Premium MemberHug the Bard Song

I wasn't truly attuned to the Bard
Who tried to show cosmic significance.
On the dark moonlit forest's stage, he starred.
His Bardic thoughts defying arrogance.

I met the night Bard while he was singing
In chorus with Oaks of the magic grove.
Sprouting with seedlings was his beginning.
Raised in the forest, his true treasure trove.

This bounty lies protected by wet

A touch is a Hug for the Lonely

A touch is a hug for the lonely,
I thought as I sat on that plane.
The sleeping man beside me,
Would never know that feeling he made.

As his head nodded off,
His elbow extended to mine.
This little little tap
Echoed in a hollow mine.

I savoured such a warm embrace,
From the man that would never know me,
But I couldn’t help

A hug I never received

I know a woman 
who had lost her love
but had a small version
to cherish and enjoy...
Her life was never easy,
and her heart had never felt safe,
yet she cared, 
gave herself to the job
and the only tiny person
she loved and lived for...
Her son grew and
from the nest, he flew,
and she continued 
to love and live
for him,

CHILDREN'S DAY VIBES

Children never fake it!
True love comes from them
I've never seen
A child fake a smile 
Whenever they laugh 
It comes from their heart
Portraying their beautiful soul 
Without pains or hidden intentions.

Children never fake it!!
With innocent 
They emerge earth
Without sin
Imitating whatever 
They see
Watching whatever we do
Doing more of what we do than what we teach.

Children never fake

Premium MemberTHE THING ABOUT A HUG

The thing about a hug is how it can show up at the most unexpected time…
in the most unexpected place and yet…
when it does…chances are that unexpected hug is one you never will forget.

We sell socks in our bookstore (on a display stand we installed),
Colorful book-related socks that come in sizes large and small.

But the

Premium MemberSometimes, I just need a silent hug, like a blanket of stars wrapping around my soul

Sometimes, I just need a silent hug, like a blanket of stars wrapping around my soul,
Without words or advice, just a circle of arms saying they don't know what I'm going through, but they're here,
An unconditional refuge, where silence becomes music, and quiet turns into solace,
Just simple and true warmth, like a gentle fire in

Hug I Will Never Get


I carried the weight of the world in my hands,
Three small hearts beating through my own,
Raised on weary limbs and sleepless nights,
In silence, I labored — always alone.

I gave them my body, my breath, my days,
Stitched their childhoods with trembling thread,
Fed them with hours I didn’t have,
Wrapped them in warmth when the world felt dead.

I

Premium MemberHey Mom

“Hey, Mom”

Hey, Mom! 
I can’t sleep.
I’ve been awake for hours.
There are dragons at my door.
        “Come crawl in beside me,” She said 
	“I’ll chase them far away.”

Hey, Mom!
I stubbed my toe.
It hurts really bad.
       “Let me see.” She said

Unspoken Love


effortless synergy
attentive presence
abrupt broad smile
spark in the eyes as they meet
loud racing of the heart as it beat
soften touch of holding hands
youthful affectionate giggling 
passion conveyed from tender kisses
generated warmth from hugging
sensual coded body language
tantalizing yearn for togetherness
giddiness of knowing

Premium MemberPurple Dreams In Other Realms



Once upon a magical evening an enchanted fairy I happened to see 
dressed in a fantastical dress with two dappled wings of lace,     
she shone like the midnight sun; 
I must confess, she looked rather whimsical  
sitting there by a green wooden door, waiting for your lore!




Her arms as tender

Getting thangs 2-gather

Gold per ounce the weight of
the trophy
Sake denounced the intent of
The Songbird
Might love pronounce me in
announcement
Closer than my goals
to achievement 
Inspiration inspire
to such elevations
To make envy those
who opposed me
Inspiration quiet my foes
Into shame
Might they stand in such
Awe of me
Inspiration make my way
Clear, unopposed I might
Sooth my way clear
Might I stand to thank
thee
Inspiration make me
Worship thee

Magic Of A Hug

When we are deformed, sad
We feel the need to be protected 
With the help of a word 
A look, a handshake or a hug 
We manage to overcome difficult moments
Hugging cures hatred 
Cures resentments 
Cures anger and misunderstandings 
Cures fatigue and sadness 
Brings peace to the heart 
Makes peace to the soul.

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel

New song.
Let's be the Good we want to see in the World.

Note: "Kill" in this song is a metaphor for overcoming the Dark. No actual murder is being advocated. 

Kill the Devil; hug the Angel

I built you up 
Like a Devil in my mind
All your unkind words and deeds
A Darkness that you
