Always the slave of
Yes, master, I will throw away all emotions and abandon all sorts of love. I will bury all thoughts that soften the mind and banish my tears to the clouds above. I will cut out my heart to win and win, that is what we need to be, always, the slave of. (26.04.2025)...

The Hollow City
(The Hollow City Cycle include: The Hollow City I Remember You -- the city speaks Last One Left) No footsteps echo on broken stone, only wind dragging secrets through dust. The city sighs— its breath made of ivy and rust. Windows gape like hollow eyes, watching nothing, remembering everything. A carousel groans beneath twisted vines, still waiting for laughter that will never return. Billboards fade into ghost stories. Sidewalks...

The Preemptive No
Before you ask The answer is no I will never surrender courage For a place of defeat and storage I will not abandon faith For a worthless attachment to an uncertain estate I refuse to relinquish love For a well-fitted but counterfeit glove I cannot renounce my goal For a destination that ambushes my true role I will not forsake confidence For a river that runs...

Leatherback Turtle
I. The night was as thick as melted asphalt when her prehistoric form emerged like a monument in the sand and each egg that descended spiked the air with the scent of birth, sweet, pungent, and female. Drunk with labor, she could not sense the mass of people that surrounded her, the eggs that slid through her rubbery body, or perhaps the knowledge that, in minutes, she would abandon...

Loving me includes a two-for-one, challenging package because I love and care for my grown, special-needs son. He said his love’s sincerity held my son in its reality. Loving him revealed my heart’s innate, soulmate measure, and the tenderness two honed hearts can lovingly render. Happiness surged and rose through my flesh, blood and bones. Call me old-fashioned, but after decades...

The echo returns not
Alone, I stand till pain returns; The ocean’s waves rise near. Its roaring drowns the world outside, Yet cannot quell my tear. Each day, my pain revives anew~ Afraid, alone, and lost. The street, my home, my only friend, A life devoid of cost. My childhood swept away by winds; Its echoes sound no more. From deep within, regret still burns, An ember at my core. The...

Premium Member Family Don't Abandon Family
Like a whirlwind on a wild, untamed ride/ Life threw you twists, and poor choices arrived/ But hatred? No, it finds no home in me/ For love stands stronger, vast as the sea/ Your divine light, though it flickers dim/ Still shines in the shadows, steadfast within/ Family don't abandon, no matter the trial/ Through storms and sorrow, we'll walk each mile/ We...

Abandon
Abandon... The wind whispers through hollow streets, a voice of sorrow, a breath of loss, ghosts of footsteps long since crossed. Abandon... Walls crumble, forgotten and worn, echoing laughter that once rang bright, now devoured by endless night. Abandon... Shadows stretch with hungry hands, claiming all that lingers still, devouring warmth, devouring will. Abandon... The silence hums a mournful tune, soft as dust upon the air, a requiem for those...

An etched novel Of love and tear Running breathless I hide in fear Oh my abandon Thy bell Tolls for thee Where death comes quickly And love slips away They say that that truth shall always prevail In fagmented pieces A puzzle to reveal I peer high above Soft curious devour As she sits on hear throne My distant Spring flower ...

Premium Member Never Abandon Stellar Ambitions
Whoosh. Whoosh. A fire beneath steel, The engines burn, the heavens kneel. Thrum. The pulse of courage, the beating heart, Each mission a daring work of art. Seven names on Challenger’s sky, They rose with dreams, they dared to fly. Crack. Pop. Boom. The frost betrayed, A cloud of grief where hope once stayed. Seven more on Columbia’s flame, Mach fifteen carried their names. Hiss. The breach unseen, the...

Premium Member I Miss You
How much I miss you/ Words can not explain/ You're so far away from me/ I have to close my eyes/ And reach into my mind/ To bring you forth/ To wrap my arms around you/ To show you how much I miss you/ Life makes me lonely/ I truly miss you/ Everytime I see your face/ The sun shines down on me/ Which makes me/ Miss you...

Betrayal
Once again they lie, Once again, they spin their tale, My instincts whispered long ago. Underestimated, as always, it sails, Through currents of pretense they choose to throw. They undermine, as though it's blind, Do they think It doesn't understand? A child's mind, they seem to find, Easy prey...

Retreat in the Woods
Awaken with the break of a tangerine dawn bathing you in its Crimson sacredness ! Meditate with the majestic Pine trees Towering the skies Transcending the temporal ! Dance among the wild poppies and lupines Reveling in your freedom and aliveness! Like Robins and Jays Singing Life's joyous melodies Live with abandon, moment to moment ! Blend...

I did not want to walk away I did not want to leave you On the contrary, I wanted to hug you Before leaving. I did not want to flee from you I did not want to abandon you Even though you pushed me away Before leaving. I wanted to be with you until the end of spring I wanted to sleep with you,...
