Premium Member Apprehension
Apprehension a nasty culprit Putters outside my window, that mud pit Pulls, tugs, draws inward Rushing towards scared vineyard Emotions fresh, newly healed over Hoping to not once again spillover Every time my being is hit Nudged to stir emotions by some half-wit Somehow, they stick in the knife and turn Impale the tender taciturn Opening the door to boiling emotions Notions leave, fill me with...

Premium Member I Wasn't Meant For Heaven
The truth is I lie about the statue if anything if ever remembered, of the most controversial, I once had that vision and my mind was black like coffee no milk or sugar of empty sacks. You can't imagine as I was told to be next, as my brother's head was cracked in. I was frozen to the worse of humanity I...

At a Crossroads
Leveling up on serpentine curves — Dust-coated and desiccated — crossroads: Inebriated with floods, one length; Darkened with fumes of a puking mountain, The other stretch; Gale-powdered face of one breath stares at the Rumbling belly of the fourth....

Isolation
I It is dawn. Brother, rise. Let us give vent to the rising sun, and with claps of the Mind, welcome its waking ecstasy. Distances prevail — measured on the sun’s distance From the soils. Ephemeral, morn; so we shall set forth early to lay In our wake prevarications of morn’s trite. Let us wake the prelate and demand signs. Even the signs of time...

The time I looked at god
There was a time I looked at God with sea water in my eyes, drowning in a river of problems. I asked Him, with the last piece of devotion I had, why the Bible never told us that hell is not in the darkness beneath the earth, but in the light of the earth, right...

The Intensity of Inner One
Close your eyes and hold breath Count to ten and leave in air, I think you can feel rest on tenth Indeed,it's how you feel layer. The inner layer of own mind, In the deep ocean,you suppose If you dive,you can see many kind Of fishs and flora,and rise with close nose. And again dive in it to see, But I think you feel...

Snowwhite Moon Minichu
Where the pale moon's laying, Every tree flickers Her apple poison shading — Not every kiss is sweet, ~ Snow White ~ She's still chilled asleep my ties rise Where the pale moon's laying — Snow White Rise...

Premium Member Pondering a Hoarders Ways
why do hoarders keep their garbage? Their empty containers? Dirty diapers? Used dog pads? If you hate cleaning like I do, turn on the TV show, Hoarders. It is the best cure to my housework apathy. There are small paths in the houses they feature Hoarders don’t sleep in beds Beds are covered with stuff Hoarders live on piles of debris Their bathrooms...

A Philosopher’s Grief
We sit together in the shadowed halls beyond time— Plato, Socrates, Spinoza, Protagoras, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Kant, Descartes, Aquinas— our words once rivers, now dust in the mouths of men. I, Plato, speak first: “I left you the Sun, the realm beyond your cave of illusions— but you turn your face from the light, content with dancing shadows.” Socrates leans forward, his eyes burning with quiet fire: “I...

Premium Member HALCYON SPACES
HALCYON SPACES* Poem written for and submitted to Brian Strand's #1403 Contest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I notice the halcyon spaces between my thoughts. Thoughts come and go, but spaces are always there—between written words, between objects, between thoughts, between sounds, between words, between musical notes, and inside a cup—around and inside it. Spaces are everywhere. They’re all the same spaces,...

Leaves
The bicycled leaves pedal across the lawn chain-linking me to a past fallen autumn. When we Could no longer be false, exposing our true feelings. We withered from the cold. Trying to rake in "Why's" but sometimes love leaves, unspoken. ...

I sometimes feel like the razor sharp of a bean tins'e edge may one-day be my best friend, I hate to feel like my venom, can only be drained away as I sleep well past Mid-day. I hate the sight of red, but its not instantaneously, I lose so much as I bleed, Its taking like a fasting, I don't wish for pro-longed of another sad...

YOU MISS ME NOW
songer.co/song/epzclpaimyh9s5cai9h5ub15 [Verse 1] I cried in the kitchen, you looked through me I asked for your heart, you gave me your need I stayed through the silence, through cold and pretend But love isn’t love when it won’t let you in [Pre-Chorus] I held it together, threadbare and torn You only looked up once the feeling was gone [Chorus] You miss me now, but you...

CHASING YOU
songer.co/song/rp46aipglmzluwbnxswcz42q [Verse 1] The lights are flashing, but girl, I’m stuck on you, Like chasing fireflies, but you slip right through. The fair’s spinning wild, but you’re the only thing I chase, You act all cool, but I see that smile on your face. Laughter fills the air, kids screaming loud, But all I hear is you, standing out in the crowd. Your...

SMOKE IN THE MIRROR
songer.co/song/yo0fzxviemznpn1djgo9w8ts [Intro] Smoke in the mirror, haunting my sight, Shadows whisper secrets in the dead of night. Face don’t fit in this cracked reflection, Searching for a sign, but it’s just rejection. [Verse 1] Heroes crash with a hit and a hiss, Life's a gamble while we play like this. Gold teeth shine, but their glow is dim, Dead eyes stare, where did the hope...
