Premium Member Summer At a Riverbank
Summer arrives in golden light, Mountains shed their snowy white. The river moves with joyful gleam, Shining bright in the sun’s beam. Through rocky beds, she winds with ease, Nourishing earth in tender peace. Quenching the thirst of Pines and Firs, Thriving the bushes around her shore. Seasons shift, and colors grow, Tree tips shimmer, blossoms show. Daisies dance in meadows wide, Sweet peas bloom with...

Premium Member ADRIFT AT SEA
ADRIFT AT SEA sea-worn bottle, bobs on a digital tide. inside, not parchment brittle with ocean’s brine, but luminous lines of light, coded in metaphors and rhyme. message tossed into the sea. unknown sender, no harbor designated, no destination on any map. it drifts, an abandoned, forlorn vessel, across oceans of indifference, until… a seacoast appears, unsummoned, unexpected. my eyes, the sand. my mind, the beach. I pick it up, this delicate...

Premium Member I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe
I was a teenager, standing at the gate of a dream universe, dressed in a white dress, flowing like rivers of milk from fairy tales, watching how the sky melts like summer ice cream and lets its pearls fall, whispering as if the soul of the world would listen to its quiet and melancholic song. I remember that day...

Premium Member Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
It begins with a sky-split cry— a blade of wind slicing the stillness, gulls scattering like torn pages as the sea holds its breath. Then comes the first thunderstroke, not from clouds, but from below— the ocean remembering its anger. The sea begins to speak in tongues— lightning dances across the waves. The ocean surges, climbs the wind, rising in spiraled towers of spray— a mind...

Truth At Heart
Whom am I in the endless plot of fate? Your perfect perfection used as bait. Whom am I to reject perfection’s grace, Amidst my turmoil in karma’s embrace. I sought not, yet there you stood, A calm in my storm, I never understood. You were the answer to my whispers unheard, A soft light to which my shadow was led. An eternity I...

The first moment that we met I couldn't believe my eyes The woman standing before me Was a sweet and elegant surprise Her beauty was beyond amazing And her smile was so bright It was at this moment that I knew I had fallen in love at first sight Her eyes the pinnacle of vividness That...

Premium Member At Golden Dawn
At golden dawn of hazy sun the front of gilded river glows. The swan opens its wings for fun at golden dawn. The span of white makes flying pose, ready to soar, waiting for none, as the morning mist the breeze blows. While under the bridge waters run, the sole swan will fly to get close to sky where sun’s show has begun at...

What the Sun Says at Dawn
You think I rise because the sky asks? No—I burn because I choose to. Watch how I gild the broken fences, how I enter every window uninvited, how I turn the puddle into a mirror before it remembers it’s supposed to evaporate. They call me constant, but I’m always changing: a slow explosion, a practiced rebellion, lighting the world like a match struck against...

Open Swim at Six See many arms, like shark fins, in pool lanes. In laps, dusting off dark, The shiver starts on their mark. Young stars heading for the lark. ...

The theater at the end of the world
The red curtains lift and the day begins The sun steps up, introducing herself Most of us don’t dare to look at her directly a whispering wind enters declaring that the world is ending today In this abandoned theatre The last place humans are We sit enjoying the play with a glorious farewell performance from...

They laughed at our pain
A circus act A puppet A clown When you think of these you think of a Performance Or even entertainment You think of Comedy You think of Jokes You think of Laughter So what happens When you become the butt of the joke Where they are not laughing with you But at you Not because you're funny But because of what's being done to you Oh you don't know Well...

I Am A Florida Black Man Lynched For Looking At A White Woman
they said it was the sun, but it was her eyes— blue like drowning, and I looked. I didn’t whistle, I didn’t speak, just looked. they dragged me out like a busted dog from a hot porch, shouting things even the devil would blush at. the rope was older than the tree, and the hate older than that. tell her I forgive her— but never them. ...

Premium Member At the Grocery Store
Five items in my shopping cart. Pull into the line for fifteen items or less. One customer ahead of me. Middle-aged woman with twenty items arguing with the clerk. I have an appointment in half an hour. “Lady, you have too many items!” If looks could kill, she’d be dead. ...
