Fabric

Intertwined but the thread loosens.
Do you still feel connected?
Drifting slowly into pieces.
Fabric shredded, work of art.

Seama untangle in the start.
Have you not felt this? 
Turning twisted opposite directions. 
Fragmented linen, holes unsightly. 

This dreary separation strikes nightly.
Can you save this? 
Complacent attire, routine rags.
Still my favorite sweater.

Premium Member You’re Only Lonely

let fire eat your flaming tears
as your world stumbles and falls
landing on your glass shoulders
I want you to know—never
ever—wrap yourself in shame
step out in your wilderness
squint-eyed and confused, I can
umbrella your tears to rain
if you, so choose.

Premium Member Because I Care

I can pick up the phone and call friends from kindergarten
Some answer, others don’t
Most answer

Because I have nerve and verve and I want to be friends
and we have a history
and we love to share it

I am a listener
Sometimes I say “uh-huh” and “hmmmm” for an hour on the phone
While I paint and my friends ramble on and on

Some of the stories I have heard nine thousand times
I laugh like I have never heard them before
People love to be approved of, admired and listened to

I have friendships all over the place
because I care about people
and I let them know it.

Premium Member there goes my poetry writing time

my friend Susan has arrived at the restaurant early
way too early, Susan
way way way early
There goes my poem-writing-time

I put my notebook away
and fix my face into a crooked smile
hoping my “hello, glad to see you”
sounds sincere.

Premium Member Feathers on the Wind

Broken wings flock together 
But once they flew so very high
Now they wilt so tarred and feathered
Their spirit spilt across the sky

Broken wings mend together 
But not in the wink of an eye
They weep for their long lost feathers
With too many tears left to cry

Broken wings laugh together 
Once past pain slowly drifted by
The rain helped to mend their feathers
Now watch them fly so very high


She is waiting

She is waiting 

A woman of virtue 
The kind every good man needs 

She know her value 
She understand her worth 
So she wont go for no fool 


She takes good natural care of herself 
She need no recommendation to feel better 

Her head is focus to moral values 
She despise all urge of evil temptation 
Just to remain clean in soul and spirit 


She is strong and productive 
Yet despite all this good attributes
She is old single and waiting

What we gone do

I don't understand this trend
I don't like where we're going
In. 
Somebody who don't like me and
Never did
Wanna see me baffled when she
has her first kid
To be the there common ground
To be in luxury when I am unwhined
Don't wanna be the bruint of your
Jokes 
At least with her I have hope

Babe ain't no dispute when I am with you
Adagio Bassia see-ah
There ain't no dispute
Tell that puke-fool of yours to leave me alone
Like the Dells said when all the Goodies Gone
Is it shame on me
Want you in my corner
That's how a true love should be
Nah but you got them phrases 
Like I am a ho
It like this
I that and simple
Get it right to app the oah
Let your ex be your coach

Let say it's so like it's ah movie
Got your grooving stufguess you tryna groove me
To marry me takes
Ah thyme o fair
Couple shall we
Groove me if you dare
I want your baby
Cum inside me
Don't that sound real crazy
Spent my thyme wiff you
Tell me what's next
Tell me what we going do

Bridge over Styx

Just like that —
Bridges fall hard 
Like a pile of sticks 
In your backyard 
Against deceit,
Be on your guard
And of betrayal, be wary 

A bond that lasted 
Twenty years 
One day, wake up —
Disappears 
A shroud of darkness,
Anger and tears 
Like a coal mine eating a canary 

So don’t look down — 
When you’re crossin’ that mighty Styx
And your friends line up for the gauntlet
As they try to get in their licks 

A friend in need?
Who needs that?
Inconvenience 
Is like old hat 
And we won’t sit where 
Poor dupes have set 
On the idiot stools of loyalty 

Yeah, selfishness
Is a better bet 
Bet the coins on your eyes
What you can get 
From the shore of memory, 
The sun will set 
And each of us will feel like royalty

So don’t look down 

Tryin’ to make a safe passage
Into later life 
But holdin’ onto old relationships 
Is like standin’ on a sharpened knife 

No don’t look down — 
You’re crossin’ that River Styx
Where your friends line up for the gauntlet
Tryin’ to get in last licks

In My Eyes

In my eyes, alive I see
A place I wish to be.

In my eyes, alive I see
A way I wish for me.

To be alive and to know
My friends as friends go,

To face my way and then
Conquer my fate again and again.

LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN

This he said
As he set his sails
After a life well-lived:
“Friends applaud, the comedy is over.”

Life is indeed a comedy
We stumble on stage with unsure steps
Forgetting lines, forgetting reasons
Yet our friends, the audience of our hearts,
Smile at each misstep
As if every flaw belonged to the script.

They gather in the glow of laughter
Not to judge, but to share the moment
Their eyes remind us softly
That worry has no place here.

Choose your crowd wisely
For quality friends
Are the true measure of a quality life.

Premium Member Share

When life seems overwhelming and your thoughts begin to stir…
When the future you once saw becomes a distant blur.
When you have a thousand questions and all you ask is “Why?”
When the answers to those questions make you want to cry.
When your heart feels heavy and the weight’s too much to bear,
Find the strength in your feelings, come to me, and share 
The overwhelming times in life that makes your thoughts stir, 
And I’ll help you reach your destination somewhere in the blur.
I’ll try to help you find the answers and hold you when you cry.
I’ll help you discover the reasons to all those questions “why?”
I’ll try to carry the extra weight that seems too much to bear,
And I’ll show how much I love you in the feelings that we share.

More Than A Soft Toy

To her mum's spanks,
let her cry on your tender shoulder,
oh, soft toy Teddy,

Through all her sleepless nights, 
lull her to deep sleep
by her side remain steady.

When the weather burns hot,
soak her sweat away.
When cold wind whispers
let your warmth be ever ready.

Though you are a toy,
be more than that to her,
If you had a tummy
Let her feed you, as if you live.

Though, she dislikes your silver shade,
in the darkest nights,
let your brightness calm her fears.
Throughout her childhood 
even for a breath, never leave.

Remain her best friend;
though wordless, speak to her heart,
for only in your comfort she believes.

Such were the tender words of my aunt's sermon,
to my beautiful Eliza,
for she fulfilled each promise 
made to Aunty Jane
showering me with nothing but relief.

Joana, here I hand over to you Eliza,
from your grand Aunt to you my niece,
As it guided my childhood, 
let it guide yours too.

Keep it clean, take good care of it.
As I hand it over to you,
one day hand it over to your niece too,
a bond of comfort 
that will outlive just us two.

Seems like yesterday - Mystic

Your name was spoken,
overheard on a phone call.
I came to see you,
my friend from primary school;
clicked, chatted, like yesterday.

I hope you understand

I hope you understand a fact
That nature is indeed too broad
And me, I am too weak to act
But still need to tell it a bit more 

Of my sticking to an elite soul  
That you and I shared a talk to 
In the absence of your hands to hold
Yet, feelings are affluence to brew 

I breathed a breeze that you blow 
Of the flowers dancing before eyes
Blooming love inside the souls for you 
In the name of pursuit, with sighs

Once it placed unreachable in the distal
Not yet is the mind going to be hollow
