Sometime showing glitz and glamour, the cover of a book deceives. When opened and read, the wordsshow no sparkle, or sex appeal. Judging a book by its cover alone, does not let you see what is within. When we first meet another person,it is very much the same. Judging by their appearances alone,the real person can be missed. What appears inside can surprise! A heart of gold, full of love and caring,a real gem, full of sci...
Loneliness crept in and poisoned my soul,it burned with a flame of amber and gold,which made my heart turn black and cold.Where feelings and emotions were empty,and the days went by in a standstill.It came without a warning, out of nowhere, you threw me a lifeline.I grabbed and took hold of it,not knowing where it took me or where I am going.Before the drowning waters could surround me,I was hauled off onto the boat of fr...
It takes a while to wake up. Consciousness has to wade through swirling fudge before it arrives for duty, as do new thoughts and last night's recollections. My bloodless legs have been elevated, for some hours, at an acute angle against the opposite wall which is only four feet from the wall supporting my back. The folding fisherman's stool wobbles beneath me as I grab the bottoms of my trouser legs and drag their flaccid...
Is it a phenomena of our time,this so called meeting online? Meeting out in virtual space.Touching each with embrace. Souls have a way of connecting. Without ones heart expecting. Hearts make connections real.Sentiments are hard to conceal. Often ones mind fills with fear.Not letting true emotions appear. If this connection is embraced.Pain sometimes can be erased. Never seeing the others face,doesn't change the interlace...
Think I've kissed a lot of frogs in my search for a prince each time thinking I've found the key to happiness each time being shot down in flames my heart has learnt to be resilient but my arms are still empty and my skin still untouched But for brief moments in time when yet another promises much and delivers to begin with and then slowly or quickly runs hard fast and swiftly away so much for rising like a phoenix out of...
Because of you, in so many ways — I am stronger...I am better.No longer am I weak and tethered; Your acquaintance released my fetter.~ Your quick wit makes me laugh; ...I am happier. Your unfailing support bolsters me; ...I am more confident. Your gentle advice nudges me; ...I am more productive. Your unerring perception enlightens me; ...I am healthier. Your faithful friendship empowers me; ...I am more trusting. Your...
Some are long Some are short Some a flash in the pan Some are precious Some are costly Some take what they can Some are true Some are false Some you want to ban Some steel your heart Some break it Some become a fan Some you enjoy Some not so much Some they have a plan Some you understand Some you never do Some depart your clan
A Time and Place by Rumple deWriter It had all ended. The last hymn faded into silence. The last prayer spoken. The last condolence given. Mike still couldn’t cry—not yet. Back home he fell into an uneasy sleep filled with the same dream. Flames and smoke boiled from the windows in the back half of the old, wooden church. Framed against the stormy, night sky, the fire so dominated their minds no one noticed the parking lo...
“You’re asking me how it’s going?” I said incredulously. “How can you ask me that? I’m paralyzed and I’m dying, for god’s sake!” “Well you don’t have to be sarcastic!” came the response. “And besides, you’re not dead…..yet. By the way, my name is Waldo. Nice to meet you.” Waldo flew over my head singing ‘Getting to know you…..getting to know all about you…..’ I learned later that he often did things like that; he had been...
This is my first time and comments are allowed. I just had my breakfast and was leaving the table when the butler walked up to me. “Good morning ma, will you be going for your daily walk today?” he asked. “Yes, I will” I replied. “Then I will alert the driver.” “No Stephen, I’ll be going alone.” “But ma your...” “Hold it there.” “The last time this happened you ended up in the hospital and you know what your dad will say,...

Marion is busy this evening just chat with me for a while then to take different pathis best for you. I looked at my watch after chatting politely to this guy who had been banished from our pro...
I recently lost two relatives who I was not close to. I have also been thinking a lot about separation and the reasons behind it. This poem is about making amends and finding peace before it’s too late. Souls like lights, travel through space,Trails crossing, lighting the face,Of the beautiful world they roam,This rich and varied Earth called home.Each soul we touch with recognition,On our core leaves an impression.If we...
for L Life has been unkind - yet you still standthrough unimaginable griefthrough shattered livesthrough a plague on your blood. through a mind being lost. You still stood with the unyielding weight on your shoulders alone. Then, unsurprisingly, your love finally admitting it never wasA love that was never built on trust, or compromisebut rather solely on the fear of being alone. You, who found strength through it all, st...
There is so much more to me than just the words you read My words are only the starting point of all that I can be The thoughts that I write to you are true and from my heart The emotions I am discovering I have never felt before My life has been a struggle filled with betrayal and unanswered love The vow I made was in spite of me and not what I had hope for Many times I wondered if I would ever find the keys and be free...
