Purging sin out of my life or attempting to rather,
We had many fun times together…
There are plenty of grapes, strawberries and flowers to gather…
In this garden of We’ll-Get-Better…

My lovely sunshine,
Will you ever be mine?
Someday…on a...

Death...death...like a cold, distant fog
it looms over these beings
these frail human beings, myself included
attacking their defenseless, quarrelsome - filled minds
like ravenous carnivores sprinting upon their prey
I've counted three, thrice has death sent for the reaper

8.

As the people, sadly, walk through the gates,
they firstly bow before Turvehr, their honour dictates,
honour is shown to the Dark man, 
whose great glory known, before coming of man.
The history, the mystery, 
the great glory,...

Don't take this as an ordinary joke

While I was in the middle of an
Enchanting dream,
You blew my pathetic mind 
I tried to sharpen my senses
Shadows were encircling my eager soul
Rising from dimming skies
Chasing after the...

Closed up, wrapped up.
Please don't touch me. 
Back away, I don't need it.
I can't breathe. 
I have tears, and I'm in a state of panic.
I was waiting to make the right move.
Questioning how to show...

Burke Bowden rode slowly through the piney hills
outside the mining town of Tillico.
Hiding himself there in the Montana woods
where decent folks would rarely go.
He had good reason for being out there alone.
The bastard Banks Grisby...

Jealousy runs through my veins
I know that I have tons of brains
Regretting the fact that I'm so selfish
People don't understand me as if I'm talking gibberish

Pre-ch: Throw all of your flawless doubts 
Embrace possibilities that...

This is a broken emptiness
So surrounded in fixedness you can't get at it
All I've ever wanted, I'm that
But in disorder
Unoriginal amongst poets
My drama is bound, I won't let it out
All doors remain shut
I dare not...

Passion and love
By Michelle Morris
10/04/2022

Passion and love so often confused
Only time reveals the roads we choose...

Oh-oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh... 

Sparks with lovers can pull you down
Sparks with lovers is how you drown
No one can touch you now
No...

In my wildest dreams I never thought I'd see his face again,
Though so often I retraced it in my mind,
To live the life he wanted would to me have been a sin,
Yet often still I...

"Er, What's up, Doc?"
the doorman will say
his partner snickering behind
as you pass by the open doors 
into a hall of guitars and music posters
you peer into rooms with televisions 
or children playing with battery powered...

That day, I could hardly wait to see you again
I drove those three hours just to stare into your eyes
Only to leave in the morning not long after the sunrise
"Call me when you get off...

Oh, noble beast, you stand before me muscles quivering in fright
wanting nothing more than to flee. Unable to break or jump the
bars, you blow steam from flaring nostrils and paw the ground.

Once you ran free...

Everyday started out the same before.
People would be close,
but not too close.
We would hug,
kiss,
and greet each other.
Meet with friends and family on the weekends.
But now our world is turned upside down.
Overnight we were isolated,
life held...

THE  NEST

It was during the summer of 2014,
We were about to get into the car,
When my wife and I looked across the lawn,
And saw something that was quite bizarre.

There was something that was hanging,

The Visitor

I don't know what it was that woke me, just a vague feeling of movement
In the early pre-dawn darkness at the bottom of the bed.
I could just make out the curtains blowing idly round...

Do come, my love, for I insist!
Within the darkest crevices of time, we fight, we cry, I die
As vision gives us knowledge, we descend farther into the grime
Curiouser and curiouser, we fall in dark crevices...

to chase away the blues that day, 

holding you close and in my arms, 
promissing you...
