Premium Member Soul of a child
My twin was delusional, he thought he was a star He told me people recognized him, near and far Strangers gave him thumbs up, pretty women smiled Within him they saw the soul of a child. I said "Jerry, no offense, you are poor at conversation People yawn, go away, for the dialog duration You lack warmth, enthusiasm, any vital spark You're...

Premium Member Lingering
I saw you across the room and I knew I shouldn't stay But you walked up to me and said, "How've you been?" I couldn't walk away. I can't find the right words to say. You etched the scars inside of me Can't risk opening the wounds again but from loving you, I'll never be free The look in your...

Damaged Love
[Stanza 1] Suddenly, the clouds above become gray, Like a sudden sharp knife, the words you say. My heart used to beat so strong, pure, and true, Now lies destroyed under the sky so blue; [Stanza 2] My spirit just bleeds from a wound so deep, This silent loss makes my soul read and weep; I look for hints of reason I can...

My Song Revision
Original song: Jubilee Song by Jamie Rivera It's a time of joy, a time of peace A time when hearts are then set free A time to heal the wounds of division It's a time of grace, a time of hope A time of sharing the gifts we have A time to build the world that is one Revised lyrics: Jubilee Song...

Sweet Venom
I trace every move you make, I trace every note you breathe. But you're a Mozart in disguise How could I ever compete? Blind with tears and rage, I compared myself to what seemed bulletproof, All while my doubts built up inside, Forming an invisible bruise. I tried to be more like you Though I knew it was no use. I swallowed all your words, Like...

Premium Member Ruled by Trees
I beheld the quaking aspen, shaking and gold I quaked in resonance with the breeze If you're young inside, you never get cold Its recriminations that make your spirit freeze I wept beneath the weeping willow It felt like the right place to cry Under its cascades I found a pillow Had a sad feeling, didn't know why. When autumn colored I found...

The Atom Cries in Silence
Beneath the crust of Saturn's breath, Where silence swells and swallows death, A single proton-left alone- Whispers truths to shards of bone. They built a star inside a cage, Lit it young, then cursed with age, It pulsed in hearts, then burned them black, And begged the cosmos: “Take it back.” A child once dreamt of breaking light, Of feeding dark with pure insight, But...

Premium Member On My Way Home - I'm All Alone!
The road was rough, the path well-worn, My boots were dusted in what we mourn. I walked by the field we used to know, Where dreams were born, but failed to grow. A window glows behind a hill, A face I loved, maybe there still. But time's moved on, and so have we, After we fought - I lost the...
