Premium Member If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth
If I hadn't met your gaze in that void of youth, when I mistook impulse for absolute truth, When I believed carelessness was courage and threw words to the wind, not knowing they would wound deeply and painfully. Perhaps my words would have died unspoken, they wouldn't have deserved your silence full of meaning and pain, Now, when...

Premium Member I asked Jack, 'How can you stand to live in that box'
I asked Jack, "How can you stand to live in that box? Whiskey on the rocks?” He said, "Nah, it's much more mundane. I simply turn off my brain; then, turn it back on again, when someone else wants me to entertain....

Premium Member In that moment
Oh, ye teachers of the law And the leaders of the world of darkness. In that moment when the curtain was torn, The earth trembled while the sun was darkened from noon to three. Did it occur this self judgment Brought forth unto thou. How amazing the ones who had scriptures memorized into their corrupt teachings. Would not recognize the Son...

Premium Member I wish to lose myself in that delicate and gentle light
I wish to lose myself in that delicate and gentle light, in a fragile morning that dissolves into nothingness, to be pure madness and silent peace like a dream, completely forgotten, impossible yet desired. I wish to collapse into the grass untouched by steps, with eyes fixed on the infinite and insatiable sky, to immerse myself in the scents of summer...

I Saw It All In That Moment
I saw it all in that moment. My life as a winding road: Hairs grey; Smiles crease; Friends who came; Friends who went; And you. A symphony of bird song; A hell of sleepless nights; The laughter of my children; Goodbyes I’ll dread forever; And love. Do stories die when they’re told? Does a life lived live on? I see the horizon. I feel my scars. Though less than yesterday, perhaps....

Premium Member In That Solitude
In the solitude of a winter evening, The lean river flowed gently down Through the silent countryside. At its bank, away from life, I looked Back then, with love, to my life and theirs.. ...

Premium Member In that long and sweet dream, like eternity melted into moments
In that long and sweet dream, like eternity melted into moments, you woke up beside me, your lips like a secret the world forgot, whispering 'good morning, my love' with eyes that spoke the language of love better than any written word, and you went to the kitchen where mornings come to life, preparing my favorite dish as if it...

Premium Member Put a Light in that Attic
There's a space with no light. So much crammed up there! Wonderful treasures in the front, Trash in behind. Images and memories all muddled together. Loads of ideas and half thought out plans scattered all over the place. Should have had some order! How does one clear their mind and start over? They say prayers, patience, some guidance and will power can put a new...

Premium Member O' Yes the Magic Power In That Massive Ancient Tree
O' Yes The Magic Power In That Massive Ancient Tree Down the magic forest trail, lay the ancient tree Its gnarled limbs, eroded bark and massive height I found that it had a magic effect upon me Never more so than viewing under gleaming moonlight Many times, I did that and each time was a pure joy As golden rays illuminated...

Maybe In a Different Life
Maybe , in a different life Under another set of stars There will be no open wounds Just only beautiful scars Maybe, in the other world All truth will be revealed Heavy hearts are filled with love All hurt is fully healed Maybe, in that galaxy We never have to hide A distant place That favours fate.... Where...

In That Late August Morning
In that late August morning millions of eyes were crying for the death of their king... they longed for his voice that was beyond thrilling! Elvis' life suddenly ended in an unexpected tragedy; nobody can say it was folly! A mourning widow held the small hand of a daughter who didn't understand the grief; her dad instilled in her the strong belief that...

Premium Member You Know, He Was In That Film
Watching a film I see a face I recognise But cannot remember his name, which is no surprise. I ask my wife ‘hey who is this guy, what’s his name? Before we both go back and forth, playing this peculiar game. ‘It’s erm, what’s his face, he was in that legal thriller’ ‘No’ I reply ‘he’s in that other film,...

In That Moment
We are in that moment sweet darling The wonderment of pain is upon us The trees are going to wail as they grumble Soldiers footsteps will be heard as they fumble We are in that moment sweet loved one The horrendous flashback of pain will descend upon you You stood tall way back when But...

Premium Member There Is a Ho In That Book
There is a ho in that book? There is a HO in that book! There is a HO in that BOOK! The kids get all steamed up. They jump out of their seats dancing and yelling. I am a sub, from a small town in Iowa. Where hoes are wholesome. And they make gardens possible. Chicago kids swiftly enlightened me....
