Premium Membera protagonist

Shut the door to the purple and bruised
in the dark like an old dog and a bone
refuses the water too and a stew.
cooked to be so deliciously....
but her old bones are given
and stubborn of weakness,
I just need you to drink
and to eat something...

There's another of black of visions
I can hear the ravens and the pigeons,
after

Premium MemberTHE HARDEST WAVE GOODBYE

THE HARDEST GOODBYE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hospital room filled with a sterile hush,
beeping machines murmuring
with their relentless lullabies.

there you lay, my anchor, my compass,
wrapped in sheets that felt too white,
too clean for the storms we had weathered.

your eyes, deep wells of wisdom,
speak volumes, yet silence reigns,
for you cannot speak. 

I hold your hands, a map of your life
every callus

BELOVED RUN UNTO THE FATHER AND THE SON

Run, run run run, run, run run run
Sister run, run run run unto the Lord
For He has open arms, he’ll embrace you
And keep you warm, within this cold, cold world;
Brother run, run toward the Lord
Our Father He will cover you
Provide for you ad keep you
Keep you

Father

Father
Lord of manner I shall not weep from
backwords she can't gavel
above her the beast
hateful of beauty in arrival
to learn the day 
to burn the way
opened eye must, alone
become a sacrifice
not to a throne she bevels
his edge lower and unaware
the liberty of private war
she alas will declare
this and thou
is how we leave the tombs
handled over too

Premium MemberCome To The Waters

As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55  vs 8


"My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, says Father" 
I come to the waters, an empty mind.
Fill this vessel of your needy daughter.

Premium MemberFather




I seem to do everything wrong,
or else I just take too long.
I won't wear a dress
and my hair's always a mess.
I can't tell a joke
and yes, I still smoke.
Everything I do
is frowned on by you.
Now you've gone to heaven above;
I'll never be able to win your love.

My Lineman Dad

Dad, I see you scale those towering poles,
Braving stormy skies and bitter cold.
Your hands, worn strong, hold steadfast tight,
Repairing the lines to bring us light.
Through sleepless nights and endless calls,
You face the wind, the rain, it all.
A guardian of the current's hum,
Ensuring life's rhythm will always run.
I remember the mornings you'd rise before

My parents did not know  

About  Joe 

My beloved beau  

And what the maturing character did  

Making him a heroic paternal twit   

One day with spring in the air  

Did not have a care

Irony nor spirit of time

Five sons well can live
In dad’s one-room, a palace, 
Scarce in five-room space
Can the five sons spare some place
For aged parents.
Why just blame the spirit of time,
Or even irony of time,
Blame thyself O man,
Think much as ye can,
Product you are of Purbee breeze.

Let me go

Let me go

Why am I left sad

When you were nothing bad

Why am I left writing

So you can go carrying on living

I am fulled with nothing but rage 

Because you left me in a cage

Had me smothered in your sage

All at such a young age 

I am left with nothing but pieces of my childhood 

With

Premium MemberTrue Voice

Times when I've run out of rope,
out of second chances, out of hope,
and I don't know what to do - 
I'm all alone and lost.
I've been too harshly tossed.
I'm drowning in a river, uncrossed. 
From Heaven, I hear you.

Times in my life, I've been laid low,
and hope is buried beneath snow -
I can't see my

Dear dad,

Dear dad,

Why could you have been like other dads, who play with their kids and not mess with heads at such a young age. You put me in this fake situation that how you were raising me was ideal and the right way, but after years of finally know that’s not true. Me raising you

Growing up to fast and coming of age

Growing up to fast,
Coming of age. 

Both about maturity but different

One witnessed something they were not supposed to see, while the other saw when ready

One forced to be a man, the other gradually becoming a man 

One having a parent who would mentally abuse, while the other has two amazing parents

One having to work hard

Premium MemberFather and AI Son

Can it be beyond, insane
when a brain begets a brain,
putting it in competition
with its own junior edition?
Proud of tot's data retrieval,
will he mimic papa's evil,
wishing not for an embrace,
but ever scheming to replace?
I'm rife with distress and bother -
will the son turn on the father?

FATHER CHILDREN FAMILIY


Love really exists
Caring reciprocal love
Father, children, happy family...

Father of the earth, you are beautiful
created in magnificence
graciously gifted by God
to give yourself to your children in love!

Father, exemplary man, strong
husband and royal protector,
crucial support and support...

Gently but attentively,
father warns; daughter, don't play at the table!
"Father, I'm recording, I'm not playing."

Calm, transparent pond...
ducklings learn to swim!
