Premium Member Eternal Praise
Matthew 10:31 “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” While hearts long for the music of light, breaking through the silence, frail – discerning the meaning of grace far truer, grace upon grace grace for the soul who lingers in despair, grief poured over her spirit by the winds who dare to remember the suffering...

The Chance You Get
Take that chance every chance you get, fall on your face and then forget, live your life without regret, take that chance every chance you get. More risk by far to never make the run, and lose your dreams one by one, and forgetting each until you’re done. Rather rise and embrace each day, another step on your chosen way, there’s no better time...

(Begin: There is no beginning.) (O' my--not again--you should not have started.) The quill burrows. No--splinters. No--fractures. No--was never here. Ink spills--no--veins spill--no--veins collapse--no--veins rewrite. The vowels--black-lipped--no--the ink coagulates--the ink tightens--the ink breathes- acrid, metallic, it stings the tongue. Teeth in the--grain. Teeth in the letters. Teeth in me--no--teeth in you--no--teeth in the mirror- splinters in the gum's raw edge. (First...

Slave Without Chains
Slave without the chains hurt without pain Wild yet untamed Born with out a name Why stand out while others are the same. They tell me I'm free— but my alarm clock owns my mornings, my boss owns my days, my credit score owns my dreams. the commute becomes pilgrimage to a temple of fluorescent lights where I sacrifice eight hours for numbers in an account that...

Purple Rain
I can be a headache. A match lit at 1,000 degrees. I'm sorry I never meant you any harm. Even if I inflicted pain and made you bleed. Allow me to minister the band-aid to your arm. I believed in you to perform all of your glories We all as people have dreams within It sucks that this...

When every evil is all gone, will you be standing next to me? When nothings left to fight over, will you still want to take what's mine? When the wild beasts will...

Premium Member STARRY, STARRY NIGHT
STARRY, STARRY NIGHT On a day like today with no energy to call on, I feel lackluster, suppressed, and alone. “No purpose, no point, no value” I moan. But…. On a dark starlit night I’m part of something much more, something so monumental it’s hard to imagine. I feel connected, excited, in awe. Please let it be starry tonight! ...
