Premium Member The gap between love and true love
When love is good, it's really great. Unfortunately for many when the sparkle fades, they don't know how to fix it. Seems easier for many to clear the slate and go for instant gratification of finding someone new. They're addicted to easy pickings and the high of novelty. The other side of that coin is they are cursed to never experience the depth of true and lasting love....

Cosmic Dreamcatcher's Ride
Across the way, I can replay Scenes from the past, like a wandering day Of hope and tenderness on the blue bus Among riders, hurried but generous. As such stars passed through Montana, eyes stared, With nice young men, jobless, steeped in despair, Yet, still the road offered joy and surprises, Bright beaches beneath friendly sunrises. Felt like an odyssey beaming with light, And...

Premium Member The Rites of Business
When one hits pay-dirt How far can this go The thrill in success is habit forming Success becoming currency of the day’s blo' Materialism playing a heavy hand as judgment With minions waiting to join in Groping for a share... a nibble Crumbs from a well stocked table thin Success breeding honey pots Of opportunity to crowds waiting... To fill the known orchards Supplying needed and...

Premium Member The Metropolitan Area
The area where the coffee scent fills the air Where the homeless see the well off and just stare Everyone has their heads down into their phones Beautiful buildings and waterfalls running off stones The people are too educated to be nice and polite Front desk security is called if something isn't right Plenty of places to choose from to fill...

TIME WAITS FOR NOBODY
On a sunny day Right in my parlour Laying on the couch I was going through my phone Then I paused for a moment Because of the sound of our wall clock. The time keeps ticking Every second You see how busy nature is Why sitting without labouring? Don't choose comfort At the age of labour Then you...

Premium Member What Immigrants Really Want
Come out of the darkness, stand in the light. Speak from your heart and give us insight. Don’t treat us like animals lured by honey. Saying you care and you’ll give us your money. Offer instead, a small thread of hope, A plan to slow, illegal immigration, guns, dope. Shore up our borders, build a great wall, Help the murder and theft...
