Premium Member Your Face in the Scudding Cloud
I search for your face in the scudding cloud. The fresh offshore sea breeze tucks at my hair, The timber of your voice, in tearful shroud. I search for your face in the scudding cloud, too painful to watch couples walking proud— the memory of you at heartstrings tear. I search for your face in the scudding cloud. The fresh offshore sea...

So we went down the big hall, to the underground caves We went miles into the caverns, under old graves And there was nemesis, not like a TV...

Cyrano de Bergerac
Cyrano de Bergerac entered a race not fleet of foot but hoping to place tho' quick off the mark the competition so tough kept him on his toes when the going got rough yet setting the pace he won by a nose... the schnozz on his face With apologies to Edmond Rostand (1868 – 1918) ...

The Face In The Mirror
Visage stark and eyes of steel He shares my thoughts and what I feel And seems to know more than I’ve known The face in the mirror sees through me. He knows my faults, my secret sins And bears no mercy without or within Judgement swift cuts to the bone The face in the mirror weighs me Dreams and goals, schemes and plans He...

Premium Member One day, the mirror didn't show me my face, but a universe hidden beneath my eyelids
One day, the mirror didn't show me my face, but a universe hidden beneath my eyelids, A version no one meets, a world of public smiles and hidden wounds, Held together by deep silences and storms of anger, a thousand unspoken words like lonely stars, The mirror didn't ask how I was, but painted my nights when I...
