Premium Member Secret Lives of Shame
We could speak together,
Decry rabid violence of chronically stressed kids

drowning in inch-deep and narrow boxed-in mentoring...

Premium Member Running Away From Hibernating Ren
Why is it
as I watch The International CEO Actor
unilaterally Ordering disinvestment
in both domestic and Earth's cooperative-organic health,
I feel cold harsh January snowblow storms?

Dismaying cold
calling me toward hibernating silo of unencumbered sleep,
possibly to dream of sequestering...

Carrying Along That Secret
Gradma singing her passionate Neapolitan songs 
from a balcony adorned with scarlet roses...her deep voice

her long golden hair brushed by the summer's aromatic breeze, 
to spark a...

Premium Member Wuz Up Brother of the 70's-Huh
 you perm and prime you shun;
You polish up your own stone;
You talk trash and jive;

You give me that unpromising smile
I hear your murmurs and cries

Don’t be afraid of the...

Nobody's Life
Nobody's life can ever be complete without smiling
at everyone passing by, it's not something out of line;

A Journey Taken Again
A journey taken again

Hello ,he dropped a message in my inbox
After a year's silence
He maintained flowing through eons of loneliness
He weaved a yarn with my tears and pain

Awhile In Time...
I close my eyes for a while, just a while
And I see a familiar darkness I recognize
Astonishingly, comfort was found somehow
A tranquility I’m always in welcome to reprise

Images in random united within
Moving in with memories,...
