  • Migraine Drain | Poem

    A vice grips tight, a vise of bone,My skull it squeezes, makes me moan.A thrumming starts, a dull, deep ache,Then builds to thunder, no mistake. Behind my eyes, a pressure grows,Like molten lead, it seeps and flows.A fiery band constricts my brow,Sweat beads erupt, I don’t know how To hold it back, this searing tide,That

  • In the limbo of thirty-something years,A quarter-life crisis veils its fears.Bound by dreams, yet lost in doubt,Searching for purpose, a whisper, a shout? What’s the meaning, in this fleeting phase,Where paths diverge in tangled ways?Questions echo, unanswered, unseen,In the chaos of what might have been. The clock ticks, a relentless beat,Each moment a challenge, a

    Horror Camp | Poem

    Deep in the woods where shadows grow long,A summer camp stands, deep fears stand strong.Children arrive with laughter and cheer,But soon they’ll learn what lurks near. The counselors smile with teeth so white,Their eyes gleaming in the pale moonlight.They lead the games and sing the songs,But beneath the fun, something’s wrong. Whispers echo through the

  • Lone Adventurer | Poem

    Adventure’s call, a banner unfurled,Through forests deep and mountains high,The thrill of the unknown, beneath the sky. With every step, a story unfolds,Legends whispered, in tales retold,Courage as compass, guiding the way,In realms of wonder, where dreams hold sway. The rush of wind, a wild embrace,Chasing horizons, leaving no trace,In daring leaps and fearless bounds,Adventure’s

  • Family Conflict | Poetry

    In the heart of kinship’s woven threads,A tapestry of love and strife,Lies the tale of words unsaid,And battles fought in daily life. First, the spark ignites the flame,A clash of views, a clash of wills,Each voice a note in discord’s game,Echoes in the silent hills. The roots that bind, they hold so tight,Yet strain against
