We hold hands and leap tall buildings
If you love someone, set them free... Whether children leaving the nest or friendships that last across continents... Love is forever... Even when we're apart. We hold hands and leap tall buildings By Michelle Morris 09/03/2025 I don't want to lose you But I can't see another way You have to be free and true to you It's not...

The Old Aqueduct
It juts out by the river road, traffic passes it each morn, what’s left of the old aqueduct, something stately, yet still forlorn. The rock, with no mortar, was set so fine it would make Incas proud, precise enough to still hold up today, and centuries from now. There’s a display with a picture of how it looked in days of old, twenty arches spanned...

Sightseeing
He took me sightseeing Hand in hand Smiling bright Eyes for each other To the city of his dreams Navigating the twists and turns of the streets Awed by the sights and sounds The majestic buildings Their architectural splendour Where history whispers And echoes through its corridors We stopped by a quaint cafe Enriched by the experience of it all...

Premium Member BUILDINGS IN the SNOW
Buildings blue pink, yellow, orange and white in a row, and it is snowing. At midnight they seem to hover in the dark, and snow glows in the sky and on the ground. No telling if they are all alone. Perhaps, they are facing neighbors. The blue building, teal and curtain-less, abandoned, and yet freshly painted. The pink house is decorated with pretty lights in swag fashion. An orange church is between the pastel yellow and large white home. Its windows are stained in...

Wonky is nature's norm! Our obsession with straightness, conceived in arrogant innocent bliss, kowtows to a belief that adroit straightness following straight lines, somehow makes things stronger, smarter, more eye-pleasing and ever better in the long run. But entropy knows better than the 'know-alls', that everything transforms and decays to maximum disorder in time. For order and straightness requires the input of energy and effort that entropy lusts to...

The City
Concrete looming into the sky, Cars and people rushing by. This is the town man has built, Causing mother nature to take a tilt. You don't see here sunny rays, Everything appears through an exhaust fume haze. In these towns, violence and crime are rife, Is this what man wanted to make of life. If he goes on detroying nature to make his...

A sunny Sunday afternoon The daffodils are sprouting You and I walk hand in hand Antiquing and just browsing We're looking for a wooden tray Not sure just how we'll use it But like my bluebird's tender love I'd never want to lose it...

Buildings and Mind
Buildings and Mind Houses, mansions and big castles Statues, monuments, and holy temples All are built with cement and sand Mixed and erupted on solid land Once if shattered, could be rebuilt without changing the original requisite Thoughts and memories of many kind Made along with time, in human mind Kindness, affection,love and trust Will blend with heart and soul upfront...

False Gods and Pillows Sleeping
Titanium white floats on the snow OWLS path Large black eyes focused front and down to hunt Rodents worship birds of prey but fear being eaten There is more to life than living in the trees Over the river and to the left a cathedral ends Inside there once dwelt a tabernacle bright Now once upon a time and than again...
