Premium Member My Will To Survive
I was only a child, when I learned there is good and evil in the world
Extensive trauma and threats were put upon me by many people
Silenced with my voice stolen, unable to speak without being hurt more
I watched death at the hands of these people,...

Where have you been my love

Did the hours slip from the pools of your thoughts
To go wandering heights in vacant skies

Did they capture their images on high
As you floated through the siphoned mist of your dreams

I stood on the golden rim

Where comes this shimmer...

What If
Hey people why you listen to the people that don’t matter. You all get mad when the talk 
sh&t and when they put you down. Why do you think they continue to do it? It is because

Life
The unrealistic acts we put on to manipulate one another, living and sleeping with active minds. The act of evil smelling over the surrounding, guilt brightly sparkling on our visages without pardon we step on one another. Our beautiful, merry and precious planet loosing its...

Premium Member Dragon Slayer
Once upon a time, a bold knight started his quest
That led him to the fearsome beast's enclave,
Radiant  in an armor of courage shining like gold
Where the Dragon roared from disturbed sleep,
As vile creature spewed blasts of heated flame,
Unsettling the master's gait   ...

Growing Up the Past Runs Deep
GROWING UP THE PAST RUNS DEEP

Growing up in the village..
days before electricity arrived
when i used a kerosin lamp..
as i browsed through volumes..
volumes of literature..

Till my eyes would turn dry..
and i would feel dizzy...
for not changing my reading poster
screaming nerves accussing mi..
i stood accussed of abuse
by...

When Your Friends Hurt You
*When Your Friends Hurt You*

I was walking along a serine meadow and along came a bee. He buzzed along so merrily. He enticed me to show him the way to the most beautiful stream. I was filled with contentment and I thought so was he....

Fairy Tales Gone Askew
It all started when Sleeping Beauty slapped Cinderella 
Then Snow White retaliated and hit her with an umbrella
as Ariel the little Mermaid's tail turned into legs
Prince Erick and Prince Charming stole the Easter bunny's eggs.

As Alice from wonderland grew five times her size
Hansel and Gretel...

The Best: Brilliant, Beautiful and Young
The huddled elite of Europe were in an unprepossessing state 

as pouring rain was damping their hopes for their future reign. 

These were the best: brilliant, beautiful and young that we oldies 

can attest. Their see through plastic macs reprising our youth on 

a visit...

He used to write to her, doing pen pal letters in his spare time, when not on duty.    She replied back in-between marking her students' work.                ...

Virtues and Purity
Never stood still on battling ground,
watch the vicious and villainous carnage,
and not fight with true courage...
to increase the sword clanking sound.


Never been humiliated by slandering words not timely, 
my silence banished them as they picked up velocity;
I did nothing to vindicate my anger with visceral...

Inferiority Complex As a Kid, Adolescent and Emerging Adult
Inferiority complex as a kid, adolescent and emerging adult

Yours truly (an amazingly,
gracefully, and markedly modest
passively aging baby boomer -
formerly introverted long haired
pencil necked geek),
prattling wordsmith doth behold
nostalgic memories regarding father
(Boyce Brandon Harris)
long ago lapsed decades

during papa's prime time
many years past when complacence
existed about joie de...

The Fruit of the Tree
The bible say's 
you'll know my people
by the apples that fall from their tree
but what does that mean

The apples are, the fruit from the tree
the product that the tree produces
the fruits of religion
are sometimes creating schools

Nursing home's
assistance for people in need
but when greed takes over
the...
