Premium Member harbor snow
I watch the harbor through the falling snow the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow the scene draws me, as if hypnotically. Five mile’s lighthouse warnings go unvoiced its strobes not lashing out, so what’s its point it stands majestically but disappoints replaced electronically A tiny lobster boat makes its landward way towards...

The gentle purgatory invites me, my harbor, If a man doesn’t belong in hell or heaven, Neither in life or love, where does he belong? To his forever home, where he shall rest…...

old man from the harbor
After midnight, an uncle was born a newborn. In the center of the Buddhist room where incense smoke lingers He was born sitting on his haunches He stood up, his legs trembling “I really wanted to be a steamboat.“ He was a troublesome man. So the next day, we went out to the harbor in the morning. Uncle Pulp was armored up with...

Safe harbor
She bore the weight of a stormy past, Waves of sorrow that forever cast. He carried burdens, heavy and deep, Scars that whispered, secrets to keep. They met in twilight, where shadows collide, Two souls adrift, seeking a place to hide. In shared glances, a silent plea, A yearning for solace, a longing to be free. He offered her shelter, a safe, quiet...

Premium Member Pearl Harbor I
A heedless world implodes beneath the weight and all the West lies smoldering in flames. And nay a soul finds shelter from the hate as dire evil seeks intended aims. The despot waves of fire and iron roll upon whomever lies within his path. The gravity of war has taken toll and half the globe is swallowed in its wrath. But darkness slowly...

As solitude neglects the Harbor door the Heavens fill with vengeance from the sky, and all below can only watch them soar for crippled decks were useless to defy. The devastation rendered from the clouds destroyed the birds of war that sat below. They turned to ash beneath the fiery shrouds thus, never to ascend to face their foe. But ‘tis in lore...

Beneath the ash its morals face defeat as segregation separates is corps. The scars outline a union incomplete and wounds define its failure to restore. Though rally calls have filled a Nation’s heart and motivation fueled its vast machine, supremacy held unity apart and nothing but conceit lay in between. But still a Nation mustered to the rail as casualty arose from ‘neath the...

sails in the harbor
When you see a white sail in the harbor of Brest, A sail under a burning sun, It’s a nagging sail, She has not the tranquility of a sail on the Nile, Her mind is not at peace, her conscience torments her, This sail flees life; it does not enjoy life, So are most of the things we like In This...

Premium Member In the melancholic depths of my heart, I harbor a secret
In the melancholic depths of my heart, I harbor a secret, A syllabic enchantment, sweet as a Shakespearean sonnet; A secret so delicate, if revealed, it would melt you, Its sweetness would seep into you, its pulsating passions Would make you dream and leave you yearning, with lips bitten by desire. Within my heart, I conceal a secret of grandeur, As...

Unprison in my heart, Unlock words I struggle giving; Like the flutter of a lark, Wing what's coming from within me; Let my soul be set on fire, Like madrone, or manzanita, To promote the words I hide; Ascribe my life to rightly speak up –...

Sunrise was just a red line in the inky void, as Lisa and I reached the harbor decking stairs, but at once, the brazen slash began widening, like a silent, slow motion explosion, thin, smoky wisps of cloud, like flammable tissue, prismed the stage light ignition. bee-de-deep my phone chirped. It was Peter (my bf). “Hey you,”...
