Premium Member To My Children
Drive mindfully, dear children, as you traverse hurdled highways of life,
Cognizant that adjacent to an oasis of joy, lies a desert brooding strife;
Assume charge of your chosen path, obey rules of road as you ride,
Pursuing life’s aspirations you vie, with compass of mind as your...

The Vicious Cycle
I haven’t been here in a while
At this point in my life that is.
The point where something great becomes misconstrued
more filled with angst instead of jovialness.
Shot through the heart:
Bang.
It hurts me to be here, hurts me to say this
But I would rather kill it, dissipate...

Premium Member In Realm of Love and Life
In realm of love when passions stirred
Song of romance fervent hearts heard
In tenor we knew, rhythms that woo,
Strummed by music our desires spurred.

Oh! how that realm blooms love so true
As tunes of warmth birds sing for you,
From woods that sway as soft winds blow
When moon...

Premium Member Navigating Through Life's Highway
Hurdled is life’s highway to every milestone:
Detours, traffic woes~ impediments to goal,
Perturbing in hindrances that endlessly groan 
Searching exit ramp to soothe anguished soul.

Though memories of yore, of pain bemoan, 
Benevolence of today vows to mold morrow,
Prodding fate of future~ opaque, unknown,
Defying grievous intents in...

WE WILL WALK OUR RAINS

Welcome the falling rain with a rainbow smile
dripping onto our face rippling even the sea.
Flowers and bushes mottled wet along the aisle
together in the pouring rain, running with glee!

Without a care in the world the brackens spree
and beneath the trees nesting...

A Mother - My Wings To Fly
Devoted is the word to describe
For a mother that occurred in my life
Your thoughts and feelings are transcribed
Many times you hurdled in life’s strife
 
You made yourself least priority
A selfless person is what endeared you
Until now, you still cared for us warily
The life we had...

The Day Murphy Came To Town
One day in early summer Murphy the Irishman came to town,
He rode upon a matted mule , his face was burnt and brown,
The corks that hung from his bushman's hat persuaded flies to keep away,
But his matted mule and his faithful dog were exposed to...

Said Man Lost To Hate
Said Thomas
I a hustling peddler, 
hungry mouths to feed.
Do you know what's it's like
to stare upon hunger!
especially that of a child!

Tackled and hurdled to the ground like an animal.
Silent eyes stare,
Jaws stretch down,
Lips hanging,
Air stalls, 
Hairs raised,
No cry,
No words,
just traumatizing disgust.
This a moment needs no...

Sex Sells
You asked,
“Daddy, where’d I come from?” in your cute and charming way
The time was early morning ‘bout 6 bells
Confused you looked at my reply I guess you had to bat an eye
When I turned and said, “Because my dear, sex sells”.

You sat there for a...

Premium Member The Question of Why
Tossed about through the turbulence of life,
    Confusion remains to search for a seed.
As if the eye of the hurricane seeks direction,
    Only to find no compass for its need.

Does this curious resolve weaken & wobble,
   ...

Before Promises Were Lies
Before our feet touched the ground
And love was asked to run, walk, but not fly
And it task to trust that which we could not see,
But only sense and feel
And dance without music, 
And against the channel of the wind

Before we could feel our hearts
Beat violently...

Gold Is Gold
Gold with shining yellow blaze
As if born out of golden sun rays
Precious, prestigious since ages
Gives to the hearts boiling crazes

Glitters in the crown of the kings
Gives the needy powerful wings
Looks so blameless and winning
But makes crazy hearts cunning

Its force of influence is stunning
It makes every...
