Through the Dark
Through the dark, Their is a door, Where no one has ever been before, And through that door, Is something unknown, For we don’t know if it is home, My home is leaving, Through that door, Will they ever come back, That’s a question for, Oh they left, On to the next, Is there another door, It's so complex, If they come back, Will they need me less, Will they notice...

Of Love and Loss
Why speak of love with tales so grand, If you never learn to hold a hand? Why make promises sweet and wide, If you never intend to stand by their side? Why is it truth, that only when gone, Do we miss the light we had all along? Is value found only in absence and pain— Do hearts awake only in rain? The...

They Said He'd Change
I held on like the world would end If I let go of the man I called a friend He broke me slow with gentle lies And wiped my tears while making me cry I made excuses I covered the scars Told myself love was meant to be hard They said he’d change and I believed Every promise I blindly received Nights were...

You shattered my dream
2025.4.20 I was so excited. I was going on a trip, All the way to New South Wales, Sydney. Where I last visited in 2006. This time, I wanted to climb, On the Australia icon "Sydney Harbour bridge", Stamped my feet around the Rocks square, Then on the Sydney Opera House's steps. I had a choice either up north To Newcastle and Lake...

Broken Promises
I trusted you, I let my walls down for you, You made a fool of me, You tore me apart. My heart has been broken for the last time, You were the straw that broke the camel’s back, You never really loved me, But you hid it so well. You hurt my best friends, And that hurt me too, It took me 9 entire months, Just...

Promises and Pockets
A politician, quite slick and so sly, Whose promises soared to the sky. He'd smile and he'd wave, Then quietly save, His own little nest, by and by. ©bfa031725 ...

The Envelope
I slowly opened the envelope with hesitation. My repeated health test results would either reveal good news or bad news. I had been praying, begging, and pleading to God for good news. I promised God that I would change my lifestyle. I promised God that I would become a better person. I read the letter,...

Premium Member Delivered Through Heaven's Gate
Quote: “Lenses grant vision, perspectives determine what we see.” Poet As faith confirmers, glorious, color-chorused rainbows caress. Brilliant beauty as fresh delivered through Heaven’s gate, brightens human hopes, uplifting faith to further radiate. Sensations sparkling gloriously bright as any God made jewel grant elation promises that soothe any doubts man may mutter. For many, rainbows are a visual grabber, seeing...

Premium Member Evaporating promises
Diplomacy can be a fig leaf for surrender A wolf agrees to postpone the dismember If you want peace, prepare for war Peacetime is what aggressors use it for. Countries have interests, leaders have ambitions For some expansion is a holy mission. Cost and benefits, incentives and deterrents Under peaceful oceans can be riptide currents. The Sioux were promised sacred ground, But promises became...

Whispered Promises
In the quiet of the evening’s glow, Two hearts whisper promises, soft and slow. With every star that lights the night, Their love shines pure, a guiding light. The Dance of Hearts Upon the winds, their spirits fly, Twirling beneath the vast, open sky. In rhythm, their souls gently sway, In a dance of love, day by day. Timeless Embrace A love that transcends the...
