Unrequited Love
While transient love is all I yearn for now,
A state of panic engulfs as I imagine.
When my life takes a decisive turn
Hair white, wrinkled face and lack of sin. 

Will I see shadows of myself?
Will my contagious grime enthuse my sons?
Have I discovered my faults...

I'M Late
OH NO! I'm late this can't be true
Where's my skirt and my other shoe!

I heard the alarm just once or twice
"WHERES THE KIDS??" Be patient, be nice!

I hate to see my bosses frown
Maybe I'll say the flu's going round

NO, I can make it there's just...

The Right Man - Collaboration
Prince of no state
But of my heart 
Reader of the stars
Interpreter of  my eyes
Someone just like me
Will enter my life
Not late, but very soon
And together we will build 
A palace on the top
Of that lush green mountain 
Our Kingdom will be named Eden
And we...

All my earning to the poor I would give.

And share God's love with every girl & boy.

Premium Member I Knew Anne Silently - My Ravenous Poe
**Trigger Warning**



"I Knew Anne Silently - My Ravenous Poe" 

I knew Anne.
you’d think 
with a name like hers
she’d be able to find her way 
out of unchartered waters.

it didn’t come as a suprise, 
then, on second thoughts, much later,
that she would write a poem for...

The Sea Level Is Rising
The Sea Level Is Rising

By Elton Camp

Back in the 1950s when I was a child
That sea level would rise seemed wild

Even those who thought that it might
Centuries into the future set that fright

It was only a concern for some distant day
But the reality has already...

Railway Journeys - the Train Ride Home
I have my ticket for the train that's to come.
I packed my bags just before dawn.
I hear the train as it's whistle blows
lots of people here with places to go.
I stood on the deck of the station's gate
smiling because for this trip, I'm not late.

Sweet As Chocolate
It is not about your age
Or your sign 
How you make me to feel fine
My sweet dear lovely beautiful

Sunshine 
It's not about your body
Or if guitar is your hobby 
If you're waiting at the lobby

Or if we drink 
and we get groggy 
It's not about...

Squeeze My Lemon
I'm heading home -  I have a date    
Chills play my spine - I pass my gate

This Town, This Time
In this time , this town, you'd grow
In this town, this time, you'll feel at home
your poor plenty more than rich enough
to crack the faultline,
your cup half full, half overflowing.

You stretch your legs and wings and mind and laugh
Find friends too easily,
and hand frayed throw...
