I don't take one side or two In disputes about who’s right And who’s wrong – it could be you Or it could be me tonight But the next day it may turn The other way round, the pendulum Swings and all I had to learn Will be lost in setting sun Now the nightmares get too real Heroes drop their marble masks...

At The Other Side Of Every Rainbow Is A Mine Field Of Unanswerable Rhetoric
Humanity is sick. Humanity is fragile. We come into the world being taught the opposite of these fundamental truths. We are taught that everyone is equal, that everyone deserves a chance. But the world teaches us differently. It doesn’t care who you are— only what you’re worth, only what you can give before you are broken. But the truth is sharper— there are no guarantees, only chances taken and chances lost. What good were our...

The sun provides me light from without My faith provides it from within On days when no light shines on my skin What’s within dispels any doubt...

Premium Member Sunny-Side Up
The Summer sun shimmered upon the lake. Sunny-side up, the sky, the brightest soak. Its reflection - a breathing space intake. Stay on the path for its easy, light yolk. The darker side, with two-sail boat, deep sighs. In awe of ebb and flow, in Spirit’s glide. In the shadow of God, in morning rise, before your chores call you - a...

**The Country Kind of Love** In the beginning, there was a love that blossomed in the heart of the countryside. We would lie in an old hammock, sheltered by the sycamore trees, feeling the cool breeze brush against our skin. Those moments were a glimpse of the joys of country living: a large pitcher...

Side-By-Side
Shagged in the back of a shotgun shack at night by moonlight peeping past curtains of burlap sack such a sore sight surrounded by fields of green willing as she'd been tho' torn she surely wasn't about to be seen with a child out of wedlock born so with a bun in the oven she had her Dad invite he who did the dirty deed and plant...

Ghosts of Havana: A Letter from the Other Side
I speak now, not with breath, But through the bones of history, Through palms that never bore fruit Because your embargo starved the soil. You feared not our weapons— We had none to match your bombs. You feared our ideas, Because they burned too brightly in the dark. Sixty-two winters and summers, My people have walked in chains— Not of iron, But of isolation, hunger, and...

The Other Side of the Pillow
In the dark of night, where dreams bear bloom, and silence reigns in my shadowed room, my pillow waits, serene, composed, awaiting my sleepy head to doze. Beneath my head it yields its form, to cradle my crown from day’s storm, and offer a sweet night’s repose, yet pillow’s thoughts, who really knows? She seems so sweet, pretends to care, yet every night disturbs...

The road is long, unexpected happenings I found the perfect place to live, not knowing the crisis I would endure The waves rolled in, The world spun around me As I literally fought for my life While I recover, I have many thoughts I don't focus on the disruption to my new peaceful place I am grateful for the timing, the lighter side of...

At The Side
Dark days have come and gone and I am still lingering on the lawn, long painful nights have robbed me of my sleep and sometimes it makes my spirit weep. I have already ran a thousand mile and the shadows moving in the sky understands my innate cry but the moment quickly fades away and...

10-6-2025 Side: B
Sneezing again, Somewhat lost control over me. Again. And now the seasons changed, Summer’s walking out on me. Again. The nicotine chain, Forcing down another twenty. Again. Wheezing refrain, I feel the rain pouring down on me. Yet again. Reminisce again of the roof above, Something that once held over me. But the sky now drops tears, Joyless tears, Again. Love washed over me. Again. Pointlessly...

I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s enough, I just need someone to lift me out of the mud. I just want to be loved, Even for five minutes, Passed over, I’m fine with being lost in the flood. I just want to be loved, For however long it lasts, It’s...
