Premium MemberI Dwell In Halo Clouds


I choose to dwell in frothy clouds…
with a mindset unfixed
Random instincts   spaced out 
In the cumulus mix
An expansive effusion
Far out and beyond my temporal shackles
Free are my thoughts without prompt
Closed minds shallow and 
desolate debacles
dissipate in this airy romp

On wispy clouds I dwell in…
high above I’ve risen
Here no need to reason
nor the blends

A bottomless pit can’t be filled

As if cast into the world, a flood it creates,
Yet still, the people fail to see their fates.
Though wealth may shine bright, filling every space,
Their hearts grow weary, losing hope's embrace.

The world has blinded them, lost in its maze,
They take the green paper as their praise.
While the needy struggle, their hearts tight as stone,
Digging for

The definition of love

Love is said to be so many things a man can define, an unexplainable, heart-warming and deep sensation filled with the tentacles of nostalgia, a feeling so selfish to react to and unselfish to share with one's soulmate, Anthony and Cleopatra would be smiling from their graves at the sight of this beautiful piece of

Pit Bull

Tell me, dog with the big teeth,
What do you see past that muzzle of yours?
What do you hear through the whispers of those that go by?
You crave to feel human touch— 
Even the brush of fingertips against your ruined body
When someone walks past.
You long to be held like all the little dogs are:
Given fuss on

Premium MemberAN EMPTY FIRE PIT


In Florida oak leaves fall in March and as I was cleaning up our backyard
I paused a moment to sit…
to take a break and relax around our old and empty fire pit.

As I sat catching my breath…suddenly in my mind memories started to soar
and that fire pit, empty only a moment ago….was not empty any

Pit Valleys

In parts of Derbyshire and Yorkshire
there are still pit-valleys,
where industry and nature collide,
marry, and have their natural born children.

The earth once gouged, raped and laid desolate,
is landscaped by those who once despoiled.

Time plays its part, plants its seeds,
it up-roots high piled slagheaps,
softens broken mountains of concrete.

I have walked these valleys,
in some I had to stumble

The Snake Pit, The Bee Hive, and The Lions' Den

Watch your step, so you don't end up here
Where people like you simply disappear
To be devoured like prey, they're on the hunt
Looking for their next victim for them to stunt

Beware of the snake pit, the ones who take
The ones who would drown you in a lake
Of their own selfish needs and desires
With a tongue forked

Premium MemberShe Shu and Her Dragon Pit

She is a shy unassuming quiet girl, She Shu
We have known her for a year or two
A dragon named Pit adopted her one day
She keeps him by the pond, a little away

We have tried to ask about Pit of course
She pretends she cannot speak, claims she is hoarse.
I think she wants to keep his friendship

The Pit and the Pendulum

I think I found the prescription for the sickness behind my obvious problems 
Or I found the key that fits in the lock of the door of ignoring them
I’m not sure which one it is 
But you’ve won, I’m tempted 
But am I exempted from my duties of holding down the fort when you’re dejected?
You’re

Poll Pit

The unveiling confusion, infirmity, 
               the stars align with impunity. 
                     To mock with signs

The Pit

A deep deceptive pit 
One so inescapable and filled with turmoil 
In this pit a man bides 
Not by choice, but for no reason 
Not for treason 
But for nothing at all 
Why is it that he deserves a life of torture and hell
When a person worse has everything at the ring of a bell

Premium MemberPit-Pat Pounding

The blue skies are clear again, 
No wind tears apart, 
yet the sound of pounding rain
beats against my heart, 

The clear sky will darkle soon, 
Thunder will go boom, 
Prepare to hear rain's sweet tune, 
And watch lightning zoom, 

Listen to that faint drumming, 
That relentless din, 
Pit-pat, the rains are coming, 
I feel it
