The Ledger
In smoky halls where echoes groan, they carved the truths in tempered stone, yet none recall the scribe who wrote— a chap in boots and mismatched coat. His quill was plucked from harpy's wing, he’d hum while making corpses sing, and in his book, no saints nor rules— just jesters crowned as sacred fools. He’d scrawl: “The Pharaohs danced in socks,” “Atlantis sank for...

Premium Member Ledger of Love: PART II
Ledger of Love In the shadows of the Victorian night, Where candles flicker with amorous light, A forbidden love fiercely burns, In a pounding heart, passion yearns. Amidst the lace and satin array, Where masks conceal bygone dismay, A dance of desire, a lover’s embrace, In the clandestine rendezvous of covert grace. Beneath the veil of societal guise, Two souls entwined, beneath starry skies, One bound...

Premium Member Ledger of Love: PART I
Ledger of Love In the dim-lit chambers of the Victorian home, Resides a wife, her heart a silent tome. Once, love’s flame burned bright within her breast, But now a thin whisp, a ghostly jest. Her gaze averts from her husband’s weathered face, As she tends to her duties with an air of grace. Yet within her heart, no ember of affection...

The Divine Ledger
I was born with a number of handicaps: My mother’s myopia, and Dad’s hairline, Mom’s high blood pressure, My father’s sleep apnea, And a human being’s mortality. Surgery has improved my sight. One pill each day keeps my blood pressure down. A CPAP machine cured my snoring. I’ll just live with the baldness, But nothing cures the mortality. So I will try to get...

Ledger
Hereto while my soul lies dying, throttled by the winds of change, hobbled by the wrath of ages, nothing but a gasp remains. There abides a wisp of pity tempered with a shred of grace, an iota of compassion on this saint/sinner's face. I'm not meant to meet my maker till I've done what I must do to set the ledger to His liking, strike...

Hereto, while my soul lies dying, throttled by the winds of change, hobbled by the wrath of time 'til nothing but a gasp remains. There abides a trace of mischief tempered with a shred of grace, an iota of confusion on this saint/sinner's face. I'm not meant to meet my Maker 'til I've done what I must do to set the ledger to His liking, strike...
