I've Been Remiss

I haven't been on this site for a while, which is terrible since I started it. I've had some major issues with my bipolar disorder and haven't been able to go near the computer. FYI: I've banned some members that felt this was an appropriate place to advertise pharmaceuticals. That will not be tolerated and any member who posts spam will be deleted. This is a place for serious writers to post their work and network with other writers. Those kind of people will be welcomed. I hope that e… Continue

The Heath

Vague lights flicker on the heath As shattered spirits glow to lure The bogs that call at midnight chime Where a forgotten enemy walks no more Thirst runs deep on the barren heath Vague mists rise and shadow the mind Singing so soft like sirens of the sea Continue

Dark Matter...Angel Of Light

Dark Matter...Angel Of Light born of dark matter...stardust..light mixed with blood-blackened dirt we come wailing into a void of death our days numbered-measured-named... woven in darkness, warp and weft the threads lengthen...a legion hand in hand a reaping has begun for this...this is his... some, gone before the spark is lit much mourned with tears...envy their road never taken...sweet brief luminous shimmering-pale spirits___ shine-bright...a beacon, a sign of glory then weary-weakened by… Continue

Cornflower Blue

wild blue cornflowers grow neatly in a row across a narrow patch of well tended lush green grass it is a tiny patch no wider then foot across nor longer then two feet at the most but love and obsession speaks in every blade of grass that grows, so perfect not a sign of brambles nor weeds and the bright blue cornflowers are tended with love at the head of the tiny plot rests a brilliant white stone a lamb and a weeping angel forever lie side by side while the cornflowers he loved so much nod… Continue

Death on Route 36

This short story was inspired by 3WW, the words being: inappropriate order shortcut The three men made inappropriate remarks as she brought them their order, three Big Boy Breakfasts. As a waitress in a dusty truck stop in the middle of the Arizona desert, along a major shortcut on the highway, she was all too used to being groped and harassed. The men were heavyset, donning dirty overalls and wife beaters, their long greasy hair loosely tied into ponytails. A dime a dozen… Continue

Gone Fishing

torn from the womb the jellyfish screams in the night for its mother the drunken whore. its eye opens onto the world the nightmarish bliss the mother kisses the head of the fish goodbye. Into the dumpster the father sighs then blows his brains out with the 45. mind-matter covers the baby fish as tears fall from its lids filling its gills the sirens wail the lights blue, white, red discolor the house. in the basement the birth happened the neighbors watched outside in the cold dogs bark music pla… Continue

Come to Me, My Sweet

Come to me my sweet; allow me to lavish upon you the affection that I am dying to bestow. I want nothing more than to please you, to set your skin aflame with the passion kindling within me. It has been so long, too terribly long, and I only wish to experience the wondrous pleasures that a man like you can grant me. I have been so lonely, my flesh aching to feel the loving touch of a man such as you. Do not fear, do not worry, I merely want to feel you inside of me, feel your lips caressing my s… Continue

Eternal Requiem

Falling into fitful slumber Eternal requiem playing in my mind Words oft spoken but rarely heard Repeated over and over again, My everlasting bane. Dreams sublime turn to nightmares Horrid, that haunt my weary soul Never ending, no peace in death Lost here to forever roam Barren lands, desolate and despairing With nowhere to call home.

Welcome

On a whim I decided to start this social network to have a place for people whose writing is mostly dark and tragic. Maybe you suffer from a mental illness or addiction (I am a bipolar addict) that colors your writing with a melancholy you can't deny. Or maybe you just like to write about the not so sweet side of life. Whatever your reason for joining, welcome! You'll have to forgive me for my ignorance as this is the first social network I have started and I'm still playing around with it and… Continue
