Dear God

Dear God,
What did I do
To deserve this?
In a past life,
Did I feed the hungry?
Did I shelter the homeless?
I must have saved the world
To be worthy of this

Premium Member Valentino’s Past Life

He meowed once, lost his jersey “r,”
“La-guad-ee-ah,” says; so far
from normal and his, “house shoes.”
It’s “slippers,” past life breakthroughs.
The bizarre O language of love, thus far.
Form: Limerick


Premium Member Wonders

Wonders of the world a
welcome guest house for those
wounded blue mood psyches 
who ramble golden vales 
when past life ghosts appear
while scenic haunts postmark 
ways to blissful solace
Form: Verse

Wigglies

Saw one squirming out of the drain
Was it an earthworm or a baby snake?
Must it think the loo a posh place?
Tried washing it back to its home
Stubbornly held on, refused to go
Perhaps its left its past life below?
Form: Verse

Almost Guilty

Occasionally I cry,
Overwhelming joy, 
Sadness is deprived
Seems Surreal
I found the real deal,
I feel almost guilty
Like it's a steal
Must have been a saint in a past life,
I'll soon be lucky enough to be his wife

Rebirth of a criminal baby

What did I do to you in my past life to get what you give in this one 
What crime did I commit to you to get you to love me like you do
Is there anything I can do to pay for my crimes or will this be my eternal punishment

Met With Death

The gracious have met with death,
The vile have never returned,
To speak with those of the past life,
I may never hear from her,
However I do indeed speak to her,
In words, in mind, in love,
With the woman I called Nonny.

Chaos

If there was a past life
We
Where together then
If there is a life after death
We
Will  be together again
But for now 
We
Only have the present
And every  second that
We
Are apart
A million stars
Die
And chaos rules
supreme

Someone Behind Me

I can't see but feel.
The dog's trotting, sniffing on all sides;
bark, runs towards me, stops and ran back,
maybe looking for someone
or maybe something lost in a past life
Who's behind me?
Suddenly I realized.
the dog had chased my own shadow.

Premium Member Not Dead Yet

caterpillars live
time in the dark...
laboring till a dawn of flight
and a past life to remember...
and, caterpillars don't understand
those choices that butterflies have...
the cognitions that are not as unwell but
wisdoms in children voices remembered...

Premium Member Minds Off Course

Past life ghosts they drift and creep
spread their bile on those who sleep
cold as ice with no soft side 
For mud bound stains dug so deep

The Calling

Opened eyes 
reminiscing of the life 
That must have been
Centuries ago 

royal courts & palaces 
Science literature & art
virtue & honour 
Filled with glory 
A regal life

Back to present
Found a new lease
With a realisation 
The calling of this life

For Diamante

Memories
                        Anchor, Durable
       Sweet, Heterogeneous, Unforgettable
A store of past life and is different all the times
              Realistic, Worthful, Trustable
                         Teacher, Bitter
                           Experiences

To All My Friends and Lovers

whom are soley responsible,
for influencing me into the person i am today
for a decade of friendship
whose term is expired
the sad truth of everlasting solitude
reigns supreme, under the night's sky
the remarkable rememberance of
a past life
whereas we were one:
now seperate

The Short Bliss Before Sleep

A vivid flashback went off
It was a scene from a decade ago
I had never recall it before
I blinked and wanted more
It was one of my life’s best moments
It was like taking a glimpse of my past life from heaven
It only lasted for a few seconds and was gone
I tried to catch it but only caught some z’s

Premium Member Past Is A Teacher

Past Is A Teacher Miracle Man 1/5/2025 In reviewing our past life, which we cannot rearrange. Let it become our instructor, on habits we must change. Our past can be a good instructor, “It’s been there, done that.”, By ignoring its teachings, more of what’s past is begat.

March 1

It’s march 1st
Day one of spring
The birds are chirping
The wasps and bees are buzzing
The flowers are blossoming
The mammals are awakening
I am too
I am returning from my winter hibernation
I have shed the skin of my past life 
I am chirping
I am buzzing
I am blossoming 
I am awakening
I am spring

Snake Eyes

I am the worst of a past life.
She reveled.
She cherished.
I am wavelengths.
I don’t believe a gravestone tells much.
Or can be sold for much. 
In flux.
We are each frayed ends of dead ends.
We are each other’s dead flowers.
We are each snake eyes.
Roll the dice and it will tell you you’re on life number 5.

Past Life

Drown demons in alcohol
I hear the devil's devilish call
Telling me to come here
With his pointy claws
Thinking back
When and where did I drop the ball
When and where did I fall
How did it go all wrong
How and for how long
Inside the husk of hallow songs
This is where I belong
Sucking sustenance through a straw
Form: Rhyme

Crazy

Crazy

Something breaks the silence
Something that I fear
Echoes of a past life 
Ringing in my ear

Fate is softly talking
Bringing forth a tear
Screaming for his pleasure
Stimulating fear

Hide inside your shadow
Cannot escape his leer
Cannot seem to silence 
All the things I hear
