The Beeping Heart in My Pocket
A pixelated egg held in my hand, A digital life I had command. Three buttons small, a tiny screen, A world within so bright and keen. The beeping sound, a constant call, Demanding care lest it should fall. Hunger pangs and happy chirps, A delicate balance with little quirks. I fed it bits of digital treat, And played small games, its joy complete. Cleaned up...

The Chaos in my Heart
A gift of perpetual silence, from a deafening scornful frequency; Eternal tranquility, we chase, so is it considered victory? Victorious it must feel, for the one who departs; The halt prior to mine, leaving a chaos in my heart....

Premium Member The Heart
For most of my life I had heard it said, 'Follow your heart'. It made sense to me. Only a few years ago did I hear someone say, 'Do not follow your heart; Lead your heart'. Someone has also said, 'Lead, follow, or get out of the way'. What shall I then do? Upon hearing the word, LEAD, I knew immediately. I...

Premium Member The Chaos in My Heart
I don't know of anyone who's been successful in an attempt to capture the encumbrance of a love pledged and then withdrawn, nor how to heal a heart from its fallibility. So, I'm left wondering... when did the shallow waters of intense love become too deep to tread? When did the waves thrash so powerfully that I was unable to keep...

The man in me
Well-moulded into handsomeness by God, Behold in me a true and noble man. None meets my aura without feeling awed; Even my foes admire me as a fan. Come close—meet a man with a tender heart, My sweet smile enough to make your heart move. I smell good, walk with grace, and dress with art; I am gentle—peace-loving like a dove. I'm good...

Pining Heart - Sijo Trio
Pining away into the cosmic dust everyday Faster than the second hand flies across the face of the moon Changing its course in an elipse of untold counting. Here lies the one that got nowhere with no one on the earth, The burst of flames made the way that told its ending would be soon Amongst the ashes of the...

Never Trust A Man With Sly Eyes
Does your so-called honesty only lead to tribulation? Honestly, life without you makes me feel nothing but blissful vindication- indication of all the time you stole out from under me. I was blind not to see the slyness hidden behind your eyes. And my foolishness nearly led to an early demise. But if you're a fox,...

In playground of imagination
I'll climb the tallest mountains with no stress, I just need~ a helmet, rope, and climbing gear, warm layers, good boots, maybe some fear, a bit of my heart in my mouth, to chase the butterflies from my belly— no need to fight against my shadow~ it'll be too light upon the rock, wrapping ...

Budget Ship
Mid-day vibration is coming to town and the people are running around getting ready for a big party to celebrate their musical history. More than a hundred ships are docked at sea And my beau is waiting for me, which ship he will board I can’t tell, I will only know when I hear the mid-night...

Brokenhearted Memory
You are a memory A reminder of a time that once meant something to me When it all ended, I thought I would be okay, but this time was different The pain creeped into my heart in an instant Wanted to rip the beating organ out of my body While crying to myself and whispering that I was sorry I was...

Percent of my Heart
My phone was at 87 percent. The day seemed heaven sent. Even though my friend was headed back to his home state. I still think the day went great. I’m at 48 percent still. As my phone rests on that window sill. I wonder if he thinks of me as a dusty file. I haven’t charged my...

The Last Exchange
While the sun was slipping away You left me With a gifted moment A moment that lessened fears Yet hastened tears A moment that spoke to me Yet set you free A moment that caressed my heart Yet put apart A moment that fostered giving Yet nurtured living A moment that clarified a decision Yet cleared my vision While the sun was slipping away You left me With a gifted...
