Bad Breath
Shines behind your vile eyes, Your silver lips and tongue, Halitosis, you can't hide, The poison dribble dripping from, Twice I won't be blamed, The shame is mine for falling once, The lies begin to smell the same, Perfume of rose and skunk....

You lie innately beside bucolic roads On mountain slopes and rolling fields Until motionless winds stir, His breath Lifting you to glorious heights Swirling, drifting, pausing here and there Carried to the verges of the Earth Where only He knows the end from the beginning To softly lie down, again Awaiting the breath of the Almighty To raise you up in new birth ...

Premium Member With Every Breath
Pattie! With every breath I am a straight line from point A to B, An unwavering flame with dreams to be free. Like the sun’s ascent, relentless and bold, Or the sunset's glow, quiet but whole. Let me be me, let me breathe, let me rise. Following my dreams beneath shifting skies. Time’s fleeting touch whispers goodbye, Yet I...

Devil's Breath
Tempests of inclemency Cyclones filled with pain Tornadoes come and go at will With nothing to remain Caught inside their whirlwind Whose spin to wreak and hurl A demon vortex roaming wild Destruction — to unfurl (The New Room: April, 2025) ...

Breath of a Forgotten Night
I don’t particularly remember it, Yet when midnight whispers through the air, —My heart aches. A sudden hurt, a lonely ache, As if the past is breathing near, A moment lost, yet somehow known, When the air smelled just like this, And I was breaking too. It feels like my heart is holding on, Though my mind can’t trace the past. Some feelings don’t need...

Tired, yet yours
I'm so TIRED of missing you— Too tired of thinking about you; I keep myself busy throughout the day— Yet —You never fade away. Like blood —You flow within my VEINS, With every breath; Your love remains. You're not a Nightmare —I wish to forget, But a beautiful dream I want to relive; A love so deep my heart can ONLY give. ...

The falling sun drapes it's last breath upon the stoney ground as twilight throws a purple quilt upon an apple orchard in one evenescent breath Looking westward the first star appears In a blue red glow as I recite a poem under the boughs of a weeping willow A Distant dream from a day long ago has...

Premium Member The Air I Breath
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. In the quiet of the morning, while all the world is sleeping the dew drenched flowers, weeping silence floods the heart with blessings of serenity so...

Between Two Worlds
I stand barefoot on the cold moss, the forest breathing around me, each leaf a whisper, each tree a silent witness to my thoughts. The earth beneath me is alive, its pulse steady, unhurried, a rhythm so pure it fills the spaces the city forgot to take care of. But then, a hum cuts through the stillness— a distant echo, the relentless thrum of engines and...

Premium Member Breath of Light
His peace rises, against the heart Forever healing, growing warm His breath is faith offering a fresh start While the edges of doubt try to dissuade His wonder falls quietly on the soul Giving such peace – such gentle hope He is the amazing that makes hearts whole Promising love that will forever console His light rests against the spirit of grace Erasing the...

My Breath
With a dying breath I realize I’m the one holding the blade The one to my heart and veins I really thought it was you Until I opened my eyes You, standing there gasping “My Love, what have you done” With a dying breath I realized I was in your arms, tranquil to the world outside . . . No I wouldn’t...
