Premium Member Shadows Cling To Me
great cyclops of fire
you who keeps the horizon
far out of my reach
no closer than yesterday
not nearer me tomorrow

a symbol of hope
I find no truth in those words
you leave me each night
drowning yourself in the sea
leaving me cold and alone

in chill of darkness
no refuge from my...

Premium Member You Cling To Hope
Unrequited love is shallow;
lacking depth, it cannot float dreams.
Yet, you will forego happiness
for a lifetime of silent screams.

Both tormentor and destroyer,
doubt devastates your sense of pride.
A heart that craves a love denied
will wilt and slowly die inside.

Wishes attack reality;
striking with irrational force.
Unattainable dreams fuel
frustration, anger,...

Premium Member Cling To God
It’s when 
the gardener tends 
the orchids
One observes the fact
That
They cling on to greater trees
Like children 
much rely on their parents…
These gain 
their sustenance 
out of august trees.
This is the same with
Climbers and creepers as well…
Do human beings cling to God
And get oriented?

Premium Member Yet I Cling
Blue
twinges 
of lament
cast gaunt shadow
o’er my dreadful  pang
as a grim mist segued
into dark claustrophobic 
cantons where rabid zeal of hearts
once smouldered from magma’s deep red vein
Yet I cling to golden dawn recall 
of lazy strolls in lush green mead  
wild sniff of purple...

Premium Member Cling On
Those wide mahogany eyes, 
I cannot help but cling to, 
like goosegrass clings on,
too dear, may I hang out here?
just for a little while longer,
you know it’s freezing outside,
and I already seem to miss,
the crescent of your smile.

Cling To That Hope
CLING TO THAT HOPE

Though you may never understand the reason for this trial,
Why suddenly your world caved in and took away your smile,
You still can reach out to the Lord, and He can help you cope,
So place your burden at His feet and cling now...

Premium Member Cling
a brown and curling maple leave hangs suspended mid-air
in the clearing by the lake, transfixed by the view and kindness 
woven within the web it watches the rain fall

within the transparent lace-like web, it curls inward
its only movement seems a solemn gesture of reverence
with its...

Premium Member Cling
To cleave to cling
To hold to one thing
To follow to stay
Not go astray

To have to hold 
To do what is told
To stick to one thing
Not just wear a ring

To feed and pray
To see everyday
To live in faith
Not remember mistakes

To love to cherish
Till one should perish
To...

Premium Member I Cling To Hope
I've been caught in tempest winds 
with hurricane strength, they have blown
I've been guilty of committing many sins
and poor seeds, sometimes, I have sown.

I've worn a diamond on my left hand
and took it off when my marriage ended.
A symbol of love was my wedding band,
thrown...

Premium Member The Cold Cling of Spring
THE COLD CLING OF SPRING

Pretty petals ferociously fall as Spring releases its fury.
Blooming cherry blossoms in disarray, decry a disaster.

Rosebuds refuse to unfurl like a flummoxed fist of stubbornness.
Like moray eels, the moss morphs into a menacing hue,

as blackened clouds crowd out the signs of...

Premium Member To which Image should we cling
mirror tells lies when it looks back at you,
image shown is which you already knew,
does not show your thoughts, wisdom, or feelings,
image not truth, however appealing.

the body you inhabit is your dorm,
your name is tag for the physical form,
the self is seeker searching for answers,
search...

Premium Member Cling To This Wood
In silence, a gaze skyward,
   Where a myriad toppling
      Glitters of sun dusts dance.
   Behind clutch of hands,
  Or is it bark, befuddled.
Head resting, obliterated words,

Come!         ...
