THE BROKEN ONE - BY JRQC



Rage, sadness, solace, rapture, depression,

she falls into the pit over and over again,

and from the broken pieces she rebuilds herself... again...in pain?

off the disheartened broken sunset she feeds on the memories of his dwelling,

while a choir of voices is heard, in waves, free of pain.


Rage makes the soul walk in sticks, and softly bandages the heart

and the mind covers it in silk,

to better sense the reality in a soothing way,

where her deceiving soul and passion raise the flag of his heart.


Sadness, oh that ugly bitter one which marks the silhouette of the candle,

and causes havoc in the room of her solitude,

why should it stay with her when solace conforms her deepest desire,

is it not enough to witness her pierced heart bathed in the blood of sunsets and tears?


Rapture seems to have abandoned her with just a broken glass of wine,

have mercy on her, bathed her in petals I say!

yet no-one hears the clamour of her voice, my voice,

there is just solitude in the streets embalmed by yellow light,

yet the hearts of those who walk persist on walking the aimless path,

the ones filled with wrath,

and she is left there,

decaying along her flowers.

THE VOICE (of faith and evil) - written by jrqc (philosophical literature - fiction)

  THE VOICE (of faith and evil) "I believe the world itself can blind you with its banal sweet-honey taste, making you forget who you truly are.

"Besides, what would you be if it wasn't for this world that you somehow have conquered and shaped to your own convenience?. This world, as you put it, has not left you out, furthermore it has complied to your wishes and whims". The soft tone of the whispering voice added. "There you are wrong! We know perfectly well that I am what I am through my God-given free will and that it is through HIS help that I have lived and experienced things out of HIS mercy s...

THE WORLD - What is lyrical prose? by jrqc

I always rely on imagery and sensory language when writing poems, short stories and whatever else I can tap my imagination and feelings with.  Lyrical prose blurs the line between prose and poetry and it is, in my humble opinion, the perfect way to make reading a sensory experience while focusing on the emotions and feelings of the character / narrator and in this way creating an atmosphere and the mood through which the story or prose is developed.  There is also a sense of musicality, since the rhythm and sounds of the words contribute to the overall effect of the writing. Simultaneously, the use of imagery is for me of utmost important in order to create that sensory experience for the reader. Just saying "Maria was tired" does not convey imagery but more of a statement. The notion of sensory imagery falls, I believe, in the concept of "show not tell" making the experience of reading richer and soulful.  Letting feelings set free, allows the narrator to express t...
