Heartfelt honesty is what I need from you Feeling held hostage in my own home too It’s untrue what you say — I’m so-called genuine Thanks for your kindness today, but where have you been? I exist for a purpose… I still feel hopeless… I’m making little progress I feel rather helpless… Held hostage at home all the time All the time, all...

Premium Member Whisperings of a Hostage
People from all nations running for Their Lives, Pursued by Hamas. That day 1,200 were slaughtered. International hostages died! Few live ones do remain. I do not even know what day this is! Nor month, or even, what year! For I live each day within a clock. Whose only sound ticks away endless,fear! I have no mirror to see my young face, Just...

A Call For Peace Now
This is the news, a dream of peace, an echo from the Middle East, where children cannot understand, the broken bones of broken lands, their only hope, for war to cease. Every imam, rabbi and priest, can hear the loss for those deceased, while leaders watch or wash stained hands, this is the news. Hope is a hostage for release, a call for all...

The Tower
It was covered by a blanket of moss with a wood fence that looked as sturdy as a young child’s craft project, stretching across a patio, the memory of jazz. It had a tower on the balcony, reaching towards the moon in the midnight sky. A witches’ tower made with alchemy in which a kidnapped girl, hostage, would cry. It has a...

At 6 am, the beach is nice; And I am headed for a stroll. At 7, sun is poking out, I guess I’m still glad on the whole. I turn around and head back home; The half-way thoughts somewhat console. By 8 am, the sun is hot; I’m drenched with sweat from head to toe, But I can see the house ahead, A few...

Through the Rear View Mirror
You were in the rear view mirror of my life That one chance encounter to last a lifetime What a wonderful day it was Frolicking about the pool two strangers in a foreign land The ocean waves beckoning us to foray into unknown territory Sea urchins, star fish, and shells waiting for us to join them in dance The heat of...
