Premium Member No more pride
Abusing the meek, Manhandling the weak, Pleasure, if you like to seek, Thinking that they don’t speak, Your life becomes very bleak, Once the torture reaches its peak! People will no longer be mute. If you change not your pursuit, It will bring down your repute; Very bitter is its fruit! Become not ‘The Narcissistic Sun’; You will be liked by none. Permanent is not your power; Hour...

Life is no length of happiness
Know, life’s no length of happiness, Imbued ‘tis in uncertainty, Life’s little but imperfectness. What defines life is fleetingness-- An artwork drawn on sands of sea, Life is no length of happiness. Scarce is eternity its case, Nor its goal nor end ever be, Its nickname is imperfectness That gives to life meaning, no less-- A raft to rescue from mid sea, Mere ticks define life’s...

A wolfs embrace
There is nothing like falling for a wolf. To which you would do anything for. After once wounding the wolf, there is not a length you will go to repay the wolf. For allowing his fangs in your neck means his bite may redeem your sins. So you let him bite and hope it is hard enough to leave you unconscious of...

Not One Inch Has Length
Heaven has not left the long dead bone, alert mouse whiskers, still move the seven seas. At the beginning and the end there is nothing to come, that has not come and is. Mammoths stride a thousand leagues, over a single blade of grass. One small sparrow - an Ark for infinity. All that is, is but one single event. The speckled hen lays worlds within worlds. The unbridled beaks of...

Full-Length Daydream
I smoke a blunt barricaded from the harsh sunlight by a striped canopy. You're taking a shower, I daydream of full-length mirrors, and soapy brown skin. The post card in my hand depicts the Roman Colosseum. Gladiators are still hopelessly fighting time. It's 1985 the world, as usual, spins on like a tossed coin. Make love while you can. Find the lady in the shower, wherever she is, don't just...

Arms Length
I want to write to you the endless paragraphs I dream about sending you, Then shut the door behind and never look back but what good will it bring? You’re too good for me, and I hate that. I’m fragile, and clingy, One wrong move and i’ll crumble. I hate you, I love you, I wish you knew how...

The Length of Time
The Length of Time Sometimes it takes the length of time to get us through our life, And Sometimes it takes a length of time to see us through our strife; Sometimes it takes the length of time to heal our troubled past, And Sometimes it takes a length of time to prove that we can last; Sometimes it takes...

Farmers To Not Forget Snakes
Planters who have to toil To have some food boil And the Digestive oil Start with 500 AM Soil, The Morning’s Freshness their strength; The surest way to take it to a length. Farmers should early toil In a cultivable soil But not forget snakes that goals spoil And The Carefully Planned foil By simply sliding in to coil. Snake could deal with a planter, In his...

Premium Member At Arm's Length
Just when we thought wars were well and truly over, done and dusted - Russia invades Ukraine. No mettle for friends to take up arms. to don the coat of arms and fight tooth and nail to quell the invader. Instead its alms that are offered and sanctions to starve and demean the invader's will to fight. It's a new World Order at arm's length....

The Length of the Sky
The length of the sky has no set limit, allow me to take you to the infinite... to the endless blue! Soon after the gleams if the awaited dawn, I wake up and find you near me; my hands touch you softly with gentleness, such mornings should be the happiest ones for anyone feeling down who eases his mind by calling forth pleasing thoughts and wouldn't lose touch of...
