KEEP CALM AND CARRY THE CORPSE
KEEP CALM AND CARRY THE CORPSE Britain bleeds through cracked red bricks, Rain on windows, cold that sticks. Bills climb high, wages crawl, We’re taxed to the teeth — can’t breathe at all. “Keep calm and carry the corpse,” they say. Drag it through life, day after day. Smile for the cameras, wave the flag, Ignore the stench in the body bag. Politicians promise...

The Anvil of Stillness
They shout for a piece of my mind— I offer the quiet, forged and cool, Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool: A breath that holds when the structure sways, A root that grips when the landslide calls. Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze, But the choosing of water when fury sprawls. It’s not...

Premium Member Floating
Minor signs of anxiety Sunk in the glass of lemon water In the panic of the present time Life flows in a calm stream Along the damp walls of low storey buildings My boat floats to nowhere Under the arches of old bridges Voices distorted by echoes ring out What they say, what they are silent about Is unimportant for I can't hear I float...

Calm Ocean of Mind
A wide, flat horizon expands without end, A glass-like level mirrors the sky to blend; Soft shimmers of light jitter on the water, Tender waves roll in the sea blue in color. Rhythmic lapping of water against the shore, Distant songs of seabirds that I can't ignore; A soothing hush like nature's whispering sigh Delivers mild voice that I cannot deny. A cool,...

Peace of mind
I need not build a mansion to find my peace of mind. I need no fleet of luxury cars for calm to dwell inside. All I need is a whisper — a gentle breeze blown beneath a clear, untroubled sky, under a tree that leans above a quiet, streaming brook casting a cool, soft shade. The bright sunlight will wrap me in a tranquil blanket, within a...

Life after death
Death strikes with its wicked grin, Deep grief and sorrow it brings, Flights to heaven then begin, When our souls fly without wings, Each saint bears a halo ring, They reign there as queens and kings, With Angels near a calm spring.

Calm Waters, Safe Harbour
I've been to a few strange places in my day some hotter than the hottest spot on the sun some colder than the coldest crater on the moon and all the while I was looking for someone looking here looking there I was searching everywhere now I found you you are the one my searching days are done for my heart...

Premium Member When silence envelops me, I become a prisoner of such deep calm
When silence envelops me, I become a prisoner of such deep calm, That I hate the quiet that strips me bare, yet love it all the same. It strips everything of meaning, people, voices, even myself, And I begin to see the world through lifeless eyes, as if nothing matters, As if everything passes in a cycle of which...
