Premium Member ''Dear God, Can I Have a Moment''
 
Dear God, I know you are real busy up above,
But could I have a moment to talk to you;
Things are not so good here, we could use some love,
You sent your son for us, then to heaven he flew.

You tried God, but is seems...

Premium Member Jesus Messiah As Climate Bodhisattva
To my sisters,
and narrow-way brothers,
in Jesus Christ
as Supreme UnitingWealthyStates
sustainable legal/moral Savior

I reached U.S. voting age during the 70s.
During this time,
the Religious Right
and Republican Party Center
were about the same place;
not distinguishable,
inscrutable, perhaps.

In strong conserving defense of retail-commodified AntiChristmas,
wrapped in Fundamentally-Wrong Christian
and Way-Not-True Roman Catholic Orthodox
Never-Even-Think-About-Change-Or-Evolution as...

Re-Installing Integrity In America
Once the dream was to make America the shining light of the world 
a caring and compassionate country with opportunities for all
but after questioning the veracity of the election in America by the sham pretender since then this nation has endured the corrupt, the ugly,...

Premium Member Winter Dream
Trees bending overhead, shadows fully employed
Fish resting 'neath the surface, their camouflage enjoyed
Abundant insects frolicking, diving and skimming the stream
Predators hungrily watching, nature's bountiful cuisine

Anglers stealthily wading, with implements designed
Perilous imposters, dancing on a line
Imitation insects, alluring and derailing
The angler flicks his wrist, often times...

Premium Member Ocean Dolphins-
"Lo! the dolphin dotes laughs
My passion is the maritime coast
'Ocean!' said I, 'thing of seawater.'
Oceans dolphins 
In a kingdom full of coastlines
Eagerly I looked for the seaway
I crave the marine, more mare
That up bound jellyfish - that unbound jellyfish
I felt compelled to sniff the territorial...

Disruption
Lunch with a friend 
Conversation flows
A ring of the phone
Our talking froze

She chooses to answer
I look annoyed
Our time together
Has now been destroyed

I stare at my plate
While being ignored
Five minutes pass
I'm getting bored

Was the call business?
No, just idle chatter
Derailing the mood
For an irrelevant matter

Keeping my calm
An...

I Hope You Know I'Ll Always Love You
I am what you call a hopeless 
romantic,
But im also a lost lovers cause, my 
heart belongs to another
Yet in my head a love triangle starts 
to form, the girl I love doesn’t love 
me
She holds the heart to another and 
mine caged to the...

Guilty Conscience
Head pounding
Heart breaking
you feel that shake
the earth is quakeing
"I will stand alone"
What the hell was I thinking
Ending every chance for friendship
See all this hate I've been making
I seek forgiveness
A new quest I'm taking
But to open up and fall
The result will be devastating
I'm stuck not knowing...

The Supernova of Emptiness
Pathetic, the word I just can't seem to outrun
it beats me to alley-way exits, creating dead to ends, enclosed places
Defeated, it might as well be the twin
The effects, they refuse to cease yet love to seize me
I've made so many plans, so many plans to...

Sweet Dreams
Sweet rest falls from that haven of old
	And rainbows tie the dream-cloth shut
	And who can know what joys they hold
	In sweet derailing sleepy thoughts

	And rainbows tie the dream-cloth shut
	And who dare take to untie those knots
	In sweet derailing sleepy thoughts
	Of slender ties and diamond gold

	And...

She
Thoughts of her rob my slumber.
She burglarizes my rest.
She pervades my life,
into my dreams.
She is the locomotive
derailing my train of thought.
I have no reign over myself.
My infatuation grows daily.
In this I lose control
as I watch my heart wander....

Narrative Born From Subconscious Chaos: Manifestation
There is a moment in the night, in the shower, in the quiet, that exist in its own temporal bubble 
and you are within it, stuck like flies to tape, as if at any moment you will launch away in sporadic patterns of flight. 
Instead,...

Premium Member Paulette -2
She pirouettes at the hall of fame,
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight
As silky red wings are in glaring flame,
She pirouettes in the hall of fame
Red Swan of Night is Paulette’s name.
While audience applause from left to right,
She pirouettes at the hall of fame
Magnifying swan-silhouettes in delight.

Captivated By His Words
Captivated By His Words
By: E. C. Almonte (Apples&Eve)

A strong couple once molded cannot be separated. 
The world we live in is beautiful. 
It’s we who create these deceitful ways. 
The four layers of bright light beamed down depicted the gates of heaven,
As I hung my...
