Premium Member It Is To Be
With the winding weary wings spread wide, I fly aimless in the turbulent air of discontent, across the fading hues of the ruined rainbow, where I get caught in the clutch of curling storm clouds. The silver lines disappear in the drape of darkness, where I see the birth of the rueful rain drops drain...

Cold winds Void whispers Silence in the shadows A world relying on forgiveness Hatred brings suffering Separation comes without being heeded And our paths are to be walked, alone Cold winds Unageing sceneries Empty hands Flames which burn for eternity Moods swell Comfort in the goddess Temporary world The stars hide and laugh at us Cold winds Cold hearts as well Words forced back Let's plunge in dreams Pools of amnesia ...

WOULD I?
Would I ever be the person I wanted to be? The one I would look up to, When things got hard. The one who makes me feel less heavy, At heart. Would I ever be her? Her, whose aura screams and wails, Of things unknown to this running world. Her, whose heart is tender, And soul is made up of fragments of her memories....

Have you lived in one of these three stages of life
(A reflective voice whispers) In the Dawn of a new feeling of Life, Maybe even at high school Did you embrace one of its golden rules To hold hands with someone you deemed so special Encouraged by first love's, sweet kiss For it to then carry you through, to meet the super cool, Twilight of your Life With the only...

Premium Member Deprived Of Your Love
Life doesn’t feel the same, My Darling, Deprived of your passionate love, Each and every day aimlessly drags on, Each and every day feels dreary and treacherous! Days were joyfully enchanting, nights were supremely blissful, Never realized parting was so acutely hard! But came a time there was turbulence in The relationship, a dark cloud covered our horizon! My heart sank, tears uncontrollably...

Life
Why for then do we loose The ire The anger The bitter abuse For love is all that we are in truth Yet seeing mankind through the eye of today Their pains Their angst Their wandering ways One questions the not as if it were Somewhere hidden down in the depths a curr still so the indefinite verity Making our lives less bereft Or even a melody ...

Don't put God second place in your life!
The most important thing to do, Is seek the One that created you. Jeremiah 17:5 says we are cursed, Whenever we put any humans first. A bunch of misfits that's who we are. Worshiping Musicians and Movie Stars! Let one of them die or be in trouble like you. And what is the first thing people do? All of a sudden they want...
