1 Rain pouring from the sky washes away my sins and my fears. It brings a peace I have not felt for so long, lost in time and yet never forgotten. 2 Dark skies without the sun in sight, how so many feel so depressed and tired. But I stand strong through it all as this is only the dark before the morning. 3 A gift we take for granted shining every day illuminating the earth and bringing warmth. How easily we forget our own...

I am bathed in my own morals On the curve of the beachIn the damp sand Where the water rises to greet And then slips silently awayEbbs and flows Under the oblivious light of the moonThe wind fingers my hairBut offers no armsI am alone with my lossesAnd my painsSo subjectiveIs regretAn ache that progressesOnce it states its claimIt clamps down on the heartProhibits the normalcy of just ...breathing I am my own cautionary t...

Damned tech, speed up!Damned user, I can't keep up. I'm frazzled. Damned idiots, can't do without tech. Hey, I'm hot! Come and bathe in me. Damned tech, I'll go 'outside', whatever that is. No! Damned human, not here! I'm dy...

I love it, this heat The scorching sun that sizzles on tar roads The searing metal of a seat belt buckle. Sure we complain One hundred and seventeen degrees Farenheit Some sadistic streak lets us enjoy The strolling walk in golf. Our shade is the long pole shadow Of a saguaro cactus Our drink is in the Holy Grail Of a mirage, untouchable There is little more precious than a good glass of water And a good deal of shade. Sh...

Another day has come to life. The sun has risen into the sky. Do you feel the joy in the air? Do you see the beauty? There are angels in our lives. There are people we fail to recognize. But, for today, let us remember the good, And let us forget the pain. Let us stand together, Side by side, under the bright sunlight. Let us share the moment Together for the rest of our lives. The sun sets behind the mountain peaks, And...

Sitting here on a sandstone rock  Enjoying the sun with blue skies above Closing my eyes just listening  Hearing sounds of distant traffic, birds chirping all around  As the water in the creek flows across the rocks feeling the breeze against my skin. opening my eyes as I hear people approaching Watching a family walk closer  Acknowledging them with a friendly hello  They continue on, bouncing the basketball As they head...

I walked on the beach today, Thinking of you, As the waves crashed My heart soared I smiled to myself Still remembering your whispers The words of a lover Giving his heart and soul Your touch on my body Your breath in my ear A love so giving Full of passion and no fear As I walked further The sun in my eyes I was blinded by the rays Not words of those who chastise You speak of tomorrow's Our future so bright Our present i...

Prologue: 5:30 this morning as I stood in the dark, I could see Venus, as she was following the last quarter of the moon across a crystal sky. The darkness of night being quickly consumed by a new rising sun, bringing promise of a clear sunny day. An old Beatles song began playing in my mind. "Here comes the sun, here comes the sun and I say it's all right." I couldn't help daydreaming about Spring and wrote down what I w...

open mind, sinking heart shaking hands where have I gone? I cannot see the sun. lay down, sleep forever wake up can't get back to sleep what's happened to me? I cannot breathe. sick stomach, crying eyes bitten lips what is this? I feel like giving Death a kiss. this is not me what is this? what's happened to me? where have I gone? I cannot find the sun.

This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.She walks the world with heavy beauty,Never seeing decadence in her curves;Eyes regard her lively, loving,In sumptuous angles ofLaughter and satinThat tie her soul in a strong-willed bowAgainst the pain that breaks her heartAnd holds her heart in sorrows pastAnd fears so present,Where words are growing and overflowingTo share he...

I went to the ocean the other day. To get in I had to pay. Into the lot I drove; Between the cars I wove. I looked and looked; found the perfect spot. Got out of my car. It sure was hot. The sun shone brightly. I treaded very lightly. My feet were hot when they hit the wet grass. I slipped and fell ending up on my ass. My blanket, towel and books got wet. I was at the beach so why fret. My girl stood there laughing at me....

The sun and the moon: two bodies so alike and so different, The sun: perfect, warm and bright, The moon: faulty, cold and dark. The sun gives off light and everyone wants to be near it, The moon just reflects light and no one pays much attention to it. Every day the sun and moon used to interact, There was happiness, love and laughter. But alas, the sun has gone away and now is only the moon, There is only despair, abando...

May all your dreams come true. stand upon giant mountains and scream  happiness unbound and wings now grow. Who can hold me down?  The chains of earth and hell broken.  The calls of annoyance from un-required obligations of others. None of those are important.  I am on wings and eating freedom as though a cake.  love runs through my veins now. Respect my new cap  may all my dreams come true.  May they come true because of...

He crept into the room quietly. Curiosity caught the better of him and he wanted to see the little princess that the castle was raving about. The room was dark and the crib stood alone in the moonlight. He heard rumors about her beauty, the charm in her eyes and the golden color of her hair. Even luck was on her side for as of yet, the mark of the cursed wasn’t on her. He tiptoed up to the crib and peered over the edge. S...

He was a tinkerer ever since he could remember; plastic bricks, tiny fake logs, that’s how it all began. Since then, he had graduated to bigger and better things–they weren’t actually very big things in any literal sense of the word, but definitely much better, definitely more serious, definitely more important. It sparked and sizzled out between the cold, steel tongs holding it in place. This one failed, again. If it wer...
