Premium Member A HUNDRED MEN WOULD HAVE LIVED
The horse whinnied, are you alone? He ran off into the light, afraid of the night. Boy what are you doing here? You're far off trail arent you? All the posse is up there, I know all these mountains. He was the lead horse in a wagon train, It was a lot of mountain. He could not climb, his major wanted him to master it. A peak...

Premium Member TEARS FROM AN ANGEL
I awoke to foggy windows, there were raindrops tapping softly. The trees were swaying to the rhythm, I fell ill from melancholy. The sky was so dark, it had made angels cry. Strong winds rushed in, grey clouds blew by. I felt my strength fading fast, My head had found its pillow again. I layed back down with no regrets, I covered up and settled in. My...

Premium Member Recovery
I think about my life Trying to understand it’s means When I fall asleep, will it untangle in my dreams? I look out of the window And it’s all a bit surreal, I’m not sure what I’m looking for or how it is I feel If I hadn’t lived my life this way, What would I have become? If it hadn’t blocked out...

Premium Member I Saw A Woman
I saw a woman standing there Her clothes tattered and torn I saw a woman standing there Her face looked so forlorn A women full of worry lines Grey streaks throughout her hair A tear was rolling down her cheek But she was unaware Life had been hard, bitterly cruel Her dreams taken away And yet she’d fought with all her might To face...

The Weight of Silent Eyes
He says, "No soul will hear my cry.. No hand will catch the tears I dry." He says he shines, he says he gives.. But in his chest, no kindness lives. He paints with smiles, a brittle hue.. Yet every laugh he speaks is blue. He throws his echoes to the skies.. And begs the...

Premium Member Road To Rock Bottom
Rock bottom is a dark lonely place One people will pray to never see It's overflowing with the lowest lows Reminding you of a life full of misery The select few who are exiled there Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness This road is where desperation is...

Up From the Dead
Dead, Dead. Decay and rotten flesh, melting beneath the scorching sun. Worms, maggots, and flies- a parade in time with the vulture's drum. Teasing, tearing, ripping this way and that, dashing, splashing like an artist painting madness. Bumblebee, whisper to me: Am I dead...or just asleep in the scariest dream? No... I can't be dead. I refuse to be dethroned. Oh death, you have no...

Premium Member The beast is active'
In a gentle manner..There is emphasis on care.' Protect and Save the eco-system.' Thats already 'out there' yet the rhetoric Becomes dragonlike.' Should you err.? 2020 was an intro.' There Will be more He will dare.' Lahina saw fire..Did it fall from The sky.' What will you sacrifice? When the real test is nigh' Will you bow as a pagan?...

Premium Member Still, love persists
in the voice of a man who walks through fire to light a candle And yet, love breathes in poisoned air Though boots came down, though no one cared. Behind the fence, under red and black skies: I loved. I hoped. I paid the price. Carve this truth on prison walls In pink triangles, on nameless halls. They called us shame, they...

I came anyway
I heard you were gone from someone who didn’t know what you once meant to me. They said it flat, like it was weather. “He passed last week.” And suddenly, the air changed. I didn’t ask for details. I just drove. Quiet. Alone. Like we always said we never would be. At the service, they spoke of your laugh. Your stubbornness. The way you always showed up for people. And I smiled, because...
