Hope Begins In The Dark
Hope begins at night When the lights are out While you lay in bed In the dark And try to fall asleep. It’s when all the thoughts Start to creep in to your head And you want to grab a notebook And a pen And starting writing things down Like a maniac. So, Hold on to that...

Premium Member Planting spring desires
A whispered wish, longing soil deep, Touch the stars; all are called to weep Trillions of lifetimes, we shall strive, To grasp the heavens, to truly thrive But distance vast, and transparent the walls, Keep us from picking up on unanswered calls A cosmic dance, swaying fraternally Wanting touch, past the moon, eternally Across the Earth, our fingers yearn, Galaxies, expanse whispered to burn To...

Shadow of Desires
I approach Zion’s gate, Muttering words from my jaded soul. My creative mind has brought me no jewel, And I walk in the shadow of my desires. Songs flood my thoughts, But I’m too fatigued to sing. Will my journey end here? March 22, 2025....

Greed's Wants, Desires, and Needs
I say I grow without greed, But my wants, desires, and needs, Blur in the obscurity of my own mind. My heart isn’t filled with hate, It doesn’t wish to be late, To the race that is my blossoming maturity. All will wither, all will die— And so will I, But my thoughts will keep racing, Pacing, Across a room that doesn't exist, Searching for an...

Lost desires
I remember that day so long ago when my family all went to the local store and I discovered the traveling art show paintings had they on every wall price so low that even I could buy and I did wandering gaze upon them but until I did come upon one a scene portrayed that I have not forgot a violent storm crashing...

Premium Member Deep within my being, a river of desires winds silently
Deep within my being, a river of desires winds silently, a longing to open my wings and fly towards truth, but often I lose myself in the labyrinth of others' dreams, like a bird trapped in the cage of lost expectations. Despair envelops me like a fog on the horizon of the soul, whispering that I am not who I...

A Good Person's Desires
It's good to be a good person But I have to be a good one Dare to say what should be said Dare to defend yourself when taken advantage Dare to say no if you feel unfair Choose well with the right person Everything has to have a limit on comfort It's enough to give your heart To someone who...

Premium Member Still Paying
I seized the moment, sure I’d repay it in kind. What’s a hint of regret for what I thought I needed to burn? Now the burden grows, sleepless nights interest is accruing. The cost never diminishes, but the memory of the flame is a vapor, and yet, I still pay....

Aimless Wanderer
Suitcase packed Going on a journey No fixed plan nor agenda Through the shady woods A bonfire in the night To a riverside camp Angling by a stream On a mountain trail Where the snow capped peaks Touch the sky Soaking up the sun On a sandy beach Listening to the billowy waves Crashing on the shore Gazing at a glorious...

Dark Desires
Day light sets as the darkness creeps in With the creatures of the night, their sly evil grins And piercing eyes that slip into our being For there's things in the darkness that weren't meant for seeing And the things that linger have a devilish way Of begging to us at the sun lights last ray To join in and...

Jolted by bolted days
Beauty painted by nature in the clouds, A big umbrella that shields not the crowds, Pitter-patters and everyone is soaked, Thereafter, sunlight anger is provoked. Brushes not coloured by oil or water, Yet hues of blue, pink and red on blotter, Leaving the painter's brush so sirenic, Just to make the birth of the night scenic. Dark veil then covers twilight's pretty smile, With...

Premium Member In the silence of night, when stars become silent witnesses to our unspoken desires
In the silence of night, when stars become silent witnesses to our unspoken desires, I imagine how my fingers would intertwine with yours, like roots seeking the depths of the earth, And how my palms would caress the contours of your face, drawing maps of love on your silken skin. I'd want to whisper poems to you, words...
