Pawn Shop
It sat with double doors propped open
inviting the poor, the sad, the broken
Its dusty shelves stuffed and sated
with objects – some fresh, others dated
I carried my dreams with heavy arms
formerly dazzling magical charms
Now in tattered cardboard boxes
a life in unresolved paradoxes
Prized possessions, cherished memories
adored as luxurious shiny accessories
Their worth besmirched and unfamiliar
traded for coins of...

the silver teaspoonstwo silver spoons,
two completely different people
tied together by children, marriage,
divorce
they shared a home
two decades of life
and then nothing
just children; bound by blood,
broken by each other
they’re in the same room, fingers brushing as they pass each other banners to stick on the walls
i was the first born

Moon Memento - Silver Dust Tales
Written: April 14, 2025, for contest Sponsored by: Suzette Richards
***********************************
In shimmering twilight, a memento on the moon lies quiet,
a story etched in silver dust, evokes the wanderer of the past.
Moon serenity is countless, and heart beats bear sureness.
Astral footsteps foster starlight, tracks of kismet smite.
Human creation will grow, even as infernal...

The Sole Sky Surfer"Let the moon teach you the art of being beautiful and lonely at the same
time.” ~Anand Thakur
O, the night traveler
you are the beacon for
the distressed who are
dwelling in darkness.
As the knight of the night,
you ride upon your white steed
wearing a silver armor
for those hopeless lovelorn.
You are the afterglow of the sun
when it retires for...

Beauty’s BeastHanging hope on garden roses
Licking love from silver spoons
On the run in tundras frozen
Throwing howls at the moon
No true way to leave the castle
Though you came here on your own
Sometimes you are a prisoner
Sometimes you’re on the throne
Though his rugged mange offends you
His venom’s nothing new
Still he keeps...

After Fresh Silver RaindropsColors now shimmer in golden, backlit mist
where blue hydrangeas and red roses coexist
Purples and oranges adore a fresh morning.
Flighty trouble has, at last, gone away, riled
Since the mellow hour, my sunshine smiled
The green and pink birds are finally soaring!
Naturally, nature must love beauty so much
To shower flowers with silver, gold and such
Does pearly dew, gladden...

When you are not fed love on a silver spoon you learn to lick it off knivesA silver spoon or a knife
They are both made out of metal
One showed strife
The other one disguise as a skettle
The edges are sharp, the wounds are real
But they don’t hurt as much as feeling unlovable
“I’ll do anything for you “ is all i want to hear
It got me doing the unthinkable
I would...

Hitler's Silver AcademicsWhen the trust busts
in to your village
Driving the lunatics
in shackles
Times must be goin'
out of print
Old Hearst's Castle
isn't any good for
climbing
Seeing the waves of
rocket fuel
reminds the Church epiphany
that 8th grade is over
So the western fleet
sends out a graduate team
And recruits for the labor wards
Used to come by the name
of Montgomery
Seas are Charted for a Reason My...

Under the night sky, stars weave a mantle with shimmering silver threadsUnder the night sky, stars weave a mantle with shimmering silver threads,
Thoughts carry me into the enchanted forest, where trees whisper stories,
Shadows dance to the rhythm of the wind, singing a melody forgotten by time,
A symphony of silence, each note a dream shattered by the light of dawn.
Rain falls like a silk veil over the...

Dwell In The Silver-Lined Clouds
In the seamless sky of my fervent yearning,
I let the enraptured songbird of my heart soar high,
glide in the spring-rippled amorous breeze
that carried your jasmine fragrance to me.
The dawn splashed the sumburst spectrum of delight,
blossomed the budding euphoric dreams
in the dormant domain of depthless desire.
I didn’t see the concealed clouds of betrayal
slither...

SilverA rush of silver
Trails down my skin
Cold, yet harmful
My mind is now at ease
My peach-colored skin
Is covered in red paint
Hateful words cloud my mind
Swarms of regret surround my thoughts
Unable to clear
Any longer
I hate how the blame
Comes round back to my mind
I hate the inevitable feeling
To see the red paint
On my peach – colored...

Silver ThreadsThe wind billows the trees with god-forsaken draft,
And rinses the limbs with splashes of rain.
Zephyr's raging bluster brings forth storm's chaotic craft,
Blowing silver threads to new starts again.
Sailing without order, the threads land where they may----
On fences, on plants, on patio chairs.
The small spiders, thus carried, will emerge in a day,
And crawl past your...

I was the moon when I met Zizam, a silver star hidden in the nightI was the moon when I met Zizam, a silver star hidden in the night,
And in her eyes, I became a dream, for if she called me her moon, I would be, unbeaten.
Hidden from the earth, I wore my scars, under the veil of night, timidly I stood,
But she, my Sun, shone with rays, painting...

When the moon stretches across the sky like a silver veil covering the deepWhen the moon stretches across the sky like a silver veil covering the deep, silent night,
And stars flicker like lost beacons on the vast sea of endless cosmic mystery,
I feel my thoughts, like evening birds, soar toward the dark and tranquil heavens above,
Carried by desires and dreams that never fade, but grow like an unquenchable...
