THE WAKE OF MANY LIVES
Take a look at what we see. Out of mind, past the dreams. A cataclysmic path to roads. That carries secrets no one knows. Like skin we shed all we dread. Replaying lives once we’re dead. Watching the air as we breathe. Following madness into the sea. Silence tells us don’t turn around. Lest we see what’s heard in sound. All connected, forced to divide. Eternally...

Did I Wake?
Eventually got my final sleep tapping my soul miles deep. Drift into the dream unknown, where the mysteries of the past are sown. Can't withstand the view I saw, grasping my chest as regret claws. My head thrashed wildly to and fro, the storm of dread began to grow. Mustered the courage, I rolled my fear like a worn-out sleeve, The shadows whispered, begged...

In the Wake of Light
At break of dawn, the world seems still, Yet stirs beneath the hush and chill. The moon, though fading, holds her place, As sunlight paints the sky with grace. Palm trees stand with stately pride, Their fronds in morning breezes glide. Along the shore, bright laughter plays, As children frolic in ocean sprays. Soft breaking waves caress the shore, Our footprints fade, seen no...

Premium Member One morning, you wake up and feel that it's gone
One morning, you wake up and feel that it's gone, A friend, a love, a dream you swore you would always keep. At first, you reach out to grab it, believing that maybe, if you hold on tight enough, It will come back, but it doesn't. You struggle with the absence, begging it to stay, But life makes no bargains...

Premium Member Which Me Will wake
The hypnotic line between the wish and dream is drawn at some eerie mystic point where midnight meets the dawn while sleep pervades, death can be an outcome, so can birth and there is no rim betwixt the heaven and the earth. My sins and probities at this sanguine moment play, which then makes me ask which me will occupy...

Premium Member WAKE UP
How can we conceal the idea of being a powerful race When the identity of our ancestors is right in our face We need to look in the mirror and see who we are The reflection that stares back shouldn't leave you scared It should open your consciousness and energize your mind To a point of gravitation with endless time To...

This must be a bad dream I can’t be woken up from The worst of dreams I’ve seen And it goes on and on Please wake me back to real Don’t tell me you are gone Your kiss can stop this reel Rotating way too long My darling love, please tell me I’ve been asleep for years I missed a lot of sun to...

Nested in the cat’s cradle Paraded in a child’s fable I have no voice, don’t let me die No longer shall I live a lie I have no soul nor thoughts to save Unbeknownst to me is this life beyond the grave? A designer dainty as she silky essence she creeps upon so free and...

Premium Member I wake up with you in my thoughts, but you are just a memory weaving its spell
I wake up with you in my thoughts, but you are just a memory weaving its spell, why do you still seem so real, like a shadow that refuses to fade at dawn? The sun kisses the sky a pure blue, spring birds sing their trills, and the Palash flowers open their petals, like a living fire in...

Premium Member THE WAKE WITHOUT VIGIL
Time longer than rope Chokes hearts dangling In the reality of struggle:- Grieving mothers and widows Veil their grief in sagging bosoms As they wail in excruciating silence:- Fragments of men, void of hope, View and count communal graves Swelling with dirt burying the dead:- (Buried are “The Wretched Of The Earth”) In the neap tides of sorrows, Mourners wade the airy blood Of the children of...

Premium Member I wake to sleep, and my awakening is a dream dancing on the edge of dawn
I wake to sleep, and my awakening is a dream dancing on the edge of dawn, I feel destiny like a rainbow stretched across the sky of my unknown fears, I learn by walking the hidden path, where my steps draw unseen maps. We think through feeling, and knowledge is a river flowing through the labyrinths of the...

Just because you go to church, doesn't assure you a place in heaven. It's how we live our lives that counts, rather than praying to be forgiven....
