As time always sped by
You can't read this in the headlines
There won't always be a next time

...Sea

I am inherently patient,
I just go with the flow.
I have many dark secrets,
No one will ever know.

Sea Foam

...The waves beat at the shore
Abruptly pouncing

Water blissfully ...

Sweet sensations showering down
Sweeter than sugar, a seasoning
Saltier than the seas, soft and sensual
Sultry beneath sensitive breaths of

Laudator Temporis Acti

...Methinks all antediluvian Love was
Whiter than snows atop higher tors;
And with more troth dudes did kiss
Purer maidens for pleasanter bliss.

I deem Art shortly after Noah’s Ark
To have been o...

Premium MemberWhen They See My Wing Shadow They Know

...When I am on the hunt if I want fresh
I choose young, it is always fresher meat.
Young bunnies, squirrels, rats, moles, voles.

I'M Lost

...I'm a song
Written in free verse
By a poet
A poet with no words

I'm a soul
Blowin' with the hurricane
Like a teardrop
Saltier than rain 

I'm a phrase
With no meaning as such
In a langua...
