Premium Member In the days that gradually thin, sprinkled with the last strands of sand
In the days that gradually thin, sprinkled with the last strands of sand, Evening descends upon my old and warm soul, Bony and stiff fingers, yearning for the warmth of the waning summer, As the approach of autumn whispers again in the jingle of copper leaves. My knees, never masters of the paths we'd still wander, Bend under the weight...

TOMORROW Tomorrow keeps on Lifting her delicate hand And flipping back strands of Her colored, cherry-brown hair, Which hang alonside her neck… Grown long enough to just touch Her collarbone. Embellished with floral And feathered pins, Her exquisite hair flows down Like the ironed lines Of a cut and...

Tiny Hands In Shiny Strands
In tiny hands, a glowing screen A world of knowledge, or so it seems But with each swipe, a deeper hole And a growing disconnect, we can't control Kids so young, with heads bowed low Trapped in a world that we don't know The light of life, so dimly lit As screens become the new babysit The lure of games, the children fall An...

Inspired by: The Eye of the Lord (1870) painting by Georgiana Houghton. The painting should accompany the words My eyes are heavy As if covered by a film Layer upon layer Of my life And the mistakes That have been made To age Takes away second chances Wearies the bones No matter This taint and stain colours My view The weight of the world And...

Unknown, the Remnant Strands
It befalls on me the intensity, Catapulted with dire immensity, Within which lives the sensitivity, Of them emotions built, the lightest. Then befell on me, the beknownst, Whistled in hymnes and in absence, The peculiarities in offsetting balances, Them unknown like the remnant strands, And today rejoicing to the kinds of sounds, Evilly tracked and maximum on commands, Nursed the grievances forthwith, Right so...

Premium Member Just Strands of Straw
Just Strands of Straw I look into the mirror, my hair has dropped to the sink. It is a trail of tears, years of taking care of split ends, fluffing and drying, tying it up, leaving it down… now, just gone. My crown of glory it is… gone. Maybe and more than likely, forever… Yet the Glory of My Lord, is...

Premium Member Delicate Strands of Sound
Flanked by violets and similes in a drafty den she pens away fleet hours, pensive, concocting exotic brews of rarest essence and scents, honey-tipped phrases in secret rhythmical chants known only to denizens of her innermost sanctum, where she, perches, chin in hand, arranging delicate strands of...

Strands of the Night
Full moon's gaze, does it gently look upon me. Etwined by moons gentle beams, as they fall softly upon cheek. Tangled in your soft gaze as does the rest of the world lay rest. Figures and shadows cast forth into various hue's of grey. Deeper still... shadow cast forth on shadow, nothing to contast one from...

Brexit Sonnet 16 - Diverse Woven Strands
Brexit Sonnet No.16 ‘Diverse Woven Strands’ Our embroidered story, with boundaries crissed and crossed, With boats and men ‘o horse in serried rows. With comets, relics, hawks and battles lost And headless, limbless men this fabric shows. Some say it t’was the Kentish Saxon hand Whose needle rudely stabbed the linen cloth. Others swear title stems from William’s land; But time flows by...
