Premium Member One Night Cut Short In a Haunted Manor
My car ran out of gas. I found myself
alone and walking down an unknown road.
I looked to find a house where I might stop
to call someone and then get my car towed.

The first house I could find was very big.
It was a manor, but it...

Cut Short By A Car Alarm
What do you romanticize when there is no beauty left?

There are no ponds to sit beside

There are no trees for me to write beneath

I haven't heard a bird sing to me in what feels like a decade

The light pollution has clouded my eyes and I'm...

A Life Cut Short
A life cut short in an instant.
Gunned down without a reason.
One lost love of a family.
One lost friend of many.
Never hated always loved.
Cheered up all she knew.
Had a big impact on so many lives.
A life cut short in an instant.
Gunned down without a reason.
Never to...

A Love Story Cut Short
Wandering upon the Sandy shores of the ocean,
Deeply in thoughts and anticipating a bright horizon,
I think of my love.
She molds my heart with peace,
She adorns my face with smiles,
That I can only glide,
The waves tossed and turn,
On my skin the sun burns,
But all I feel...

Premium Member An Evening Walk Cut Short
Autumn sky glows yellow against blue hue sky;
turns windy, rainy a long languorous day.
Swirls of fresh intoxicating aria.

midmorning showers 
rootless lingering rainbow~
scent of petrichor

Outdoors allure afresh, stunning once again.
Sun kissed fragrant richer fruitful harvest fields.
Woods once rich with leaves fall round and round with wings.

Night Cut Short
Has one saved me
From the past pollution
A slight ingrate in a complicated world
The spell still lingers
But is it so potent, 
The summer I was formed into my being,
So now come hear
What I have here to say
Conform Death as king and he will grant you
One single...

Premium Member Director's Cut Short
Come and see
me without you:
A series of unfortunate events
stand by me
for better or worse.
Four weddings and a funeral
snatch
the neverending story,
where the wild things are
enchanted.
The vanishing,
living in oblivion,
scream
into the wild
field of dreams.
Racing stripes,
dressed to kill
the departed
return to Neverland,
dazed and confused,
missing
stardust.

(Each separate line is a movie title.)...

To Fall When Time Is Cut Short
Life is a silly thought sometimes,
Leading you on a leash,
proding you with jokes and teases,
Some worse than others.
Its funny how we don't take in mind how thin the leash is,
How worn the tethers are,
How quickly it could all come to end.
Life is like an eternal...

Cut Short
On a coffin a single rose
All in all no one knows
How much she hurt
How far he went
Why she was forever bent
Why her wrists were always red
Until the day she was finally dead...

A Happy Childhood Cut Short
Riddled with guilt, riddled with bullets
For crimes committed, societal crimes
The fate of the unwashed masses grasped
The Oliver Twisted twist of the sullied poor
The man who never became a man but a boy
The guilt of being born in the first place
Weighs heavier than the bullets in...
