Premium Member Aspects of the Past
That which once was and can no longer be, a vision once seen you can no longer see. When described as a thought, a memory, or a seed or seedling if it is a tree. The beginning of something the world now calls me! ...

Premium Member Calling Death
Calling Death Just sitting in the room. Cold air comes from the window Dawn woke me up from the cemetery. Great early lights Calling the eternal life. The clock has stopped. It’s time The heart is still beating. So fast. Pain and pressure inside Need to change, change the time. Passed years. It’s global All this life has gone away. A...

A Year Has Past
Nothing beats the summer breeze The memories of the ones who leave Lotus flowers smile at me Saying this will pass, you’ll come to see Walking in a forest with my shoes in my bag Wishing I were leaving the town that I have The year is almost over, and I’m still lying on the grass The...

Premium Member No One Counts the Bodies Jesus Walked Past
Kensington spreads its legs— lets the city crawl in, dripping Xylazine / fentanyl / tranq, open sore veins moaning dirty dirges. False prophets— all piss and panic— bark half-lies through decaying molars, fingering apathy for spare change. You smell it five blocks before you enter. The stench tests your soul before it reaches your throat. Narcan. burnt spoons. street toilet. Dreams twitch under heat lamps— larval things too stubborn to die. Hope? Hope’s a half-smoked, laced Newport balanced...

Love Songs Don't Sound As Good As They Used To
Have you heard the one about the birds and the bees? I never much liked it myself, because it soured the taste of our innocence. Or maybe our innocence soured the taste of us. So much for happy endings, and so much for love. So much for innocence, and so much for us. You’re an old slow dance. You’re an old song. And if I’m being honest— I still think back to that time I...

Premium Member The Keys to the Future
The doors to yesterday are shut tight and locked. Only windows allow quick glimpses... you, face red and angry, eyes shut tight, refusing to accept reality away from your warm, slushy world of heart beats and distant voices. Alas, we are all thrust out into bright lights,...

Premium Member Half Past Summer, Two Months To Fall
Half Past Summer, Two Months To Fall The sultry legs of summer dance under sunny skies Each day, the steps are heated and embraced She lies in summer's arms on a beach, tanning herself As the sands of summer roll with the waltzing tides When the song ends, she sighs, and a new stage begins Slippers and sandals are replaced...

EMBER!
For there’s much more to remember. perhaps the walk that still embers. The distinct message at the first sight. and pin bent at the other end of the road. Waited for the travellers to haunt at night. when the moon with a smiley face to bright. A stroll to remember where one walked, with hands...

Life Why follow? Don’t need. Lives the death Be walking. Dark woods. Free life. Feeling Don’t love. Do not love. This is just a mistake Dark light. No harmony. This life is dissonant Just a hell. Rainbow. Night-blindness. A hell Loving. Unrecognised. Unknown love. A tear Just water. Steam. Life stream. River in Wood Unloved. Changed. Flow. Glittering. Silver brook Ice Dropped life. Missed. Buried...

Premium Member Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall
Summer is a time of wanderlust and fun with long days and warm nights A season to enjoy the outdoors as we cultivate our many gardens of life The days are now getting shorter as nature slowly starts to rest into slumber Hummingbirds take their last sip of nectar before their fall departure Leaves start to transform from...

Warm summer days fly by so fast, cool weather’s lurking in the wings. School holidays they never last, warm summer days fly by so fast Dead foliage will soon whizz past - “Those Autumn Leaves” my grandma sings! Warm summer days fly by so fast, cool weather’s lurking in the wings. ...
