Ode on Afternoon Thoughts
At the afternoon solitude sphere, Every sweet-lane empty seem, The sun on the top with chirruping hear, Dark in the room out it deem. The pressure hits passive-pace, All nervous gain, sense confuse, The white-pale depressive-face Look at mirror to know cause. Head-ache fills in mind's acres, Alone eyes still on some fills, Heart seize with harmful-hackers, Mild-mourn more remain in miles. The unpair-unfulfil life led down, Fall...

Premium Member Those We love
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Their murmurs, soft, in tree leaf whisper defrosts my heart that did grow crisper with grief that stained inside and out when I existed with my doubt that vanished voices of my yesteryear would come alive and stir the atmosphere. Breezy hands, they touch my shoulder, rustling lilac plumes and growing bolder— as...

Premium Member Both Sides Now
'Both Sides Now' on YouTube Music by Joni Mitchell Poet's lyrics: Bows on solemn flower blooms and scented layers of flared perfume flow down rows of headstones and tombs. I've looked at death that way. But now I tend to ask God why people still come and freshly cry. All know when our precious ones die He lifts them heaven's way. I've looked at death from...

The world now is overflowing with filters, fast five stars, and a multitude of clickbait. Society has become an abstract definition, devoid of any type of civilized boundaries. I want the honesty of naked conversation and the ability to discover truth for myself. We have a license to be phony. Go on I dare you, take off that mask....

How much do you love
Do you still love me Jehovah. If you do, why are my troblems so many. Why are my enemies like the grains of the sand. Why is calamity my predator. I am afraid to chose, to talk, and to act because the repocussion is like an untimely bomb. I chose to serve you, and yet...

ACROPHOBIA
songer.co/song/r8btoho3abg0psszqle86vkb [Verse 1] Girl, I’m caught between the thrill and the fall, Your shadow’s tracing cracks across my wall. Electric hum beneath my skin, Addicted to the mess I’m in. [Pre-Chorus] Whispers call me higher, but I grip the rail, Chasing sparks that flicker — I can’t bail. Every heartbeat’s a quiet fight, Lost inside your soft, electric light. [Chorus] Acrophobia, yet I’m chasing the highs, Hands shake...
