Silent One in the Skies
The morning is walking in its own pride And courage is leaning by my side The sun is rising up from the east and fire is burning in the belly of the beast Morning is shining all over the place And the evening sun is melting their faces Strange things are happening in town And the multitude is moving around With bags...

Going so far as to physically attack journalists reporting their 'anti-democracy and anti-governmental protests.' Seeking to tear down and burn our...

Nobody
“Who is it about?” You. It’s always been you. For months. Worth more than gold, weighing less than mud are my thoughts. Months of downplaying, cast aside, thrown to the pigs. You. It always came back to you. With your silky hair, long and dark. Soft to the touch, like one would imagine a cloud's. Your...

A Dream
Good to you, good for you, good with you… All things I’ve always dreamt of being. But also all things I never will be. You need more than this… more than me. I stare at my ceiling and wonder what it could be… what WE could be. Nothing. I know that’s the real answer… Yet,...

Premium Member Interrupted Meandering
I stop aching after shorter distances now (the reverse psychology of whatever it is I've done to my back). My Fitbit says I walked 48.5 miles last week, so it's unlikely I’ll top that -but not a single step seemed to do me harm. I only have a little dog and he looks beefed up...

Evil Dress in Suits
The morning filled with beauty and luster creeps slowly under the mangrove tree and anchored along the tropical coast where the skies, sea and my lover frequently meet. Something unusual was going on there that disperse tension in the atmosphere and the shrubs planted along the shores breeds a kind of bird that make their...

Echoes of Purpose
Every sunrise held a whisper, a silent call to ink the day. We chased horizons, not for gold or glory, but for the thrill of the narrative unfolding. Each step, a verse; every challenge, a turning page. We lived, always, for the story that begged to be told. ...

Premium Member At the Grocery Store
Five items in my shopping cart. Pull into the line for fifteen items or less. One customer ahead of me. Middle-aged woman with twenty items arguing with the clerk. I have an appointment in half an hour. “Lady, you have too many items!” If looks could kill, she’d be dead. ...

Born of Abandoned Hope
Graciousness forms the apparel of the meek, tempered in blistering hues of aura crafted with the breath of exhaustion sinking deep into the soul of the soulless, there it wanders with eyes open wide, a pop of life silenced by its surroundings, forsaken lands filled with despotic nature, crucified their interior along with their exterior, proceeding cautiously as it gravitates toward the center, connecting humble origins placing the palm...

Paint Your Reality
Paint your reality Paint your reality Reality kicks in You grab your brush And trust it's no rush To paint the perfect picture Doesn't always mean It's perfect With the right stroke The end result can be worth it Have you really just looked deep within And really brought it out Starting with the sketch Filling in...
