Dirt Driveways
Dirt Driveways Who knew that dirt driveways lead to happy homes? That Prince Charming’s white horse is really a black BMW. That our kingdom would consist of his, mine, and ours. Who knew that fairytale castles came in split-level houses with cathedral ceilings? That the beauty in the house comes from the twists and turns in the architecture. That...

My family never digress Without giving me their best Even amidst the stress They're always coming first Always picking me up from the dirt. My family, my inspiration Always giving...

We have all heard the voice Of Edward Hyde and...

Premium Member PS Atheists Get Your Own Dirt
Part I Rock n Roll came through the slave trade The Hippies and Moonies said “We’ve got it made” “Rock n Roll sounds came from the jungle” [Lennon said] The blues helped through the struggle The rhythm and the movements of Hendrix And now the movement in Spandex “Music is used to manipulate the mind,” said Mason And with music Crosby said “We...

You make me happy. You are full of life. You represent everything I need. Please, call me mine. These are my sweet, weak but effective lines to get through your walls; they work like magic, always. My first week with you will be soothing; I'll take you to a paradise of ecstasy, and you'll forget your worries. Wait, give me a little time, and I'll...

The Devils Dirt
Driving down the danger zone my destiny dies in a dead end street Dragging dilapidated deliveries doing the Damn Demons divine deed Distance deceives my demented disguise the dumb things I don't do Decisions divide deep, deep inside the Devil's debt is way past due The Mark of Madness melts away most of my meager mental mind Masqueraded as this...

My Empire of Ashes Who am I without my dark throne? I am the King of this crumbling castle, alone. The ruler of this empire of ashes. A child with an empty box of matches. A King with a madness profound, Everything that I have loved, I’ve burnt to the ground. ...

Premium Member PLAYING IN THE DIRT
She is 15 months old…this beautiful little squirt she likes nothing more than walking barefoot everywhere and playing in the dirt. In fact she loves dirt so much…(her parents tell us with a moan) they believe she thinks dirt is a food group all its own. I love to watch her play…in her world both simple and complex because you never...
