Carnival Lights
Beneath the sky’s deep purple hue, Music calls, the laughter too; Wheels turn slow, the lights all spin, And pull us gently further in. The air smells sweet with candy threads, With buttered corn and warm baked breads; A carousel of painted dreams, It ripples on the moonlit streams. I watch your eyes in neon glow, They shine in ways you may not know; The...

Premium Member Mr Softy
The Illinois emperor favors no bail for the violent he's a softy in the middle and more so on crime From his bullhorn pulpit he proclaims that we're safe I'm afraid the land of Lincoln is made of paper mâché. He lives in a crystal bubble in a billionaire's den with state-of-the-art, impenetrable defenses. He hates the 2A and the...

The Desert of Dreams
Dream palms sprout, wetted by sweat. Like an eternal rainbow in the sand, Dubai entices the world. It’s not a mirage over the dunes, but a stunning truth of the spectacular opulence.

The bold horizon burned and died cold in my eyes as I turned aside on the road to nowhere taking it slow making it easy in no hurry to go I'm taking my time for I never felt the need to heed the latest mad fad or follow the current day's craze yet I don't fret or sweat the small stuff but I did learn soon enough the tide...

Gangs are thriving even to this day there on Kensington Avenue. Gangs of many ethnicities, prostitutes and miserable folk hang out there hooked on heroin, fentanyl and coke. A billion dollar market where...

Premium Member The Cloisters

The Cloisters stand, silent upon a nearby hill stone walls and ancient towers are stoic and timeless carrying secrets of the past covering forgotten sins. Echos of voices, Ave Maria and rosaries the fervent signs of the cross commune amongst sacred writings silent prayers...

A LUXURY I WISH
In my comfy corner, a little space A place of my own, as soft as a lace Lays a long chair of queen’s height with a wooden base With a rocking style for a ride at a mild pace Cushions of vibrant colours, in fitting size in the pattern of a maze Attracting all in less time, fixing attention and...
