Premium Member FULFILL AND CONQUER GRADUATION SONG
Through the academic years The feeling of uncertain and fear Here I am on graduation day being my personal preserver The studies were hard and long I wondered is higher learning where I belong There were numerous exams Research papers imaginable I got through it all The lectures were focused on concise being pure concepts It was “MIND OVER MATTER” that become concrete I...

The Fall Below
The edge is close, my steps are slow, I shouldn’t look, but still, I know. I told myself I’d just come see But now the fear is holding me. The ground’s too far, my hands feel weak, My chest is tight, I barely speak. The railing’s there, but what if not? What if it slips? What if I drop? I take one step,...

Premium Member Don't Know Why I Couldn't Fly
Don't know why I couldn't fly When I had the wings and all, Don't know why I didn't try Was I much too afraid to fall Teetering on the bridge that day Arms outstretched, toes to the edge, Then again, who would jump anyway From such a treacherous ledge Looking down from an incredible height My last breath caught in...

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...

Cluck turns a cry
Near the yard, I heard the mother bird's loud cluck, A signal to pull a sly trick on the hick. Yuck! Her chicks all ran wild and scampered amok, Scattered by the bumpkin swinging a big stick. The dispersed chicks drew a cast of circling hawks, That were happy to see meals within their grasp....

I'm gonna do it like I've always done it
When I walk through a blink of a garden That hugs my legs And calls my mother To come collect these shard of broken glass I felt it on the kick of my leg With hours and more hours spent Asking for a chance to restart There wasn’t even a miracle To call and ask for a redo I felt the pain when...

Woman , Yours
Oh dear ! You are better off I’m not a smiling doll to play with you Don’t stain me with your fingers and words I’m possessed by a holy evil Don’t yell my dear ! Even as an embryo the world knows - I’m a witch I didn’t bewitch you Don’t think too highly of yourself You were a nomad who lost...

My Man
The fingers crawled over my lips, each step a crunch on my parched soul - lullaby for my desires But where’s the wind ? Where was it, before the drizzle? The crawl slithered into sleek curling my lips into his mouth like a prey, I panted in his loop struck by the venom of his kiss I strangled reaching for the antidote...

Moments
Moments drift by in fleeting streams, Like bubbles dancing in our dreams. Hold those moments gently in your hands, Feel the magic where joy stands. Moments of laughter, wild and free, Moments of surprise, like waves at sea. Moments of celebration, purest light, Moments of breakthroughs shining bright. Wake to the simple moments, hear its call, Embrace the whispers - great and small. Life is...

Premium Member In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day
Duty calls from valleys deep and wide, Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide. Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain, Rain of trials met with a calm refrain. Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky, Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly. Fly with honor carved in steel and soul, Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role. Role...

The Edge of Goodbye
I saw him in the corridor — my mind stopped for a moment, all my emotions rushing back, stunned, yet I kept walking. Once I was away, I crossed a wall — and broke down, tears flowing down my cheeks, words unsaid I couldn’t hold. I wanted to stay, to hold on to him, but I needed to go — to let go for my peace. I saw...

Premium Member The Turtle and the Hare
Did you know that Turtle soup, Is a favorite of the group? What a shame to taste so good, When you do as turtles should. Rabbits run a faster race, Turtles try to keep the pace, But they cannot match the speed, When a rabbit takes the lead. Rabbits too are tasty treats, When they pay for their defeats, But the turtles always face, Someone faster...
