Premium Member Just waiting for your call, A Stevie Wonder style ICU Grrove
In this white-washed room, time moves slow, Monitors beepin’ soft and low, I got tubes and dreams, but one thing’s clear— The only medicine I need is your voice in my ear. Nurses come and go like the wind through the door, But I’m anchored in a hope I can’t...

PULL ME OUT
Lost Underneath this despair Lies darkness that loots Loots the humanity inside of me It is darkness I see,not humanity It is darkness that sees me,not humanity Dead Dead Is the light of hope Hope for the light that outshines the darkness Darkness that loots,the sanity inside me Gloom Gloom Fills the heart that loves,that loved In the time of emptiness Gloom is what fills me,gloom is...

Trash
to sew eyes shut, and turn away from the face I see each day a temptation stronger than reason unyielding as the passing seasons my voice is tame, common refrain a quiet whimper, uttered in shame? yet if I form rhyme with which to speak does seeking the truth not set you free? twisting verse into line against the clock's cruel designs an upheaval with...

Sincere Condolences
Thank you for the card Your letters are stunning The door open just a crack But we know you don’t look back A question or a ruse Ready to leave another bruise I duck and weave against the air But again you are not there So I walk over the words Try to find something unheard Until I find our familiar pattern How did I let...

Premium Member Dogs of War and Why I Feel Sad For The Zionists
Babes. Raised to outfit an agenda. The element of nature versus nurture. A pitbull is a dog like any other as is a Jew is a human like any other. Babes. Any dog any human, raised to be a weapon will be lethal. Babes. Any dog any human honed like a tool sharpened like a...

Profit and loss keep happening
Title of poem- "Profit and loss keep happening Sometimes silence is better, innocence is better The foundation of some complicated relationships is also better Why worry about this loneliness? Why fear your own shadow? Why break some priceless relationships? Why get swept away by just people's words? Life's flavor is unique, its rules are also unique Some sour, some sweet...... some tangled, some untangled How...

Reflections of the Past, Visions of the Future
I thought this noxious pain would abandon my agonized heart after a while I thought if I could write better it would ease on me Maybe my tacks were wrong, I couldn't find my way to exist, still a character of a juvenile They mocked my will, my reasons, my need to smile No matter how old, never will...

A single candle emits a faint light Share the candlelight widely, spreading Light hundreds to brighten the night Ignite thousands to blaze our places The light from a small candle endures Even the swift wind cannot extinguish it We can relight one another, for sure Our sharing will revive time...

She's Someone Close To Me
She sits next to me As my mind wonder in the dark You're like a close member of the family. Let me hug you like this As the world is needing love Making you as my last refuge.

Beyond this realm of all we know exists another where souls can grow. A welcome space proved true by faith where wings, brand new, are greeted, embraced.

It’s hard to believe, even harder to accept, the depth of emotions so heavy,...

Premium Member The Craving
A hunger deep, a yearning strong, A craving's call, where does it belong? Is it the steak, the burger's bite, A beefy feast, a savory light? Or poultry's charm, a chicken's grace, A turkey's plump, or goose's chase? The flavors dance, a tempting plea, But still, the hunger, wild and free. Perhaps the sea, a briny call, Clams, lobster, fish, to stand up tall. Seafood's...

In search of sympathy
All have hassles their own, All with own fate upset, With whom to pour my heart? Under roof-- one common All suffer self-sown fate, With whom to pour my heart? Sad tales, not so unknown, They all seem to narrate, With whom to pour my heart? No one is left alone If we search, sort, ferret, With whom...

Premium Member Finding Comfort
In the silence of a summer thought, Blessed by the quiet Who is cold and distraught… Grief steals the colors of sea and hope Revealing gray hue Broken hearts – can we cope?.... In the silence of a wind’s soft breath, A million tears Caressing what’s left after her death…. Sorrow chants of a longing, a yearning Despair in the rain, Pouring darkness, endlessly turning…. In the...
