Premium Member I lay down in bed at 9 PM, seeking peace in the darkness that envelops me
I lay down in bed at 9 PM, seeking peace in the darkness that envelops me, beneath blankets that conceal the burden of a world full of noise and light, where their laughter and joy intertwine with screams lost in the night, paper hats flutter in shadows like faded dreams, cars glide down streets, carrying women and drinkers, in a...

Fear not of the undiscovered journey - the souls’s compass will show you the way ~ the poet When the curtain finally falls and angels soft chimed voices calls there are no mourning tears to seep Oh Lord, as I lay down to sleep. Time to set forth upon my way towards that...

Premium Member In your open palm, lay down celestial rivers for me
In your open palm, lay down celestial rivers for me, Where the earth ends in a deathless dream, From your gaze, as wide as the sea, adorn me with stars, And in your primal word, set the gate of life for me. Your hand, a thread of infinity, in a dance...

Premium Member In the realm where stars lay down a carpet of dreams
In the realm where stars lay down a carpet of dreams, A kiss becomes a temple, crowned with silent whispers, And the moon, guardian in the night, lights up her secrets, Pouring silver over our garden, eternal and fragrant. In the dance of destiny, lips meet, Silent chapters written across a starry sky, in endless presence, A gateway to the world...

Nothing Beats Silence
There is nothing that beats that time When I lay down that bed and close my eyes I might have not done it well Heck, I might not have done it at all But whatever, it means I am getting rest There is nothing that beats that moment When every conscious thought escapes me That feeling is just so freeing I forget everything...

Premium Member Souls and Bodies We'Ll Lay Down
“Souls and Bodies We’ll Lay Down” Ominous clouds have Invaded my soul; Thrust swords into my heart. Darker than the midnight air. Stars gone forever more. Bloodied hands in my dreams. I dream not of tranquility But of lightning and thunder Pain and hunger. I pray for your peace Your hope and honor. For blue skies and golden wheat. I pray that your Trident, Strikes the heart of...

She Lay Down
She Lay Down with fantasies; a warm surf ebbs inward. His fullness fills her. That night, more imaginings, a magnetic need becomes images, visions incarnate. The morning finds her washing her face, watching the mirror blush....

Lay Down Comedy
I’ve taught you well my young elder. The chosen path of the light was handed to you in a gift of sight as I gave you my eyes in a different life long before the land before time. Nothing exists except love and the energy it carries. In the giving of my gift you stole...

Lay Down
. for public domain Set fire to our mothers' graves, frenetic genetics is all the rave, give "Yesterday" a parting wave, reeling feelings now enslaved. Exchange a useless past for "Now", the Broken Tablets, the Golden Cow. Feel the breeze, the chill, the bone, bow to Nothing, burn the throne. Low chants that leave no hollow echo, betoken the trim of New Age deco. Holding flames...

Lay Down Your Arms
Lay Down Your Arms by Michael R. Burch Lay down your arms; come, sleep in the sand. The battle is over and night is at hand. Our voyage has ended; there's nowhere to go . . . the earth is a cinder still faintly aglow. Lay down your pamphlets; let's bicker no more. Instead, let us rest here on this ravaged shore. The...
