a robin chirping near the window serves up a delicious bit of melancholy on the living room floor an air mattress quietly cajoles my sciatic nerve this place, this home, this abode the result of a thirty year 'bout with the devil at an old card table that might not survive a battered folding chair my unlikely throne ...

Premium Member Aftermath of Oz
The rubiest shoes, on display, walked yellowest bricks all the way. The emerald glows, but Dorothy knows the rainbow hues melting away. A barrel of laughs in the night. Ho hum after witchiest flight. The bump on her head does find her in bed. The monkeys with wings out of sight. The brains of a scarecrow she sees. The heart of a tinman does freeze. It does...

Silver bullets have no eyes They care not who is hit American schools where bullets fly Terrorizing the staff and kids The shooter often a kid as well This time he is a 14 year old His father arrested headed to jail How much about his child did he know The photo they splash on the tv Of a blonde haired student teen Surely a...

See Through My Eyes
See Through My Eyes by Tochi-writes. See through my eyes and get me like I do, I’m ruined by my hands yet handicapped in making mends. Abstinence was my choice but hooked on am I, Tears roll down my cheeks; eyes red from endless weeping. I’m cold turkey; my God-given strength seeps through my pores and leaves my body shattered. The...

Premium Member Aftermath of Flood
Damaging winds whip and slash, whirling wild, drenching rain, Roads decimated come to standstill, as gushing floods reign, Inundating swollen terrains, roiling deluge of a tenebrous day, As trees bowing to gusting storms; erratically waltz and sway. Houses naked with roofs blown, now ache, mangled and worn, Where loss of life, in makeshift shelter, neighbors sadly mourn; Sharing stories of a...

Premium Member The Aftermath
Meaning is over there, beyond the burnt paddocks and blackened hills, the crumpled, flattened ruins of houses. It is further out than that nothingness glazed upon the distances of a vacant stare. A powdery dust now coates the walls of a terrible absence. There is a gaping silence, a hole emptied of screams, of moans, cries given up to heaven. What was living has been burnt back...

It was the selfish men who tore the country apart, For they had no love for Lincoln nor people at heart. A line called Mason Dixon was keeping both sides apart, And in 1861, the Civil War battles began to start. In 1865, a peace mandate was finally brought in, But Black's down in the South...

The Aftermath of How We Collided
Words shatter like broken glass, Heaps of fallen glory stained by the past. Strewn about are the ashes of our disdain, in the middle of it all Love lies almost lifeless, the aftermath of our chaos is all that remains. Will my heart ever truly feel once more? A mystery that seemingly evades me like the sun on a rainy day. Why has...

Aftermath In the Garden
Orb pulsates above a secret door, proudly beaming about the find, skitters to and fro as if to etch the coordinates into a celebration of the surrounding nearby. Of the place of beginnings. Time's ancient entrance to the worlds. A runic gate to...

Aftermath
Love remains as scars on my soul Torn apart by life’s vicious twist The shape of you cuts a void in my whole Toys stare blankly frosted with dust Your hushed room sealed in time My tears are the companion I trust Kissing cold pictures and talking to the breeze Trapped in the horror of my thoughts Whilst searching for a warm memory...
