SMILE AND LET IT BE

WRITTEN BY HASTY HUSBAND I care But do I Feelings I share But so many left behind   I am not who I am Hidden behind the old man Struggling with fiction Contrast to my reality   What is important I do not know Clarity escapes me Confusion I see   We are all liars…

KILLING SHADOWS

When Shruti wants to write…we write!  🙂  Love you pretty girl! Written by A Shade of Pen and HastyWords In this maze of life, I keep seeing shadows Are people always shady or have I been cursed so? I thought you to be my soul mate and yet you crushed me deep Now, I wonder…

THE BLACKEST ENDING

KNOWING YOU…FOREVERMORE

Written by Pharphelonus and HastyWords   Your smile brims with happiness Like your joy must be abounding It lights the room in sparkles And warms the space surrounding you But I know you, my angel And I can only help but wonder Are you really smiling?   Your emotions hide silently Behind the deepest crystal…

FLOATING THROUGH THE STORM

Written by The Reclining Gentleman and HastyWords I’m tired of swimming towards a destination Only to be told it’s in a different direction Floating only lasts so long before Hunger strikes and I must move on   My limbs tired, my lungs empty My eyes trace the infinite horizon Searching for an oasis of stable,…
