Family Ties
Family is not a place to argue Family is where love is shared together Family is not a fight for right or wrong Nor it is a battlefield to be defeated Family is not where you win or lose It's a place for us to come back after being tired A place of refuge being pressured on society out there Family member...

In the eyes of my cousins, Lifted, like the birds – on wings Exciting rhythms, limbs Rounded with muscles, stronger Than words, abandoned To the shadows, Silhouettes of grace, singing Dancing in brown, blue, green Versions of my heart, Laughing, giggling, crinkled With tears, years falling through Trees, oaks and pines, Tender leaves on spring praising In gentle turns, breathing Hearts open, sincere as the dreams Dreamed by November...

BIG SISTER
You were big sis Who was full of fire With large sparks Of life, you loved and Lived life to the fullest You could have been A comedian with your Constant jokes and laughter But you were taken away From me, like a thief In the night, never to return ...

Still as the softest morning dew, Listless and lonely, Breathing in notes, harmonizing With the leaves as they dance, Haphazardly, in rhythms – rhymes Of light and serenity, faithful to the colors Bleeding across hesitant callings… August remembers when the songs grew weary, Fading from the summer in blues, Softest indigo and cerulean drowned by hues, Of melancholy, soundless as the moments Before yesterday spun out...

Family Ties
from behind a sword is thrust through my chest my pain is indescribable it is so great I feel I have to share it to feel relief I don't really look back to see whom the sword is from I just know whoever pokes this wound Will surely feel the full wrath of my pain Finally something does I smile cynically What a fool I grab the...

Family Ties
Looking into her eyes I find myself thinking of her sister, imagining the pain they will both suffer when they grow older. To think these girls will not find each other in life is ignorance, and to think they won’t resent those who made it impossible for them to be in each other’s lives is...

THICKER THAN WATER I pushed at the open door no sound just darkness inside. Dust filtered my nostrils, a mustiness of lost years inhabited my senses. A loose floorboard creaked in the stairwell, the aroma of her Chanel provoked memories of my living hell. A tear of self-pity congealed in the dirt at my feet I switched on the light "Hello...

Premium Member Family Ties Should Bind
Family ties should bind the wound When parents get their well-earned rest Ne’er leave a single child ungroomed While other siblings’ take the best. They were the most godly parents Family ties should bind the wound Neither mom nor pop were errants Leaving their children to be doomed. Death lately together entombed Leaving the six children to share Family ties should bind the wound Four are...

Family Ties
Family ties should always end in a bow, Never in a knot. They should be footloose from time to time, But a little butter on the feet, Helps when it is time to find the way home. Family ties need a traditional base, For when the ride gets rough. We should not forget, That mixing with a little water helps, When ties need...

Family ties welcoming with warm bliss midst kiss and hugs of every brod and sis contagious laughter of exuberance... exude our ancestral house we can’t miss. Thus, in passing by an ancient abode its garden full of ferns, and weeds-bestowed decrepit roof whispers “I need repair” we just sighed at the load along the road. Evoking forlorn beyond grandeur-state ramshackled porch hides against rusty...

Family Ties
What is the meaning of 'family ties' Is the meaning lost in lies We strive to hold it all together Although we're not birds of a feather With different lives and much to do we need our families, me and you We laughed and cried, had fun together we thought it all would last forever As the family grows by leaps and bounds less...

Family Ties
Some wear conservative, while some wear liberal, some for Trump, while some for Clinton, some are Catholic or Protestant while some are Jewish, some are carefree, while others are prudent, some just getting hitched, while some growing leery, some newly born, still others are old and weary, some have good paying jobs, while others are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling, some have excellent health, while others are dealing with different...

Family Ties
There is a scarlet cord which hath been woven with the strength of love Entwined between thine heart and mine A three fold cord that can not be broken though time and distance doth separate. Tis a precious bond between you and I that only the Father could create An irrevocable bond that shall ever bind...
