Premium Member Eye of Manic Storm
Thrust in the center of the storm All I could see was You My deepest fears had been born My sanity like strings unloosed Nerves unglued by life events Perhaps this broke my mind Strapped to a bed I no longer lament Refused food or drink of any kind The drugs they tried made me hide Inside my paranoia so I didn’t speak Except...

The Ward Nurse Has A Wooden Leg
scuffs in the pearl white floor when she leaves the room, for empty hospital hallway memories, haze of sterile gloom like snails, the chronic men each slowly wear away, their minds left to trail behind them, their faces falling into decay the grey walls with snake green stripes always constricting them, the dim fluorescent flicker of the fate to...

It takes compassion and a steady hand, To be a...

Premium Member TWO SHIPS
On many a morning walk I’ve seen this lady up ahead…walking in the streetlight’s glow but she’s always been too far away…for me to say hello. Besides walking in the dark the last thing I want to do is give someone a fright! So…for the longest time we’ve passed each other…like two ships in the night. But the other...

Premium Member Miss Nightingale - Potd
In the flickering light of the lamp, Despite the chilly night, air so damp, She surveyed books so avidly read, Studied the guidelines now in her head. Time came: she departed for the war, Sure she'd care for all those wounded sore. Many followed as she left her stamp, At night she'd be the lady with the lamp....
