Premium MemberA Letter to America

A letter to America 
America we have been your friend
Forever now it seems
Through adversity and good times
Shared interwoven dreams

You had our back in darkest days
And likewise we’ve had yours
And though sometimes ill-advisedly
supported all your wars. 

You are like an older cousin
To admire and revere
A land of truth and justice
But it’s all changing now we fear

We

Premium MemberEVE'S NAKED PLEA -CLOTH IN KNOWLEDGED-

She wore nothing but herself;
Her crown was flowing radiant black;
Electrifying was her mind sweet as roses;
And she hears with ears of velvet clovers;
And she sees with the eyes of a cat beams;
And she's naked her vessel skin hue;
Like a flowing water pouring down streams;
Graced in beauty of visaged view;
Carmel is her angles;
She sings amidst the

Premium MemberA Plea to the Dry Guys

Moving like moonlight
I am the OG silver surfer
Fleshwalkers, Dry Guys, Land Livers,
Have been around for, 
What, 300,000 years?
Try 20 million years.

We eat stingrays.
Literally. For breakfast.
I have a 360 degree field of vision.
What's directly in front of me?
Don't ask.

Listen, Humanoids,
I'm delivering this plea
To your nearest post office.
Luckily I found a stamp
With my photo on it.

The plea

In the ebonic afterglow, I hope for your return…
—by poet

Echo a Desperate Plea

Anxious calling across a mountain ravine.
Breathless in frigid heights, plummeting d
Callousness of the deaf-defying beast.      e
Desperate to penetrate distance; pinpoint.   g
Echo of eeriness returns to me thrice.

There I loose my life's plea

I found every day,
Three retirees on the bay,
While going on duty of day,
good bye to me They say, 

They smile with half teeth,
Peeping out from their mouth,
As they are laughing at my mirth,
Of doing work day and night,

They waive their hands to show me,
My destination, to recall me, 
My real place after last knee,
There I

When whispers rise, 'Pray for me,'
From lips that claim no they have no belief,

Premium MemberThe Atheist's Plea

You stand apart, a shadow in the light,
Denying faith, declaring God untrue.
And yet, when facing the darkness, your face turns to white,
You ask of me, to pray for you.

You wound my Lord, with words of sharp disdain,
A constant scoff, a reason to deny.

Premium MemberDevout Plea


The devout words coming out of my mouth
distil the reverent echo of the sanctified soul.
My devoted plea opens portals of supreme spirit
where I discover the accepting arms of the Lord.

You kindle the consoling candle of salvation,     
show me the nirvanic light in dark alley of strife,
give me the strength to boldly

Premium MemberA Poet's Plea

When secrets rest behind each moon 
between the lines of hidden tunes, 
my hope is that you'll sing along 
oh singer of my heartfelt songs. 

Envision what was born through you, 
create romance with just one view. 
Caress my mind with sultry songs, 
nudge me when our morning dawns. 

Reveal the treasures of your dreams,

A plea

Whole world's gone to hell, 
Here I sit in jail, 
Cold floors touch my hands, 
As tears flow out in strands, 
God help me please, 
I'm a product of the breeze, 
A leaf gone with the flow, 
Thinking this is where I should go, 
I did not show Grace but stone,
These choices were my own,

Premium MemberLove’s Hearty Plea

Love’s in the blue, the sky, the bird, the ray.
Xanthous flicker of  light - the brilliant sun.
And white, the vellum space - she spills her day.
Emerald gown, her dress; hair golden spun.

Across the tiresome sea, the divide’s great.
Reflective waves imagine softest curls.
Easygoing, flashy morning, this date.
The reds turn black and storm’s a beast of

Premium MemberHeart's Plea

Mind breaks out of fright
seeking peace with plight
needing freedom flight
escaping from gloom’s blight
to love's glowing delight...

Soul in despair, day and night
cries for blest caring sprite
against cursed weakening might
midst what’s unfair, not right...

Faith smites doubt's fight
sans heavenly insight
conquers pouting bite
from guilt’s route and cite…

Pride falls from towering height
heart yearns for God, source of light.
