Premium Member Floating
The people of this world are like the three butterflies in front of a candle's flame.
The first one went closer and said:I know about love.
The second one touched the flame lightly with his wings and said:
I know how love's fire can burn.
The third one threw...

Being here is like being in the womb
Of the woman who carried you in this warm
Safe pool where all your worries were how to
Move your arm, how to not get entwined in that

Floating.....
Wish I could have taken better 
Care of my body... 
Wish they could have stopped 
the cancer sooner... 

I'm just a spirit now, 
Floating over my own funeral. 

If I had my way, I'd pick another church. 
At least one that spelled my name right...

Premium Member Robotic Floating
She is opaque, at best she is vague,
living in a state of robotic floating.
She wonders if she could borrow emotion
from those whose moods are overflowing.

She feels fake, a skilled adult impostor
constantly fostering a false decorum.
Her life stirs in seasons of autumn
but her grown up has...

Premium Member Floating Shards of Dream
"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief" - Quote by - Constance La France


With the melodic cadence of my fervent heart,
pulsated the charming tinsels of the mesmeric night, 
gleamed my love for you with the enticing tinge, 
suffused with the sequins of the silver...

Black Balloons Floating By
Press and dry; stamped aneath a logo of their own design....

This colourful pigment melting upon red velvet seals

Via the telegraph wires amid these morse code keys 

Songbirds, singing their midnight songs unto me!?

Compositions notes to be transcribed from symbol sheets

Covering myself with these their, queen...

Premium Member Floating Fields
I feel the fleeting whispers of the wind
it fills my fragile wings like yellow sails
to float about these mellow marshes 
in dawn’s light
a scenic dream, setting all things right. 

Alight with life, I make my dizzy way
among the reeds
and lazily loop both high and low
to...

Premium Member Floating In Dreams
Often, I get lost in my thoughts,
   in my inglenook by my hearth-
      I unwind knots;
all need these quiet spots,
          to gather words in our mind;
   ...

Premium Member Floating Within Me
When my heart breaks in pieces
Abandoned, floating around
With drenching pain, that increases
No reasons to be found

Then waking, to a fiery sunrise
Flames burning in the morning sky
Sharing messages, positive and wise
From what I’ve learned and why

When the voice is stolen away
I will write so that I...

Premium Member Like Stardust Floating In a Dream
Does your love sometimes seems…

Like stardust floating in a dream?

So beautiful to watch, so difficult to see…

Yet you crave more of this sparkling sea....

Premium Member Embedded Hieroglyphics
Called to journey
Through the passageway of my heart
I close the door and turn
Exposing myself in full surrender

Fuzzy whiteness vibrates around me
A fleecy cocoon tickles my limbs
I feel your fingertips calling out to me
Royal turquoise butterflies appear
Leading the way onward

Dissolving light waves reveal
Frolicking foam caressing sandy...

Premium Member Drifting
The young boy woke up floating, effortlessly above
his own little, living, breathing, body
that could be clearly seen below
with his own intangible eyes,
drifting… 
as if he were a concealed cloud or Zephyr wind
suspended within
the borders of his bedroom walls. 

A sky full of galaxies and stars
were...
