Creature In the River
A couple decided to walk
down to the park near the river
At that time, you could barely see
the crimson moon, just a sliver

Moon was always that color
on Halloween night.
Lexy was holding on 
to James hand very...

The Strongest Woman, Part I
The strongest woman that I ever saw
was born thirty-four years ago,
to loving parents who doted on her,
told he of the great places she’d go.

She was popular all through high school,
never failed to pull down straight...

10 Things That Suck
ONE:
At three in the morning the Internet calls out.
Come to the computer; visit friends round about.
All of a sudden, soon pulling hair out,
The lights go off, a total blackout…shutout!

TWO:
Dressed for the country, a total knockout,
In...

My Questions This Day
My Questions This Day

What are we doing with our patriotism?
Are we taking freedoms for granted?
Do we recognize subtle shifts in powers?
Will we ever, again, be able to fearlessly choose?
Or are we now over regulated individuals?

Need To Wake Up
One moment too late, a misconception
what happened to a time well spent
scorched by anger, bedeviled by sorrow, entombed by history
One day was thought to be bad enough
yet it expanded and a week was born
dwelling on...

Christmas Folly
I recall when I once sat,
Sticky spiders spindled about my lap,
Twisting and twitching within my place,
Lost to another incurable case.

Bent and broken, we struggled to find
A compromise between heart and mind.
Pretences built high, but still...

of late, a solitary fireman’s  sedate, sad  sobs
sought some balm for his own dreadful sighs,
missing the “arffs” of a terrier he so adored
his eyes slept alone on nights deep in aching ardor…

To Pamela
Come to me but only with a smitten heart,
		And I shall open mine before you depart;
		Or say the magic words but within a prose
		And say something about the scent of the rose.
		The love that from...

Premium Member A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Wedding
My cousin’s daughter was to get married
at a place some 80 km from the residence.
I was asked to drive her there and I agreed,
it was like my daughter’s wedding in a sense.

The Flowers of Evil
A dusk, a glazed verandah, it's just rained,
a smell of lilac, earthworms and wet earth,
an awkward silence - the confusion chained
my tongue: “What if she’ll laugh at? Is it worth?”
A glass of wine casts the...

The Reflection of Narcissus
Life passed, within an eye’s blink, like a reflection of Narcissus on a death pool;
A lover of a hypnotic time, a withering away in the end. Fossilized glory of a fool.
Silence heard the river of...

a free pass to a carnival of lost gravity

Now is it strange for me to say
at least on this so late a day
words occasionally come late
even though ever filled with hate
why must we our own kind attack
being so as we pain the blacks

Few Steps Behind
Your slipping away, I thought you would one day
But didn’t think the day would come so soon
If you jog through the memories in your mind,
You’d see, I was just a few steps behind.

Silence In the Night
Listen
Listen
Listen

Silence in the night
Whose bitterness
Encompasses the glory of the stars

What do you search for
What do you yearn for
What need will feed your appetite

Surely not here
With a soul and his memories
Waiting to join them again

Surely not...

This Lonely Night
This lonely night

Silhouettes and darkened skies
Nightfall finds a lonely heart
Wishes sent on winter’s sighs
Thoughts on velvet heavens chart

Promises of wind born flow
Shadows dance a slumbered song
Here beneath a full moon glow
Dreaming as the night is...

In poverty's grip,our childhood knew
We climbed the ladder, jobs in hand
Salaried lives,no longer bland.

Kindly and helpful,you played that role
People's favorite,loved by all
Untill COVID made its cruel...

Broken
Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside

Trying to fight depression
Fallen prey to the great deception 
Life at home is tough
He's almost had enough
