The Stray
I was born in the sunshine of your house. I remember the soft fold of your smile, As you read me bedtime stories, Sprouting in my memory, The fall of your heavy dark hair, Like velvet, As you bent to kiss me good night. And, just as clearly, I remember the darkness, emptiness, that fell Over us; The empty space that was you. Broken fences...

Premium Member Stray Thoughts
The clairvoyant could be a schizophrenic or is it the other way around. Mind cymbals of the mime must be unbearably loud flowers are for glade and not the lapel of blue clowns. Is it better for a stray to be forever chained down or go running off with a pack of the unfound. After death are we whisked off...

Stray
In the city of the living, A place where all are breathing Few miles away from the well-known barber shop Down the road with an inclined slope He laid down there underneath the bridge Helpless, gasping for new air The virus had long taken life from him Only spared him his body and soul. Dirt spread all over his body, he was a...

Stray
Little by little I'm leaving you behind over the clouds there is no sky there is a big fog in your eyes I do not see you anymore under the light. We were all children once upon a time so many paths we needed to find rocks in water W,X,Y Nobody knew anything upside down life... There are many stories they invented for us and so many lies they told us up in heaven there is...

Premium Member Hide yourself in the folds of dreams, amidst the stray bosoms of darkness
Hide yourself in the folds of dreams, amidst the stray bosoms of darkness, Snow trickles down, over fields in their metaphorical slumber, An endless prolongation of silence, a voiceless query, Where do you linger, when your thought is but a shadow over the restless past? The night interlaces its hands with the cool thread of silver, letting its veil...

One by one they'll slowly arrive, like drunken moths fanning humid nights. Crash landing into the brain pan of mankind. Howling like a stray dog on fire. They suckle away the nectar from life. Panning flecks of silver from hopeful eyes. Only sated when they've bled the well dry. Howling like a stray dog on fire. Like vampires, they feed off periwinkle...

If I could write a poem about you, what would the subject be? And would the form be sonnet, or something far more free? You are so difficult to define, the fullness of your broad world compared to feral mine – like trying to compact eternity. For if I wrote, such a poem, exposing my deep feelings, the underbelly of my...

In Toronto roamed a stray Pekinese Who learned how to talk from a couple of geese Now at home in the Bronx he never barks, just honks as his owner begs for a little peace 2/27/23...

I’ve been living my life with high walls and an empty heart, not letting anyone else get in and having some part. I grew up mad and cold, the world has shaped me to be bold. In the cold night with a broken soul, I met you. You set my heart into a new shade of hue. For the first time,...
