Either I've Seen You Or I Want To, How Could I Be Mad At That?
The horizon is a blade— it glints whether I run toward it or watch it withdraw. Each dawn splits me open, spilling a slow trickle of salt, as if the sea is feeding me to itself, one grain at a time. I know the undertow’s handwriting— it pulls not to drown, but to measure how far my lungs will stretch. Even in absence, the shore presses...

The Ones Not Forgotten
So many names on the page today, so many more gone— vanished into silence. Does the world still care? I know they do. I hope they do. Children stolen, ripped from the arms that once held lullabies. Teens slipping through dusk, running from homes that never saw them, or saw too much. The ones who cared are left holding echoes....

My Admiration For A Hand-Woven Tapestry
Each thread hums — drawn by patient hands, dyed in storms and thaw. The base is pale as morning frost, fibers holding winter’s quiet breath. Across it, ribbons of shifting hues wind like rivers — green bending to blue, violet bruised into pink. At the center, twin knots gleam — changing under every flicker of light, tidal glass or meadowstone, never the same twice. Edges fray softly, not from...

Nuance in the Shadow
It’s not always the big things that break us— it’s the shimmer we miss on the ordinary day. When grief doesn’t arrive with a wail, but as a subtle ache, a missed beat, a song that plays when no one’s listening. I remember being happy once— but I don’t trust the memory. Too many mirrors, too much static. I learned to smile in sepia. And when the...

My life stories
Do not get carried away with a man testifying about you The fleeting and lying world will dump you soon and leave you cold Hard to explain your loyalty when your eyes are closed Folly game they play, holding to unconfessed sins to do Well, a judgment day will end them anyway One thing is for sure, evil has...

Too much is enough
Too much of your love is enough, For my soul to breathe pure and clear. Let your kiss not fall on my cuff, But on my cheeks to dry each tear. Give me your heart beyond measure, And drown me deep in its vastness. Let me swim in its true treasure, For my limbs are weak in fastness. Too much of your care...

Premium Member Perhaps
Perhaps there is a God? Perhaps we should kneel and pray? Perhaps we’ve had our turn? Perhaps it’s just too late? Perhaps we needed more than we could achieve? Perhaps the help came first before it learned to feed? Perhaps it did some good and made many a wealthy man? Perhaps it looks at us like the sea looks at the...

We never fall
For many times we've been down, Are we not still standing now? At dawn we petition the divine, Hoping for renascence into the sempiternal. Be it luminous sun or caliginous night, neither is optional, Then the sun kisses the mountains goodbye, Reminding us how swiftly time flies. If we sleep, Will we see tomorrow? The rising sun is never promised. Yet with hope, we close...
