Star Child
Late at night or on the threshold of another dream, I power up my time machine and travel over the temple tops of an as yet unchartered heaven. The mind flips over as if some spectral hand was turning over a giant tortoise shell, the inner carapace is mapped, and I see that an adventurous wanderer has been here before me. Before the light illuminated the...

Premium Member To Cancer
Your presence is unbidden, silent as a sleeping cat, you're cancer. Clothed in robes of despondency, of deep tolling knells. Yet, there's flowering hope of exultation, rising into another star-blessed dawn. You cannot, you will not dampen dreams, they are always created, nurtured from their infancy, delivered into limitless life, so treasured from a child's free mind, as vast, as pristine as the universe. Then, like pure doves they...

Her little light
The colours of the world have faded My life, I would of traded She was taken to soon Her time on Earth a fleeting tune Only three brief years she knew Now, she’s gone from our view The world feels black and white Without her shining light Too young, too precious, too sweet In her absence, life feels incomplete She should be here, by my...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter
-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind. “Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.” Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together. Late at night, when silence drapes...

Alive, But Gone
I love you both with all my heart, But Mum, you tore that love apart. You made me choose, you made me cry, While Dad was left to wonder why. You spoke of him with poisoned tongue, Bad words for ears still far too young. You painted him in shades of wrong, And made me feel I don’t belong. He wasn’t perfect, neither...

A cemetery of sorts
Contest: Cemetery Sponsor: Constance La France Written 28.05.2025 They called him wild although he hardly spoke. Remote to them to breathe electric air. He moaned in thought before the plastic broke. A soundless pressure wound too tight to bear. Each toy held codes he opened to translate. He was not mean but simply born to ask. No answers came from objects he’d ablate. Limbs scattered...

Freedom
The say we are free but, our is hearts is at consciousness. Thou mind is travelling the universe looking for freedom. Hope is lost through the environment. Our hearts are playing with fire, thou hateness is among us. Why the colour of our skin try to define us. Why our souls can't live with peace where freedom is available. Hope...

Star boy
Star boy They say heaven gained another angel when someone dies But when it comes to the death of black lives We say the universe gained another star Because to us It represents their light and love Shining down from above Each star a story of loss Each star a story of pain Each star a symbol of what being black costs Each star...

Society's Treasure
Precious gifts, society's treasures, Gifted from above, joy's warm glow. Aged hearts find solace, homes filled with glee, Yet harm them, and harm yourself, a truth to see. Forgiving and gentle, they shine radiant, In a twinkling, conflicts fade in a moment. Jesus' wisdom resounds: learn from their paths, Tend them with care, and blessings will bloom. Guardians of innocence, counselors of heart, Parents,...

Remember my Name
As I walk down the corridors of time, the scene of eight decades ago came back to haunt my mind, I can hear the bombs exploding and the waves fighting with the howling wind and screams and cries emerges from the deep, and somewhere in the midst of the sand, I could hear someone...
