Premium Member In the secret whispers of the night, I watch how the world shatters into a galaxy of stars
In the secret whispers of the night, I watch how the world shatters into a galaxy of stars, Each spark is an untold story, a broken dream, a silent sigh of the cosmos. Traveling through the darkness, we dance under suns reborn from hesitant light, Each ray is a fresh beginning, a winged promise, a whisper of hope. I...

When the glass shatters
When will she ever learn? That mending a broken glass Much like a broken soul Then give it back to the breaker Will only ever result in the same situation Haven't years of sitting in a physics class ever taught her anything? An experiment done in same unchanged circumstances Will always result in the same conclusion The conclusion...

My oldest son, one of the few Earth-mattering Earth-shattering Black lives I was made to protect to guide by eco-righteous WinWin acts and co-passioning words, Felt, and therefore was, disempowered, worthless, like helpless prey among predators who listen to the same rap, same urban Earth writes, same multicultural performances, When a gun was dispassionately pointed at his head. This was only tangentially about an economic exchange primal, personally and politically,...

Empty As the Hourglass Shatters
for I am left empty as the hourglass shatters, my heart never matters- the rain pitter-patters. I cease to exist in the timepiece of yesterday’s grains. draining the days away, forever lost in lonely memories. I stacked sandbags against the river of your anguish, and the dam breaks with perpetual insignificance. my only desire was to bestow kindness, bring you the...

Death has come this year; still it comes, ever creeping. It comes for others in my life and in my family. To one who wielded great control, it came as she lay sleeping. All power gone, she did succumb to that grim reaper’s call. It comes for others now. I know with certainty because more often now I see its...

Words as empty as the hourglass shatters Lay scattered across their bedroom floor Hearts drained of anything that matters Crumbled as fine as particles of sand Promises gone forevermore Left no reason for either to demand They pursue counseling if they dare No one cared enough to try anymore Time left nothing for them to share Love watched them walk out the door June 26,...

Empty As the Hourglass Shatters The sand is slowly passing through... the seconds, minutes, hours of time. Now precious grains show less to view, for time is scarce and slowing down to sandy streams that flow sometime... begin, then stop, resume, shutdown. No chance to flip for a new start, for the last grain will sound the chime as shattered hourglass falls apart... along with...

hand in hand the news sink in as their world collapses and scatters the veil over their head ever so thin they parade largo in a daze hollow eyes clouded by spatters treasuring however many days loud incessant echoing ring of chime undying love to the soul all that matters across the gritty sands of time till empty as the hourglass shatters submitted on...

I lie trying to read, but my heart maunders as the rain taps at my red eyes window pane. The loneliness niggles as my mind ponders. My spirit empty as the hourglass shatters. God give me silence from the weight grip of pain. Bleakness devouring days lying in tatters; music of my soul evaporates like smoke. Unsought tears finally run somewhere and...

Empty as the hourglass shatters, then falls Upon the floor of love forevermore To feel sad eyes weeping from eyelid walls Close tight from love's dark realms of shades abused When seeing shadows flee the open door To fill the saddest eyes of love recused These painful orbs will stare through shades of blue With memories from love known once before In...

Shatters of Lightning
SHATTERS OF LIGHTNING An electric axe shatters the station wagon window And the little girl cowers in the front seat confused As tornados of glass swirl like lightning bugs striking the window. She used to be haunted by those spritely creatures, Yet as the dark sharpness settles, the mysterious spirits whisk away. She is alone with the glass, which...
