Premium Member The eye of the storm
Huge fluffy clouds began to form over 
Sanibel Island as the salted gulf splashed 
against the rocks around the lighthouse 
coastal waters rose up as a calming coolness 
carried this gentle warm breeze over to...

Flawless Verses
Flawless flamboyant meaningful words in written verse’s,
Never heard by nervous useless unproductive pawns within man made curse’s,
Drawn into ignorance, clueless and purposeless,
Powerless and can’t see this, sitting on the fence torn and withdrawn,
An existence lacking...

Lingering Embers of an Abandoned Campsite
I'm drawing the sun on an empty ceiling 
But I still bring the clouds in my own way 
You wanted a goddamn college essay 
But there was nothing else to say 
She's the tortured soul...

Unspoken Thoughts
Am I a fool?
I'd run the risk of losing you, just to get some sort of unspoken point across.
However,
fool or not,
you haven't been fair, 
and I deserve better.
I have been the best I can be...

cadavers of ripped children litter on the streets,

Totally Devastated: People are desperate, 
the streets are infested with terrible hunger,

Premium Member After the Storm

“God’s grace has a drenching about it. A wildness about it. A white-water, riptide, turn-you-upside-downness about it. Grace comes after you. It rewires you. From insecure to God secure. From regret-riddled to better-because-of-it. From afraid-to-die...

The House That Jack Built (Part 1)

Fatigued from years of gleaning storms of snow, sleet, and rain,
 I was yet an innocent and therefore unashamed.
 Her smothered walls creaked and her shingled roof leaked,

She Made of Me a Sea
I am the real sea
A tumultuous sea
One wave hits another
And that’s me

Waves sliding, edge
Of all the earth
Edge of my childhood
Look upon my birth

Whirlpools spinning bide
In my heart and my mind
Icebergs are
My gentlest thoughts
Whitecaps are
The spraying...

Stranger
My heart egos and my life drained from me
Simple life I live, I act as I know all
But I know not, no, not even a little
I earnestly seek for recognitions
But my life and my heart...

My Stranger Part 1
"My Stranger"

There's a man that walks in the ends of my dreams;
He never comes into full view.

Keep this a secret, my dearest friend, 
For I will tell no one but you.

He's dark, yet calm, 
and...

A gentleman's guide to winning her heart
When we say we want a man who's strong and true,
We mean one who'll listen, and see us through.
Not just a macho exterior, but a heart that's kind,
A love that's genuine and a soul that's...

No voice is whispered in the void
Explosions inside the nest of stars
Ignite into the operas of the galaxies 
Noiseless vacancies full of mysteries
Evolve, remain as vacuous as they are

Space, bridled by the fire balls of...

The man of my heart
The man I long to dream about

He's my divine connection
Ask me about him

The autumn breeze goes through the lushful green yet hint of yellowing trees, it's so blissful, yet so fearful.
Laying in the warm green grass, as the breeze flies through my hands.
The warm sun is almost...

Step Into Me
Step inside my nightmare
Greet the horror that lurks within
Come look in the eye of loathing
Observe the war I can never win
I must suffocate a sickness
Overpower and obliterate an ill
I have to pound it into nothingness

Walk With Me To the Shoreline
The calm before the storm
Bids us to ignore the brewing tempest
Still the nimbus are towering beyond the horizon
As inexorably the squall line approaches our respite

Walk with me to the shoreline
For I fear not the fury

Memory To Defend
Carefully placed
Thought before action
Action before regret
Regret before memory
Memory all that remains

Of pain etched on face
As strokes were made
Forehead creased
And wispy breaths
Through Grimaced 
Grinding teeth

Knuckles white
Clutching tight
Muscles all tensed
As reflection
In blue eyes 
turn to Crimson 
To...

Though many years have passed I’m yours forever
I can’t stop thinking `bout the fun we’ve had
Our life together is still super rad

It’s just a hurricane of love

Epidemic
The rush of emotion, 
The thud of adrenaline, 
Amidst the commotion, 
Scouting for medicine, 

Those who speak, keep others in line, 
Patience they say and all will be fine,  

Those who seek, know things...
