Premium Member SUNSET ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
We think we have the best of both worlds… we get to watch the sun set over the ocean… watch as into the water it slowly drops… And we also get to watch it set…into the horizon from on a mountain top. There are many things we love about sunsets… A few of them I’ll name… One is how in a lifetime...

Muse
She is a flawed woman and her flaws aren't even poetic. She's just you and me, a woman who mistakes face for truth, and wears affection like yesterday's shirt. Lost, confused, occasionally lying— That's all she is: human. A human who fears loneliness, so she invites harm just to be seen. A human who can't stand her shallowness but when she thinks, discomfort...

How innocent are the words from the mouths of cute teens, it's raw poetry dedicated to lovers in any season that inflames ardent desire! Can that burning flame endure the longest time and become brighter and hotter than a crackling fire? Nothing seems strange about being sentimental, it's the age of tender romance, somehow delusional; touching should be spontaneous, not considered sinful: we all...

A bottle of gin for every sin within lair of an evil twin The likes of a flying kite, away from gloom of this room. September's never a rest but eyes up another glass cup. A bird's breasts trembling detests the coldness of a night's icy test, a tune meant for her is a noise blur lost in the tavern and I can't have...

Ways Of Not Arriving
My mind drifts loose into the moving art framed by train window. Houses in the field glitch by— brick red roofs and windows that hold sunset across the champaign. I wonder what it’s like to live in that world, where you wake and rest with the sun. My gaze drifts to clouds light as swan feathers. Their dance—effortless, unrepentant as the sunset dyes...

Like the course of bubbling rivers Meander to the ocean's breast, Never has my journey faltered, Obsessed with where the sunset rests~ Perfection plunges to the sea... Written Jun 12, 2025 for Nette's Abecedarian Contest...

Sunset times
You whispered in my ears Best days we had together I realised It’s sunset time! All along it’s black and white In between, spread of colour I realised it’s sunset time Life! One part of the story is over As always, mine is never ending one! I realised , it’s sunset time!...
