Premium Member There'll Be A Place
My soul’s a shell with wind of time That blows inside forever The hollow roar of waves it hides Although its calm as ever My mind’s a desolated street To fields of green and meadows It leads but not a face I meet Beneath the tangled shadows Gone is the 16 Marroway Gone is the Jansel Square The garden where Pippa played Has vanished in...

Premium Member Something cracked the shell
Frail heart's are weak minded bigots I felt this disturbance enter into the light this cold dark cloud burning below zero it sends the shivers coming from its shadow The broken record begins scratching a surface ingrowing putting the needle between words sewn deeply rooted the reflection appears mirrored frozen watching this crossover it all...

Premium Member In the deep silence of the evening, I remember her needs hidden like a pearl in the shell of time
In the deep silence of the evening, I remember her needs hidden like a pearl in the shell of time, the same as yours and mine, never forgotten, never postponed by the wind of oblivion, a dream that blooms like a flower of light at dawn, carrying promises of infinity and hope, a desk where ideas take wing...

PINK SCALLOP SHELL
PINK SCALLOP SHELL Along my road to Freedom stood showy blue-green sentinels with white cloud whiffs representing Sky starling decorated bushes joined Party of the Road to nowhere this was where Freedom danced naked, her shadowed body awaiting with roasted chestnuts she met us with a hug and drums on I moved to dissolve into River braincells becoming numinous atomic...

The Shell
Hard and rigid The life so lived and so painful Lived to be smart, your own way and left this world wanting more Hard and broken, rigid and angry Soft and beautiful The life so lived and a beautiful soul Lived to be free, enjoy all things and left the world way too soon Soft and loved, beautiful memories...

Where Did I Go Wrong?
I was young, bright full of promise, full of light. High school passed in a blur, a victory too soon, too fast. They cheered, they clapped, Mom wept with pride, but I barely had time to feel it. Then the world changed. Tertiary welcomed me, but fate had other plans. A silent storm stole my path, cutting dreams before they could bloom. I searched, I fought,...

Shell: Jane Grey
Shell (Jane Grey) The Knights are all lining up to have their taste of me. Because I'm quiet and demure of the weak and tired and pure they lock us up forevermore. Their whispers and their shouting too, always surrounded, what's a Queen to do? But sit back and take I know their words are only fake. But a different...

Premium Member but a shell
ghosts … peek every corner these walls were the vessel of a family - the body of a progenic spirit that inhabited these bones of wood and plaster and glass … and hope for nearly four tens of years … a blood of intent and care coursed these walls - surging with amity and loving instruction it’s familial marrow warmed by two happy and humble hearts...

Ghost in a Snail Shell
In the alleys of mirrors, reflections stare back with faces I've yet to covet. The cacophony of screams and whispers, a post-coital slack-jawed pause, the aftermath of endless nights and getting lost in vorpal holes of unwritten rules. Where pornographers masquerade as poets, sacrificing Eros on the altar of analysis. I squirm on the auto-da-fé...
