Premium Member Death: Now Dwells
Oh, there was a past time when though my path was rough:
Joy once dallied in my heart but death now dwells-
                   like the frosty silence of a...

Now Your Love, Dwells There In Hellish And Lost Dreams

    Deep the cold at foot of our abandoned bed
    where roses wilt, praying early frost to die
    Green-eyed monster laughing loud to be fed

Wherefrom Enlightenment Dwells
To define innocence in the
countenance of a child's smile
and love's eminence in wildflowers,
conceive infinity in exalted ocean's roar
whilst summer breezes glance splendor
flourishing jasmine and hummingbirds
amidst evermore expansive sunrises,
whence space and time ceases to exist 
thereupon shall enlightenment dwell...

Premium Member Where Dwells the Heart
The mind of the human being,
Is complex at the very best.
It tries the patient heart of God,
And puts men's faith to test.

To say that we are food for thought,
Is to say the very least.
We're an endless mix of emotions,
A regular mental feast;

For the heart of...

Premium Member He Dwells In Depths I Dare Not Enter
No candy or flowers did he offer, 
something more special,
the gift of his heart, he gave 
mine already his.

I accepted his ring 
           and the love it would bring.

We exchanged wedding bands.
He took my hand,...

In Her My Love Dwells
Her eye balls gleam as bright night light
Her brow hairs, blinking black as ackee seed
Sag upon themselves
And the two curve as crescent of half moon
I mesmerize whenever she grins
And I wonder, are these teeth or diamonds?
And an utterance from her
Makes me fall into a trance
And...

Faraway My Heart Dwells
My
heart
now dwells
faraway
where my love has gone.
I am as timid as a fawn
because I have been left all alone in my sadness.
Love promises no guarantee, no forever after. We are pawns in games of chess.

Premium Member Where Spineless Weasels Dwells
I find in a godless society 
versed so to speak openly correct 
truth always becomes the first casualty aborted
 
It comes under attack with twisted views 
heartless beings cursing every good value upside down 
whom use vulgar words in order to silence the true facts...

Here, Dwells A Monster - Part I
i.
‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
My wife and son lay silent, all tucked in their beds,
Visions of demons no longer danced in my head.
My figure from the hall cast a shadow in the...

Premium Member Love Dwells In This Heart
  When little I knew the love of my parents,
       And of my big sister;
  Of my grandma and grandpa full of giving,
       I lost my sister early.

Tuaoi Stone Dwells In Silence
Tuaoi stone dwells in silence

Tuaoi stone dwells in silence
Beneath the Atlantic waves,
Director of the traffic flow,
Controller of Aeroplanes,

Valixi flew with power guidance,
 from point to point with ease,
Submarines were directed and powered,
 by this crystal fired machine,

Perhaps it doesn’t really know,
It’s work still done, unclear?
Beneath...

Where Persephone Dwells
Seeds of pomegranate 
     in my belly 

This girl wonders how much of her 
Is alive 
above ground 
Or circling Cerebus 
as he chases his tail

(If u r stuck in a dream then aren't u only half living?)

I live with eyes...

Here, Dwells A Monster - Part II
iv.
By Thanksgiving, their machinations no longer discreet,
Voices from the walls and vents, betrayed their deceit.
My family revealed as demons in flesh-and-blood guise,
Christmas Day was the day they had plotted my demise.
My nightmares more horrific, as that curséd day drew near,
Every morning, drenched in sweat, consumed...

Wherever Your spirit Dwells My Mother
I'm sorry that in our time mental illness was so carefully hidden
a Christian's cross to bear - no cure under Heaven
Until it was too late.
Hell! Now days there's a bipolar milk shake to help you get out of bed.
I'm sorry...

Her Beauty Dwells
Her beauty dwells unfettered by
Disguise, pretense or scheme
But heaven-sent as dove in flight
Majestic and serene

She shows without, what glows within
Through purpose not misplaced
The warmth and grace of summer winds
Where sadness melts away

And from her lips flow words so kind
Not earned, but just because
She looks past...
