Give me such grief, O God
Ere I die, such a life give me, O God, Awareness unaware of me, O God, So that my heart’s pain hover not on tongue, Lifeless helplessness so heavy, O God, That, on gulping oceans I go quenchless, Give me quenchless quench so dreary, O God. Give me downpours of pain, night of sorrows, When did I say make me happy, O...

Premium Member Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory
Give me one last night of silence in the cosmic temple of ancient memory, Where shadows dance with light in circles of fire and hidden divine grace, To touch with trembling fingers the stars from the cup of the thirsty soul, To drink from the black wine of eternity, from chalices filled with moon's blood. Give me one last...

Premium Member Just Give me Paints and Some Brushes
just give me paints and some brushes, the little girl said. She had drops and drips all over her face and her head. Her overalls were saturated with paints in reds and blue. What else could we do? Asked her mother, what else could we do? She painted her way through college, covering canvases galore. Sixteen hundred paintings, and maybe...

Give Me Horses
I’ve ridden long ’cross windswept land, Seen men lie with a shake of hand. Smiles can fool, and words can bend— But a horse stays honest ‘til the end. People come with masks and games, Talk in riddles, shift the blame. But a mustang don’t play make-believe— He gives what’s real, not what you need. A horse don’t gossip, scheme, or plot, He don’t...

As time passed on, JJ sat and watched The waves washed up onto the words, Slowly encroached, engulfed and wiped Them...
