Premium Member A Sense of Belonging
"Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: The desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other's eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire." ~Maggie Gallagher We've been slow dancing— romancing in a seductive prelude Wooed by the...

Mocking Mbevi
Flaunting bliss like a golden medal He struts about like a valiant prince, Frowning at every sensible locution: To mar and blemish and hurt and wince. He knows no sense Nor appreciates status, His bliss is supreme law: Brain's self-breaking hiatus. He’s doomed to total damnation And kisses that fact with glee; Beckoning his annihilation With feather-brained mirth. ...

Premium Member Life Doesn't Make Sense
Hot water freezes faster than cold Wearing layers in the heat keeps you cool Hummingbirds are the most aggressive bird Sometimes life doesn't make sense There are seashell fossils on mountain tops On Venus, a day is longer than a year Your head ages slightly faster than your feet Sometimes life doesn't make sense I know I'm not perfect And neither are we But together...

Beyond Human Sense
An invisible decree, a cosmic speed limit, unyielding and absolute. Through vacuums it dances, a silent swift messenger, carrying the echoes of stars. Time bends in its presence, distances shrink, reality warps at its approach. We measure the universe by it, a fundamental constant, a yardstick of existence. Yet, we cannot grasp its velocity, it outruns our senses, a concept beyond human intuition. It illuminates the past, the light years a...

Premium Member Lost All Sense
I gave you everything I had All of me I held nothing back I believed You were a man of integrity But you were less than honest You broke every single promise You made me. I've lost all sense I just can't perceive How you could use me And just leave I'm blind to the sight Of your face I'm numb to the feel Of your embrace I try to breathe...

Conflict between Sense and Emotions
Stop doing this dross things With concealing correct reality, Half you feel, half you being Say that, secret in your fraternity. Decorate life with the whole delight, Endure deceit of the dark fate, Contrary things can consume light And remember the things that don't get. Selfishness control with calm emotions, Mind may dismal your Divine dress, Every part of life pay hard motions, Stuck sadness when...

Premium Member She gambled
She gambled on you She walked a bridge too far You didn't feel it true It was too high a bar She could have tried talking That way she would've known Behind your infatuation Real affection hadn't grown She thought there was a bond A mystical dream But the wizard lost his wand You were just a prop in...

Sense of the End
"You're as beautiful as the day I lost you." The sky is as blue as the day we said goodbye My heart is as heavy as it was when we said our last I love you My taste buds taste something as sweet as our last kiss My nose twitches as it smells something as strong as your perfume My...

Words are funny
Time is a word used to understand things that have passed, A word that could mean slow or conceptually fast, Do you understand what that means, Or do you grab on and fly by those pant seams, We use words to try to make sense of things, From cosmological couplings to New York fashion flings, A verbal frequency somehow makes sense, For...

Premium Member Flower Power
Sartre was precise in his definition of hell Excluded from humanity for just a case of birth I’m punished for the others and why they’ll never tell I’m living through insanity of those who rule the earth Don’t count on the nation thing, this is exaggeration Don’t intergrate me with the subject that I’m not No Charlie Hebdo cover depicts...

Premium Member Make It Make Sense
Seems like the country is in a freefall Will reasonable people answer the call Corruptible actions moving through the twilight zone No way this would be acceptable, if only we’d known The daily news is becoming so depressing Hold on to your sanity without stressing Misinformation so abundant, it boggles the mind Discernment is the medicine to loosen the bind Chaos and disruption...

I held my breath — as Darkness crept — A fragile Thread — of Light — In Shadows deep — where Whispers dwell — I clasped — with all my Might — The Moments danced — yet still I stay — In Twilight’s Arms — the Heartbeats thrum — A battle — Night to...
