Premium Member Next, Next, Stop
Standing on a rusted platform, I look towards the looming, tarnished steel clock, Ticking away my final moments of existence. Oceanic eyes swell with liquid salinity As a hollowing whistle booms in the close distance. The scent of petrol mingles with midnight paranoia. Placing a shaking hand upon my vibrating chest, I can detect the trembling of a trepidatious heart, Whilst the monstrous...

Premium Member Will you be standing next to me
WILL YOU BE STANDING NEXT TO ME When this world is finally done, will you be standing next to me? When all humans reside as one, no violent colors left to see. 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...

A Reply To Intact
Life span expires around 100 That final flash behind the brain dies fast — If I could choose, I’d leave this fleeting land Beside the man I love, my lifelong friend. Yet fate is cruel; now I must live on, As if the one I love has gone away, Learning how to bear the restless storm, From someone long lost in my...

Next Move
Lots of ugly games come into our lives, Bless your enemies but let hope rise. Know what you don’t know, be wise and strong, Rethink what you have - it might not belong. Worship Him and find the next move’s way, Make a choice - move on today. God cannot forget us, so trust His timing, Our table awaits, His love...

Around the Next Turn
The sun my awakening a strip of asphalt shimmers off somewhere in Nebraska hundreds of miles from home. Sandhills seen for the first time I look at them with eyes of a child but my body aches as life springs forth from underground streams. Center lines are being painted an arduous day of work promised it always arrives too soon but serene skies stretch to endless horizons. My...

What's next
In this empty house alone I sit What comes next I still don't get Thought it was all planned out Yet now not sure what any of it is about Nothing in life that I wanted to do More then to love and grow old with you Been many years since we've been apart Living without you where does it start Everyone...

The Next Zimbabwe - A call to rise
**The Next Zimbabwe: A Call to Rise** In lands where dreams were forged in fire, A tale of strength, of fierce desire, From ashes of despair, they’ve learned to climb, Zimbabwe’s spirit soaring through the sands of time. A currency’s fall, a lesson steep, Where once was value, now shadows creep. Yet...

Until Next Time
Until we meet again Not by chance But by design Not by accident But by choices accepted or declined Not by coincidence But by the alignment of our souls Not by a fluke But by universal sparks that unite our unrelenting goals Not by a stroke of luck But by focus and a guided decision Not by blind impact But by stars on a predetermined collision Until we...

" My mother wanted me to be her wings, to fly as she was unable to. I love the fact that she wanted to give birth to her own wings. " -Erica Jong Oh, your countenance in dawns graceful light offers the imagination a lofty throne an angel? goddess? not meant for human sight yet, you are here beside...

When you're not next to me
The flowers keep blooming And the sun is still shining How can that be When you're not next to me The waves are crashing The wind is still blowing The robins are singing The stars are still gleaming But you're not next to me The trees should be withered away The sun should not rise The canyons should crumble down to dust But the world keeps going...

To my long lost friend
A, I did not have time to talk to you about my ill fate. It seems nice but I think it is a curse for me this year. It has been 5 years since you were gone, Although I do not feel missing you as I used to, But it did not mean I love you...

Premium Member eating next to a puppy
Puppy dog eyes are real A dog makes a big deal Out of watching you eat your meal If you have food to eat They expect a special treat Something salty or something sweet Sitting beside you with sad eyes They salivate, no big surprise Until you decide to compromise...
