The Late Hulk Hogan
He was a wrestler but he died and he's gone for eternity. He was a WWE Hall of Famer and he starred in Rocky III. He had giant muscles and Hulk Hogan was his name. He has perished and the WWE will never be the same. Hogan was one hell of a wrestler and an actor as well. This man...

Premium Member Late Winter Surprise
Heart-shaped box of chocolates, late Winter surprise. See sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes. She knows him now, all too well, every inch of him. This sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes. A straight and narrow arrow flew from Cupid’s bowstring. Struck sailor, in a dark uniform, hiding his eyes. He had to open them then -...

i know i'm late, so here's a picnic basket to make up for it
There is something so sad about fireworks. They're so flashy, pretty, and exciting, but as they fade it makes you feel sort of lonely. Afterall, they're nothing more than a semi-permanent spark intended to entertain for a semi-permanent moment. The people that come into our lives are a lot like the fireworks: flashy, pretty, exciting. Then we...

Behind A Late Sky
I've cut through life with grand experience. Now I'm old and standing on the precipice where a man finds what really matters. The dance of life gradually slows down, with nothing but a pocketful of memories. Facing that last hurrah and the joys and sorrows that make life all the more lived. ...

Premium Member Before It’s Too Late
Be careful with kindness, don’t give it away.. Too much of it leads the heart astray. It’s not always ego when drawing a line.. Sometimes it’s courage.. a much healthier sign. In the end, it’s just you in the fight.. So guard your peace, and sleep well at night. Things will shift and people will stray.. Be true to yourself, and don’t...

Alive, Alive Oh!
The best thing about waking up is not the coffee in our cup warming the cockles I'd impart from the bottom of our heart it's knowing we survived to see another day arrived no matter what may come our way as being late when we're done and gone is far too harsh to contemplate so smell the flavour savour the roast and of our time here on earth before...

Lies I never told, but never clarified
They with masks and scalpels rewatch the seconds I was given without consent. My breath hitches as warnings stillborn in my throat. At this moment, I am but a body opened for overdue answers no one asked for. A poet’s gift lies in the voice of Truth. No— A poet's gift is to lie, constantly, in lavender-gray syllables threaded through with near-Truth— The...

Employing absolute freedom innate, as the subject, the object and the means the triad of energies shapes our fate, with the light of Self veiled behind five screens, the densest being our organic form, God’s vital life breath enlivening dust, entwined with mind, conjuring a thought storm, bliss body and childlike heart that does trust, being then the hurdles we need to cross, to...

Too Little - Too Late
Not so much a lie with little truth to tell Not so much goodbye with greetings gone to hell Not so much romance with feelings dead or pawned Not so much to dream with sleep — bereft and gone (Bryn Mawr College: May, 2025) ...

It Was To Late Unless Otherwise
Warnings came over and over and over again To repent and come from all sins It was ignored, until it was too late The passing and non-repentance in the grave Unknown, only Jesus above If they repented on their last days at all Jesus is the judge in this world No Silver, Gold or even a Pearl Can save you. You're being told Be...
