Premium Member Silent Can Be Heard
He stood before her— silent, but not unspoken in his thoughts. Words echoed loud in his mind, if only she could hear them, perhaps she would understand. Understand his faults, the weight of missing words, the drought of silence that left her drowning in doubt. But when silence breaks, clarity cuts deep. His chosen words— not what she longed to hear. He thought his silence was in her best interest, a...

Writers Drought
I search through leafs of carefree past In scribbled lines left half undone For wisdoms sage to point the path Back to where it first begun My one last chance to grip the quill And spin the trials of venture bold A gift to those that follow still By spinning folly into gold...

Winter at the North pole
How long wait for sun? Darkness starts to stun. Frostbites have begun, The heater blows cold. The worst cold foretold. So cold, the north pole. A wait to console... a plea to my soul.
