Premium Member The Door of Uncertainty
The Door of Uncertainty I stand at the door of uncertainty I have a difficult choice to make My sweaty palm grasps the handle My heart and the clock beat rapidly in sync Time is my enemy, she is relentless The ringing doorbell is a loud gong It echoes in my head urging me on Rivulets of salty water run down my face My...

Premium Member Will I Be Left
Will I be left here? My heart beats with fear, my nerves and sweat smear. Does he look at me, should I look to see? No, then hope might fade. I want plans I made to stay as dreams bade.

Memories First Platoon boards the Huey, sickly smell of sweat and death elbow to elbow we sit cramped in the narrow compartment hot, sticky air like a sauna grips us in its wet claws rotors spin, air rushes through the open doors but no relief is felt from the hot, breath of the dragon gnawing fear grips each man as...

Premium Member My Missing Piece
Searching outside of myself Far and wide Looking into the eyes and souls of others Seeking answers Looking for my missing part Always sensing an absence Awakening one day with tears in my eyes A complete realization I had found my missing piece Or rather My missing piece had found me Silent warm tears streamed down my cheeks An inner heat grew in my belly My...

Let Sweat Flood the Halls
Water builds in the ends of fingers and toes It’s always there first Rising, filling up, inching closer to the heart To the core of dreaded distant thoughts Like a water balloon Expanding, ready at a moments notice to pop. Pouring sickly sweat from each tiny hole that covers the body Gathering at your feet- A puddle A clear cut reflection A reason to drown. Sink...

Premium Member Sweat
Sweat bubbles on my skin thinking of you; My breathing quickens, you’re controlling my pulse; If you just scratch me and bite, leave your filthiest mark on me? I’ll follow you and do what you ask; There is not a thing I would rather do....

Premium Member Dissertation Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Cheers
In the world of code and creed, Heart and mind, a dualistic seed. Nights of work, days of strain, Drafts, redone, again, and again. Pixels blend with ancient thought, Ideas clash, are born, are fought. Screens aglow, a timeless quest, Soul meets tech, in earnest zest. Critics’ eyes, like hawks, they...
