Premium Member In the crucible of time, where the iron of human will is melted
In the crucible of time, where the iron of human will is melted, Lords of armies forge their crowns from flames that build mirages. They invoke the spirit of the earth, but their thoughts leap over windmills, In the sorcery of pride, chanting incantations that cast smoke in their eyes. With siren's tongue, demagogues lull their people into a...

Premium Member Crucible of Legends II
Possibilities, like children, navigate the classable realms, settling upon the measurable. Amorous piglets, their peachy snouts delve, rooting through the trash heap of desire. "In a time beyond now," wheatenly speaks the tale-spinner, plucking a clover, pale and crowned with stardust, among the untamed grains sown in the depth of breath. She informs a story of the jewel hung in ghastly night, makes...

Children of possibilities navigate the classable realms, settling upon the measurable. Amorous piglets, their peachy snouts delve, rooting through the trash heap of desire. "In a time beyond now," wheatenly speaks the tale-spinner, plucking a clover, pale and crowned with stardust, among the untamed grains sown in the depth of breath. I crave an eye bathed in Bengal's blaze, eternity riding a celestial...

Crucible
Crucible In the vast expanse of life's grand tapestry, Where dreams are born and destinies take shape, There lie the trials that test our souls with glee, And shape us into beings of courage and faith. Oh, how we yearn for happiness' sweet embrace, A shimmering mirage, forever in our sight, Yet on this path, we encounter hardship's face, The labyrinth of existence,...

Crucible Peer into an unpredictable universe Of ambivalent depths A calyx cul-de-sac tipped up Into a crucible of the unexplainable Where curiosity strides into pure moments of mystique Fields of glory in bluebells Rusted milestones Hail ravaged wheat. Echoes of the prophetic tongue Swirl in chanted brews and prayers Mists, parted by potions, Bleed new horizons rising...

The Poet's Crucible
"Poetry is a life-cherishing force. For poems are not words, after all, but fires for the cold, ropes let down to the lost, something as necessary as bread in the pockets of the hungry." — Mary Oliver Inside the conscious mind of each poet dwells stupendous and sundry thoughts. They can escape as daydreams or nightmares but sometimes,...

Premium Member Crucible Moment
This world’s sustained drama seductively alluring, leaving us choking on bits of broken dreams, shattered memories, ludicrous lies … Time to awaken from sleep! Strip away oxgoads that constrain us, that restrain us, that bind us to past errors preventing success Allow us to roam across fields, vast and varied, expansive fields of endeavor that speak to humanity’s greatest needs— Hearts can beat stronger Lungs can breath freely Minds can then grasp … The truth!...

Crucible
A flood light from the ground up means a stud might turn his sound up, put his gloves on for the pound-up, and you’re too old and fat to low crawl, so why the hell did you make that phone call? Who knows? Maybe if placed on death-ground, you’ll fight valiantly. Maybe it’s worth simply dying if...

Premium Member The Crucible of Fire
The Crucible Of Fire We call it ash, although more like desiccated granular bone coral. Whether ash or coral, I will be. I am afraid, as I see through unseeing eyes, as I feel, even though I cannot feel, the flickering flames that feed through the doors ahead waiting for what was me. Young once. Not special but a beginning, a promise. No hill too...

Crucible
As scorching as the spring’s mid-day sun Muddled with pain from the burn Fiercely caressing to the bone Obviously heating to hurt In silence he mourns For it hurts with sore But diligence he brings to fore Slowly begetting patience at dawn And his reward ultimately borne Yet out of fear Hands dare not come near As he feast there Hoping to overcome his flare But...

Mere Combat In the Crucible
In front of the vestibule the dragon slumbers Atop a skeletal heap of unfathomable numbers Like the despair that guards my fatigued core Surrounded by the ruin of all that I implore Beside the parlor bearing my unadorned diadem Broods a scorned and jealous leviathan As the scarab pushes the sun across the sky My worry and anxiety continue to ramify The...

Premium Member In Crucible of Love
IN THE CRUCIBLE OF LOVE Love unlike hate is eternal; and cannot be transformed. Love is and can only be its self; but hate has many manifestations; demanding and expressing evil in various deceptive ways— Seeking to destroy all that is good. Ah, but the goodness of love is of God and is impervious to the will and destructiveness of hate. Love surpasses all things; and in due season, hate and injustice will...

The Blacksmith's Crucible
Dark I stand, cobalt cold and chipped ice to the touch. Like a jetty on a winter's day, mooring empty, friendless boats jostled by vexed waves; bullying the weak. But there was a time. I stood like Vesuvius, naked to your cause. And hungered for that momentary thrust of raw steel, releasing spumante detonations that reached...

The Crucible
Evil is among them, Or so it truly seems. Lies afflicting witches, Is what holds the town of Salem at bay. Abigail's mistake quickly turns into a terrible mess, that leads to eternal damnation. They tell the town that witches are among them, to gain privileges that others cannot. John and his wife have kept a cold house, because of John's choice to...
