Premium Member A Close Encounter
Self-awareness on a pedestal, stalled by a stormy day, placed there by providence —by poet A Close Encounter car window reflected a close encounter. iridescent feathers folded; downpour. in blue cape, he hides his eyes, blue-green. we squeak past the blue trash can, he’s atop. so close, my husband doesn’t see him there, but the passenger, me, “Look a peacock!” was on my way to get...

Premium Member Close Enough for a Thursday
It’s been a long time since I’ve ventured into this new studio of mine— dust has settled like ashes on the unshelved books and the jars of brushes still packed away in boxes that intimidate me. Since I’m already here I might as well unpack one carton of my past. I slit the tape on a box labeled Miscellaneous, not knowing what I’ll find. Inside, a parrot, a toucan, some...

Premium Member I like to dream, to close my eyes and weave silent worlds
I like to dream, to close my eyes and weave silent worlds, where silence flows like a silk river under the moonlight, but when I dream of love, a gentle story like the whisper of the wind, my heart trembles like a water lily on a glassy lake. Not that I have been betrayed by shadows or abandoned by...

Don't Get Too Close
You might wanna think... Before you step up to me. My mind's twisted... Sadistic... Animalistic... Be careful with me. Don't get too close. Don't spend too much time Watching my every move... I've got a point to prove, and you're the first on my list. Completely pissed... Furious and enraged. Unlock the cage... If you think you can keep up... I don't fight to win. I fight to kill and obliterate... Heart...

She's Someone Close To Me

Which words I feel Makes you important in this life The harsh or gentle words or just soft touch. My hands keep smelling Perfume...

Stay Close To Me
Stretch forth thy hand and touch the palm Of my hand, write a verse on it and memorize it Morning feels like lead pressing upon my head and evenings stare at me with a frown, and from a distant I could see that you want to break down and cry, but you were just pressing it in as you try...

Premium Member We Hold You Close
Beyond this realm of all we know exists another where souls can grow. A welcome space proved true by faith where wings, brand new, are greeted, embraced. This special place of peace and calm is Heaven for settlers from far and beyond. So, when you’re heart aches as it’s bound to do, just make sure you take care of you. It’s hard to believe, even harder to accept, the depth of emotions so heavy,...

Close
I count the birds at my feeder, watch them arrive only to disappear, they are a happenstance, they flicker in and out, die and return. People overhear other lives, I imagine where they go and why? The flush of a toilet brings visuals as if every wall were an opaque plasma screen. People have died in the close, dead neighbors, three, four, six times removed. The living...
