Where is God hiding,
within this organic form,
a question as old as time.

Oh revered hermit,
both heart and the fontanel,
shine with light of the heavens.

Love is old.
As old as time.
Love is following me.
I wish it would die.

Premium Member Your Voice

Your voice caresses me with its timbre and resonance,
stirring a want to rest safe in your arms,
yet exciting my spirit,
stirring a restless passion,
a hunger as old as time.

Corruption

It is as old as time.
Yet not even age could
Dampens its destructive
Powers. Like the molten
Lava of an erupted volcano,
Every facet of our lives
It touches incinerates
To cinders


Hear

Stuck in front of camera
waiting to hear the cut
Speaking words secondhand
And thinking all unthought
And letters old as time
cower in the shadow of forgotten
and communication
Just 
lines of ones and noughts

Kiriko

Sakura, blooming late in March
Midori, green like rice fields wide
Kitsune, as old as time itself
Kimono, crimson and white as pearl
Kunoichi, brave and strong
Miko, dedicated and true
Kiriko, my heart beats for you <3

Lite-Brite

Not just a plastic peg
You reflect the light below 
Born into a guiding template 
Cast members for the show

We play until our light burns out
Game rules as old as time
Look within and find the source
A true self paradigm

Premium Member The Windfarms

Whirling gently on the hilltops,
Idling lightly in the breeze,
New technology old as time,
Driven wind making power.
Finest set in Australia,
Always turning, never sleeping,
Round and round they go.
Magical, merry windmills,
Snowtown they surround.

Ache

I am sick with want
a hand to touch 
a kiss to hold
an ache for something
old as time, but new and
blooming. 

To feel my teeth against 
teeth
To laugh at how simple
falling in love is

To love, stupid fumbling
love, unendingly
to open my heart

All Still Dance

we dance the old dance
as old as time itself yet
ever fresh each day

who knows its real name
how long it’s been around or
cares who danced it first

lift turn sway lunge bend
at the shore on ballroom floors
in the desert sands

the heart of the world
beats to the rhythm of love
all still dance to it

Window to the Soul

I lie in bed,
With dread,
Accomplished nothing,
My future is aching.

Wasting away my youth,
This being my gospel truth,
A tale as old as time,
I’ve squandered my prime.

Lack the will and the wit,
To do it,
I need to get a grip,
Before I slip.

Instead, I consume,
Consume,
Consume,
Consume.

My eyes hurt.

The Unsung Life

For what is life,but today
A tale as old as time.
But no mater what men can say,
Or put it in a rhyme,

A life,no man can tame,
And destiny lies wait.
For here tomorrow not the same,
Is twisted by our fate.

But what can man see today,
That shall be on the morrow.
Will it bring joys my way,
Or bring eternal sorrow?

Mother Nature

You are as old as time it 
self,though beauty 
defines you,through the 
breathtaking scenes,you 
insipired us,though we 
harm  you at  times,we 
do know your wrath, we 
know we can count on 
you,with your caring  
arms you carry us,you 
allow us to change you 
but you will always be my 
mother nature love XoXO 
MAMA LOVE U

Persevere

"I'm slow of tongue
  "it always hits a hitch.
"When I try a song
  "it ends in a ditch!

"I'm slow of foot
  I've a frail pace
"My speed has no root
  "I falter in the race!

"The same with school
  "I can hardly score
"I'll remain a fool
  "with naught in store!"

Rue of the current clime
Is as old as time...
Work hard more an' more
You'll hit your score!

Heartsong

When desire awakes..
The lingering ghost of years lost
Eyes hold each other up in prayer
Indeed,they pray in songs.

Wicked paths hands a'tracing
To a journey of no return
On bended knees and sheer reverence
Stripped of all else,but a smile

Reasoning is lost in this primal tune
Two melomaniacs lay down and dance
The melody is old as time
The beat is their heartsong!

Wildflowers

Do you ever wonder why when girls name themselves
They always choose the names of flowers it's because we were meant to be wild
We were meant to dance barefoot on hallowed ground
To long for the moon
We were born of stars, of the Earth
Oceans and Rivers
In our veins lies a magic as old as time itself
These bodies heavenly
The secret of life in our celestial spines

Steel Magnolia

(STEEL) MAGNOLIA
 Breathtaking,
 Delicate beauty
 Of Creamy Perfection
 With Roots Running Deep
 In Southern Soil,
 A history almost
 As old as time,
 And endurance
 As tough as
 Steel;
 She defies description
 And explanation
 But...
 Beauty is its own excuse

Island

ISLAND

This small island sits just offshore in warm shallow water. 
Formed by age-old coral which is as old as time, a small oasis. 
Many types of life flourish here from bright birds of paradise 
to long deadly sea snakes. On this timeless place nature rules 
her own little world where man never ventures 
for a sea mist always hides this small place, 
never seen twice, an optical illusion.

Tale As Old As Time

A tranquil, Autumn stroll
Parched Northern air
The day would soon unfold
The preceding day’s heir

A humble October chill
Tickles nature’s spine
A predictable daily twill
A tale as old as time

An array of colored trees
Umbrella the path beneath
Framing the dance of leaves
As Mother Nature breathes

Home, is soon in focus
As their walk comes to an end
They blow a gentle kiss
In hopes they meet again

Premium Member Going To a New Place

I want you to be free,
as you need to be,
no labels, or restrictions,
describe you and me.
But when I look deeply in your eyes
Of incandecent blue,
or any part of my lips,
brush against any part of you,
hunger and desire as old as time,
flows thru my nerve endings and mind.
Compelling me to possess you completely,
clinging as tightly and 
for as long as we possibly can,
going to a new place,
unknown to us.

Reunited

starlit night
glow of the moon
october breezes spice the air
as the glow of the fire highlights your hair

spirits circle as embers glow
souls entwined in the nights embrace
my heart i trace on your cheek slow
the magic i feel, when i touch your face

spirits from the past
old as time and rust
we stare reunited
those spirits they are us....

across the oceans of time
between now and then
we meet in the middle
reunited again.....

Nay Say I

Nay say I
the cart 
will not  
be put 
before the horse
wisdom as old as time
I will therefore 
not
tacitly
or 
overtly 
tip the nod
in “bro” fashion
in support   
of your comments
about your wife’s cooking
not until 
I have dined at her table
and tasted her cooking 
which 
I am sure
cannot be
as bad 
as you say it is
I am absolutely positive 
that a woman
with legs and a figure like hers 
will cook like an angel.

Kardia Thief

This story is as old as time
But it feels new to me
A girl to whom I'd give the world
But it will never be.

Why is it that I have no say
In what my heart desires
My sadomasochistic mind
Which starts internal fires.

My subconscious is mocking me
And laughing at my sorrow
It ceases for the shortest time
Just to return tomorrow.

I try to shake this futile dream
But I can't help this feeling
Inside my heart
Which part, by part
She's unconsciously stealing.

HUNGER

I have no boundaries…
I have an unusual equanimity;
The equality I possess is extraordinary.
The world over, I have no chosen pity;
Like death, I practice an unusual democracy.
Matters not to me who and where you may be;
I’m there in every city, state, or distant country.
There will always be a place for the likes of me;
I’ve survived in the best and poorest family.
I’m as old as time—still here ticking too;
Hey, get to do what you need to do.
