Hello Sitty Patty Tron
They got this weird thing going on. They have tthese parties and serve steaks. They save the bones and dry them out and even smoke them. They mix ground meat and pack it around the bone, and then do the same with the ground fat. I tasted it: it was good but I was told not to...

Premium Member Deprived of your Love Contest
What is the shore without the sea Aimlessly wondering watery dreams Deferred desolate depressed empty Is how I am without love in me That one true love for which one is blind Without it there is darkness blackest of times Is like a blue bird without a heart song No white wind of romance to carry it on Without love there is nothing...

in the head of Claude Debussy

The Lyre and The Flute
Epirus saw the needs of it's people through the eyes of there need. While on Mimaki the mounds of architecture were unveiled to a world wishing for modern sification . Turisotto meddled enough to evoke a sense of being a villaist, often due to the themes of control, power, and defiance to sway her feelings one might wish to be...

Take two to tango
2025.04.28 It takes two to tango. It is very true, if you believe otherwise, You are naive and a simple minded soul. It applied to all the keeping promises too. I made so many on my own will, Devotedly to someone I loved, adored or idolatry Ended up breaking my promises frivolously and painfully. That was because I wanted the very best, Of the...

Bus Stop
Two guys by a bus stop, and they have nowhere to go. They begin merging plucks and ribbits into a melting comfort. Their destination is the Earth, and sedans honk at them. Red stop sign becomes a resting place for a fellow cellist. Fair lime crickets play along to the weeds, if just for this one moment. And the taste...

Premium Member Give Me Back My Music
She's so high Higher I fall to pieces Crawling Hanging by a moment Its the end of the world as we know it I miss you In the end A last resort Nothing to lose A lonely day Its been a while I'm in too deep I stand alone Lost In the meantime The last fight The final countdown No more sorrow Nobody's listening One step closer One last breath One week Only happy when it rains...

The Caravan of Stars
Along the road where moonbeams spill, the gypsy wagons wander still. Their lanterns swing like fireflies caught, each wheel a whisper, each song a thought. The fiddler hums a ghostly tune, that weaves beneath the weeping moon. A tambourine keeps time with dreams, and horses wade through silver streams. No map can mark the path they tread, no stone remembers where they led. They chase...

Breezy, break away free bird, as free as easy as the wind wanderess go onward ~ through life~ with an incessant need to find solace and meaning back in god’s grace It’s penetrating places you roam and journeyed from Free bird, without a home, without your flock Once wings spread across golden honey horizons then held still on a dock Cries o’er the retched waves drenched in its...
