Bones Remain Alive
Loitering around at the expense of my parents back, I too wish to be at the resemblance of hardworking thumbs, those same fingers that sewed the futile grounds back home, my mother’s yuca farm, my father's dying crops, dance taking their final waltz with the tumble- weeds in direction where my ancestors sleep while their bones continue...

Premium Member Fulcrum of a rose
Stamens and pistils delicately poised Shamans and pistols making too much noise Soft buzz preferred, a silencer’s desired Pollinator’s sense the triggers just fired Nectar brings balance agape open wide Willing the seeker to do laps inside Comes with a snag also stitch in the side Fulcrum of a rose the thorn realised My soul’s not a flower just gives...

Premium Member Life's Bounty and Purpose
What of life’s bounty will a long life ensure? What value is purpose as life we endure? Is it beauty, talent, or money we need? Is it fame or glory, or some secret creed? From the dawns early light ‘til twilight’s sunset, Which way shall I travel, which way’s my best bet? “Is all I am that which I eat”, someone...

Premium Member One of a Kind
Why be concerned with transparency People are blind, they really can’t see With distortion and illusion in the word today And bias and lies in what people say Just be who you are, one of a kind The truth will totally blow their mind They’ll be so confused trying to figure you out Their miscalculations will still leave them doubt They’ll still try...

YOU
I see you full of hope,so life filled, But I , brocken,yet to be healed, I see you, healthy,body built But I , drying,body thinned, I see you happy filled with laughter, But I ,sad all but a disaster, All hope draining, a drying flower. [ ] I see you, filled with kindness, But I , harsh like sun in wilderness, I see you,...

tiny spider climbs up my windshield so teensy, she makes a sand grain seem big I have lots of choices I could smash her with my finger or a piece of paper I could let her live Could pretend I did not see her One of thousands of choices I make each day...

Premium Member Glass seeds
Life is a starburst gift conceived in the gilded soil of angel hearts. Living on the other hand thrives in the salty eyes of swells and troughs needles woven into bike bells and ice cream cones. Living breathes to bend you into and out of its will from valley to mountain to the misty hills it bends you into...

Premium Member Universal Questions
I stand here gazing at stars in the sky, Wondering what happens when I die? It’s harder to see with my own eye, The purpose of life as it passes by. First, I’ll consider the where, when, and why? Who or what it was, that caused my goodbye? What was important, whether girl or guy? A purposeful life, or is that a...

Premium Member Life isn't fair, as we would wish it to be under the clear sky
Life isn't fair, as we would wish it to be under the clear sky, And perhaps this is the first truth that silently touches our souls. Some are born with more luck, love, or unknown riches, While others fight with every step for a fragment of peace. But that doesn't mean you're cut off from another universe, Or that you're...
