From rose-tinted glasses, to see through holes

Uricka Brown

The embers hissed in the hearth, sending pale curls of smoke twisting toward the cracked ceiling. The air was thick with the acrid scent of burned paper and regret. I inhaled deeply, feeling the smoke coil around my lungs like a serpent, as my heartbeat steadied from its once frantic pounding. At my side sat the spectre of my younger self-wide-eyed, raw, and trembling her tears catching the firelight in glistening rivulets.“We’ve climbed a mountain of grief,” I murmured, voice low and steady, “from worshipping a callous boy to forging peace ...

Muse: Apologies if this isn't your usual type of letterHe was my museRhythm to my rhymeThe heaven to my hellDark brown eyesBright like the morning sunBut words shapeas a two-edged knifeAs my blood runs ever so dryOn the cold concrete floorAs my eyes shed oneteardrop at a timeLips soft as a butterfly touchTo my muse that was never mineTouch as delicate as a baby's touchWords smooth as the lies that were toldLike sugar-coated sweets, my museThat was never mineIt was wrong but felt so rightI was young and naiveBut oh how his touch was likethe s...

Cave of bloodshed and mysteries

Uricka Brown

It was a hot summer morning when My friends and I went out on the beach at Nevada Park as we were running about enjoying the cool summer breeze and cool river water that's when I spotted a cave over onto the other side of the white sanded beach 'that was never there before' I thought to myself. I got curious and walked over to it "Hey man where you going" Ralph said from behind his black being swept about as the breeze. "There's a cave over here, man I'm going to check it out," I said back as I continued walking but this time slower, the clo...
