Premium Member Hit the Sweet Spot, Sweetie
Ever so sweet is kernel hub, the power button, so neat, tiny and mighty. But the sweet spot can sour with too much power to savor its glory. For to score is fragile, furtive and futile, when a near miss, catches the edge. It's easily bruised, easily abused, easily overused, overdone and missed. The soft spot sweetie, requires a gentle touch, with panache, pizzazz, flair and feeling....

When We Lose Our Voice or Imagine Being Surrounded By Singing Trees
There are many times, When we are stuck, Like when a player exclaims, “Checkmate!”, And our king falls, as it is struck. At that point, The game is lost, It is over, Despite how we were flossed. There are also moments, When we need to perform it right, There’s only one chance, To match time and heart’s delight. One of those occasions, Might be to propose, At...

Game on
I really thought you had my best interest at heart. Now I see you were just playing the part. Never thought all you saw was a game to try and beat. Never actually attempting to get to know me. All you needed was to know I aim to please. And that I've searched my entire life to...

Seeing Spots
Physicists may say, 'Random is not truly random, it only appears to be,' but another theory goes, (according to me) 'Not so when playing games of chance,' (and I have done the sums) for this experiment logic states, 'The odds in favour are 5 to 1.' As I spy with my little eye, seeing spots and counting dots on a regular die, (these don't go to 11) the...

Don't Miss Out On Experiencing Your Creator Playing Games
My children it is God's love we seek not a woman's or man. All humans are confused, no one understand. One encounter with the true God. Even church programs will seem odd! All the talk about money and tithe. Offering for prayer, is simply a lie. What we all should be doing is Lifting God high! One touch of His glory and...

Words at play
I'm holding on to a sentence no matter how long it runs. Without punctuation, the story is aways late. I envisioned a book with names for calling pages and pages still no answer. an exchange of ideas through a volley of words just trying to get a point across. A line with four corners that's the shape of a pen....

Grave Games
Temptation subtly settles sweet in barren brains forsaken frames, and hollow hands. When nothing's left is death a loser's game or a winners? Most games are rigged anyway I don't think playing is in my best interest...

Wordless Words
Wordless Words Countless times of talking, On the prepared table of meeting, Killing is a sin and a silly action, A sin that brings sorrow and suffocation. Holy books wisely say: We are equal in all ways. Now look at how the world dismantles, A peace broken down into...
