Premium MemberFORGOTTEN KEY

In a drawer of quiet things, a lone brass key keeps dreaming of doors.
It remembers the weight of turning, the soft click of entering a life.
Now it hums in the dark—unlock me, it whispers—I still know the way.


Premium MemberWalmart Has Eyes On You

You made a rookie mistake, it is more than obvious 
you don’t watch true crime documentaries or you would surely know
never buy murder supplies at the Walmart super store

Premium MemberLived My Whole Life Trying To Fit In

I am done with the modern age's version of the rat race.
I'm done forcing myself to fit in just to feel so out of place.
I am choosing to live life at my own specific pace.

Premium MemberTimely Seasons

Born of Autumn, hair like wheat, honeymoon babe - right on time.
Mom and Dad underneath the limbo pole - winners-on-high.
In descending gondola, my birth had no notion of lovers.

Sparkle of snowflakes against window pane; my reflection.
A copper penny tossed in air; will it freeze, or will bus steal show?
The scent of snow; the kick of flakes; I’m racing my shadow.

Honeysuckle ascent and bees are buzzing; sometimes annoying.
The stingers you want - paired up; besides, I’m a wallflower.
“I remember you,” a confession at a reunion.

Becoming a dark-brunette; in the heat, the length shortened.
Summer fun seventy-seven; Sun In yields red highlights.
Sooner than later a sailor will find seasons of Aloha.

Premium MemberMeasure Of Righteousness

    
    I am not so-called religious , but sure to be righteous,
     Always trying to take right move at every step of my journey.
       Righteousness is real pivot of my life to honour .

    Whenever any hindrance embowers or blocks my path
   I analyse in rational way how to get rid of problem ,
   I venture always keeping keen eye pointing righteousness.

   I can neither compromise nor forgive obvious crime.
   My sense of righteousness always guides me to act ruthless.
   Noble kindness fails to deviate me from my strict decision.

    My confidence is always associated with righteousness.
    To act righteous, courage is the most important factor.
     My strict moral principle is the base of righteousness.


Premium MemberThe Wrong Life

He would leave home, seek adventure, and explore the wide world.
Would it be so hard to remember those who meant the most to him?
Not really, as they would be as close as a finger snap.

He would woo the most beautiful girl and make her his queen.
They would have a big family, and one day grow old together,
that is, until they had an acrimonious divorce.  

He would live for his dreams and would fight for his ideals.
So many would be deeply influenced by his groundbreaking work,
specially the policyholders of his employer.

His story would inspire a host of ardent admirers
Hey, what is going on around here?  Is there some kind of mix up?  
It seems to me that I have been born into the wrong life.

Premium MemberI Lived Every Time

You automatically came back from ten near deaths every time, 
So why would you want to go through it all so many times?
You cannot escape the life that you are destined to live.

Premium MemberShadow Of A Person

In the end my soul shall return to the world of shadow,
For all throughout my own life I've been nothing but hollow,
And for me death has always been the only thing that is hallow.

Premium MemberV

I see possibility in a life in which I am happy.
I endured four heartbreaking rejections for showing reflections.
I perhaps found the fifth man in this long karmic sequence.

Premium MemberJust Livin' Life

Living life indulging in the joys of just whatever.
Living life idly inhaling burnt sacred plant matter.
Living life cohabiting in no more than a sort of shelter.

Premium MemberLife Is All A Stage

Like a song we all like to improvise as we all go along.
Like a stageplay we like to have reasons to  pretend and play.
Like a semblance we like to be with whom bring us balance.

Premium MemberDharma And Karma

I reincarnated into this life to calmly observe.
I am also here to experience what I deserve.
I am still on this journey learning just whom and how I shall serve.

Premium MemberFake Smile

Get to be living in distraction and some denial,
As she will soon ascend to Heaven in a little while.
Living life behind this biggest lie of a falsely happy smile.

Premium MemberIn This Life And Beyond

I will live through every single moment of life with you.
I will always have this willingness to help you on through.
I will love you through every single moment beyond this life too.

Premium MemberAlways Taking L's

My life's always been full of so much love, lust, and longing,
As well as shallow lovemaking, loneliness, losses, lamenting.
Feelings old and new within me are always lingering.
