Premium Member Once upon a day
Once upon a day my skies grew threatening, grey. My life began to crash in a fractured dismay.. Once upon a night, another's mind took plight, so filled with delusion and paranoia's flight.. Once upon weeks after professional help I'd seek, only to witness the situation grow more bleak. Once following years after living days in fear, I took my broken heart, left...

Just Listen My Friend
JUST LISTEN MY FRIEND When you are in darkness, With gloom and dismay, You feel what's worthwhile Is slipping away. You wonder if life Is worth living at all. Your mind is in turmoil, And you're apt to fall.

Ukraine Rain - the Holodomor 1932-33
The Ukraine rain fell long and hard From clouds above on high, But what were shed Were tears of red To spill on fields awry. As storms of rage passed o'er the land A horseman through it rode. A black horse day Of wild dismay As floods of red rain flowed. Beneath the yellow and the blue The Ukraine rain poured on, It steeped the ground For...
