Premium Member Stranger than fiction

Two quacks walking side by side
one looking one way, the other the other
disturbingly similar, they could be one
and never the twain shall meet...

Premium Member A Hot Chicken Sandwich

An old saying, “truth is stranger than fiction” Is a lot more truthful than the word of a chicken They don't trust humans The bond loosens When they're turned into a hot chicken sandwich

Orange Blossoms

after the firestorm
when the earth shakes her fury
the time of rainbows.....

her devastation
but a path 
to what cannot pass away
the spirit that thrives
inside orange blossoms
that roar and howl
with flesh 

stranger than fiction
stronger than chains
imprisoning 
then linking us to earth,

a flash,
here then gone.

Why

Why? Why do I write?
It's something I feel compelled to do.
It's like the pen controls me.
You don't believe it. Why? It's true.
It's stranger than fiction, 
the thoughts and ideas,
that race fast through my mind,
like a child from it's fears.
Out here voicing these emotions,
for everybody who feels the connection to.
Speaking, in a special way.
Why? I hope this also touches you!

Premium Member It S Not Rocket Science

Cup of Joe
Cut to the chase
Between a rock 
And a hard place
Back to square one
Piece of cake
Dime a dozen
Truth is stranger than fiction 

Cold turkey
Down and out
Down for the count
Down to Earth
Drawing a blank 
Easy as pie
Eat my hat
Go for broke 
Truth is stranger than fiction

Hands down
Happy as a clam
Hard pill to swallow
High and dry
Head over heels
Toe to toe

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Premium Member Ardhnarishwar

Right half male, left, female, as Shiva and Shakti together; our twin flames so unite, which evolved yogis so feel. Fact stranger than fiction no doubt, we do know someone, who feels as such. Ardhnarishwar, affirmed in scriptures, is mostly taken as folklore, dismissed by logical mind as a mere fairy tale, till we encounter, such a being, right in front of our eyes! 26-October-2021

Strange Like Friends

To be a stranger to another's soul
but deep inside you somehow know
All their trouble all their pain
All their fears, dance in rain.
Looks in eyes
the meaning in them
What it means, that side ways grin.
Or the way you bite you lip, i do the same
When I'm stressed not feeling my game.
That little nod that voice so deep
The sound that makes me peaceful sleep. 

Stranger than fiction some might say
I agree, it's more intimate that way.

Premium Member who can tell

it has been said that truth is stranger than fiction so perhaps what’s affirmed could be true although it seems unlikely ludicrous in fact that by controlling breath and visualising grace of imaginary deities along with chanting mantras and holding postures … we can realise God who we know not have never seen not even felt yet who can tell let us leave the door ajar ceasing thinking and just feeling the pulse of divine bliss magnetism within

Premium Member Decision To Fly

It has been a long time.
Summer of sixty-nine.
Dad, Uncle Don, and I
Their decision to fly.
Wires, you control type.
I ran and walked inside.
For Pepsi cold as ice.
Was there under five.
Had just arrived.
He hit a high-tension line.
The mega-volt kind.
The arcs flashed, pure white.
Blinding light, ten feet high.
As we knelt by his side
tears welled, began to cry.
It has been a long time.
My Dad survived.
Etched forever in mind.

Truth is stranger than Fiction.
