No Bird

Published on Fri, 2^nd Oct 2026 at 23:17

by William Troup

No bird, whose patience rarely flaunts, delights in a cage to slowly bide; their flight, whose feathers do rarely recall, awaits the battlement to gracefully fall. A wholesome flower prevails in truth, as summer's veil beckons their youth; no bird, whose callings scarcely

Pleasure First

Published on Sun, 27^th Sept 2026 at 00:17

by William Troup

For pleasure first, the anodynes break this deadened heart; now pastures sleep! Anew in pleasure, no queries beset this addled mind; aloft in peace! Regaling pleasure, this mumbling pride, to fleeting ears; I'm all but sleep! For pleasure first,

Untroubled in His Abode

Published on Sun, 13^th Sept 2026 at 23:16

by William Troup

Untroubled in his abode, the wheel knows not of innocence; no altruism did creep, or water seep, in the shallows of his sleep. Tied upon the mast, his heart has all but left, and further does the coastline seem, as oceans beget his past. Untroubled in his abode,

Would I Suit Your Gentle Ear?

Published on Mon, 7^th Sept 2026 at 23:04

by William Troup

Would I suit your gentle ear? my voice is all you may hear! how the axe did cut the tone is where I remain, standing alone. So friable in this desperate land, my heart did turn to sand, and what did come is a listening knight ... so would I suit your gentle ear?

Tests

Published on Sat, 29^th Aug 2026 at 01:12

by William Troup

At his behest, with little protest, they did invest in faithless tests. At his contest, with weary guests, they did request an earnest quest. At his address, with addled pests, they did arrest and free the best. At his recess, with little prospect, they built a

His Masters High Demands

Published on Thu, 27^th Aug 2026 at 16:40

by William Troup

Unwillingly, to himself, addressed his masters high demands; within the saddle, he did retest a trail he had yet to command! Open wounds did flow his pride; a freshly scented curse! now warders hold those souls at bay, as crimson red divides. Unwillingly, on

Fire, Fire!

Published on Thu, 27^th Aug 2026 at 00:33

by William Troup

Fire, dire, learning light, catch the forest in the early night; eternal embers hands the eye a fallen star, in wistful fights! Flyer, higher, yearning knight, catch the feathers in the flailing plight; embittered flowers cast a hand on failing hearts, in whimsical bites! Fire,

Chess

Published on Tue, 25^th Aug 2026 at 01:00

by William Troup

And said I that my heart is cold, and said I that my voice is old, as earnest fires all but die; this path is bare in recreant proof. And said I that my soul is dead, and said I that my mind is dread, as hawthorns pierce the final beats; this garden is replete with

Beneath the Leaves

Published on Sat, 22^nd Aug 2026 at 22:20

by William Troup

Beneath the leaves the soil believes this world still greaves for clouded thieves. Of what they achieved, we can but weave? as oceans deceive the shores of leaves. Beneath the leaves the stone conceives a rose in eve; shall we believe?

Warm With Sun

Published on Wed, 19^th Aug 2026 at 23:51

by William Troup

Warm with sun in this dying room; ferns cling to hopeful clouds that speak in tongues from a quite doom; mocking thee! taunting thee! Distance wrinkles show their face in lines I cannot retrace; and of morrows tempest? the woodpeckers sing, yet thier

A Quiet Place

Published on Tue, 18^th Aug 2026 at 20:21

by elsaa revo

Author Notes: This poem is a reflection on healing, hope, and finding strength after difficult moments. It explores the quiet journey of accepting pain while learning to believe in brighter days ahead. I hope readers can find a little comfort and hope within these words.

A Quiet Place I found a quiet place inside my mind, Where broken thoughts could rest, Where every wound I tried to hide Could finally breathe its best. The moon looked down with gentle eyes, The stars were soft and bright, And for a moment, all my fears Were swallowed by the night. I

Remember

Published on Fri, 3^rd Jul 2026 at 00:15

by William Troup

I came upon a journey, but I couldn't tell you where; I've tried in vain to remember, but all I see is despair! I've slept through many a night hoping the dream would come, yet further did I fall, and all that remained is scared ... I came upon a

High Tide

Published on Mon, 22^nd Jun 2026 at 21:56

by William Troup

It came upon the high tide, here, we've nowhere to hide; now afar, on the other side, rests an ocean so short of lies! Poseidon dreams upon the storm we've begat from stolen trees; what it leaves? we cannot believe! ... as frozen is the forgotten truth ...

Love Did Never Consume Me

Published on Thu, 18^th Jun 2026 at 00:00

by William Troup

Love did never consume me, nor take its toll on time; Her flowers bloomed in gentle winds that yearned for me to begin! My love did scream in glee! yet scream of me in greed? My ghastly fears prevail, with tears, as my heart does longingly dream ...
