Along came a hoopoe once again
Everyone loves him. A nice amicable guy, as he is no relative, he is no refrain. He starts within a rhythm when often a melody is surreal and soars along the flight of the song, up high, high above, where God knows everything about eternal time, beyond the worldly cacophony and hustle and bustle....

Premium Member Why should we start to command our souls just as David once did
According to John Barnett, our souls are controlled by our sinful fleshly desires. Left to their own devices they are double-minded and filled with doubt and dis- couragement. Therefore, we need to follow David's excellent example, and let him both teach and instruct us how to speak to and command our own souls. In order for them they to...

Premium Member ONCE AGAIN
ONCE AGAIN Once again, we cry; Again, a nation apart. Our togetherness has run dry, Whitered like a broken heart. Division kisses oneness goodbye, And once more and again, we cry. Greatness is in being together; Together, no matter the weather:- Once again, we must sow onement; Reaping a oneness that is God sent. ...

Once a whale
Once a whale spent a day at the beach, eating one too many pies of peach. Became bloated in the sun, to a weight over a tonne, now has an itch she can't bend to reach...

Premium Member I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more
I extend my hand across the waters, to feel your warmth and sweet fragrance once more, To kiss your hand, to pass the burn of my lips kept from times long past, When moments scattered and became a past that left us still dreaming, And if I could hold you in my arms again, to feel your cheek...

Premium Member I once lost my thought on the paths of time, like a wandering cloud in the ever-changing sky
I once lost my thought on the paths of time, like a wandering cloud in the ever-changing sky, but I found it chained between the pages of a memory, where moments weave garments of longing, on the road of life, I wandered with my heart full of desires burning like stars in the deep night, and in the...

The voice I once forgot was mine
I was married, but to me, it wasn’t marriage. It was poverty-induced— a fate sealed by hunger and silence. I was an orphan, taken in by my mother’s brother— the uncle who accepted that I could live with him. But he was abusive, an emotional robber. He broke the seal of my womanhood when I was just into the third of the teenage years. Long story short— he...

Premium Member Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night
Love was once a wild fire, a living flame igniting every touch with the brightness of night, We spoke in warmth, in whispered desires, with hearts beating wildly and hands tracing the fire’s path, But love is not meant to remain a flame, not a spark that burns and flickers always the same, It softens, deepens, learns to...

Premium Member The House That Heard Us Once
Thee crumbling walls can’t hear my song, Though once they rang with joy and cries— Now silence stays the whole day long. My sisters’ love, both soft and strong, Lit up the dusk like fireflies. The crumbling walls can’t hear my song. My brothers helped me along, With quiet nods and whispered wise— Now silence...

A girl once
She wore perfume that smelled like a Sunday lie, And lips like rusted knives— A woman like that don’t settle, She just wanders through men’s lives. I gave her my keys and my winter coat, She gave me a goodbye note, Hidden within a half-full bottle And a half-finished murder quote. She was last seen...

Once Upon a Time in America
(A Prophecy of Collapse) Once upon a time, beneath stars and stripes, Stood a colossus—loud, armed, and blind to its blight. It roared not with wisdom but with greed and might, Casting shadows across oceans, in day and night. Its streets were paved with silence, not gold, Citizens numbed, liberty bought and sold. The media fed illusions, thick and sweet, While justice begged...

Premium Member Petals, Once Velvet to My Touch
I woke long before he did, quietly slipped from his side and donned his warm woolen robe. As difficult as 'twas to leave him, to have awakened him— I'd never have been able to leave his bed. This morning, what I sought was not his heart to please, but what I saw in a dream that held me captive until I woke. And now, I had...

Premium Member Once Upon a Time
Len’s Story Once upon a time I said we should wed Your pretty face blushed as you whispered “yes” Love for eternity, I promised this For fifty years we shared married life bliss. Ours was a perfect match, made in heaven Gift wrapped in love of the purest essence Every moment, minute and every hour Magnificent as a bloom in flower. It’s lonely...
