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.

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...

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 ...

The cook and I had gone ashore, and we were  the only one who dared me, because I had not been...
