Premium Member One With the Night
I cherish the night. Its’ silent darkness surrounds me like a soft blanket and I snuggle deeply within it. Its gentle atmosphere hovers above me and calms my thoughts like a shield of protection from the consequences of the day. Its’ quiet, calm, reassurance that the day's bustle has ended, and that peace and rest are promised in the interlude before morning. My fears are quelled, my hopes...

Premium Member In the labyrinth of warmth, I sought refuge in the cold room of frozen memories
In the labyrinth of warmth, I sought refuge in the cold room of frozen memories, From the cold room, I fled to the coffin of unspoken promises, And from the coffin? Only the bare hands of time bury constellations in the soul, Though coffins are perhaps the cheapest homes in real estate listings, No cell is lonelier than a...

Refuge Darkness surrounds me. No moon or stars to guide me. I am lost with no hope. The path is narrow and the journey long. Perils and predators lurk in the black forest. In the midst of my gloom, I stumble into a clearing. A warm light beckons me. A comfortable cabin awaits me. My steps quicken to reach the door. A rush of restored...

An Artist Refuge
Slava Ukraini! shroud the gallery's glass doors, a solitary scene of grazing goats, greets the guests along with music. Confident, brush strokes curl muted colors of rustic farm houses behind broken, split-rail fences on a cloudy Carpathian day drawn by an artist sitting in ruined, ravished Kherson - a limping dog of a city with patches of bare skin showing. Other pictures, different story; dark, dreadful, desolate people in...

IN YOUR REFUGE GOD
Hey God, if I can’t take her, take her, My heart’s a grave, don’t wake her, wake her. Her laughter stings like glass in the veins, If she's poison, let it break her, break her. Nights fall heavy, shadows dance and mock, If love’s a joke, just make her faker, faker. I’ve chained my soul to her absent touch, If I’m the...

Premium Member Handle With Care
Handle With Care Handle with care, treasure with ten tiny toes, Once protected in my warm, maternal womb. So fragile, so frail, so heaven only knows, where to find refuge in this wide world of doom. My Child, as you and my anxiety grows, By the grace of God, faith found a little room. Understanding my weaknesses, I adjust, And in...

Premium Member Window to the Soul
Window to the Soul The eyes of lovers are open doors, unlocked by true love and intimacy. Each of us holds ourselves captive in that inner panic room, that shelter we begin building upon our first disappointment and heartbreak. Every hurt and betrayal adds a brick or stone…a log or nail to that tranquil room...

In the Storm's Embrace, God's Love, My Refuge
In the chaos of my mind, where uncertainty reigns, God's love whispers softly, soothing all my pains. When overwhelmed by life's relentless tide, His peace flows gently, becoming my guide. In moments of doubt, when darkness looms near, His love shines brightly, casting out all fear. Through storms and trials, He remains steadfast and true, Embracing me tenderly, seeing me through. Though the...

You, gorgeous Muse, with velvety skin The sugary sap of my poetic pen And the sole labyrinth of my soul You inspire me and I adore you. You are my perennial spring smile The garden of my ethereal flowers The leitmotif of my dreams in exile And the fictional oasis of the fall showers. You are the guardian angel who's never absent And the...
