Premium Member A Granny Refuses to Age

Life is plainly, totally, undeniably, unfair!
Looking in the mirror I screamed, “who stole most of my hair?”
I was never Rapunzel, a svelte heroine, locked in a tower,
But who dare turned me into Quasimoto’s twin, short and dower?

How can I go dancing with my silver amour,...

Premium Member The Sea Refuses No River
I learn how to hide my feeling well
I know how to play the game
It start with a genuine smile
 pearly whites and good body posture
I learn to hide my feeling well

Mother Nature taught me how to
She gave us the warmth of her son
And the scorn...

Even If the Sun Refuses To Shine
Verse 1:
What’s the point of promises if they end up broken?
My heart is racing over the fact that you’re gone away
Can someone show me how to shake away the tension?
I don’t want to keep on walking away from this dismay
This dismay that grows endlessly like...

The Rose Refuses To Discharge Its Scent This Year
Petals closed,
Pale colour,
Bending leaves,
Bound roots,
This season is not like others,
The drought, the cracking earth,
The war, the calamity,
Had all contributed to its sadness,
Others are even worse,
Pele-mêle,
Here and there,
Lying on the ground,
As though they had aggressively been,
De-rooted, cut off from their earthly warmth,
And suddenly an unexpected storm,
Poured...

Premium Member A Heart Refuses To Heal
A heart refuses to heal...

What can I do?
I have tried for years.
How to get through?
So many tears.

A heart refuses to heal...

I have pleaded my case.
Hoping to move on.
Too long in one place.
I should already be gone.

A heart refuses to heal...

My soul, seeking to help me.
Supporting...

A Love That Refuses To Go
If you listen carefully
You hear affection’s resounding echoes
And the heart hastens trade winds
into a faint gasp
Each side of the gasp lives a silent prayer
And a love that refuses to go
Eyes closed
The body quakes an anxious craving
into a lump
But defiance
splits each instance of the urge
into two...

Premium Member Python Refuses To Share Lunch
little coil
shiver and shake
tiny squeeze
squeak
tah dah tah dah

anaconda arrives
need any help? she asks
python hisses a warning
constricting a bit tighter

louder squeak, then silence
dinner’s eyes pop out

python smiles
not about to
share her
lunch
anaconda 
slithers away...

Trump Refuses To Contribute Horn Limerick

Trump is stingy and refuses to contribute
Single dime and lacks having an attribute;
Psychotic for sure;
Is no known cure;
His body and brain belong in an institute.

Premium Member Man is the only creature that refuses to be what it is
Man is the only creature that refuses to be what it is,
An immortal soul trapped in mortal flesh, a dreamer wandering through unknown realms,
Searching for hidden treasures and uncharted miracles under the starry sky of its destiny.
He bears the burden of consciousness like a heavy...

Your blood is ninety percent water

Even Dracula has refused it

Premium Member In folds of silence, I delve deep, losing myself in the shadow of a day that refuses dusk
In folds of silence, I delve deep, losing myself in the shadow of a day that refuses dusk,  
Where halves find no place, and words are gold coins,  
Heavy and whole, without concealment, without shadows slipping between truths.  

When I choose to...

Window
I stare out the window and see that there is no longer rain
But the dark black clouds have not gone anywhere, they remain
I wonder why I still look out the window; it just brings me to tears
I should accept that it is over because it...

Premium Member What You Done
What You Done

If it were you;
the thought of you refuses to leave.
Your thinking stains me; 
there's more here than you believe?

You have created something unique;
but so cruel at times, too!

I have to say that I believe,
admiring your leadership,
what you do to provide! 

You're worthy by...
