Strength Does Not Always Roar
Fragility is quite a strength just as the crucial bumblebees’ breath Perhaps not only titularly gentleness is stronger than severity . . . Channeling Emily Dickinson : To be a feather in a holocaust – hope, sewn in the soul, sings the song needed most A minor thought on regeneration : To regrow the leg the mantis lost – a marvel on...

Your kisses were like honey as I tasted them on the street late at night your embraces were like a silk scarf....

Toxic Beauty
ART! He painted my death, With such dedication I've never seen before. Every stroke of his brush, on that paper, marking out each curve, twist, and turn my body made As I writhed in pain. Premeditated murder, or a death masquerading as suicide, or perhaps just an unlucky soul. My hands on my throat as I choked to death, He didn't...

Ocean
Ocean waves call me. Beckoning me to stop and stay a while. Staying awhile to listen to the peaceful music of the waves breaking upon the sand. Watching waves persistently pulling back to start again with no hesitation. If only the waves spoke a foreign language only I could understand. I would stay...

not a democrat
Not a Democrat Is democracy good for individual freedom a year when spring sprang early he bought horse and cart and made a living  moving people's rubbish to the town's pit  He was not a man working from 9 to 5 in  a factory where underpaid workers slaved  putting macaroni in tomato sauce, into a tin he had many children, but was not...

Premium Member A Painting by Van Gogh
I happen to take Art classes in oils. My teacher directed me to Van Gogh's Flores: I am not sure what it's called. But I am very impressed with it's colors of yellow, maze and the swirls of a blue vase. It appears that the painting is all swirls. I can't imagine how it was...

Painted Grey
Every time I try to make things right, Something breaks or slips from sight. I hold on tight, but still it’s gone — Just like the end of a breakup song. Deadlines chase me through the night, Redemption’s path fades out of light. I try to lift the weight I bear, But it gets heavier in the midnight air. I hope one day...

Muse
His voice was near, his hands were far Porcelain and coated in paint I was revered, my skin unmarked By the artist disguised as the saint But the muse knows not, how one perceives She exists in and of the mind No more than a thought, no need to deceive She herself might as well be...

Friends
I need friend To spend these empty days of mine Where I talk to myself And try to make myself happy To have a coffee To drink a little bit To take a walk To give a hug The universe wants me cold As I live this solitary life. You have a friend really many – We all need/want them I/We want to fill your days...

Premium Member The Stalker's Still Life Stare
The rose won’t pose, won't stay its will, It knows it can’t be forced to stay still. It sneaks movements between brush strokes, Breaking free of the painter's staring yokes. The lemon makes faces with bitter pride, It hides its shyness with a snide slide. Each subject plays a veiled charade, As each freeze-frame is displayed. The painter grabs what time would spill, To...

Of What Is Love's Stake
Love walks away... Day-in day-out on what heart wants, Leading astray... What heart needs, hurting what lust flaunts Against heart's will; Tomorrow shall find out the best, Lust don't run still To sustain beast; a trying test That locks up joy, Of unrest gauge- swinging heart's eyes Like a playboy, Whose smartness can't hang up late sighs Wandering near love, Enough to beat tricks; lust employs. Quest seems a...
