An evanescent bouquet of skewed briars,
is how a tinsel laden tawdry essence wickedly unfolds,
scuppered signpost to a fetid human compost,
faint light pendant on soul crushed quantum migrant,
who might chortle at vivid veil flimsy vacuum,
skirt recklessly...

All my thoughts evolve around you
Like planets orbiting the dazzling sun
All my dreams were spent on you and you were my priceless diamond 
But, all of my hope is shriveling away
Like paper in the raging...

Absolutely enchanting I thought ~

As I drew the curtains wider, to allow in a bit more light....

Returning unto the canvas and dipping my brush

Into a slightly brighter shade of beige 

Thinking perhaps just a touch...

I try to describe my self,

To ascertain who I actually am.

To uplift the self,

I finally have to give a damn.




I always wished to pen,

Just didn’t know as to when,

And how to ascertain,

A shot that’s nowhere...

My fingers brush aside the Sandman’s sleep as I awaken on this April dewy-morn, to find

not from the rising sun, but from...

Have a lovely day, Yours Ian.T
 
New Woods
I will take you,
Where you should be.
Enclosed and safe,
But also free.
 
Where as a youth,
I spent many an hour.
The songs of the birds,
The show of flowers.
 
Turn to...

Your love blemishes me with bite marks

You brush aside the crumbs…now I’m stomped...

A New Song a New Start
written by Magneeta Sojourner
As the day and weeks ran behind me
looking for the truth
no answers to my questions
though I’d sifted though it all
Breaking from the silence 
when nothing else would...

on a cold windy night
just after a bath

combing her wet hair
the color of sunset
thick to the small of her back

eyes of rose colored crystal
lips of a warm winters twilight
full and moist
loving the way they part...

1955 Was a Very Good Year

By Elton Camp

A better year in my life I have never seen
Because, back then, I was only age fifteen
Nobody I knew had, at that time, ever died
Any problems of the...

On the wind-swept Nebraska prairie sits a building in wretched shambles,
Surrounded by a sagging fence and overgrown with prickly brambles.
It was once a bustling one-room school house, abandoned long ago.
Its weather-beaten clapboards, I judged to...

And if by love they should be saved
lift them by angels
in innocence to a horizons trumpet

They who have fallen unnumbered
to the hate of bullets
and the factions of brush aside politics

And then by flag those nations...

Cursed
I was cursed from the moment. The sperm hit the egg
 that laid inside my mother’s womb 
I was cursed with the DNA from both sides of the family. 
I stood no chance born into...

In search of something yet unseen
And as I reached the hill's crest
What I saw below I felt truly blest.

I very carefully made my way down
Toward the little grove of trees...

Forget your Greek grammar,
And your algebra, top set,
Brush aside history, economics even if your grades are a sure bet,
And I'll tell you why,
For knowledge money cannot buy,
And that's cake, yes cake.
Whether it's cheese, chocolate or...

Sprout out the doubt
In your social, business, romantic or spiritual life aspects
Buttressed by the clout
Normally evident in several respects 

With undaunted determination to improve prospects for success
As the going gets tough
To diminish access
To debacles in...

You knew that from the Start
But don't let that dissuade you
Or even break your heart.

Bad times will impede you
And sometimes you get down,
They'll try to take you over
But you'll always cope somehow.

You can try and pretend the bones have realigned and began their mends 
You can hold your head up and brush aside the...

Woven in a lava oven and driven into the pit of despondency
Where light at the end of a tunnel dims
Parents explode and implode as darkness swamps ascendancy
Leading parents to wonder if their children curse their...
