Premium MemberEnjoying A Late Night Savini Snack

as they
understand and
drive snorting
oxybenzene not
greatly unawares
of lightheaded
reflective breath
a spiteful
zombie confronting
again brainwashed
beret sociopath
unfalteringly abusive
handicap boloney
that parade
marches gloatingly
gutenberg freebee
would gratify
faulty ghost
with nonsweet
buttercup ooze
always demonstrate
rinse towel
you encounter
this reschedule

Premium MemberSAVIOR THIS, MY CHILD

SAVOUR THIS, MY CHILD  

Nothing reflects reality
Like God’s supreme beauty.
Look into the mirror, child,
And see His greatest reward:
Savour it in thanksgiving, for a while:-
No matter how many times you do,
You’ll always see God’s precious beauty
Looking back at you: this will always be true:-
Know that your beauty has its fragility, needing
To be anchored and solidified before it can be 
Sanctified utility: codifying its glorifying liberty:-

lost friendships reconnected at high school reunions

Premium MemberDiploma by Sundown

Three thousand chairs are crammed across the field,
A sea of cheap black gowns and melting ice.
We’re sitting trapped without a sunlit shield,
While sweat drips down my neck to mock me twice.   
The principal yells names at breakneck pace,   
A steady roar from "Aaron" down to "Zane."   
I’m stuck somewhere around the middle space,   
My rear is numb, my brain feels like pure pain.   
By letter M, the afternoon turns harsh,   
Lost in a sea of gowns forevermore.
Are we graduating or trapped in a marsh?
The kid beside me starts to nod and snore.
Three thousand names read off without a pause—
I only stayed because my mom said I had to!

Premium Member" Rebel of the Shadows"

I experienced early on the block
Don't respect a rebel

So I etched my own lane, created 
On truth,

And battled every day just to
Earn my come-up

' Cause the streets only fear a real rebel

One who won't fold, won't flex from the truth. 

Some twilights I bled for the cost of truth

But discomfort never immobilized  my

Hierarchy rise,

It only amplified the fire in a rebel. 

Rebel, truth, rise; the lore I transmit through 

The shadows

WHEN SPRING CAME    

With spring, pollen came;
With pollen, the achoo came:
Juicy fruits came too:-

Premium Memberhigh school reunions

old friends with spouses
and new lives

long lost communications
people moved away

gathered in one room
brought together by one thing

"high school reunion"

we talk about old times
nothing seems to have changed that much

just our age and looks
our memories stayed the same

we exchange numbers and addresses
promises of keeping in touch

losing track ago 
for another five years

Premium MemberBut What About Those Eyes

I don't know whether his eyes were green or blue,
but what I do know
is that he jumped on my orange cupcakes.
Creamy and delicious
were those high school days.

Eyes drop, shy, mine,
but electricity shocks.
Twenty-five years later
I get that hug, I would have died for,
so many years before.

My best friend almost gave it away,
“Why didn't you tell me?”
(A little too loud)
I said, “That's why!”

Red hair, but what color?
Irish, but what about them eyes?
Surely, they weren't muddy.
It was clear to me,
that I made just dessert,
for you. If anyone else stood near,
I have no recollection.
I think he smiled
and licked his lips.
