Earthquakes Strike, Causing Pain and Fright
Earthquakes strike, causing pain and fright, Buildings shake, bringing death to life, Hopes have been lost in the sad night, Uncertain time, a time of strife. The dreams crumble, homes are destroyed, Many mourn for what they have lost, Families grieve for what once joyed, Memories shattered, future tossed. Through the ruins, a ray of hope, -The past can never be regained- People rise, determined...

Christchurch Earthquakes Quake
My gaze lowers building to the ground Multilayers empty landscapes, graffiti, murals. Past buildings merge into present car parks. I currently buy my daughters shoes here in this empty section. We eat here at this lovely restaurant, this fenced off parking rubble. I breakdown and cry outside the WINZ building after inhumane dysfunctional treatment. At least that building...

Premium Member Earthquakes Tonight In Ca
Down from the Sierra they rolled. Daughter asked, Are you kicking my chair? On a big couch, I sat, Felt absolutely nothing. There were three in a row. Of low magnitude. But she felt it hard. Usually, earthquakes here, feel or have a rolling motion. Tonight, not so! And no, are not a frightening sensation. ~Rock and Roll Pangie~ ...

Your Love Is Monumental
Today is an another wobbly morning where I have opened my eyes to collect my pieces and recollect the transient peace of last night  which soon gave it's way to  a tentative traumatising earthquake and perhaps this morning I found myself lying in the epicentre of breakage , placed perfectly in the centre or our...

Why, in the land of earthquakes, Must we suffer disregard As pale as lightning? In a place designed to mingle, Not connect, I am a single band of light Afraid of fading Lest I meet the wet Of human contact. Were I to wane As ebbing tides Would I be any less deserving Of the care One feels for oceans? Were I an edifice of stone Would I...

Premium Member Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Earthquake erupting volcanoes, And a summer snow storm, Will anyone heed the warning, The earth is continuing to warm. We kill in the name of a deity, An allegedly merciful being, And very regrettably, Don’t cherish the short time we have for living. Grown men playing a child’s game, For the obscenely big buck, And if you are extremely good looking, You have all the good...

Earthquakes
What if I wasn't just someone standing here in front of you? What if I played a different song with a different tune? What if it was blackbird and I sang it real soft? What would happen if I said it was my dads favorite song, and that before he went I learned to play it so he...

Earthquakes and Tidal Waves
I put my lips to yours ever so slight You pull me in closer with all of your might Kissing me while you slip your hand under the cover Fiddling around downtown, until you discover An ocean, so beautiful you must take a peek So you approach cautiously, to find what you seek You come out, then back in, a little...

Earthquakes
We're proud of things we're in control Relaxed, at ease with daily cares. We rule ourselves, no fear at all As we juggle desires and money affairs. We are not fazed by things that unnerve, As long as these do not hit us home. The wayward ones get what they deserve, We send the needy where they come from. But there are things...
