			       what now?

The One Who Survives


Ten men
War clouds roll in
Bullets rain, fight the storm
Eighteen hands now crossed, under flags
Folded

Embers

Winter whips through bones
Dispelling comfort and warmth
Yet for all its chill
My heart retains joy profuse
For our love survives untouched

Suburban Sidewalk

An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town.

Premium Member Broken but not defeated

Time meanders, drifts idle in the midst.
Sinuous it undulates so not to stagnate.
One breath at a time, barely survives.

Tragedy does not triumph over justice
Justice survives after the tragedy
Tragedy is only the milestone of justice
Justice is eternal, tragedy is momentary.

Open the door gates
Without any refrain to 
Pure love that survives 
The hardships that suddenly 
Appear without a notice

The Depth of a Rose

In the very depths of hell,
Lies a frozen rose in its hollowed soil,
 Bathed by scorching flames daily.
Yet it still survives by,
The love I once held for you.

Premium Member who survives death

who survives death?
If you are a spiritualist,
you have faith that we all do.
If you are religious, you might be more discerning
believing only a chosen few do.

Premium Member Crucifixion

crucifixion
is coming in
a seasonal belief
of an unfolding
story of separation..
the lenten question 
is whether the 
belief survives 
another crucifixion...

When Passion Rules

When lies aren't spoken,
Hearts are never broken
Because with passion as its fuel,
True love will ever rule
For real love never dies,
Instead, it always survives

My Kind

Woman brave and kind
Woman who survives
Woman misunderstood
Woman who doesn’t hide
Woman who has pride
Woman who will not live a lie
Woman who is not afraid to die.

The One Who Survives

I know
                      the words barely 
                 speak of what lies hidden
           deep inside the heart of your soul
                          it's me.
