Branches of Belonging
I was born with the meaning of home running through my veins, like sunlight weaving through branches, casting warmth on cold earth. In shadows, I gathered light, each ray a promise, each beam a whisper filling spaces of despair. With hands outstretched, I became a...

Child Custody After Divorce
The Environment of Prosody Suits not ‘Courts’ stand on Child custody, Silly scratching up some melody For what to a party is bloody And might only excuse Threnody… Its pains to father losers much stiff, Court rooms they leave like some Child Thief For - yes - a child is its mum’s fat hope For Alimony -...

Untitled
Little people, funny creatures Once so fragile now so strong Little people, who are you now? To me no more do you belong. I wait so fearful, apprehensive Who am I to be? Was once their world, their eager faces Eternally turned to me. I doubt, I fear, I do not believe And thoroughly distrust The bond of motherhood so strong Find...

Cupidity, Confabulation and Their Cosy Custody of Crime Royal
His point-blank, most promising laurel lost Long, long his e'er-lasting longing lingers His muse becomes bedridden under freezy frost Yet his nikhedonic mindscape ne'er malingers Surging from mood's winters and merging its splinters Ramrodding illusion-edified effulgences into his emulous edacity Without knowing whether with reluctance or with alacrity...

Premium Member Custody of 2020 Eyes

Premium Member In the Custody of Hope
IN THE CUSTODY OF HIS HOPE The common denominator of human life Rode his pale horse past our house today; And our lessened numbers paid the price— God had chosen—His will had been sent our way. Grief, the child of love, came and prayed with us; With shared emotions, we gathered in the relief of peace; Consoled souls sang songs praising our...

Insight In Custody
Love, these days were so dark Frequently rain kissed the ground This is the moment when mellow tries to embark Right after the thunder shouts, echoing its mighty sound Love, these days I sink into numbness Blank pages haunt my enthusiasm Chasing days without any sense, am I getting dumb? Or is it just reality which tried to sabotage the poet's paradigm? Love,...
