IN ATTIC HALLS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In attic halls of memories past, I find solace in stories steadfast. For in the remnants of a life lived and told, lies the truth of who I am, young and old. ...

Growing up to fast and coming of age
Growing up to fast, Coming of age. Both about maturity but different One witnessed something they were not supposed to see, while the other saw when ready One forced to be a man, the other gradually becoming a man One having a parent who would mentally abuse, while the other has two amazing parents One having to work hard...

Premium Member Those nights had in the sun
The city held its hand out to you and you felt like you’d become. The flashing lights, drinking and dancing nights is where your adulthood had begun. The wayward walk and drunken fights where no logic had ever won. Pride or is it sorrow now fills your mind, to see what you’ve become. The years fly by and your...

After Rain, I'm Left with an August Day
After the Rain, I’m Left with an August Day My ears ring as I sit in the loft and the sun shines through haze. It rained last night and I know it will rain again. I’ve already checked through my emails embracing my ritual to start the day. The house cat rubs against my leg until I allow it onto my lap. I visited...

the failure
The Failure It is about vanity, a need to see one's name in print The shortest of glory, five seconds, ten? Switch off at that point of glory, and the fame can last until someone else demands to use the tablet  A book of poetry, published in a small town in India  61 pages, and the editor and owner of the...

Premium Member What is it
What drives us forward? The need to be? The need to care? The need to see? What makes us human? The ability to be kind? The ability to think? The ability to show compassion? The ability to cry? What is this life? The nature to grow? The nature to love? The nature to destroy? The nature to kill?...

Fading Horizon
A dream, like a fading horizon, Where the sky and earth collide One touches hope, The other, doubt. I stand between the two, Feet planted in a fractured world, Where trust is a shadow And faith is a whisper. My ceiling is low, A blanket of fog, Yet I’m told to reach For stars that feel too far. In the silence, I hear A voice, distant yet near, Reminding...

My heart locked into the past
I'm tired The past locked into my future Locked into my now I am so mad Feeling the grief How many years to go Blindly Tightly to what should have been Now im old with no where to go The past stole my future or did I give it all a way To a past that never was Remnants of the past In my face Hating...

Premium Member The Gravity of Time
I feel a sadness in my soul flowing like a stream across the fallen remnants of passing days that leads to a reservoir of lost sunsets lying on the edge of my heart's misty moors in the deep valley of my memory Where shadows float above the horizon dressed in yesterday's...

Premium Member Whispers Guide Me
Whispers of my soul, Guide me through this night, A hidden diamond shines whole, In this inner fight. Light dances on my dreams, Stars twinkle in my eyes, The spirit gleams and beams, As dawn begins to rise. Will this day contain All the magic of my prime Though the old body remains Can the brain reveal the rhyme ...

Baku and a Swedish cook
Baku and the Swedish cook It sounds impossible, but 72 years ago, I was a galley-boy on an old tank ship loading oil for Iceland, a country with watery beer  Baku, I remember the long avenue, empty of people and poorly lit. The cook and I had gone ashore, and we were  the only one who dared me, because I had not been...

Premium Member The Calico Box Crab
Once, an aged fisherman was heard to speak from a boat on the shore of Chesapeake Bay. His voice, like every bone and plank that did creak, (as the ocean waves came in to splash and spray) about a creature, singular and unique, "'twas eighty-seven years ago to the day. When I was just up to a grasshopper's knee I...

Albert Nelson's father bought a huge clock, the very day he was born, A happy fellow, with a winsome smile. Like the merry pink sun, at dawn. Being too tall for the shelf, it stood inside their foyer, for ninety years, Without the penchant to be slumbering. Tick, tock, tick-joys and tears! Albert loved to watch its pendulum swing,...
