Lost and Found
Ohh prodigious tree, So how it feels now? To be surrounded by the serenity of charm The birds are finally gone, it's with you, your warm! Ohh prodigious cloud, So how it feels now? To shed off the burden, and sleep with the void The water without you is devoid But atleast, now you aren't paranoid! Ohh prodigious...

Moist sheets tossed aside soaked pillows Side by side She was wet Dime sack and tree rings Green sight meet brown peepers Plumb late April Boreal Plains humidity Abittor Unami eau de cologne Thin plain pink blanket on the window Air conditioner recirculating Salmon rays preen her face Noon spring afternoon the rain stopped the sun peeked in Bare cucumber blooms sticky seeds Hanging over pickled The...

Common
From beneath a veil, A shroud itself hidden, Anonymity It's masquerade. Tired secrets languish, Benighted by nature, Emerald, to pale green and white, from jade. A sough in the head, Of their tepid maker, Whispers nothing, wholly unaware. Crafty camouflage, For the crafter of secrets, Who never knew they were there. The irony aroma, Stagnant blood without pressure, Metallic, unmoved, unaffected. Averse to sense, Illusory marionette's, Clear strings, turbid skeins undetected. And the...

The Me, Myself And I God Must Die
You who worship yourself, listen carefully. I won’t shout. I don’t have to. Truth cuts deeper when it’s whispered. You raise your hands high, but not to the God who made you. You worship the mirror. You exalt dust. You crown yourself king over a kingdom made of ashes. You pray, but only for yourself. You sing, but only about yourself. You preach, but only to glorify...

unrecognize myself
I look in the mirror, but don’t recognize, The person I see, with unfamiliar eyes. I want to shed the skin I wore, Leave behind the past, forevermore. The echoes of who I used to be, Feel distant now, they don’t belong to me. I crave the change, the clean slate, To leave behind what sealed my fate. No more the girl who...

"She looks just like you!" They say, and I beam! But they're saying much more than their saying seems… For I'd never say to her what I constantly say to me… ("You don't measure up, you can't be enough! You're ugly, you're stupid, just keep your mouth shut!") My mind in shock, my heart so hurt, To even think about speaking...

my soul in foreign lands, forgotten 1
The map unrolls, a skin of dust where landmarks shift like whispers lost to a gust. I trace a fracture, jagged, unfamiliar... place where my phantom feet wandered, chillier than memory allows. A tongue they spoke is lost... A melody unheard of, at dearly paid cost within the crumbling walls of an infernal keep... A cracked, blackened mirror shows a face though...

My Body Is My Friend
I stare timidly into the softly lit mirror, Its gaze staring back at me unrecognizable. I've been told this person is my friend, But its reflection paints a different picture. Its mixture mixes a mess of colors I never thought go together anyway. A bit ghostly. I trace its outline carefully - A bump here, a dent there, extra padding everywhere - So...

Premium Member The Heart Of Night
The heart of Night pierced by first light, Dawn gives birth to a brand new day. And wildflowers instinctively; begin opening their petals. Shadows scurry back into cracks, the heart of Night pierced by first light. And color steps from the shadows, as the moon completes its cycle. A spectacular sun rises once more, to push back the darkness. The heart of Night pierced by...

Unique
As waves crash onto the white sands of the Los Roques la playa An angel w/ a coconut aroma, long tinted hair and Bronze tan line emerges as the sunset glistens Her beautiful curvatures With one glance of her eyes Radiant smile The world slows down to capture Her unique presence As she glides up the coastline As the sunsets She sips on a fresh...

Anger smolders like burning coals; igniting flames, consuming souls. The Gaza Strip is bombed in mass, and hearts shatter like fragile glass. Torrid tongues of fire lick the sky, tasting Death as the jets scream by. And there is no safety in caves or basements that morph into graves. Crimson blood stains the hands of God, yet, Israel doesn't find that odd. For words scrawled...
