The Love That Lasted a Night
Imagine a lovely garden, tea for two, and this story . . . 

I had never seen anyone like him before in my life. We met on a Thursday... or was it a Tuesday...? It was a Tuesday. I was going to the copy machine...

Sadness Lasted Two Whole Days
And then paper went silent

leaving same sensation
again that bloody feeling of
big mountain exploding in heat inside my  armour plate

just couldn't write the words
with no love among them

their people beheaded one of mine
now trough mine borders theirs screamed for salvation
mine theirs
ours 
where did we displaced...

If Only Good Things Lasted
Summer is finally coming to an end;
Back to teachers and an old or new friend.

Leaves on the trees, are beginning to fall;
Hoping its worth the hurt after all.

Memories made, slowly fading away;
Snow covering flowers from the month of may.

Upset in the cold that a flower...

Premium Member Their Marriage Lasted 388 Days
Their marriage lasted three hundred and eighty-eight days.
This was two hundred and eight days longer than most thought it could.
I showed this number to those who had predicted six months.
Gloating a bit for I had figured it would last a bit over a year.
So many...

Premium Member Good While It Lasted-
It was good while it lasted
After the fire ultraviolet
It was good while it lasted
The grass Is Always Greener
Terrestrial arena
Boll of cotton
Hope miss- mistrusting
It was good while it lasted 
Watermelon in the lily of the valley
Ever so sadly Melancholy Humanity

While It Lasted
While It Lasted
Sharon Maria Moemise

It was just a call for attention
That continued for years by extension
The most of what was companionship
The rest got lost, I guess we let it slip.

Complacency replaced all traces of romance
Regard for one's feelings turned to ignorance
It was over almost as...

Premium Member Good While It Lasted-
It was good while it lasted
 The grass is always greener after the fire 
it was good while it lasted 
Skyscrapers touching stomach of the clouds
Winds whistling loud 
it was good while it lasted 
The early spring morning 
Bird singing,  flowers glowing 
Until...

Premium Member Love Lasted For Awhile
Fruitful with cheer
I smile from over here
She gave me a smile
Love lasted for awhile
Life is worth living
She holds my hand forgiving
I reach out to her
She closes the door
I open myself to her
She doesn’t respond, I abhor
We still carry on
As if love can create a dawn
I...

Why Has the Christmas Joy Only Lasted For One Day
The decorations on the Christmas Tree
were spectacular, all seemed a wonderland
created not only for children who love presents;
although the snow did not fall, it still looked magical...
who could have wished for a more perfect scene?

Why has the Christmas joy lasted only for one day?
The dazzling...

Premium Member It Was Good While It Lasted-
It was good while it lasted... the smell of bacon the sniff of a watermelon fresh cut morning grasses. The caressing of my lover living young then growing old together. The whims of the a newborn baby. Those the fluorescent sweet flowers daffodils, roses, tulips,...

Echoed a sound lasted, I heard, an echoed a sound lasted
My village around the borderland, estranged
Mountain from the other side, rejoiced within gray shaded area to bloom
Echoed the echo of the midnight hymn, darkened a shade, deeper fill in xanthosis, lasted beyond the yonder valley o'er the meadow, fall color blossomed then.

Echoed a sound lasted,...
