S ilence sometimes brings satisfaction
O ccasionally, time for thought.
L uxuriousness~calm distraction
I nconsequential things become naught

T emptestuous seas level out
U nchoregraphed waltzes cease
D rought ended, spirit's presence sprouts
E thereal emotions come bring peace

We all look the same sitting on the toilet
We all look the same sitting in traffic
Nevertheless is nevertheless does
Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the Menu
100% of anything is junk
I am impatient with stupidity
Counter intuitive is counter productive

Meaning of Nothing
More money makes themselvs better,
Such fancy cloths and shoes made with real leather,
They judge not knowing what happens behind the curtain,
They dont see the lost soul hidden,
Beneath the skin holds only darkness within,
Unless you have seen the absolute nothing you cant imagine,
You cant fix the...

Premium Member Frederick the Rogue Dentist
A rogue dentist called Frederick McCrouth 
Brought misery to many a ones mouth
Caused his patients great pain
Done for profit and gain
Eventually their teeth all fell south.

Frederick's nickname was' dentist from hell'
Gold implants at a high price he would sell
He was caught in a trap
Is now...

Antoine the Kingpin
A..ntoine was a selfish young man,

B..rought in a palace filled life,

C..hoose to live the hooligans life,

D..evoured by lust for more money,

E..ngaged in drugs sold for money,

F..ake identification to be drug lord,

G..uns were his way of being a drug lord,

H..ide from the police and his family,

I..ncluded...

Premium Member Just Three Words For Heaven
Joyous, scribing ballad
Underneath the moon
Starlight sprinkled lyric
Twilight's cosmic rune

Tending hearts romantic
Heaven's swirling shoals
Roiling objects skyward
Expanse, alighting souls
Each abiding wonder ...

Wrought amidst reprise
Omnipotent as thunder
Requited love's demise
Dazzling godlike plunder
Supernal yawning skies.

Spindles and Seas
Spindle spindle
spin for me
bring yesterday back
and my love from the sea

Stars shining, stars bright
bring me back her lovely sight
dried from seafoam, alive and well
bring her back from her watery hell

O' winds, howling winds!
Spare me my loveless night
Speed her soul through fire and cloud
fill her eyes...

Brought by the Lord as grand answer to our prayer request

Baby Sarah*, welcome to our home of love’s fullest
Your haven of bliss, shielded from pandemic’s pest.

Precious baby** princess, serenely jubilant
Really, you exude hope’s radiance, innocently...

Lay In Flames
you left me here
to rought die and fear
and im falling even more
can't save me this time
no, not this time

like a drug, like a pill
it was fun at first
it wasn't real
but the side effects
have taught me well

i'm cold and alone
you left me in an abandoned home
but...

Let the Rain Fall From the Sky
L-et the rain fall from the sky, 
I-n the land leaves are dry; 
Z-ealously pray to the Lord, 
A-sking Him as you cry.

D-ay eight in June morn
E-ndless blessings flow; 
P-ure delight from above
I-s replacing your sorrow.
D-rought turns into grace, 
E-ach leaf sways, birds fly; 
P-lea...

Brought to me this morning 
Lighting up my day
Under wraps so warming
Everything to say
Bereft the night before
I missed the conversation 
Returned to me once more 
Delighted with elation...

When the Engines Feast I
Man has built the beast 
Rought from blood and bone 
sweat and tears of creation 
man has built the engines that
feast on the body blood marrow
stars die as empires rises from the east 
cold bathing all in holocaustic light
hollow inside covering 
all in ashes, flesh...

Memorable Fourteenth September
M-emorable fourteenth September
A-ims to make you real happy; 
R-emembering your birthday
I-s equivalent to an ecstasy.
V-ersatile fourteenth September
I-s also a multifaceted morn; 
C-hunks of mirth and fancy brought fun when you were born.

T-hrilling fourteenth September
A-ims to excite your heart; 
J-oyful feelings and cheers
A-re not going to...
