Premium Member Wish

A many-hued morning comes again,
New hopes will walk beside us.
Old memories will softly adorn the heart,
Yet ahead our paths will shine with smiles.

Time may not pause, but this moment is ours,
Today’s laughter is tomorrow’s light.
Shared smiles, resonant voices —
Let us share love, joy, trust — together.

Life’s journey now fills with sunshine,
Companions by our side, every step dear.
What fate has written isn’t punishment but blessing,
Heartbeat to heartbeat, more smiles than ever.

A new dawn, a new tale, new words to say,
Where grief has no weight, and joy touches the soul.
The ray of the future gleams,
We are together, hope is with us,
And joy, love, faith — this will be our world.

Premium Member They Walk For Peace!

Simplicity brings them together
   They trudge with harmonious love
An indelible flash these birds of a feather
   Sharing the path with the white dove
Solemnly saunter across the western world
   Spanning the continent, they tour in rows
A peace march of ochre-orange parasols unfurled
   Illuminating passage, flames of melodious flows
Embodying trails opaque, a still inertia within
  The elements exposed, cloaked in dirt successive
Shallow robes of saffron drapes weathered skin
   Lanterns glow thru paths congestive
Miles of pavement  ‘neath calloused bare feet
   Lauded Buddhist Monks walk for peace
A simple task, that ill will cannot defeat               a
                                                                          w

Owing to pirahnic complicity in large scales
  Whose causes and effects abet imbalance
Those who fold together, the greediest fails
  Unhinged acts of hate they’ll plant the seeds
Of unborn ominous events, giving life to malice
  Consume like carrion crows, dirty deeds of vultures
To whom dine and drunk from the blooded chalice 
  And all who are alongside these canceled cultures
Only dark murmuration for these birds of a feather
  Soon to slump by the wayside—they'll fall together

Reality Check

Reality check let’s look around us 
conspiracy theories mean feet ain’t grounded 
heads in clouds like white powder buzz 
black man screams white power just because
not what is but cliche what was 
Media feeding but when broke down ridiculous 
mankind allows belief in magical hat tricks
thinking freedom restricted attractive
commit to ideas only restricts oneself
mental control on thinking paths for elfs
religious political views grouping themselves
blinding to all else open minds stuck to shelves
Vice and lust guns drugs busts
Man’s a muppet blind and mugged
belief of secrecy swept under the rug
but respect their privacy we must
two ways shared complain cus one aint theirs
playing their minds corrupts them scares  
Political enemies allies or friends 
slaves to the systems straights and bends 
streets lined up with shady men 
play til deaths cycle rolls to the naive next gen
they call it suffer but paradise blends
subjective perspective made enemies 
opinions disrespected paranoia breeds 
call it the jungle but wouldn’t live in the jungle
work 5 days 2 weekends
rest and socialise purchase items 
only species this applies 
living inside just enough to get by
side by side we borrow we buy 
man we ain’t victims when there ain’t a medical absence 
law and justice helps our actions 
abandon this stuff the way of victims acting dumb 
historically war lose you life 
injustice found when there is no rights 
the top level wealthy increasingly greedy 
still the bottom level get gifted basic needing 
so comfortable their overbreeding 
more they need put hands out 
but if not filled instant grieving 
we live in a society we don’t take responsibility for 
thinking us it’s responsible for wanting more
complaints of freebies proof mans a fool 
they ask they take they give bugger all

Bonds Unbroken: Sibling Love

In childhood days of laughter and play,
Side by side, we'd dance and sway.
Siblings bound by love so true,
Together in all that we'd pursue.

Through schoolyard antics and homework woes,
We'd face each challenge, our bond still grows.
Hand in hand, we'd face the tide,
With strength in unity, we'd never hide.

But as time flies on swift wings,
Life's changes bring new beginnings.
Work and school, they call our names,
Drawing us apart like different games.

Yet distance cannot break the ties,
That bind our hearts under azure skies.
For memories woven in childhood's embrace,
Forever hold us in their grace.

Though paths may lead us far apart,
The love we share will never depart.
Through marriages and life's grand schemes,
We'll cherish the bond of sibling dreams.

So let us treasure each fleeting day,
And hold dear the memories that stay.
For no matter where our journeys roam,
We'll always find our way back home.

I know the score

Draped in malheureuse  
I wear it head to toe
All i’d be is trouble 
In case you didn’t know 
I’ll linger at the bar and hope your eye catches mine
Is that a chain around your neck? 
is it supposed to be a sign? 
That our paths aren’t meant to cross, your soul calloused, mine too soft 
To intertwine with yours on this drunken dark night.

So come over to the bar and you’ll find a surprise 
just one word, a sip and you’ll feel the ground rise
it could be so easy, let’s find a place to hide 
we don’t have to tell your friends, secrets live inside.

Jump into the cab with me and put your hands in mine
Soften my bruised lips;  we’re running out of time 
sultry whispers in my ear, it’s like your glad to be here so let’s just lay,  don’t walk away 
don’t curse this night,
just because it feels right.

I’ve done this all before, so I know the score
you’ll say you had fun, but I know you’re glad it’s done and I’ll carry the weight of your choice. 
I’ll convince myself it was nothing but in years to come I’ll still remember your voice. 

You’ll be quick to shut the door,  leaving me wanting more and forgetting what you left behind.
You’ll do some soul searching and question your urges but decide that there’s nothing to find.

Each day will pass, with the sun comes rain;
I’ll keep your jumper and keep your chain in the hope that you’ll venture to me again.


Broken Glass Wings

 It is so much harder than I thought
Crossing bridges never been crossed
Walking paths never been walked
Holding onto rails never been held

Seeking life with broken glass wings
I dined to shelter my heart's frozen rings
I pulled one's dreams, pulling my own strings
Hearing a silent leaf’s song sings

But I begged not and I cared not
A secret choice all for naught
Emptying a glass so fraught
I caged joys to bottom rot

And a desire I pledge to not know
When can my broken glass wings glow
To let it be or to let it go
I sought no answers, but to let it all flow

Premium Member Death the Final Frontier

We are born to crying 
Tears smiles and pride
Live our lives hearts desire
Emotional roller coaster ride
Guidance from our elders
Often not absorbed
Until we make mistakes
Than are questions are ignored
So many paths to follow
So much to learn
Feed your brain 
Buy a house money to earn
We all end the same
No air to breathe
Blood drained from our veins
For some it's magical
A ride of pure delight
Others drown senses
Obscuring every plight
Many blinded by 
Lessons of life
Will make a second quest
On earth 
souls torture and trife!
Death, the final frontier
Infinity is ended 
You no longer 
Have a care
The living are left
To clean and carry on
Make sense of it all
Long after you are gone.

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO PERCEIVES OUR WICKEDNESS

October 11 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Matthew 22-23 
 
Key Verse – Matthew 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

FAITH IN GOD WHO PERCEIVES OUR WICKEDNESS	

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His kingdom
We repent while learning truths with His wisdom
Indeed, grateful to Him for granting us salvation’s freedom…
Now, our faith grows upon Bible-based Christendom.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His Scriptures
We repent while obeying His commandments for heavenly ventures
Indeed, yielded to Him for righteous gestures…
Now, our faith endures persecution-tortures.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His holiness
We repent while avoiding entanglement with worldliness
Indeed, humbled before Him for His sanctifying cleanliness…
Now, our faith perseveres along paths of righteousness.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His mercy
We repent while begging for His guidance-fervency 
Indeed, submissive to Him to be instructed by His prophesy…
Now, our faith stands toward service-persistency.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His miracles’ might
We repent while praying and beseeching with sincere plight
Indeed, surrendered to Him for His protection day and night…
Now, our faith trusts fully His assurance of wondrous sight.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His compassion
We repent while abiding in His will of sovereign supervision
Indeed, devoted to Him for victory from sin-caused depression…
Now, our faith increases because of His divine provision.

God perceives our wickedness and hypocrisy against His Word-fulfillment
We repent while meditating His precepts of eternal settlement
Indeed, worshipful to Him along dedicated commitment…
Now, our faith triumphs in our ministry-involvement.

Premium Member On realms hidden within the folds of the celestial map, a murmur of light is woven

On realms hidden within the folds of the celestial map, a murmur of light is woven,
And among the sacred, within an inner world, resounds the divine call.
Your values, ancient bastions within the whirlpool of the ages, raise them as standards,
Be the echo among souls, in their endless dance, parallel and burning.
On the vast stage of the universe, where each soul seeks its match in the heavy scale,
Align with the cosmic symphony, where each note finds its answer in another star.
Say "no" to the glass beads that do not reflect your light, that do not know your worth at sea,
So that, through a predestined fate, the soulmate will appear, unknown when or from where.
Know the allegory of the path, one that intertwines in the chords of hearts that vibrate mutedly,
Embody your authentic virtue, like the pendulum of the sphere seeking its purpose in the divine odyssey.
And refuse to walk the paths not destined for you, burning illusions in deception,
Just so, on a day of wonder, your soulmate will appear, a golden thread in the fabric of life, in a respite of love.
In the vast field of existence, where each blade of grass bows before the wind carrying the tale,
In unscripted times, your values weave their grandeur into a tapestry awaiting to be your life.
Deviating from the trials of the world, aim for that union which is predestined in the murmur of the horizon,
And find in the silence between heartbeats, the melody that has been prepared to emerge for you and your match.
Now, walk down the alley of dreams, armed with the hope that your values will guide you,
Through the countless dimensions of reality, where destiny plays its piece, enveloped in its magic.
Refuse what is ephemeral, what does not reflect the depth and mastery of your soul,
And open your arms to that someone, who in harmony with you, will complete the odyssey of life with symphony.

Premium Member Upon the wings of time, we intertwined our spirits

Upon the wings of time, we intertwined our spirits,
Seeking the harmony of eternity, a gentle ocean of song.
A kiss unfurled the creed of ancient silences,
And in a waltz, we joined, with suffering sealing a holy pact.
An invisible thread, a weave from bygone times,
Bound us in the mystery of a world long forgotten and lost.
In depths of mine, your smile blossoms like a feast,
Under a newborn sky, where light was bestowed upon us, undefeated.
Your hands sketched paths across the skin of my unsuspecting hopes,
Your gaze, sparkling like stars in the night, a longing that never fades.
You were my peace in the tumult of the day, I lived every quivering moment,
And upon your brow, I left, with a prayer, a thought that clings to hearts.
In you, perhaps love has melted away, but in me, it blooms anew,
In absence and silence, its deep grave has been dug.
Yet I bear it like an unconquered emblem woven in purple,
And even unthought by you, you are an altar in my soul.
