Premium Member Yes Friend, It Will Matter
Say not to me,
that it will not matter a hundred years from now,
that I was here.
For surely I have touched one life in a positive way,
perhaps in daily prayer,
I've called your name one day.
Having no profound accomplishments or delusions of fame,
and leaving no progeny
to perpetuate...

Premium Member The Fighter
As beams through blinds half-open softly play
on mottled skin, and helpless, she depends
on doctors and on nurses, none allay
her growing agony that never ends.
 
Her dread is looming larger. She can’t rest!
She clings to life and ponders soberly
the reasons for and answers to this test.
There...

ANDREA DIETRICH
Andrea, I am a purblind parrot
I have to borrow your carrot
(Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty)
	
I’m Andrea, a visitor to earth,
And I'm a Virgo; astrologically,
Stability has ruled me since my birth.
A gentle, mellow earth girl here you see.

The placid hue her eyes...

Premium Member One Magic Night
One magical night I endeavored to reach that beautiful blue moon that 
Neptune was so enamored with.  6.7 arcminutes,  as I moved closer  in   
Electromagnetic energies drove me to the archway of the heavens 

Mesmerized by its incandescent light, I...

I’m Andrea, a visitor to earth,
and I'm a Virgo; astrologically,
stability has ruled me since my birth.
A gentle, mellow earth girl here you see.

...and heart she opened wide
The placid hue her eyes were born
A flirty blue, her eyes 
Romantic eyes, with whisper of soft lavender...

One Candle More
His mind asked his heart a question, 
"How long do you think we'll love her?"
Without hesitation or needing immunity it pounded a reply, "After the stars cease to shine, we'll light a candle and love a little more."

The mind messed around and spoke heart's truth....

Story of My Mom From Pictures
Telling tales or stories is a favourable pasttime;
But using pictures to tell stories of past and present,
Yours remind me of days back in time,
Would not be all very  recent,
Last ones of grateful recline
To golden years so sublime.
You had an cheerful smile.

Mother, telling your picture...

Premium Member The Circus Is In Town
Come join the unraveling circus
quite soon to be passing our way,
with the clowns in a clamor to twerk us -
line up as they lead us astray!

Arriving, the elephant trumpets
agendas of aberrant acts
while the donkeys drool, dunking their crumpets
and twirlers spin, twisting the facts.
 
The big...

CONGRATULATION! – CONSUELA CONTESSA SEXTON

Constant you endeavored for a greater way.
You have achieved the ultimate and you should celebrate.
However, if you are not in a partying mood,
Lay back and relaxed because it’s all good.
The status you have acquired well gleam through.
I am so proud that...

Let's Dream Together
I want it too
Just as much as you do
The ability to live and dream dreams
Of one day rising above this hatred
Whose origin we know nothing about
Same way our fathers knew nothing about
But which they endeavored to pass down
Admonishing us to do same
The reason why when...

Premium Member An Easter Vision
You suddenly appeared to me Jesus.
You were sitting in the lotus position
in your raiment of colorful robes. . .levitating.
Your wavy long locks had turned grey.
You did not speak to me, you just
looked at me with your kindest eyes
and raised a cup in my honor and
then...

Premium Member Mother, Forgive Us
Mother,
I used to walk in dark places and know that I was safe.
Because I knew that I loved you.

Mother,
I have abused my brothers and sisters.
I have contaminated your purity with murder.
I have raped your daughters.
I have kidnapped your children.
I have brought your blessed bosom to...

Hymn For Her
I
wanted
to write
a hymn
for her.
A poem
that sings
her gentle
songs.
Prose that
justifies
and ignites
her eloquence.
I've endeavored
to carefully
piece together
the 26 letters
of the alphabet.
Rearranging
these slices and
strokes to
convey my
verdadero -
my vrai
for her.
But I can't.
For her
poetic alphabet
leaves
me
on tenterhooks -
breathless
and bedazzled.
She is
a treasure.
A perfectly
cut diamond.
And
when I
close my eyes
tonight,
I will inhale her
enchanting prose.
For I know
her beautiful...
