Premium Member Fear in the Margins
With silent dread beneath the sky, I tell the truth; I do not lie. In mortal coil, I often ask, What lies beyond this fragile mask? The clock ticks on, a steady beat, Uncertain path below my feet— Uncertain path below my feet... For those who have wandered, This way before, Who now are gone, are here no more, Do they laugh or cry or...

I Think I Love You, Dad
A hero to a little boy, Smartest man in the world, so full of joy. Big HOUSE! Big beard. Big Family! Big belly!! “I love you son.” “I love you too, Dad”. A whole different place, Confusion wins the race. One night, a big fright. Discovery leads to recovery “I love you, I promise.” “I love you too, Dad” A fresh new family, A...

Symbolic
Once envoys carried messages, betwixt those Royal thrones of Kings. Scrolls of vellum parchments, all bearing wax insignia, impressed with signet rings. These symbols of authenticity, made safe passage, through far flung foreign fields. Where chivalry of gallant knights gave sanctuary, armed with swords and shields. While Kings and Queens spoke of those deeds, by...

The Sun
The sun vanishes over the horizon, Leaving tear drops of light in the sky. I watch it sink - Solemnly, Sadly, Somberly - Past the mountains. Daylight is your face. I am in the dark now, Trying to thrive While you are not here. Your glow is addicting - It kisses my skin And caresses my hair In bright strokes of light. When you return to me, My...

Pretentious Poem 2
Blackened cubes of naturality stomache across the pains of a million screaming faces Crushed by the weight of two ton pound horsehell and drowned in the unthoughtfulness of the moon's cruel disregard towards the emotions of the ground-up grime of the Earth. Her circular orbit brings punishment towards the agony and despair of crying mothers Wailing and screaming...

Symbolic Gestures
You ask me pointed questions about where I stand, as if a statement makes a difference. How much assistance does the homeless veteran receive when someone says “I care?” Do words of support fill the empty stomach of the child sitting in an empty kitchen? Does a Facebook post with dramatic picture heat a cold apartment, while the landlord saves money? I’ll ignore your persistent inquiries for symbolic gestures. Not be diverted from doing...
