Premium Member In Stars Above
I’m the Swarovski pearl of an origami dream, sailing amidst superficial salt, soaked in sinister sparks, floating like deceptive debris and artificial aquamarines. As the sea weeps luminous lies, the truth rests in stars above, mirroring phrases written on tales of the island that seized the light within the heart of the ocean, while you and I remain anchored to the bleached reefs, where corals grieve in chromatic...

Premium Member Bride of the Sea
Ships sink to bottom in billowing sea; "It's in that number," apparent to some; Walking the coast, "I'm no widow," said she; Either await or admit it won't come. How many years did she wait for that ship? Youthful and vibrant to aged and gray; How many courses of life she let slip, Married to breakers that crash on the quay. Surely, we...

Intact
Jewels rolled down your shirt— for a moment, your shoulder turned to rain. We lifted our eyes to that infinite blue and just as swiftly, twilight fell again: another star kindled beyond the sky’s edge. I’d fold a thousand cranes for you, or chase a million scattered stars. What fate is this, where light refuses to dim? Where debts of love lie quietly...

Premium Member Life is so Much Sunnier Now
Life is so much sunnier now just knew it would be somehow After decades of delay when inertia held sway My mental stones gathering moss… I at last pulled the plug on my addictive a.m. drug: No more newspaper...

Far Away
Inspired by "Far Away" A song by Breaking Benjamin (featuring Scooter Ward) ........................................................ Souls grope for lost hopes within to spark the heart, When the last beat still lies cold, dead on the street, It is then love fades–blood split right from the start— The truth of war no soul can come close to cheat. Soil we'll still become, yet our...

Premium Member THE WAKE WITOUT VIGIL
THE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL Time longer than rope Chokes hearts dangling In the reality of struggle:- Grieving mothers and widows Veil their grief in sagging bosoms As they wail in excruciating silence:- Fragments of men, void of hope, View and count communal graves Swelling with dirt burying the dead:- (Buried are “The Wretched Of...

Premium Member Calmness Midst Cemetery Call
Calmness bids me as grief strives to cease Enabling sincere thanksgiving-prevalence Midst gloom, hiding serenely still while Exemplifying grace under pressure... yet Tears cannot anymore control their fall Exposing prayer of my heart for closure Recognizing heaven's victory over death* since Yon the grave is eternal bliss with the Source of life. *1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave,...

Life Is Like Dyed Black
Sometimes life is dyed black. All you see are blackness Forgotten hope to look for. The day seems to be night, Sadness and emptiness in the heart. But life is the most wonderful gift. And even in the darkest night, There always light that guides our way....

Eternal Flame
Beneath the sky so vast and wide, A restless soul, a storm inside. Chasing dreams no hands can hold, A hunger fierce, a story told. Not fear, nor pain, nor fleeting doubt, Could dim the fire or snuff it out. Through shadowed paths, where few will tread, A voice within my heart has said: "Press on, for life is but a spark, A fleeting...

An Open Petal
Tall grass above a sleeping dream Hiding what His promise deems Embedded deep within the blades New whispers seed as life conclaves The sun to mirror God’s new day Each ray He grants new hope in play That rises softly through night’s travail An open petal — as Grace prevails (1st Book Of Prayers: May, 2025) ...

Behind the Grey
I'm searching the skies for a ray of light, But all I find are thick clouds creating night. I believe there is a silver lining behind the grey, I wish I could find it today. I breathe the air and it feels thin, I need to fight though it seems impossible to win. Even in the dark I need to hold...

Premium Member Cancer
Cancer is only for others, Walking its own quiet road: The smoker’s sigh, The alcoholic’s plight, The old tree, The young, the budding seed— Babies, life’s fragile heartbeat… Medical advancements—progress marching, Cures, new hopes discovered With each sunrise. Everyone wants to know. Everyone needs the truth. The truth is sad. Cancer, a path we think not our own… Is cancer only for others? ...
