Hurting Earth
The earth is tired, can’t you see? We take too much, and set it free. The skies are gray, the rivers dry, Yet we just watch as time goes by. The trees once stood, so tall, so strong, But now they’re fading, something’s wrong. We hear the cries, the oceans plea, But still we act like we don’t see. We’ve lost the green,...

Save them that you hurt by hurting the world
You’ll kill your only dog because you don’t remember the sound of a bullet like him. The sea rises The sea consumes The sea doesn’t give back You’ll fear a never coming fire after you hear your cousin burnt alive and hide from the smoke you don’t inhale. The sea rises The sea consumes The sea doesn’t give back When you looked...

My Lonely Symphonies
My heart plays somber symphonies. It plays them exclusively for me. They are fragile and feminine. Breathtaking and melancholy. They perform songs of tragedy and cry out with sorrow but they are perceived by myself alone. Like an isolated violinist in a vacant theater, they are radiant but heartbreaking. My heart plays somber symphonies. Can’t...

Premium Member In between rain drops
In between rain drops of nimbostratus skies, he sheds salty tears at our ocean's demise.. Sharks with their peculiar odd strides, dead sea lions and whales wash in on oily tides.. Deep in the jungle where the lions abide, he hears the baby elephants cries. Alone, now orphaned from dawn til dusk, their mother's slaughtered to sell the tusks.. Acres of forests rich...

Premium Member Someone In a Fog is Hurting
Once upon a porcelain diving, At the dawn of my arriving, I heard something silly croaking, In the tub where I was soaking, Cautiously I caught him sneaking, To the spot where he was peeking, Skinny-dipping in my bubbles, Tripping me on all my troubles, Said the creature, to my sorrow, Love is here and gone tomorrow, Don’t be shy and shorn of laughter, Just one...
