a practiced smile on her face a mother’s oenomel breath puffs wind under gossamer wings reminiscent of the translucent wings of green lacewings— mistaken for a pest, but beneficial— to strike out and explore a thorny world resisting the siren call of spring’s scent turning their heads with songs of love emerging personalities unravel the cocoon spun in...

I take heed of what I’m too scared to admit, Keep stepping on, Sometimes you just take the lead and head on into the darkest abyss. Focus hard on what it is that you miss, Make time for yourself, Sometimes you’ve gotta remind yourself that you exist. Take heed of what you transmit, Cantankerous, Cancerous, Make...

Premium Member Plagued by Memories
Quiet devastation ~ a space occupied completely alone. Necessity for perspective without assistance. I cannot make noise, should I scream for attention, it becomes a cheap fix - unsatisfying, pity based. So I meditate on being wanted, knowing I'm rejection's source. It's so deeply personal, it's wrapped in shame - a gut-wrenching, addictive...

Bring Him Home
The silence stretches, a taut wire across borders, across oceans of unspoken dread. A name whispered in the dry heat, a face etched on worn photographs, a promise hanging heavy in the air. They speak of strategy, of interests, of the intricate dance of power, but I see only an empty chair. The news flickers, a kaleidoscope of...

White Suits and Wet Streets, A Miami Vice Poem
White Suits and Wet Streets, A Miami Vice Poem The pastel blur of Ocean Drive at twilight, a saxophone weeping through the humid air. White linen jackets catching the neon glow, shoulder pads sharp enough to cut the tension. Crockett's stubble, a permanent shadow, Tubbs' wry smile, a shield against the grit. Their Daytona Spyder, a white streak of rebellion, slicing through the...

Premium Member Interview With an Angel
Nervously checking my hair, Noting the silver is peppered with grey. My hand trembles as I put on my lipstick— My favourite shade of pink. My reflection bores a frown, But today, I turn it upside up. The big interview with an angel Will happen when the clock strikes Midnight. The mystery of the night Is needed for the halo to shine as bright as...

Premium Member The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe God
Growing up in a loving family of seven— church on Sundays, bare feet running wild, sharing a tricycle with three— double the fun, one standing behind the seat. Dreaming of white dresses and Prince Charming, following my dreams, praying in church to a God so giving. Marveling at trees, sunrises, sunsets, the deep blue sea— His touch lingering in the beauty of life, painting a picture so...

INACTION
The chubbiness of your dense casing Is an insulator indeed The small still voice is hindered permeate The depth of a copious essence A mind never regenerated In new known ways to profit Hence your way is wood as you cuddle it Time’s river drowning dreams afar shore As you trot in ways antique With golden opportune wilting Hence amity is fog ...

Premium Member Plagued By Memories
Everywhere I turn, a new memory visits— a simple hair tie sitting beside the hair clip in the medicine cabinet. A Bright Eyes t-shirt still lays at the bottom of the laundry basket. The blue nursing uniform, and the pink stethoscope—marked with the initials “K.C.”— a treasure, a marking of a calling so great. The letter from the hospital offering a placement to a young,...
