbols of solace that time won't allow, A phoenix rising, fierce and free, Art that pulses, breathing history.… read more

Lonely

Being lonely is like a silent room, Where shadows stretch and fill the air, A hollow space, a coming doom, A burden that the heart must bear. It's like a ship lost on the sea, No compass guiding, no clear shore, Adrift in vast immensity, Forever searching, wanting more. A garden where no flowers… read more

"Somewhere between the shadows and the light, I found my peace.”

A Writer's Wish

A couple years ago my relationship was coming to an end. I started spending more time out in nature. I rediscovered Mary Oliver and a love of writing my own poetry. Later, I discovered that I also enjoyed writing prose and nature essays. Last week, I was sitting on a bench (much like Miss Brill)… read more

Just like a Sunflower.

Now Watching : "Dark Shadows" (2012)

Seems fitting 🧛🏽‍♀️

Some thoughts this early Sunday morning walk🖤🥀

Beneath the breath of a sleeping sky, where forgotten shadows lie, the spiders weave what eyes can't see— silken secrets of eternity.🕸️🖤🥀

I wonder how light from our star, colors from plant pigments, and shadows among the leaves as they wave in the breeze can flow together for something of beauty...

ME:

Hiding in the shadows

The Blindfold of Love

Love weaves a blindfold soft and tight To shade the harsh and heavy light It blurs the line of what is real And guards the fragile things we feel But when you peek beneath the lace The truth unmasks a different face The disguises fall, the illusions break And leave a quiet, burning ache Yet sight… read more

Changes

I have absolutely no idea how to introduce myself here, so I guess I'll just have a little existential crisis in public LMAOOO I've always liked to think of myself as a mutant. Every now and then, I seem to turn into a completely different person. My interests change, my dreams change, my… read more

Title: Arsenic for Socrates (yes I know he was poisoned with hemlock)

Golden shadows

Nature is busy shifting its colors, catching the perfect afternoon light. The air is crisp, the woods are still, and everything feels exactly as it should be.

A Promise in the Quiet

I watch the shadows gently trace the wall, And listen to the night softly draw near, I wonder when the summer rain will fall, And when the missing voice will wake my ear. I’ve held a lantern out against the cold, And kept a space beside me in the dark, A tender story waiting to be told, A quiet… read more

~The Best Of Me~ I give you the light ✨ I fought to keep, The calm that settles when shadows creep, And the truest promises I hold deep💕

Beyond These Walls

Beyond These Walls These walls may hold your body, but they cannot hold your soul. They may close a heavy door, but they cannot take away your hope. There are days when time stands still, and nights that feel too long, when memories return like shadows and you wonder where you belong. But listen… read more

The Morning

The morning wears a coat of gray, Before the world begins to wake, And shadows slowly drift away, Across the surface of the lake. A quiet pulse begins to beat, In every leaf and sleeping stone, The rhythm of a quiet street, A gentle world, not quite our own. Then golden light breaks through the… read more

Try this girls...

Ultra-realistic close-up fashion portrait of a stylish young woman, photographed from the shoulders up in a three-quarter over-the-shoulder pose. She turns her head back toward the camera with a calm, confident, slightly mysterious expression. Long straight black hair with subtle soft… read more

See me

I have a lot to tell you, So much I want to say, But you are not quite listening, You look the other way. I have so much to show you, Bright things I found to share, But you are busy looking down, And you are never there. So I am growing quiet, I lock up all my heart, And keep my words inside… read more

A love that can not be

What if the night, in shadows deep, Adored the sun, a burning star, Her ardent love she could not keep, Forever bound to gaze afar. A whisper in the cooling breeze, A sigh upon the moonlit dew, She yearned through silent, ancient trees, For warmth she never could pursue. Their worlds in constant,… read more

Rise or Fall

I'm a soldier, and that means... That I am both defendant and judge. I stand at both end of the fire. Leaning into the curves, Over taking life and death, I'm running to fight the shadows of lies. No matter how tangled the web of deception is woven, Truth will always illuminate the outline of… read more

Super Saiyan 3 Goku: Wrath of the Dragon (1995) vs. Dragon Ball Super: Beerus (2026)!

Nearly three decades apart, but Goku's legendary Super Saiyan 3 form still looks incredible! In Dragon Ball Z: Wrath of the Dragon (1995), Goku's SSJ3 appearance captured that classic DBZ style, with sharp expressions and bold shadows. Now, the Dragon Ball Super: Beerus remake brings the… read more

The cycle

For every memory locked behind bars, When the skin remembers prickly scars, And darkness becomes a familiar friend, To remind you of the inevitable end. But shadows arent made without light, And beyond such illusion lies the fight, Between those who slowly cut the rope, And those who dream of… read more

Masks I wear to keep the light

I laugh while shadows linger near, my smile, a veil for hidden tear. In jest I cloak my weary heart, a fool's parade, a crafted art. The world sees joy in painted grace, unmasking sorrow I embrace. With every quip, a silent plea, to hide the wounds no one can see. Yet still the… read more

When night and day meet

Where sun's last gleam begins to fade, And shadows stretch, a soft cascade. The moon awakes, a silver sigh, As day's bright colors softly die. Then stars begin their silent dance, A cosmic, slow, and deep expanse. The night's cool breath, a whispered plea, Meets dawn's first blush, for all to… read more

Stuck his entire face in the catnip

I got floppy fish toys for him and they came with catnip packets which he stuck his face into bc nosey. Now Patrick is licking the walls and hissing at shadows. Just say no to drugs, kids.

Whispers in the night

Anxiety creeps in as darkness falls, a shadow draped where silence calls. The mirror reflects a questioning gaze, haunted by doubts that set hearts ablaze. Will I find peace in the stillness of night? Will their whispers linger, turn warmth to fright? Did I touch the world, or just… read more

A Kushy Poem

Unfurling Unfurling unto the world both ancient and new A light in the darkness, mists in the dew A glimmer in the void, shadows long to find This light in my chest, this light that's mine A light in the mist Bathes in shadows that twist Darknesses encroach Endevouring beyond reproach To smother… read more

The Unraveling

If the folds of time crease the skin once more, Send the wailing shadows to the shore, And free the memories of pain and violence, Through the motionless deep the soul finds silence, And when a storm seeks to break the sand, scattered like ashes from a weary hand, Remember to spill a tear and break… (edited) read more

Blending into the shadows, but standing out in the crowd. 🖤🌟

My very first graphical art endeavor from years ago.

This represents my Inner child I preserved and hid from the world but not myself, Guiding me the Tiny Warrior Through the illusory soul school and testing ground we can life or the human experience. I tried to create the Hermetic " As above so below, as within so without" while hinting at multiple… (edited) read more
