In my happy place:

In my store at my own pace.

Birthplace
I’m raised

Big part
My heart

God’s gift
Hate drifts

Less strains
Love reigns

I long
Belong

Strong bond
Faith mound

Dreams’ core
Hope soars

I rest
The Best!

Bailey, Made 8-20-18

Back in my birthplace, though it has no dazzle 
Jays still fly gracefully by its castle
By the olden hill it stands
As the mill in the hinterlands
Is turning in the wind
Like a tough rhino's skin 
Earthen fortress, tough front wall
Yield? Never! I am a barrier tall
me

Where Memories Rule

Our childhood homes gone and all their effects,
brand-new highway fills that space.
School replaced by a government complex.
But… the graveyard remains in place,
our playground on the way to school.
Log cabin monument, way cool -
staunch marker where memories rule.

Premium Member Pathways

The pathways we follow
   are too oft chosen for us

Our birthplace or breeding 
   as to flowers their seeding

Schools and society too have their way
   framing whatever they want us to say

Hearts need to express their deepest yearnings
   toward the pathways our feet someday will be turning

An Encyclopedia of Lore History

The world is black if you see it from earth
The world is white if you stand upon it
This world is the power
of the creatures of night
and it's king has the power 
to lessen it's might...

This is the entry to the history of Lore:
the planet that give earth it's night.
and the birthplace of NightHeart.

I Am-03

I have no complain 
I am not alone 
Loneliness never touch me 

I am alone in crowded 
But into myself I am and me- the duet echo, 
All through several echo of me and my inside, 
A ritual form of corpse- soul and I am 

No, never I was alone 
from womb to birthplace 
within love- 
love of myself, 
my echo!

Tribute To Bas

Bas’ video of Africa really inspired me 
Just riding on the Nile river Casually 
He got me thinking bout my life, my family 
My roots, my ancestors, my legacy
The real eastside--cradle of humanity 
The birthplace of knowledge & reality 
What’d you think, happen magically? 
Kings & queens, put on a boat, tragically

Home Sweet Home

I have traveled to and fro
To know that there is no place
Like home Sweet home
Charity begins at home because
You're a strange native to other
Natives home Sweet home
Home is an asset so a man
Without a good home is a
Grown stranger to his people
Your home is your origin
Your birthplace is a turning point
Home Sweet home

Premium Member Our Country Home

In our country home beneath the moonlit sky

The hearth burns brightly with ardent flames.

Our wealth is scant and pockets dry.

However, our spirits soar untamed

A patch of earth where dreams are sown

Symbolic of our hope's embrace

With hands we toil, and seeds are grown.

We are rich in love at this birthplace.

Reality


Bizarre world
With bizarre people
Dwelling with pseudo reality
To "go with the flow"
Unborn dreams
Unspecified dreams
Die down
Perish 'n lay down
in the birthplace itself
or stay hidden forever
in the deep heart's core
To live your pseudo reality
you question others' ill-doings

How about questioning your own sanity?

Elements

Invisible yet powerful
The wind is, of course, the most respected
Of the elements
But what about water? 
With multiple personalities
The seas rage
Then there is fire
Strong and beautiful and majestic
Topping them all- but remember the Earth
The foundation
The birthplace of all plant life on this planet
Maybe they're all important.

Premium Member Idyllic

Appears a mysterious land from far, 
Dream of vermilion sky at mystic dawn
Prayers heard from boats on holy river,
Mythical chants floating in consciousness. 
My birthplace - ancient city reminding
Of vedas and epics, saints and hermits,
A land of literature, poetry, 
Music, art, picturesque architecture... 
For thousands of years verses flow in air
land of Kalidasa and Valmiki.

Premium Member Let the Darkness Flow

Parade in the streets, eat corned beef,
And let the darkness flow.
St. James’s Gate is the birthplace.
Let the darkness flow.
Grand day for grazing, life’s amazing.
So let the darkness flow.
Jump in a reel or fiddle a jig.
Then let the darkness flow.
Drive out the snakes, embrace the blarney.
Letting the darkness flow.
It may be the day for wearing the green,
But let the darkness flow!

Premium Member Outside Presley's Birthplace

Often greatness comes from humble roots
Where none-expected talents lay hidden
Beneath veneers of undeveloped yearning,
Hiding like gemstones in hard rough slate
Until the master discovers facets that glisten.

Elvis Presley in Tupelo, Mississippi]

Home Is Where the Heart Belongs

Some say “East or West home is best”. They regard
their birthplace like Mecca to Muslims, or Jerusalem to Jews.
Food tastes better, air is much more refreshing, people friendlier,
wines warmer…. Life outside their homes is less than they expect,
like training yourself to take tea with less sugar.
For me, I think Home is where the heart belongs. A place you can feel
free to be who you really are.

Birthplace

Water milk warm
Honey sand so light
The breeze so soothing
Misty air sunshine filled
And your smile is more than just sweet

I am with myself
With seagulls near me
Lost sailors whispering
The sound of waves very calming
And pine trees pivoting in the sea

An escape of a thought
In this domain of freedom
Then crushed by thunder
A rainfall forced rainbow
And this story is salty air carried

Behind the Mask

A blank sheet of stationary
lays speechless beside a keyboard.
Scores of single letters and marks-
Inert symbols invented years
Lost to man’s recent memory.
Instruments of mental fury
And human eventemperedness.
What does fate hold in store for it?
Will it be a fiery paper
With memorable rhetoric
Or the birthplace of a poem?
Both are conceivable concepts
Yet the unsullied cellulose
Is mute waiting to be unmasked.
