Premium Member Armored Isolation
As tattered night surrenders to the morning amidst a bruised and beaten sky. The hazy heavens weep their misty warning of love’s intent to pass me by. The rain, symbolic of my sorrow, defeats today and steals tomorrow. Unyielding dreams assault my weary mind with visions of my deep regret. I’d reached accord but never...

Premium Member My Prize
I can't forget the night we met, beneath the crystal skies. I saw the stars, the Moon and Mars reflected in your eyes. In light of dawn, we shared a yawn as darkness fizzled out. How sweet and light, our love took flight, defying any doubt. With all your charm, you held my arm and then you won my heart. Of this I'm sure, we...

Premium Member A HUNDRED MEN WOULD HAVE LIVED
The horse whinnied, are you alone? He ran off into the light, afraid of the night. Boy what are you doing here? You're far off trail arent you? All the posse is up there, I know all these mountains. He was the lead horse in a wagon train, It was a lot of mountain. He could not climb, his major wanted him to master it. A peak...

I think about my life Trying to understand it’s means When I fall asleep, will it untangle in my dreams? I look out of the window And it’s all a bit surreal, I’m not sure what I’m looking for or how it is I feel If I hadn’t lived my life this way, What would I have become? If it hadn’t blocked out...

Premium Member The Old Man
He walks the dark alley's, unforeseen roaming His life finds worthless circumstances to nature existence Belly rumbles hunger, need a dying sleepless thirst Once on a path to something before nothing Stricken from life the dignity must swallow He crumbles in streets, his pain felt deep What am I but a man of worldly demise...

Premium Member You Are More Than Your Wounds - A Whisper of Strength
Pain refines, but grace restores. This is the whisper of strength. There are days when the world feels heavy, when the echoes of yesterday press against the walls of today. You walk forward, yet the past lingers like a shadow . . . a silent presence reminding you where you’ve been. But hear this: You are not bound by...

So, what, we choose, inflated child's balloon Right now, so aggravated, someone got my dad's phone number and the pay back will be soon. By all means, attack the guy in a saloon not some old guy of peace, and laying most days in slumber, Not wishing can excuse your greens. How dare and I speak figuratively, red are my eyes and sinfully, I have you and...

Unsaid Prayers
She rose at dawn and laid the mat, not from longing, but from old habit. She bowed, then sat, hands curled in form, but the heart lagged— a breath behind. Whispers once lush now stumbled dry— echoes of names once called with fire. The tasbih clinked without intent, rolling bead by bead without a soul. She used to plead, soaking her sleeves, but now she blinked and called it done. Ameen, she mouthed— not out of...

Romance, Not Marriage
When handsome and shouting cowboys flirt with gorgeous gals galloping on wild horses, they won't catch up despite their manliness: women know what they are after and resist. The mid-August sun is scorching, and dust rises amid rust canyons, making trails of their escape; youth is precious to them, and these girls seek romance, not marriage to bear many children and feed...
