On a Jukebox That Remembers Me
I met ANGIE in a bar where grief drank quiet, where HONKY TONK WOMEN spilled perfume and regret. She moved like WILD HORSES with nowhere left to run— said, “I’m safer UNDER MY THUMB than out in the open.” She kissed like a dare and left like smoke. On RUBY TUESDAY, she vanished into rain, murmuring, “YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT...

Premium Member Dare Poke the Bear!
Dare poke the bear, rattle the cage, Time will slink away to shun you. For the fight is more rant than rage. Dare poke the bear! Friends will cringe and flinch at your blew. Ignoring pleas from wise old sage, You've bitten more than you can chew. So let the swing and swipe in cage. Suffice to quell your hoodoo brew, Before it poisons...

Premium Member A Dare
I pressed my body into gravel and oil, the earth shuddered like it knew my name. Wind tore at my hair— hot metal screamed above me, the stink of burnt grease and fear beside me. Too late, I thought of low-hung hoses, of chains and things that could pluck me straight out of the world. I held my breath, as if air alone...

If
Sit with me If you dare to partake Delicacies suited for a king Uncomposed melodies that compel the heart to sing Rays of the sun wrestled from the sky Secrets of wise men upon whom I dared to spy The moist anticipation purchased from dreamers with bated breath Renewed energy reclaimed after a moment of rest The sweetness of honey gifted by the bees The gentle power of the forest as trees...

Don’t You Dare Stay, Don’t You Dare Leave
I didn’t ask you to come. You came anyway-- like sympathy could scrub the blood off my breath. Don’t you see? My grief is mine. You’re holding tissues like they matter. You’re speaking like you understand. You don’t. Not the burn. Not the echo. Let me fall. Let me break and crawl through it-- I need the splinters to feel like proof that I was touched at all. And yet, if you leave now I...

Premium Member DARE TO DREAM
As the evening was turning to night The sun had already set 10:00 pm being time to sleep There was no counting of sheep My eyes began to get heavy Trying to fight it Sandman won A dream started the stage It was totally amazed Through the illusion Survival or Death in the air Turbulence quarters Danger and warning surrounding I was aboard a passenger plane Why I was...

Premium Member Some people never dare to walk on the edge of madness
Some people never dare to walk on the edge of madness. What truly dreadful lives they must lead. They remain on the ground, bound to a dull reality, without sparkles, Living in invisible cages, without knowing the flight of dreams, What madness-free lives, what narrow horizons, without colors. Their souls do not know the dance of the stars, nor the...

I dare you to run on__ even when the day is long... I dare you to be the best version of yourself. To know you're enough and that you have all your help... I dare you to hold a smile. Not care and sit and dream awhile... I dare you to stay with it. Especially when the naysayers inveigle you to quit... I...
