Premium Member Elsabob Comes To the Forest
The forest had enjoyed a magical transformation.
Dusk had ushered in the firefly brigade.
They lit up the pond area like tiny LED lights.
I could see they were excitedly motioning to the faeries.
Although I do not speak...

Authenticity isn’t GMO
Push the limits…try to find outlets and coping skills for yourself
Pull away from the urge to throw those childish, languishing fits
Explore and implore with me now
Feels drown away and fade somehow
Hooked to your melody
Haunted and...

Kind, like the time hope
Filled me with light,
Sunrise showing up in the dawn,
Silencing the dark and gentling
A calm breathed through the oaks,

she said,”Just a man I used to know.”
She would never say more than that,

But that night, like every other,
when midnight rolled around,

that to be qu**r
means to be strange,
to be unlike the rest,
to be different, 
but not in a way that would raise surprised brows 
or taint eyes green with jealousy.
We were taught 
that...

...was Granddad's before he died.
And now its loneliness reached out to the boy
from the shaded, shuffling shadows 
that shushed the sheltered garden.
They pulled, they tugged at his guilt-filled absence
until he slink-slunked through the greenery,

Death
Pain shows no stain. 
The only stain that is there, 
Is one of his blood.

It all started a sad day in
July. 
He saved my life.

Now, I'm nothing but a simple
Hunter. It's not animals I hunt,
but...

We settled and sizzled in the moonlight.
We danced through the dense of the darkest night.

The Christmas Gift
My friend had a Christmas gift
He wanted to give me;
He shushed it was a secret
And I couldn't see.

It's awful not knowing

He laughed
When I begged for a...
