Premium Member My Heart, Felled as a Tree
Deprived of your love I become a will-o-the-wisp, a ghostlike entity, whose illumination has faded with the echoing of your final word, "Goodbye." Not a daunting wisp of the shimmering kind, nor one to haunt or harm. Feel no alarm from me for I am no longer whole, the woman I used to be. Without your hand to hold, your lips...

The plum tree and the boy
In the center of the city, There was a plum tree Whose flowers were in bloom; White and rose They attracted the attention Of whoever walked by; In the morning a girl, That was walking by the tree, Took her camera and began to make photos; Later on a mother with her child, Was passing by And her child was pointing at the tree; The mother took...

I Am The Giving Tree
I am like the giving tree, ready to tear myself apart, letting him seep into every fragment of me. I carry the weight of him— swirling in the depths of my stomach at the mere mention of his name. If to love is to truly know, I’d spend every waking moment memorizing each gesture, every reaction he might show, just to prove my devotion. I’d offer...

The Tree
The tree of death or life, A duality of existence, The truth is obvious to the transcended but remains the same to the unchanged. The tree of death or life, The darkness and sunshine of the meadow, The lifelessness and beauty of our journey, So much lies...

Cigars and Tree
Feeling as if you’ve been kicked in the nuts with a golf shoe is similar to being ghosted by someone with you had a connection. By someone that listened. I blame myself for these feelings and for having unwarranted expectations. I blame myself for this false feeling of rejection. In the room, smoke gathers, thick as...

A Roadside Flowering Tree
“The earth laughs in flowers.” - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson --------------------------------------- Spring has just taken a leap Blushing sun is on hot trail Teases trees with playful smile. Surprises avenue tree Flares up flamboyant clusters Impatient - so like new bride. Gulmohar is her sweet name Peacock like, scarlet petals Her Beauty lights up sun's rays. While the other nearby trees Stand in bare green downplaying Their potent...

Premium Member HUMAN FAMILY TREE
Trees form an alliance…you might say they’re in cahoots… with other trees and organisms that intertwine within their roots. Pine, fir, palm, cherry, maple…it matters not what we call them what differences on their outsides we may see… The thread connecting them means they are all one family… and that family is…tree. It’s amazing how it works…if a tree needs something...

The Tree
Some see your for your beauty But I only see the pain No one at all can see inside Life travels on just like a train So strong you are, so full of life But there's something they can't know Deep inside the roots, a ghost through each season darkness grows A face so unforgiving guilt builds just like a trap It sucks you in,...
