Premium Member As the Worm Turns

There once was vampire named Vlad.
His life was obscurely sad.
He ate a worm,
The tide did turn.
Now Vlad is famously bad.

As Emerald Turns To Red

warm mellow breezes
of rippled buttery sun
churn buckets of spring
into chameleon leaves--
burning red, fore winter's kiss

Stuff happens, we shrug our shoulders
   Life goes on, the young get older
Whatever will be, it's out of our hands
   We do not control time's precious sands

Premium Member Fear Turns To Relief

glorious orange flashes toward me
she looks so ominous due to being shark-colored too
i feel relief, as I realize what she is
a harmless manta ray
giant of the ocean

What if your memories stayed forever ?
What if in my life i meet someone new
I can't live in the present with them?
And the reason remains same 
That i don't have you?

she ate his snow cone

When Life Twists And Turns

Something shifts in the airscape
Like Lady Guabancex’s angry storm
Then wild winds spin around and dance
Becoming a beautifully chaotic song
Of our vastly ever-changing universe.

When the Blue Sky Turns Red

when the sky was blue
it lit up the day sky
by the sun's sky,
when it shone, the light
was radiant, but
now it is red
with power
and dignity
when will 
the sky turn
blue again

Premium Member Life When Turns Petals of Remembrance

You and me
And the tree called desire
It sprouted by choice
Untimely wiped off!

Believe me!
No one is sinner!

How can I name such a life?

Life when turns petals of 
Remembrance!

World Turns

the world still turns, though passion burns, if the veil is crossed today, we carry the total experience learned, as our spirit wafts away.... thank you Joan Grisetti..."I Lay Dying" Don

Premium Member Sequence-The Circle Turns

Helped
to dress,
eating less,
shadow of our
prime-
our
wisdom
left unsaid-
off early to
bed,
pushed
into
life's layby-
some no longer
try
and
slowly
fade,and die-
no-one wonders
why !

Premium Member Twists and Turns

Twists and Turns..
The story finds
Already This
Appearing as that..
Amazing..but
Me may re-enter
Jump on stage
Desperate to find
Unfindable This..
The saving grace:
Desperation too is
Already This...??

Bad Weather Turns Calm

J-une third early morn
E-ndorses a better clime; 
V-iolent wind Saturday
I-sn't howling in
T-ime.

A-llow the night to pass, 
L-et the morrow come; 
O-pen your eyes to new dawn, 
B-ad weather turns calm.
