Premium Member A New Circumstance
Maybe I don’t belong here, maybe I once did; maybe I do, maybe none of this is the truth; Maybe it’s a shot in the dark, maybe it’s as honest as the Sun; Maybe I can, maybe just one more chance; Maybe a new circumstance, maybe; Maybe I get tired of old words, maybe that’s to be expected; Maybe this poem’s trash maybe it’s a...

Happy Earth Day, PS... How the majestic spectacle of Nature is revealed At the end of a dull and gloomy day When the bullying, storm-foreboding clouds give way And allow the struggling, setting sun to gild, and flush, And glorify this tiny expanse of rocks and shrubbery With an awesome pomp and circumstance of color, And cast a mesmerizing spell that holds...

I bled a river of crimson red for many years, It's said with time one's broken heart will heal. My great love leaving me was one of my fears, I bled a river of crimson red for many years. We had a love, filled with much passion and zeal. He left, heart is still raw, I've shed a lot of...
