Pterodactyls Thriving

On steamy summer days as warm waves lap the shore
     The pelicans pass over in perfect V-form

Their silhouettes appear dark beneath yellow sun
     An eerie reminder of a species thought gone

Pterodactyls, you see, first came to...

Sickly Vine, Thriving Vine
Unjustly stymied, down by law,


The good citizen balks, throws his -


Monkey wrench into the grinding gears of society:


"They all be damned."


But freed, aided, 


The good citizen (Way, will) makes straight that path,


Turns forward the Great, Lasting Wheel of Society,


For the benefit of all....

A Thriving Heart
The harrowing woe
Reigns upon me—
Why must it be so? 

And my trembling heart
Burns intensely—
How does it still grow?...

to a desire
and endure
it's blazing fire
              to follow passions
              where they may lead

Thriving
How do I thrive?
Having faith, 
Self-discovery,
Having belief.
That’s what makes me
Feel alive.
What is a life
Without growth
And full of pain?
It’s a struggle,
Like rain
When all you want
Is a sunny day.
My sunshine,
That’s my son,
He is the key
To the recipe to thrive.
Thriving,
Alive, 
He is my sunshine.
Sometimes it feels like 
My...

Premium Member Thriving In Solitude
I have a fondness for the polar bear,
hunting seals on a frozen ice-packed sea.
For camouflaged by white-snow everywhere,
like ghosts, they're impossible to see.

Cerulean waters freckled with white
patches of ice and snow comprise their home.
And all the northern creatures fear their might,
keeping a safe distance from...

Shore Where Life Is Thriving
shore where life is thriving

Shore where life is thriving
Refresh us once again
Dunes where winds are blowing
That cleans its sands away
Grows eternal within its lines
Above the stars still shine

Where  active minds do dwell
And rest when need to rest

From the self in its remissions
Imparted shores within
We...

Third degree burns? I just get hot;
Finally, deep enough to wound;
Painful skin grafts can't get a shot,
to my frequency you were tuned;
Beneath the surface desire crooned,
I'll be your willing apprentice;
Eyes flashing 'Danger' I just swooned,
thriving in a consuming kiss....

Weeding
Weeding
When weeds grow on love
We spend time weeding not loving
And before we realize the rains are gone
The land is dry and the love is dying.

When love grows on weed
We spend time loving not weeding
And before we realize the rains are back
The weed is gone and...

Journey
Down,
Up.
What can be expected?
Not much.
If you do not jump,
We can all see limitations!
But the Master can create innovations,
Not the popular way!
But there is a way.
Nothing can be achieved,
As long as you are deceived.
Far from this road shall I travel!
Sometime can be said for uniqueness,
It creates...

Reasons

Sometimes we think, 
Sometimes we drink!
Sometimes our mind,
Is lost in liquor or wine!
The trouble between both black and white, 
Is that each see their view as right!
Let's work together for a single master,
Instead of fighting, which ends in disaster!
We could try annihilation of others,
But I...
