Gaia’s Last Breath
We were given one garden, One womb spun in stardust and sea foam, But we — children of steel and smoke — Turned it into a battlefield of greed. The trees whispered secrets of balance, But we silenced them with chainsaws. The rivers wept in silver tones, Now they gag on plastic and oil. Oceans rise not in wrath — But in sorrow. Mountains crumble...

Premium Member Her Muted Breath
it comes alive, stirring the soul waking the spirit to a world painted by snowfall’s gentle brush like a white canvas, the first steps across the blanketed path leave imprints of hope, imprints revealing what it means to see silence at war with nature’s breath it laughs at the hurried steps of a heart rushing past autumn’s light as she breathes her caress, against the sun who...

You Take my Breath Away
Your smile—my sweetheart, a rising sun, That warms my soul when day’s begun. No words can hold, no art portray, How you take my breath away. A gentle curve, so soft, so bright, It turns my darkness into light. In crowds, it’s all that I can see— A silent spark that sets me free. No storm could steal the calm you bring, No winter...

Sommertime Breath
Summertime is here, a breath of fresh air, The sun’s warm fingers weave through the hair, Flowers burst in colours bright and clear, Painting the world with joy and cheer. The hum of traffic, a lively beat, Footsteps and laughter fill the street, Outside, the air feels soft and sweet, Where strangers and friends casually meet. People smile beneath the golden sky, Festival spirits...

The last whispery remains of a dream fray into forgetfulness. I get up and go downstairs to quietly sit in a chair beside the window and stare into the outside dark. A few stars hang suspended in the silhouette of a tree. Six o'clock. The morning seems to have been waiting for me to bring breath to its silence and movement...

Enimies Of My Breath
Enemies Of My Breath. Like a purple dragon of doom, I breathe fire behind your knecks! With the quake of the earth, I ensue your essence to the ends of the realms. Like a volcano I erupt with the rage of gia the mother of storms, As my wings flap upon your backs, I enact the four winds upon...

Premium Member the breath of forgiveness
the breath of forgiveness . some say the music still plays in the empty doorway, shaded with time past an eternity of yesterdays and melodic songs with words that rhyme . only in silence can you hope to hear the forgotten songs that used to play while harshly made noises of a foregone year chase the...

Premium Member Bad Breath of Angel Hair
The whiff of angel hair untidy reeks a reft of detritus with showers of glitter, confetti raining down torrential, on poesy of angel breath petals amongst the roses, daffodils and daisy chains written on a page cheered on by a sage, succumbed by the celebrant's rage to breath excess on angel's stage....

Said in the Same Breath as Freedom - May 8
“O’!, work, work, work away,—ignore your thirst and shovel steadily—keep nourrishing the coals of locomotive life!(the cost is but your souls); All other occupations?—to hell dispersed! “Amen! your bosses, with cash (to be disbursed), busy their hands with myriad controls made to mold you for your determined roles; Yes… yes!, because the silence would be worst! “Aye! Men! your calling...
