Premium Member What hangs in the balance
A moon hanging low amidst the glitter of stars, my heart's aflutter with dire anticipation. Together we cast golden coins in a fountain, the darkness of the night oozing with mystery. My heart's aflutter with dire anticipation, the unmistakable scent of love fills the air. Always the thought of you occupying my mind till I summon your familiar voice in the night. Together...

November Hangs On
November hangs on To a blanket made of cold and grey To the bare branches of trees clinging to the sky for the last precious moments of warm sunlight Counting every minute of the shortened days November hangs on To being surrounded by memories on its long dark nights The way our empty hands grasp on to the comfort...

I fear the morrow - caged by past, I rip apart; yet today's growth blossoms....

Winter, and All Hangs by a Thread
Black thorns amid snatching twigs form sky-torn nests, where deep red berries hang from dark bones. Autumn tracks have settled into annealed ruts, those static waves of the fridged and fallow fields. There are still small birds singing in the shredded shapes of the wind, scattered voices that rebound from ear to ear. We are huddled, yet solitary, separated by inward distances. Farms are folding shadows, gathering-in the years thin linins. Beneath...

The Land Question Hangs
In a world where the land question hangs, A plight unseen by the oblivious eye, Lies the essence of fairness, as it clangs, Echoes of justice, as time passes by. For land holds power, both concrete and vast, It shapes the destiny of those who dwell, A struggle unfolds, present and past, A battle fought through...

Premium Member Cat Hangs Around
Where did Ms. Cat go? Just hanging around. Snicker. Snicker. Is this a cryptic message or what? I ask another neighbor. Sure, she is hanging around, he says. Then he laughs. I finally find her tangled in the window blinds. Funny! I tell the others. And really kind of you to help her down. It actually takes three of us. Two have to hold the blinds...

A Cowboy Hangs Up His Spurs
I used to ride from dark to dark For wages that were thin Then saunter up to Shorty's bar And he'd say."Where you been?" I'd drink a lot and tell some lies 'Til I got drunk of course When I ran out of cold hard cash They'd put me on my horse Then one day my hair turned silver I lost a step or...

Heavy Hangs the Head
I am misunderstood and distracted I am empty and cold waters I am frustrated and it shows in my sighs, in my silence, and in my answer to everything My space is too narrow My company is too focused As my words are far too dark for vision I am a lost thought in love, Like forever chasing a wind I am tomorrow’s...

Premium Member She Hangs From the Beams
She hangs from the beams from way up above, Sways not making a sound, Patiently waits to be noticed by me, Patiently waits to be found, With sun pouring through the hole in the wall, Pouring all over her torn, Her beautifully dark, broken down clothes, Her clothes that she had once worn, And she looks straight ahead, not...

Here's the slogan, which hangs over my bed. "Intimacy, my friends, do not propose to me. I hate an intimacy, my preference instead, The grouping sex, of five, of four or three."...
