Premium Member In the shadowed corridors of the mind, where echoes of forgotten dreams persist
In the shadowed corridors of the mind, where echoes of forgotten dreams persist, People dance through life, weaving patterns of absurdity to avoid the abyss within, Avoiding the cold mirror of the soul, where truth waits, silent and unyielding, For it is not in imagining figures of light that we find our true selves, But in the brave embrace...

You forge a link, Through poems. With lilting turn of phrase And silky sequinned word You make your reason heard. You sow a...

For You, I Persist
For You, I Persist Nothing keeps me from you.. Besides perhaps 5142 miles And a string of moments quietly ticking away in my clock. For you, I persist. Soon, the space between us will cease and we will be one. And an ocean of yearning and imagining and craving will at once evaporate and transform.. Into skies of mulit-colored...

I Persist
I have become so weak now, that the only strength I stand with, is the strength of my attachment. The attachment of my improbable love. I now know, how I could not return, from the depth of immense rain, of love so deep. So hard to deceive. My heart still awakens, in the light of hope, of dreams so true, memories revoke....

I Persist In Crediting
I persist in crediting.... That breastfeeding hatred and animosity Could barely occasion war atrocity Demolish houses and blameless lives reap Petrify crestfallen minds and infants' poignant grief That airplanes,tanks and other war toys Could ravage,destroy and only thieve joys Annihilate life and identities liquidate Amplify aghast mortals and not emancipate That peace stirring words could promote Long-term stability and eschew portentous faults Make ravage and...
