Premium Member Say it like it is
We feel God’s hand placed right over our head, His grace in-pouring through the fontanel and as we are in this manner spoon-fed, bliss rapture rises boding all is well. There’s no urgency for soul to ascend, for there remain no goalposts to defend, as breath by breath we behold in surprise, the dance divine taking us to new highs. ...

When You Say It’s Just Love
“Why are you so obsessed? It’s just love — why suffer that much?” A patient who just had a stroke. What do you expect them to say but not being able to move? I tried to feel sorry to understand the first time you told me about her — your loyal, broken love story. You waited for her at the same old bus stop, for hours, cried under the rain. While...

Never Say That Word
It is a small word with a big bite, the worst ever heard; it is just not polite. If you could hold it, it would feel like a ton. Beware not to use it; it hurts, even in fun. It never feels nice. It should never be heard. Please take my advice, and use another word. You know how it feels when someone says it to you. It takes...

Who Can Ever Say
The thought of touching our trembling hands was a wish as impossible as happiness, the further we went, the closer we felt; can strangers meet up and be friends? Who can ever say we aren't meant for each other, being a waste of effort. If dreams are build on solid ground, there should no abstacles in our way; a strong faoth...

Do you feel you must really say sorry, Or are you flippant, don’t give it much worry, Do you feel out of obligation you must Say sorry, believe me, that’s not very brainy, Does your heart want to break if you don’t, Or do you simply think, why should I, I won’t, Have you been taught as a child to regret Do...
