Premium Member The Rose and the Thorn
I shall nay know all the wonders - you hold
For all too soon the winds of winter blow
Scarlet petals withering in the snow
How cruel the breath that kills the velvet rose 

Tears - that canst’ bear the thought of letting go
Forever frozen in this empty...

Premium Member What Am I
Who Art Thou?

Thou carriest me to distant clime, to Egypt in my mind.
I’m Cleopatra, naked. In thy folds, I solace find.
Thou art gentle, like sweet Antony. With body splayed, I lie
Upon thee in a valley, and above us is blue sky.

Those times, I come to...

Premium Member Wisdom - 2
She is more precious than rubies; and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. – Proverbs 3:15 (KJV)

A golden glow
Fell from her heart
Shadowing dreams
In inspiration and hope
Reaching beyond
This sad, dark world
Into the promise
Of a heaven above

A beautiful peace
Cast laughter...

Romeo Improv Un-Recorded
Thou lay'st like a rose on deaths pillow
Silent and still, unsoothed by lifes request
Asleep the dawns and days of all and all
Eternity. My lovely Juliet
Wherefore art thou companions company?
Dost thou mockest life? "O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath

Premium Member A Valentine From Long Ago
Mine eyes espy thy golden hair
No crown of gilded jewels more fair
Wither you go, you go with grace
Sweet one, ye who are so fair of face

I beseech you, tarry here a bit
Canst thou come and by me sit
I come to ye on bended knee
Oh, thou...

Walian Love Song
The roots of love are like the oak,
They reach beyond the heart and soul,
So deep the mind cannot revoke
Nor canst control.
In storms of life two hearts console,
So strong, they stand against the gales
Yet sip the rain from nature’s bowl,
For love prevails.
With you, my heart has...

Open Mine Eyes Lord So I May See
Oh! Open mine eyes Lord, so I may see,
Thee in all of Thy wonderous glory!***

"Once I was spiritually blinded by sin,
often I pleaded Thee about mine
habitual sins! That Thou in all of Thy
mercy and grace, would not hid Thy
face from me.***

Once I gave freely unto...

I Am For Christ
Please strengthen my testimony Lord.
Help by being my sword, shield, and reward.
Destroy that which is inside me, abhorred.
Bring me aboard, and fully furnish me restored.

As we travel across this stormy sea,
Help me bail and stop all these water leaks.
Be a motor in the back for...

"The Wind-Up Man, The Patch-Work Girl and The Remaining Time"



What do you do when your heart breaks into a million pieces?
You turn into metal, what’s left of your heart freezes.


What do you do when your world ceases?
You lock the shards of your flimsy trust behind...

Love Justice
Love, a curse or a boon
a query that has grown
there exist a lucky few
who hath tasted this feeling true

Young love likens a rosebud
pure and delicate, unshed
canst not get enough of the other
forever dying to be together
hearts thudding furious
pulse racing and curious
earnest to explore in negligence

Wilst Thou Marry Me
Fairest of the fair wilst thou be as wife
For thy breathe though lips elixir kisses 
Our future can allow me true immortal life

I see mine eyes transfix and I am lesser free
A willing prisoner of a royal court
Unto passion's spells and gazes slavery

As winds of...

Cloud 9
Get off of my cloud
In this moment I own it
At least for right now 
And do not worry
I shant let thee fall
Whereas, merely I am three feet off the ground
But, soon my hope shall be set ever higher 
Then, thou canst stay alittle while longer
Until...

Probability Analysis

O Magog,
from the sterile land of Gog,
thou rejoicest over how thy biological idol father
hast devilishly embraced thee

Spiritual mathematics 
offer free radical theorems
of probability analysis

Doth thy Gentile nuclear goggles
allow thee to see
the virtual microbe mushrooming variables
in a decaying half-life reality?

O bastard son
of a thousand fathers
Raised on...
