Premium Member Social Media Princess

We first met coasting the blurred lines
of the information superhighway. We 
exchanged polite words and respectful
kindness, though we seldom saw or heard
each other.

I am the old man of touch and eye contact,
you are the princess of text and illusions.
I adapt to your hot realms, to your affinity
for glittering screens because past and future,
old and young are but shadows cast 
over the now. 

Once I learned the rules, I believed in you.
You are alive and fragrant within the text
you deliver each moment of each day.
In the photos you send, in the stories you share,
you thrive and brighten my journey!  

Social Media Princess,
my apps erect you through your words,
like the heroine I love in my favorite novel,
the perfect Eidolon in my dreams.
You return, making your offerings 
again, and again. I somehow hear your
whispering words soothing my
solitary hungry heart. I somehow awaken
to your textual passion and kindness,
                           to my love and longing for you.

Write Your Story

Write your story


The hardest times leave echoes in my mind
And try as I might to push them aside,
The hardest times are a part of my life.
I cannot let them go without losing my light.


I could hope to be different and wish for change,
But these days they will remain the same,
And if I try to ignore my brain,
I will reverse and fall into love again.


The zeitgeist blows through computer screens,
Whispering woes eternally,
And all the hive activity,
Allows the world to learn how to teach.
Reach deep into the depths of your mind;
You never know what you will find.
It could be a dark tale of the saddest mystery,
Or you could find a light which shines endlessly.


Within my heart there are words of love,
And even though I am on the up and up,
There was a time I truly believed that I would end up as one of us.
Those times have now passed; I have relaxed and forgotten about love.


Words cut through me like a vipers smile,
Spitting lies like I am on my side sometimes.
As the poison creeps throughout my landmine mind,
Time waits for no man and it passes on by.


The years I have lost to those fake alibi’s.
A list of excuses practiced with time.
Textual context not worth reading,
So many years stolen away from me.
My misery goes hand in hand with me still believing.


Then again I hear the sirens calling,
Their lover’s aplenty, sinning and falling.
I fell on my sword and jumped off the cliff,
When I trusted the deceivers; the pain sealed with a kiss.
Forever trapped inside their web of lies,
Such beautiful words I had never heard in my life,
But behind blue eyes the lies continue.
False smiles, false people, they are nothing new.


It took the best of me, to remain a living being, I still drown;
The heart fell to the ground and I was forever falling down,
But I hope, I pray, one day I will get to be lucky;
Maybe I could one day write a family story.

Premium Member Bold New Globe's Kaleidoscope

Shapes, colors, and surfaces have long nature shone. 
Anthocyanin in plant sap gives blossoms their tone. 

All tones in the universe bear upon humankind. 
Waves and waterfalls etched them and mixed their shade. 

Convey the can as you scale the stage. 
Time-frozen iconographies suggest a swage. 

Plenty of vivid glass catches the glow. 
Irate particles romp on men's mental stow.

The reflection turns into a textual kaleidoscope. 
Colored focal points require fewer scopes. 

An orchestra of renovated wedded couples. 
Flawless faith, hopeful person sees are ambles.

Portrayed as intelligent, smooth, and vesicated 
Heartfelt, tribute, neologisms, and undefeated 

Breeze, arthropods, tomorrow existence. 
Immortal, everlasting, fluid, and uniqueness. 

I cross the means no less than six times each day. 
Shading hidden by business has changed our stay. 

Medication and nutritious food scoundrels sell in the media. 
Helping and executing purchaser lunacy mania.

A softness showed two similar views, one on each side. 
The right eye sees truth while the left sees hatred. 

Genius is connecting light shards social joy and bliss 
He was imprisoned in an application's abyss.

Intriguing gizmos enrapture an expansive client base. 
Fresh iOS and Android pimps are joining the robot race. 

Expertise has supplanted skill in this serene stream
Rough labor, uniqueness, and prior heresy are extreme. 

All these are linked to the hues glass and kaleidoscope.
Vision has shifted as a result of the modernity slope.

A lively soul distinguishes a plasma from a flower.
Portray our creation with the original god's power.
