Premium Member I Dwell In Halo Clouds
I choose to dwell in frothy clouds… with a mindset unfixed Random instincts spaced out In the cumulus mix An expansive effusion Far out and beyond my temporal shackles Free are my thoughts without prompt Closed minds shallow and desolate debacles dissipate in this airy romp On wispy clouds I dwell in… high above I’ve risen Here no need to reason nor the blends...

A bottomless pit can’t be filled
As if cast into the world, a flood it creates, Yet still, the people fail to see their fates. Though wealth may shine bright, filling every space, Their hearts grow weary, losing hope's embrace. The world has blinded them, lost in its maze, They take the green paper as their praise. While the needy struggle, their hearts tight as stone, Digging for...

The definition of love
Love is said to be so many things a man can define, an unexplainable, heart-warming and deep sensation filled with the tentacles of nostalgia, a feeling so selfish to react to and unselfish to share with one's soulmate, Anthony and Cleopatra would be smiling from their graves at the sight of this beautiful piece of...

Pit Bull
Tell me, dog with the big teeth, What do you see past that muzzle of yours? What do you hear through the whispers of those that go by? You crave to feel human touch— Even the brush of fingertips against your ruined body When someone walks past. You long to be held like all the little dogs are: Given fuss on...

Premium Member AN EMPTY FIRE PIT
In Florida oak leaves fall in March and as I was cleaning up our backyard I paused a moment to sit… to take a break and relax around our old and empty fire pit. As I sat catching my breath…suddenly in my mind memories started to soar and that fire pit, empty only a moment ago….was not empty any...

Pit Valleys
In parts of Derbyshire and Yorkshire there are still pit-valleys, where industry and nature collide, marry, and have their natural born children. The earth once gouged, raped and laid desolate, is landscaped by those who once despoiled. Time plays its part, plants its seeds, it up-roots high piled slagheaps, softens broken mountains of concrete. I have walked these valleys, in some I had to stumble...

The Snake Pit, The Bee Hive, and The Lions' Den
Watch your step, so you don't end up here Where people like you simply disappear To be devoured like prey, they're on the hunt Looking for their next victim for them to stunt Beware of the snake pit, the ones who take The ones who would drown you in a lake Of their own selfish needs and desires With a tongue forked...

The Pit and the Pendulum
I think I found the prescription for the sickness behind my obvious problems Or I found the key that fits in the lock of the door of ignoring them I’m not sure which one it is But you’ve won, I’m tempted But am I exempted from my duties of holding down the fort when you’re dejected? You’re...

The Pit
A deep deceptive pit One so inescapable and filled with turmoil In this pit a man bides Not by choice, but for no reason Not for treason But for nothing at all Why is it that he deserves a life of torture and hell When a person worse has everything at the ring of a bell...

Pit-Pat Pounding
The blue skies are clear again, No wind tears apart, yet the sound of pounding rain beats against my heart, The clear sky will darkle soon, Thunder will go boom, Prepare to hear rain's sweet tune, And watch lightning zoom, Listen to that faint drumming, That relentless din, Pit-pat, the rains are coming, I feel it...

The Pit of Loneliness
Author Dana Redricks February 3, 2023 How do I escape this pit of loneliness? Do I try to fit in, or cover it up and try to numb the pain, I have tried that, but it only left me feeling much more empty. I know God will never leave, nor forsake me, but the problem you see...
