Premium Member The Monster Who Comforts Me
I look upon these silhouettes; of night trees Dark delineation is the monster who comforts me As my haunting sorrows swayed in the breeze I warned them of being wracked with disease On a calm night when they're still Words of rage make me think I have skill Shaking hands chop against their will And when my mind has had its...

HIS LAST WORDS
The world, my son is one big market people buying, people selling some winning, some just walking through. I was once a loud voice in it Trading dreams, chasing deals but today, I feel quiet like the shop is closing.

Premium Member One Day At A Time
You were always so good At hiding yourself in the dark I tried and I tried To throw you out Of the furthest recesses of my mind And somehow you are still there Embedded in the deepest crevices of my brain Where I couldn't see you Lurking there in the blackness For thirty years Waiting ... for one of those days When I'm down and...

Idyllic
Delight! nothing could be more idyllic than when writers receive commendation for work, non-synthetic, non- acryllic, pieces with original foundation. Stand and say without intimidation - “I composed this from my own heart and mind.” your own witness worth hearing, well-defined.

Soiled words, discarded thoughts Literary leaves of autumn Blowing aimlessly without direction Caught in the fervor of a wind gust Scorched by times fading flames Shrieking in life’s mindless madness Knowing that their moment, their season Has escaped the grasp of Now’s passing ...
