Premium Member The Unknowns
Around this globe American heroes rest in hallowed grave,
Fallen upon the field of battle, our precious liberties to save.
Most have their honored names forever etched in stone;
Other stones display that simple phrase, "Known But To God Alone."

Who could that gallant warrior be? we will ever...

trapped fish swim about

behind clear, aquatic walls;

do seas haunt their dreams?

The Fearing Unknowns
Today, my spirit is as a wild stallion
Free to rear up and paw, my fears
A mother bear protects her young, 
She shelters her cubs, from the feared unknowns
The unknowns are her presumed enemies
Who cloth in darkness, from her prejudiced light
Unknowns are uneducated, they lie today
And,...

Unknowns of Love
Quiet shivers, exploding from head to toe
Pulses quicken, heart's race
Each crawling out of their own skin
Wanting, longing to touch, 
But too scared of what comes next

Unknowing, unsure, no words to cure
Every sensation, every spark, filling up the dark
One moment everything bare,
By a kiss that would...

Do we really know?

Poe wrote about death a lot,

His profession was the...
