FRANCISCO THE SIMPLE DIED
The simple, spontaneous man died he died suffering, but happy as he always was; he knew the spiritual value of "putting more water on the beans" He knew how to forgive and ask for forgiveness... He knew how to gather and welcome those in need of bread and light! good friend, amigo, hermano, fratello GOD IS WITH YOU !...

You shattered dream
2025.4.20 I was so excited. I was going on a trip, All the way to New South Wales, Sydney. Where I last visited in 2006. This time, I wanted to climb, On the Australia icon "Sydney Harbour bridge", Stamped my feet around the Rocks square, Then on the Sydney Opera House's steps. I had a choice either up north To Newcastle and Lake...

“Hello” Hello, Hello, Hello. I say Hello to all who pass me by, No matter the trail, No matter how steep, No matter the street, It is my treat. I say Hello, For the smile it brings, To the young, To the aged, To the lonely and the sad. To all who pass me by. I say Hello, For the friend I wish to be To...

Darn - Apr 17
O’ dear, I learned today you’re spoken for; I asked the question, got the answer: “no”. Ayayaye…but, considering the blow wasn’t so bad, I’m glad I tried to score. Oh dear,—(I must admit)—you know what’s more?, you’ve snatched the beauty right out from this low world; o’ diamond, why must you hoard it so? All other charms have lost their glow, they...

Premium Member A Simple Hello
If just a hello is all you can say To brighten what might be someone’s bad day, Then that’s what you do. You say a hello. And give what you can that all men might grow. If one little smile is all you can give, To make one life a bit better to live, What else can you do...

iMan - Apr 13
Observe the modern generations walk on by; they suckle from the plastic teat of coffee cups, and stumped by stamping feet they shamble unaware from flock to flock.— infant adults—if earnest I may speak; Look there: one loops in circles (a grand feat!) and, as if an ornithological suite, the gaggle shuffles behind,—“squawk squawk squawk!” Yikes… I suppose that if I ran...

Premium Member Simple Love Revealed
The scarlet floraison of passion Whispers softy through the air Beckoning hearts to roam A river of celestial stairs Lost in a misty gaze Climbing to heavens door I drown in dreams of ecstacy Upon the endless shore Zephyr blows free Entwined in love's spell Embarking on a voyage A longing dream sets sail ...

A simple life
Don't by me designer clothes, don't give me precious stones, don't need none of that. Take me for a walk on the beach by the cove. I want to feel the rocks beneath my toes. Don't want to live in a mansion where fake people dwell. Don't want to rent the penthouse in some fancy hotel....

flip a coin
two sides to every coin sometimes, the head speaks while the tail roars twisted by the pain tales of their fame an infamous villain sent to the stockade Tales told, and evils sold A penchant for vengeance Minded by spite, and grounded in hate You'll hear the story just a few years too late Heads determined to seek recompense at slights imagined, and time spent...

When the Abuse Thinks Simple Thoughts
You have a knack for making every bone in my brain ache. If I stick around they'll surely snap like twigs. I wonder what bones haven't mended in your brain for you to mar mine. Must have been hard for you to become so merciless. I hope I don't become the same I hope... ...
