River of Styx And there I sat with Charon, with countless damned souls beneath his ferry boat . "Am I gonna join them?" I asked. He looked upon me with half of his grim face covered. "Don't ask a question only you can answer." He replied in a raspy voice. "Fate lies upon the the threshold of fire, embodied by dread and malice." He pointed forward at Hades' abode, with the three headed beast guarding its gates. Named, "Cerberus". Rowing around the river for eternity, I looked…
Beyond your perceptions. `When they say the world is met with the troubled fate of its enigmatic forces that is beyond our human reasoning. Philosophers tend to decipher what truly is beyond the boundary of our perceptions, will we ever find the absolute truth?` Poetry is like a gun, when the trigger is pulled and the bullets fire to a victim, it sprouts a venom; deadly or not: To infect its heart and soul and will ever be the benevolent stride of such words to construct the…
Sisters of fate. Unlucky of me to perceive this art Beyond of my understanding of love Though unfair, the play; I should do my part- Woven from the three sisters, white as dove. How can one master his own misery? When all comes down to overcome their fate. Bounty may life is, it makes us greedy. Shaping boundaries, blossomed love this late. Endure the agony, play by the script, Hope to be rewarded by my effort, Nothing would be better than to accept, My faith, my love, or…
The maid of Orleans. [Joan of Arc] Old Joan looked at me- As if no maid lead the revolution, For centuries gone by, Ever drawn to the courageous hearts, That long to see the world, Where the sun never sets, Where the wind plays fair, And our eyes fed by the spectacle; Of glory, wisdom, and faith. Long the wonder and remnants, In the dark and hopeless times, For she, the maid of Orleans, Come to save us thee. **- Marcmire**

Legacy. Point that gun at me, In this well-lighted refurbished room, Stain it with the blood of mine, Do it by playing: Auld Lang Syne; Tell me once more the beauty of the past. As well I've lived my youth To the ages gone by. Look me in the eyes, Ever fair reaper that lone wander– To the shadows of those in despair. Never was; Content of my heart has become, Farewell to my kin, Legacy, And memories. - **𝐌arcmire**
All bloom. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐦 For a multitude of possibilities that we won’t ever meet, here we are in a field of roses, intertwined, aligned, as though fate made a scheduled date. I look at you and I see the future, all in bloom, set in course with our own ideology of romanticism. The euphoria of touching your hand, taking me to cloud 9, wishing that it won’t ever end. We will defy reality and its flaws. Our dinner dates that fills my stomach with butterflies even if we hadn’t still…
Amor. 𝐀𝐦𝐨𝐫 Even the harshest climates of the world, Would ever stand against us two lovers, Like thousand a march would our voice be heard Love itself would be the one that conquers- When the universe separates our place, I will navigate the daring path of- The depths of the ocean vowing the chase- To the ends of the Earth, you, I found love. They will never extinguish the wildfire, It will grow, even Eros bats an eye, Higher like the nature of my desire, Darling, hold my…
One last time. [Trigger warning : Suicide] **Midnight.** Sitting in a corner of my apartment, where the moonlight and city lights can reach through, illuminating the room slightly. The curtains are swaying back and forth from the wind. **Tick tock, tick tock**. The sound of the clock echoes inside this god-forsaken place. Everything is blurry now, and I can’t imagine a future being in a state of stabilization and comfort. ***This is like cancer, it lives in the depths of…
Introduccion. Hello there, my name’s **Marc from the Philippines**. A 19 years old who writes and plays video games for a hobby. I mostly excel much in poetry, writing mostly **provocative and blasphemous** pieces just to take people’s perspectives into another light, but of course I still dwell in the ideas of **romanticism** and the clash between **idealism and realism**. I solely believe that this world needs to learn all about perspectives. There are things that they are…
Lost Spark of dim-lighted avenues; And them uninvited guests Pardoned by him, the mayor— Ever kind and grateful. Mind them no favor, Nor intent of grave danger. Them, the lost memories of few. Wandering the nights; When happiness was ever true. **- Marcmire**

Denouement III. *And the crowd applauded, and cheers can be heard inside the theater, "What a good show! Such a good show!" The audience exclaimed. Have we reached a conclusion? Or is there more?* What makes a melodrama a sight for sore eyes? A bullet that can pierce the empty soul and fill it with bloom nor gloom? It happened to them like a round of a .50 caliber shot out. IV. When the show reaches denouement, people go to their separate ways but it will never end. The…

Humanity's strongest soldier I Levi Ackerman ከግድግዳው በላይ **Y.847** **Trost District** As the brazen sunlight meets with my speckled eye, northwards where the abominations lie, I keep telling myself if I ever will conquer my elusive fate when I die. My mother who was early to be called, beneath the underground where she was pure heaven; an ecstasy, a pure punch of euphoria inside me. Until the day she died, I shook hands with death to earn my early merits of war, to where I…
Looking back. **Looking back** Looking back at the decisions that I’ve done, would have I ever done better? Every night I keep myself awake, thinking about the times where I fucked things up; where I totally destroyed my opportunities to get better in life. ***Did I truly have a choice?*** I chose to run away from problems that seem so big for me to conquer, only to be cornered in a cul de sac a few years later. ***Why am I so naive?*** Every night I think that, “Is life…
Common Ground **Common ground;** Our story wasn’t meant to end, Still, I’m offering my hand to mend- The things that hurt and can’t be undone, Will we give it a chance? I hope we can relive the memories of then, The flowers wither gray. Still I’ll be willing to make them bloom again. Only you can bring rain to the inevitable drought. Assembling the broken pieces, As they are broken off to tinier fragments, Of our love- We thought to be stronger than the storm. I’m sorry, my…
Truly Kafkaesque. *Kafkaesque,* *The ideology that was established by Franz Kafka himself, embodying the nightmarish qualities of realism brought into the world of fantasy.* *His work, during his days, weren't that much all recognized. It was recognized when his friend didn't burn his writings; which he asked in his death bed, but instead published them to the public. There, it gained praise from literary critics and authors alike.* *His life was never that easy, as to been…
Perpetual **PERPETUAL** *(Trigger warning : Sexual assault, Pedophilia, Rape)* A priest came to me saying that I was fit for serving the lord when I was 8. Me, as a young boy, seeing divinity as power to help and serve the people, I devoted myself to priesthood. I became a servant of the church, attending to every mass and having the privilege to serve the altar. The lord’s light shone upon my forlorn heart as it paved the way for a better outcome of my life. Ever since my…

Sands of time*** Suddenly, I woke up seeing the **pyramids.** Under the scorching sun with no one in the midst, While the heat embraces my fair skin, And the sands dance at the wind’s hymn, On top, the heavens beckon me to go, to tie the severed connection; to balance the flow. Ever bearing the…
All blue. *“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”* *―* ***William James*** The thought of the vastness of the ocean and how its enigmatic depths capture the weary soul, beguiles me. We could never deny how rejuvenating the waves and sea breeze are. Looking at the horizon at night feeling as if you're temporarily tethered to the sea. Peace in solitary. Imagine being alone at the seaside late at night where your friends are already…

Clouds - Flash-Fiction Challenge It was the last day of summer vacation, I went to the cliff where I usually scan for clouds during the day. I was really fond with the place since my grandparent’s home were away from the city, peacefully residing in the countryside. It was the perfect place to let my thoughts run free and have fun making out the clouds on what things they would seem to appear until today, Since childhood, they seem to depict what would happen in the future,…
Untitled #1 “Heal my soul, to your epiphany. Never have wanted to see the day, When I have to think of many, To countless worlds I have traveled, Found wisdom; forbidden late, What’s little of my faith I held. Alone wandering in concrete jungle as it seems exploring to endless trouble As unknown they may be. I never wanted to make a plea, But I hope one day, One day, It’d set me free.” -Marcmire
"We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;— World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems." - Ode I Arthur O'Shaughnessy
State of Emergency ACT I State of Emergency. **(Act I)** Do you hear that? The call of nature, As she arrives to see everything’s a failure, Crumbling debris in the distance like a fracture. Inevitable destruction is all she must do, To pay for our sins of neglection. In our living world. We were given the chance, To dictate and alter anything to our fold, By any means to survive, Like our human instincts thrive. Even if it hurts her deep. Now it’s her turn, to make the…
Andromeda I wouldn't fret at the sight of the stars that twinkles upon the darkness of the world, or rather flee from the natural art that the gods gifted the immortal souls of those who already left this unbeknownst realm. For I know you're there, shining upon the skies with them. I know you don't shine the brightest, but you're enough for me. Enough to make my whole dim lighted heart, spark and activate its cogs to function. Thank you for being there. I will see you soon,…
