Stubborn heart
The Stubborn Heart” Stubborn as stone, he stands his ground, Words like rivers, he won't let them drown. Eyes set firm, with fire and pride, Even truth must wait till he's tried. He sees threats wherever he may go, Every word—a weapon poised to throw. Sharp as knives, his cold replies, Send chills down spines and truth to lies. He hides his pain, but...

All Of The Little Things Our Little Brains Remember For A Short Little While
Isn’t it odd? All of the little things that remain in our little brains? One day, you’ll be walking down the street, just minding your own business, when suddenly you’ll stop. A sight, A sound, A scent, A memory, Something you have never seen, heard, smelt, or even experienced before will catch your incomplete attention so completely. And send you to the most magical of places. Something from your childhood, Something from the small town you drove through last autumn. Something...

Big Ben
When asked, 'If the orchestra conductor had made an effort more concerted not to miss the concert and a sordid scene averted, would he have been less disconcerted?' "Don’t ask me, I’m only the drummer," replied I in chagrin. And, altho' the name of my favourite band is the one I am currently in, I do like the sound of the moniker, 'Big Ben,' it's...

Life is short
Life is short they say So you better make the most of it But what happens When that's not the case for everyone Where there are some Who are constantly changing freedom Whilst simultaneously hiding in the shadows Hoping to see tomorrow So how can one live life to the fullest When the odds are stacked against you But...

A Short Rain
A practice kiss with her hand Misses body, heart The droplets like her fall — She amasses their death Even inside, outside Let rain go no further....

Premium Member Dangling Short-Lines Over Water-Falls
Oh, dear reader of short-line poems, are you, like me, short of breath? Have you tried to read my short-shift stuff, with ever so short-lines, Aloud? It's sad to say it sounds a tad choppy! Like it's, ridin' on bobbin' seas, sailing into a head-wind over the air-ways. It rollicks along with carriage returns, unwinding, flowing freely from margins set tight, to waterfall. Sad to say, I'm done with it! For me personally, a poem is just a thought, a heady daydream...

Long Story Short: You Survived

Short
Short meet Yet such profound impact. No amount of force I impose upon self Seems enough to forget you. At the end of the day When I'm all alone, One query still bothers me- Is there still an “us"?...

Premium Member Short Rays of Envy
Parity e y e s, potency f l i p s! String bean was asked about his lips, Stretched out for drink of cool water. The desert wind, so hot, brought her - “Long Tall Sally,” with spikes of glass; With blue skies, standing in the grass. He strums the strings of Summer sun. Short rays of envy track the...

As an underdog given a short leash on life
As an underdog given a short leash on life alternately titled give one targeted scapegoat a break, an unquenchable thirst for moolah before I wake from nightmare of computer hackers. I tread upon the oblate spheroid along the edge of night glistening like a blade runner wielding a knife. Dark shadows hoover from the outer limits of the twilight zone illuminating one bisel...

A short breathless moment
For a moment your vision become blurred, Until you blink again and the tears stream down your face, Your shoulders are shaking from the force of your sobs, Your breath feels stuck, as if it’s just out of reach, Just take a deep breath, your going to be okay, I know that for so long, you’ve kept your sadness at...
