Of Crows and Possums
Sitting on a long deck At a trailer In South Georgia Wind in the Pine Trees Reading Nathaniel Hawthorne My stomach is empty except for this longing and guilt A murder of Crows loudly soar through Creasing the boughs of the Pines It is only Them and I And Love that I left Love that I lost A hollow serenity settles in I pull at the Scarlet Letter Blazing on my chest Hester exposed As...

Words to You
I have an innocent fellow in me, I keep it hide from around me. He has no mind but only a heart, so pure, so delicate and innocent, I need to keep it away from all, world so wicked, intentions of devil. He needs faith; He speaks the truth, But around disguised in devil faith, And You did a dangerous thing. Assured him as...

Premium Member As This River Gives, Rock a Bye, Lyrics
As this river gives, not giving a damn Emptying out the lake of hate, I am This ecosystem dies, but was it alive? Just surviving on dreams that I kept inside Confusion fills me, deep as this hole The sinkhole depths mirror my soul No reflections to see, nothing left to find Just hollowing cries, and thoughts unkind Saturated tears, muddled in fears A...

But You can not own even this for the words were not yours to speak of dissolution and disparities. and still you uttered such falsehoods an attempt to hurt...

Am I drowning?
Another conversation within myself. Another riddle within the spectrum of possibility. Wouldn't it be wise to search for someone in this moment of desperation? Fighting to wipe away these tears that wont keep. Standing in the rains of despair. The machine becomes obsolete. How to find clarity? Diluted fantasies? I know somewhere my questions cease transcending the mark that keeps them guessing. A fallible...

A Pound of Flesh
What is it that you need from me? - I pray that you do tell. For everything I've offered - hasn't gone over too well. Patience as you grow? - As you learn from your mistakes? No, that cannot be it - because you've never really changed. Could it be understanding? - For me...

Born with beauty all over her face Trim to fit leather and lace Always attractive with her new looks Catching her prey with her sexy sharp hooks Green was the color she held in her purse Men in suits would burden her curse Whatever she wanted she got with her sass And what helped her...

Premium Member Vacancy
In twilight’s hush, where dreams commence, I wandered lost in limerence. A glance, a spark, a breathless flame, Yet never once he spoke my name Love lived in ache, not permanence. Who am I to wake a beast Dressed up in stark reality? For all the signs I could not read And all the signs I did not see, Love left within a...

The Bottom of the Glass
The Bottom of the Glass Where do we go when we need to escape? Moving forward, who do we blame? Sometimes we go to a place to hide. From here on out we don’t let anyone inside. We live a lonely life. While we leave the past behind. Apart from another, There's no going back...

Shadows
we're living with shadows, I know we can't forget. We are not the same ones we were. Quite the opposite. You gave me your reasons, and I couldn't live with them so you don't owe me a thing. Can I ask you this? If you have an answer and I find a question for it. Can we dance in...

My Hands Today My hands are getting old today. They are getting old right in front of my eyes. I suppose the rest of my face is following, But I can not see that happening. There is some peace in that, But my hands…? I don’t mind hard work. I never minded hard work. I liked hard...
