Shallow end
Why do we mingle in the shallow end. Yet allow ourselves to drown in the deep end. Why do we allow ourselves to put our guard down when it should be up. Why do we allow ourselves to Continue to fall for simple words. My heart is blocked and sealed. My walls are up and no longer Want to feel. I want to be...

Premium Member Shallow Hours
In Shallow Hours, graves are dug By words morose, Their hollow powers seem mundane, But are much worse. Being Lonely in a crowded room, With empty words Muttered by survivors; Whose frosty breath in time, With second hand, Will still ones heart with breach of mind From gestures grand; So gentle souls as we, Will speak...

A Shallow Creek to Nowhere
In flood the creek is still a walk over. A listless washing of the land, a hesitant flow, never meant to be a tributary, or delta of anything at all. The opaque water meanders through sunken banks then after a few miles, seeps into a wallow of bottomland. It recently has been given a name, a new housing development built beside...

Premium Member Victory Is Overrated
They call it a race, but it feels more like a circus— tightropes stretched over flames, clowns tripping over their own pride, while I, in my worn sneakers, stroll past their delicate egos. Let them shout. Their speed is a gunshot— all noise, no aim. I’ve got the calm of a bassline, the steady rhythm of knowing that slow doesn’t mean weak. Victory? It’s a cheap bottle...

Premium Member Shallow Dreams
I fell into a shallow dream as often as I have, and do; amongst sleep and wake where things seem so nebulous between the two. A dead leaf floating down a stream; the cold unknown lurking below;  the radiance of sun on high, slow winding in the gentle flow while some familiar friends drop by; a mourning dove, a cawing crow. There’s wonder in our...

Premium Member Shallow Graves
Shallow Graves Miracle Man 2/4/2024 Memories, we inter in a shallow grave, are the one’s we’re better off forgetting. Perhaps we were wronged and never forgave, and time’s lateness now finds us regretting. “Peace of mind catnaps on a bed of feathers, while anxiety lies tense on ticking filled with straw.” Tom ...

The Shallow Depths
You have sent for me to calm the impeccable sea, you have sent for me to set your spirit free, they have been up all night beating drums and doing some strange ritual under the golden sun, they walked for hours in groups of two and threes to get to the troubled sea,...
