Premium Member An Open Fire
I miss an open fire. Warmth, these days, is breathed out of the thin lips of a plastic vent commanded by a button. There is nowhere now where I can sit and stare into the depths of a dancing flame, enter that sacred space where thoughts and mystery meet and reconnects something in me to its earliest roots. I...

If My Poems Were Eulogies
If being pretty were a crime, you’d already be behind the bars Because angels look at their reflection and wish they had your smile And I’m not sentimental, but to you I must confess: I’ve waited ages to find someone whose beauty can compare If my poems were eulogies, you’d be nothing short of dead Because not romanticizing you...

Volcano Mind
My mind simmers— a volcano, waiting. Maybe it erupts, maybe it just holds, a silent threat behind every blink. It takes everything— to stay still, to not burst when no one else feels the fire licking the edge of my thoughts. Decisions burn before they’re made— Is it right? Am I right? Will this moment become another mess to clean alone? Life spills like paint no one asked for— a blur of colors no one...

Premium Member The Quiet Storm
I feel it all.. the highs, the lows.. The silent grief that never shows. I smile like I’ve not seen the fire.. But flames still flicker beneath the wire. I play it cool, a practiced game.. While inside burns a nameless flame. A storm of thoughts, both sharp and deep.. That churns beneath what looks like sleep. I’ve danced through hell at a...

Premium Member Heaven's Favor or Hell's Fire
Hell’s fire does not now exist for those who die apart from Christ. The wicked dead are food for worms As are the bodies of dead saints. But death for all is not the end. The God who made heaven and earth is God of life and not of death, and it’s his will that men should live. When sin brought death, He...

As I find myself eating some of Deborah’s fresh bakes chocolate chip cookies…. (please, don’t ask me the amount) because warm chocolate chip cookies is one snack you need not keep a count! As I was saying as I was eating a few of her cookies… (and in their deliciousness as I write this…I continue to partake) I began thinking...

Premium Member Body Possession
Twisted and taunted, I stood in the wintry path where sparkling silver slivers of mercury searched for their brethren to merge as one. Colder than my path, a clammy cold from the nitrous night, crept through as winter winds coming from the chill of the grave, and blasted me with icy shards, scraping at my bones and freezing my soul. Its harshness racked me as...

Blaze Your Fire
It’s three o clock in the morning, Massaging her body while she is sleeping, The rain is coming down, it’s pouring, Covering her curves with my motion, No words but our bodies are our language, She’s got me caught up in her potion, Tonight I might fall in her river and hopefully I won’t drown oh no, Blaze your fire, Burning desire, Me and...
