Stephen posted a new Poem titled ON ELFIN FEET 2 min ago
On elfin feet she
ambled through life
a cat on padded paws
soft footprints left behind
ethereal signs along
life’s byways left there
subtle emotions left
by the wayside of life.

You are not just my best friend,
you are a reminder
of how strong a woman can be.
The way you rise after every fall,
the way you smile
even when life feels heavy.
Your heart carries kindness,
your soul carries courage,
and your... [read more] |
Stephen posted a new Poem titled GRACE STILL OWES ME 4 min ago
There was no overflow
of wonderful souvenirs
naught but a hard struggle
from infancy to adolescence
that Vietnam thing
no precious gift from the magi
life a cold hard struggle
occurred mostly in my mind
took me down back alleys of delusion
thus... [read more] |
Stephen posted a new Poem titled THOSE LEFT BEHIND 5 min ago
Vagabonds
traveling gypsies
baggage from the past
drug behind them
the left behind lost
on the periphery
like scavengers
they eke out a living
tokens precious to them kept
in dark corners of their slums
mementos of simple times
displayed on special... [read more] |

The years have taken its toll
on the fervor of my feelings
those few enduring passions
tempered a bit by time
time taming intense anger
true tranquility
silent serenity
found deep within my psyche
the days of my old age staid
by a stillness in my... [read more] |

Bazoora posted a new Poem titled Creatures Attracted to Light 2 hours ago
There’s no light in those fields
Where the leaves of cane stalks
sway with the warm tropical breeze
The heavy hands painted them red
tainting the sugar bowl with the
colors of injustice.
Those who pull the weight of scales
tells you that the youth... [read more] |

In the quiet of the night
dances intrusive delusions
fireflies of emotions
within the unconscious
imagination unleashed
(unabashed)
the air outside cascading
intuitive swirls of
subliminal inspirations
originated in the depths

He unaware of
his connection with the past
is lost on the way
to some outback
in the depths of his mind
the truth left in the womb
of some unknown old woman.

Lost
(in a Ferlinghetti moment)
hurled back to the 60’s
corridors of memories
window of despair
painful reflections stored
horrendous things
(held like family heirlooms)
closely guarded until my death.

The ultimate

cosmos stilled in its celestial orbit

Stephen posted a new Poem titled DAWNS DELIGHT 4 hours ago
The fog
(with a cool sheath)
eases over the landscape
(a smooth silky coverlet)
vibrant wildflowers
touched by its dew
my emotions stroked
by an envelope
of ethereal air
on a summer’s morn
in my childhood
the aroma of
hot bacon frying
from the... [read more] |

(Like a kaleidoscope)

as an affront to his character
delusional transmuted reality
accepted as normal
mind bubbling with anger
psyche filled
with incredulous... [read more] |

we claim our victory
we claimed we have

the wilderness?

Savvart posted a new Poem titled Finding Truth 16 hours ago
I wandered through the halls within,
Past guarded doors and walls of stone,
Searching for a love so vast,
Yet knowing I was not alone.
I looked in faces, fleeting arms,
In whispered vows beneath the skies,
Yet every longing led me back
To... [read more] |
