Premium Member It was true that I didn't have much ambition, but there should be a place for those without wings
It was true that I didn't have much ambition, but there should be a place for those without wings, a better place than the usual one, where dreams flow like rivers at dusk, how could anyone enjoy being woken up at 6:30 in the morning by an unrelenting clock, to jump out of bed like a puppet pulled...

My Brother's Keeper
Am I my brother’s keeper? Well…in a way I keep your secrets in a chamber of my heart I keep your confidences hidden behind the lids of my eyes I keep your skeletons locked in the cupboard of my mind I keep your insecurities safe in a bag of many tears you’ve cried I keep your hopes in a jar with...

Anaconda's Aerial Ambition Abridged
An anaconda, Arthur, so wide, Tried to join a tightrope, and sighed. He wobbled and swayed, Then simply just stayed, "That's not balance," he hissed, "I've been lied!" ©bfa032225 ...

Greatness? No, Thanks
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V Some are born to crowns and gold, With power strong and wealth untold. Some will climb, with sweat and pain, To carve their names and stake their claim. And then there’s me—a simple bloke, Who’d rather nap than wear a cloak. Greatness...

The Weight of Heights
They called him a child of the sky, a storm-born spark, a rising sun His steps were light, his hands were quick, he climbed before he learned to run The world below had sung his name, its voices laced with awe and might You’ll reach the peak they whispered low, where all the stars align in light He climbed through fire, through fractured...

In Another Life
In another life, I was a poet just as I am now. I have no idea when I started writing or how. The ambition to motivate has always been with me. I never hesitate to motivate and lift humanity to a higher degree ...

Insanity
Morning glory, The mountains stand in brown nudity, There's no shame in being mighty echoes the wind, The air is taut with the brooding silence of a storm, It will rain tears sooner or later, And the roar of affliction will cut through the silence, The rage of war will be a din, Churning cataracts of unceasing wants, Our hunger refuses to be...

Ambition
Greedy for affection Such is a sin Keep still Stay satisfied With remnants of love A heart that yearns Seldom leads to rejoice Stay put Keep complacent Contentment is no affliction Know that your desires shall never come to fruition...

Premium Member Victory Is Overrated
They call it a race, but it feels more like a circus— tightropes stretched over flames, clowns tripping over their own pride, while I, in my worn sneakers, stroll past their delicate egos. Let them shout. Their speed is a gunshot— all noise, no aim. I’ve got the calm of a bassline, the steady rhythm of knowing that slow doesn’t mean weak. Victory? It’s a cheap bottle...

The Burden of Dreams
A man with dreams, so bright and grand, Sought capital from a bank's cold hand. He borrowed much, with hope so high, Bet his house, beneath the sky. The bank’s burden, a weight unseen, He turned to cheer in a bar’s dim sheen. With borrowed funds, he drank his fill, A fleeting joy, but fate’s cruel thrill. A girl beside, with eyes that...

Premium Member Ambition - in Kamalas own words
What if I can see it, smell it, almost touch it, That gilded throne where I will proudly sit, Would people think me mad, Is my ambition so preposterous and bad. And why not me, have I not earned this crown, Someone not worthy of that queenly gown, Bejeweled and composed for all to see, My vassals all around, bowing deep to...
