Premium Member Dorian Gray - A Triple Entendre
The painting showed his perfect beauty, for that kept he'd sell his soul and cast aside his Godly duties to pursue his evil goals. The devil works in tempting lies waiting for the weak of mind and for righteous acts denied would further grasp one of his kind. With every evil deed Gray stays adorned with handsome youthful looks, while his painting shows decay - reveals...

Premium Member Dorian Gray Revisited
If (I / you) were to observe (myself / yourself), Would (I / You) really know (myself / yourself)? ----------------------------------------------- We prosper but we also strain - This "Game of Life" is that refrain. It carries on from day-to-day And we stay steadfast in the fray Playing our roles up to the hilt, Life's psycho-social endless tilt - Casting our lots on roulette's wheel, Love's...

A Pox On Dorian Gray
The artist may tarnish, but his art remains clean His intention stays ageless, his wishes pristine Though rust covers over what’s harder to see The base is still there —and the spirit still free (Dreamsleep: December, 2021)...

Excerpts From the Journal of Dorian Gray
Excerpts from the Journal of Dorian Gray by Michael R. Burch (These are verified excerpts from Oscar Wilde's "Journal of Dorian Gray") It was not so much dream, as error; I lay and felt the creeping terror of what I had become take hold . . . The moon watched, silent, palest gold; the picture by the mantle watched; the clock upon the...

Premium Member Buccaneering Dorian
Like wild buccaneers on a partying raid, they came ashore. Fierce waters and winds wielding their destructive swords grabbing defenceless trees by the necks: viciously shaking their hair-like foliage heads; bending their backs; snatching them up and throwing them here and there. With torrential forces, the marauding buccaneering waters and winds leveled mortared and boarded constructions as if they were thatched huts of shade. Young and old beings became like...

The Path of Dorian
O' the case of Dorian progressing through the sea, battering the Bahamas then shifting to a "three", Have you seen the damage caused, how islands lie in rubble? Property and lives were lost resulting from your trouble! Now we wait so anxiously to know the fullest measure of this great calamity ending in displeasure. Soon will come the future day when hurricanes desist. Dorian, I'm pleased to say, you will...
