Pixie within the pink
Pixie within the pink let me swirl your tyranny into the high-octaved melody of my earliest endurance Right as the clock ticked to six, the creaking sound of my mother’s war cry made me bury myself under the blankets. Laying on the pretty quilted baby pink sheets as the pillow moulded to my head’s shape, opening my soul’s...

Time lost is actually time stolen
He was barely an adult when he was entered into the system He was an educated law abiding citizen But due to the fact he was black It was sympathy they lacked He faxed a lifetime of imprisonment And an impending death penalty All because he was at the wrong place at the wrong time His only crime Was being...

Ghosts of Havana: A Letter from the Other Side
I speak now, not with breath, But through the bones of history, Through palms that never bore fruit Because your embargo starved the soil. You feared not our weapons— We had none to match your bombs. You feared our ideas, Because they burned too brightly in the dark. Sixty-two winters and summers, My people have walked in chains— Not of iron, But of isolation, hunger, and...

Thank you

Premium Member Fulcrum of a Rose
Line of inquiry: track where lies the fulcrum of the fragrance of a rose, then likewise find within, your soul. Souls arrive on earth compelled to survive dramatic impacts. Each child of spirit will eventually reach for reasons to be here. Living finds the soul striving for intangible roots, tangibly real. Foundations are sought to lead, gift and...

Premium Member THE WORTH OF WORDS
I drifted as a cloud That floats above the hills And then I saw a crowd Of brilliant bluebells There blowing in the breeze Now comes burst of sunshine A sight for all to please And I am feeling fine Then soon the sun sinks low And takes the light away End of the daylight show But now comes Milky Way. ...

Our Industriously Lazy Orb
The sun wakes slow, a golden yawn, Stretching light across the dawn, Soft and warm, with rays that creep Through windowed eyes from gentle sleep. It drifts and dances, dips and hides, Plays peekaboo with clouds that glide, Bright beams spill in scattered showers, Kissing earth and blooming flowers. It tricks the colors, bends the hue, From green to gold, to deepest blue, Tickling the...
