It was gonna be
a long ride
and the Lyft driver
needed to gas up her car
She apologized several times
I used my phone
to search for nearby gas station
one right along the way
before hitting I-95
It all worked out
We found... [read more] |

redbrick posted a new Poem titled adrift (interim title) 3 weeks ago

like a ship on a silent sea,
lantern‑eyes searching horizons
no voice will answer.
You glide,
like a wolf through endless forest,
each step a question,
each howl a prayer to the night.
You cut the dark,
like a... [read more] |

No Hurry
So today the doggy woke me up to pray to God.
I woke up with no pain.
I woke up to hearing God and confirmation on so many things.
I have been crying all morning.
Not sad tears just weeping for things the Lord has said and shown me.
No... [read more] |

"draw us into orbit"
In the villa imagined,
a single flame persists—
not Ormen’s candle repeated,
but a fragile axis
around which shadows turn.
And when Bon Scott fell,
his voice extinguished,
the band carried his gravity... [read more] |

"Shadows Lengthen"
Shadows lengthen across the worn ground, stretching like tired limbs that no longer recall the crispness of morning, the sharp incision of light once piercing the air.
Now the rays falter, contours soften,... [read more] |

A star folds inward,
its pull rearranging galaxies.
Cells echo this collapse,
their endings feeding the marrow of others.

not silence, but... [read more] |

They take what they want and never think twice
Take away your life, and safety
Innocence gone, darkness remains
Nobody will listen, nobody will care
It's your fault this happened
Now deal with the consequences
Some of us forget

You keep telling me in my head that
it’s going to be ok

dhicks01 posted a new Poem titled Shadows of The Past 3 weeks ago
I thought of you tonight
On a windswept high,
As the music I was listening to
Crushed my soul
I’ve never felt so sad…and alone
As I listened, I wrote down these words
A lady working at the Applebees
said “I’m so dead inside” not talking... [read more] |
