Is God is watching?
God is watching you. He is watching me Whether you are a believer or godless He is ringing the dinner bell, come home Heaven's table is crowded with the dead Stay away a little longer to make room Don’t do anything to shorten your life Don’t be in the wrong place at the wrong time He doesn't seem to care if you...

After Watching Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl
Seal the mountains, the peaks, the city— The little emperor rides waves like in Shanghai Bund. In the end, the man who loved beauty became a rifle. Where is the man-made bathing pool atop that mountain? The princely courage, allies in accord, Carried martial genes, shamanic rhythms, Carried cells of herbs and discipline, anti-entropy. Like Zhang Xianzhong sinking treasure into the Min...

Watching the jagged line
Here I sit gun against my head Praying that I will soon be dead A life with many ups and downs True love I thought would never be found That's exactly what she brought to me The endless love is what it would be Now I can only watch the jagged line As her health will slowly decline We once ran wild and...

Premium Member watching Mallie and her Mother Bowl
She was a force to be admired and feared at the bowling alley We stood back and watched, shocked by the ways of Mallie. She stood up straight and tall as she walked to the line Her strikes were amazing, her repeated spares were fine Who taught her to bowl? We asked each other Was it her grandpa, her father?...

Watching The Storm Roll In
I sit here on this wide, stone porch, the farms stretch for many miles, even on sunny days you can sit here and drift for a while… but this is not a day like that, the far horizon tells the tale, a billowing of distant gray, the storm is coming, without fail. The first slow pickup of wind comes, scribes rippled patterns in the...

Premium Member The watched are watching you
The watched pot never boils. The watched clock slows. The stalked knows, to watch the suddenly still ones, that lie moored with anchor bestowed, just out of reach, wanting, staring, blinking, in bated breath, to sneak a furtive peak, deceptive. The watcher's silence and stillness disclose the watcher's deception in plain sight. The little birdie you hope will not notice you when you freeze to...

Premium Member Entranced
She was waiting in the plaza a breath of fresh air graceful as could be I sat there in the distance couldn’t take my eyes off her imagining that she might be waiting for a guy like me She slowly sipped her coffee cup I watched her lips their gentle touch And in my head I juggled dozens of scenarios where I would sweep her off her feet As time...

He is Watching
Lay down all your fears, He is watching. When you wipe your tears, He is watching. Through all difficulties, He is watching. When life feels cynical, He is watching. When you are shattered, He is watching. When dreaded in life, He is watching. You are the pillar, Even if all else falter. ...

Premium Member watching the blank page
The blank page laughs and begins to dance She bends over and shakes her booty at me Put your petootsie away, I say, but I am smiling She wants words – adjectives, prepositions, verbs Especially verbs! She says, shaking, laughing, dancing She loves the ing-words the best, she is good at them I watch her sparkling, dazzling personality do a two-step Don’t...

Premium Member watching a blown leaf
A soft breeze blows a leaf It scuttles and scurries across the porch Brown and shriveled, looks a bit like an oak leaf Dead, yet still able to move in the wind I can hear another hearty gale from the west I wait for the leaf’s next performance As she slides across the porch my puppy chases her...

Who's watching over me?
As the sun set, I wander around to find a place to sleep for the night, clear dark skies allow me to see the different lights that follows me It look as though they are the astrology constellations in the sky, but I only can make out Cancer (Y). I don't believe in stars. Hoping this...

Lola's fingers tremble 'round her beads, Her lips move, soundless prayers; While outside, weeds Push through cracked leads— Life finds a way, who cares? I can't grasp their dread of death, This urge...
