LostAmid the fire of twilight sun
I wish I knew my way
horizon’s char and moonlight’s shun
has ashed my hope I pray
for dark cloud constellation to free
a steed for me to flee gunshot streets
for primrose to steal my jaundice
and burn the itch in roadside stars
for me to follow scent and sight
and find forsaken...

The One WithinThere is a silent visitor inside you now —
softer than fresh-baked bread,
more precious than gifts from wise men of the East.
A second heartbeat,
gently echoing beneath your own.
You carry more than a name.
You carry memories yet to be made,
a mirror of past souls,
a vessel for tomorrow’s joy.
So walk gently,
eat wisely,
rest fully.
That bottle of cider —
it whispers...

Intensive
can you hear the intensity
Mr freeze step aside
I have flies and they are my new friends
The crackle of the snow,whip and blow
The cackle of the crow,the man taking the dough
The crackle of the soap
Left until your laundries done
The night of a moon And a cow
The red rooster cocks
And the people come
Forgetting their...

Grave DiggerCan't get you to understand.
I already know your kind.
You're really blind.
Maybe, a sign,
to you, will be given.
To make you change,
your way of living.
I'm through with always giving.
It's only your grave,
that you're digging....

Drug That Heal Wounded GraceGrace is a free gift
That cover up all drifts
Even in its own shift
It troubles logical thefts
Truly, in problems, it seems there is no grace
Or you think many are out of space
May be its remains are of trace
Meant for those who set the pace
Working grace is for all
Just that many don't listen to its...

HeroinNeedle in his veins is deep into his skin, while blood's drowning in heroin
Lifeless eyes blink, but they don't see anything wrong with all of that is going on, even though they know what exactly is killing him slowly
Dark clothing won't hide his sharp-to-the-core bones anymore
He was left alone, lying on the floor with spiders...

High-Minded
Smoking toking you must be joking
it's a bust I just don't need an altered sense
of time and space or on choking
a mind-numbing feeling of euphoria
as I am happy as a clam
(thank you ma'am)
for as you two while under the influence
of lethargy-inducing external stimuli
proceeded in search of smokeable weed
a.k.a., a whole lot of pot
a joint venture...

Loss Sustained
When friends suggested, “Try cocaine!”
Mike’s “No” would reckon choice.
His mom ignored this new campaign;
rebuff became Mike’s voice.
Having seen what crack does to his mom,
Mike felt no peer sway, but still stayed
stranger to the world of common...

Shadows of a City Gone Wrong
Written: June 23, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Anthony Biaanco
*******************
Growling, arguing, cursing, and screams,
They nod to chase after a dollar, a dream.
Trapped in clichés, similar to urban swine,
Lost residents of the suburbs stand in line. ...

He sat on the corner his back quite bent,
each dollar he collected, he quickly spent.
His sign’s report,
He needed support,
His get up and go had got up and went.

THAT BOYHe sits by the junction
scraped knuckles, half a smile
a boy with more scars than years
each one a story no one asks to hear.
I saw the truth in his trembling vow
heard the break in his voice
when he said he’d left Kush behind
but all they saw was yesterday's face.
He carried hope in both hands
knocked on doors he...

One Real Encounter And You'll Never ForgetSmile world things will be okay.
God is everywhere, everyday.
Set aside for Him a special time.
To focus on Him only with your mind.
Imagine Him there within your room.
Awareness of his presence should begin soon.
Raise your arms upward like a little child.
Wanting Daddy to hold you for a while.
When His presence moves close you'll know.
For me rivers...

Bubble burstIf you want
To go out
Have a drink
Shake a leg
Take a bet
Take a chance
Win or lose
Have a dance
I don't really care
I don't care
All that much
Come and go
it - so?
Have a run
Getting fit
I don't really

What do you want
Do you know
Please yourself
Let it - go
Take a risk
Feet first
Jump right in
Bubble - burst
If you think about, how...

Journey On The Edge IIWhen I was 16 my face suddenly froze,
As I passed out in my friend's arms,
I was laying there, face turned rose.
I awakened, memoryless, then recall harms.
When I was 23 I was very far,
But I wasn't alone as I kept on twitching,
She saved me while my spirit was afar;
Soon I flew back to my body, waking.
When...
