Premium Member Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time
Without her, life is like a song without notes in the breeze of time, I dream dreams that shine in someone else's eyes, stars seeking their sky, She was perfect, like a divine painting in the colors of sunset, I, just a fleeting moment, a rustle of leaves in the wind, timeless. It wasn't her fault, no shadow of...

CRAZY NIGHT
It's a ghost she screamed Then she fainted But no darling It was the spirit she drank She's so high Hennessy to be precise Her vision was blurry. Now she's unconscious Right in my bedroom She drank to stupor The DJ overwhelmed her I have no clue, what to do I've poured her water But she wants a kiss She said; my kisses is the water of...

Life after death
Death strikes with its wicked grin, Deep grief and sorrow it brings, Flights to heaven then begin, When our souls fly without wings, Each saint bears a halo ring, They reign there as queens and kings, With Angels near a calm spring.

Premium Member Wile E Coyote Raises His Hand
I have a question (if you'll allow). How is it that I came to this place now? My life's path continued to where below my feet there is only air; and, the sad thing is, I cannot fly. At this point, I guess I'll have to try....

Fixable
Some things are fixable; Others are not. If it’s the first, Give it all that you’ve got. If it’s the latter, It’s better to ditch it. Purchase a new one And then you can switch it. Certain relationships Might be the same. Some can’t be fixed Even if you are game. There’s only so much, When things break, you can do. Then it’s time to give up And...

Premium Member Our Soul's Intent

So driven to divine heights, able to achieve so much. Our questions to act, notions, where temptation rose. Ulterior motives ridicule the integrity...

Will the Time Ever Come?
I work each day in peaceful chaos, A tireless race where I wear my fatigue like a badge of honour. Sleep? A stranger I rarely greet. I chase knowledge like tomorrow won’t let me try again— Straining past my limits, just to say “I’ve done my best.” I push beyond what’s humanly possible, Only to fall short of a dream...

Premium Member advice from Uncle Kurt
you can be considerate and kind or snarly and mean choices every day that are quickly made and rapidly seen.
