Premium Member Love on the rocks
Another sunset kissed the ocean before going to sleep. Another moon to welcome lovers to meet. Saturday night, love promises under the dancing lights. Awakenings next to a stranger happens when somebody lies. Perhaps the wine on the rocks in the wrong spot made us brighter. Solid rocks can break down while thin trees are stronger. Another sunrise will kiss our...

On the Rocks
ON THE ROCKS Down below, a roaring like thunder As crashing waves punch the shore Making both the cliff and I tremble With no holding back, as if it’s war Just as my life feels like going under I am standing here cold and alone As if at one with the sea in its rage Anger rises from the coldest depths If only I...

"On the rocks?", the bartender called, As I asked for a double Scotch, To revive my spirits keel-hauled. By my sleepy shift on night-watch. On the rocks the liquid gold poured Making the cold hard ice cubes clink. Drowner of sorrows, now on board, Dismay was dragged back from the brink. On the rocks the ship did flounder With no stormy tempest in sight, With...

On the Rocks
Some ships founder on the rocks. Such sad things come to pass. Relationships! They founder too, if not upon a rocky shore, then in a whiskey glass....

On the Rocks
what candle pressed against the wind a winding trail unfolds down the cliffside into the storm where a treasure lies to behold a thousand jagged teeth Peirce the roiling spew a promise of paradise the desperate never knew and down the cliff should you falter lose your balance and fall in hopes of happy ever after soon never after all...

Journey On the Rocks
Allegheny rail train has been rolling along since dawn. I can hear the patchy sounds of the horn ushered by the wind. Sounds at first are muffled but become distinct as the train gets closer. Gulls hovering over the waves that clash and thunder. I enjoy walking the tracks alongside of the Atlantic ocean in Richfield bay, south of...

Unity On the Rocks
The music is heard as I sit upon the rocks Sounds of gulls, crashing waves, whirling winds Oneness in itself, solidarity separated from life’s tolls freedom of imagination fulfillment of unification solitude with the stillness at dusk A soft poem unspoken while taking a rest granted to the sea, give it my best thanking the Lord what was given to me will come back...

Life On the Rocks
I'm one quarter whiskey I'm a quarter heartache One half a man With a splash of mistakes My lifes on the rocks As I drown in the rye There's a mountain of memories Still locked up inside Life on the rocks One foot in the grave Sold my soul to the devil And he gave me change I've fought with my demons But my souls been lost That's...

Love On the Rocks
The prayers to God to bless me with a man that will love me makes my heart melt, it’s as though he’s not to far away because it’s strongly felt. Waiting for a man that will give 100% real love is what I care to do, even if it means to sacrifice my sunny days so...

On the Rocks
On these very granite rocks we once sat and joyfully talked and somewhere amid the churning river and your hypnotizing words I fell in love. Fallen like the tumbling waters beside me, in my ears, mimicking the rhythm of my heart. Here sits the one man in the world who adores you even as you step on his throat to silence him…my love....

Love On the Rocks
Love On The Rocks We can dream about the warm togetherness Through the snow and wild chill outside We have come this far not to turn back now There is no use looking back at the plough Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning blow There are some sentiments I want you to know The blackened...

On the Rocks
Sober, I can feel again. A hurricane of emotions crash against my shores. Pain, so real again. I can't stop the rain from fallin'. Eye's wide open, blood flowing again. No substance to stop the flooding. Prayers, God forgive my sins. Wondering if he still listens....
