Dreams Just another fading town along the railroad line Thousands dotted the way west Once a proud centre of commerce Over 3000 souls called it home Now 68 hang on to their dreams Rusting rails, empty buildings moan in the wind Some come to the Coffee shop each morning Talk of weather, politics and lost dreams Coffee now a $1.00 a cup They moan with the wind saying I remember it a nickle. Proud of how they kicked Hitler'...
Asleep I stray to crystalline woodlands Down moonlit paths bestrewn with jeweled sands In search of the Lady who wears the crown My precious Princess to whom I bow down. Her palace is made of sapphire and jadeTo Her your life has been lovingly made She cares not for the sins you are confessingWith a pearl like smile She bestows her blessing. Upon Her throne of topaz and turquoise Her beauty transcendent with grace and poi...
How was I to know When I boarded that big metal bird My happiness would soar on wings that roared Leap of faith that left me breathless and wanting more A weightless rush of joy I fell down my own rabbit hole Adrenalin kick for sure as I rode dorothy's twister north My yellow brick road paved gold floating on cloud filled skies Heart in my throat as those wings gave a jerk Descending to a snowy landscape below Heart beat...
A girl stared into my eyes, her face a familiar stranger. She looked worried, if a bit terrified. Wide blue eyes, long black hair and porcelain white skin, I somehow knew this girl. Her lips moved, but I couldn't hear a word she said. I walked up to her in case she was whispering the words. I still couldn't hear her. "What are you saying?" I asked worried. "They are coming, Akiko," the girl said ominously. She broke into...
Two weeks later he sat in the office of the most prestigious and knowledgeable coin collectors in the state. It took almost three hours to reach this destination using public transportation. The man masked his surprise at meeting a teenager and not a fellow collector. He politely asked to see what it was he had brought in while he prayed it was not another kid with some old and worthless coins.Vince carefully unwrapped it...
I had decided to visit Shanghai with the flurry of movement that invaded the city at that point in time after the war. This decision I took for my interest in the city, but mainly because of my subconscious desire to escape mounting debts, and an unrequited love back home in Marseilles. I took up a low, unglamorous room in the French quarter of the city, hardly surrounded by friends- but at least people living on the same...
Seven Wishes of your Lover Warm sun on your shoulders Happiness in your heart Sparkling dark eyes ablaze Gift of music on your lips Mystery await your every turn Calm to stay in your soul Love forever ..
Eye lids flutter Her nightmare begins Tossing and turning like flotsam on the sea Chased by something without a face She clutches the book to her breasts, its pages tattered and torn Her book of dreams It pages written in her hearts blood Her hopes and promises to her self found in its worn depths Five keys to unlock her dreams Two she holds, three she must win She runs through a dusky wood The trees mock her The fog rise...
My keyboard doesn't seem to be working properly. For someone like me, who types all the time, that ain't a good thing. It's downright annoying, actually. When I get on a roll, I tend to bash it really hard and quick. That almost sounds like a euphemism, but it ain't. Though, that is true too. Don't mind me, I'm just rabbiting. I fancy duck today, or at some point when I'm awake again. I'll have duck and perhaps a... Huh....
A raven came in a dream and called me owl A wolf came growling and said I cry foul He is not an owl I think he is kin to the devil Surrounding me with fire on a spiritual level Raven cawed casting some magic of his own He is only troubled I think he has no home Wolf arched his back giving an eerie howl The one called owl hoo hooted with a scowl Along came coyote to join with his friends Yipping loudly owl needs to make am...
They ran into the courtyard. The trial had just begun; the king had started the prosecution of the murderer. Two girls, one dressed in red with gold embroidery, the other in jade green with silver embroidery, wanted a good clear view of the trial, but being so small, they could not see over the crowd. One turned and saw a window with ivy cascading down from the ledge. Iron bars covered the glass for show. The girls quickl...
Innocent little miss honey With her seraphic heartBorn on the plains of goldIn pursuit of her American Dream Hitchhiked without moneyTo the sunset for a fresh startInto the City of Angels she rolledOnto the boulevard of broken dreams Broke, she became a bunnyConcrete jungle working her hardThe circus wheel turning to moldForced to produce societies cream A good audition turned her life sunnyShe had been saving smartNot th...
This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere it has been stolen. Once in a blue moon, I glimpse a special soul, Reflections of myself, A sense of being home. Once in a blue moon, Dancing in the moonlight, Rapture, adoration, Imaginary love. Once in a blue moon, Dreaming of being one, Wishes, dreams, magic, Set sail across the sea. Once in a blue moon, Grasping, yet un-reaching, To touch, to s...
This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Light puddles on the floor,Crawling along the wooden slatsAnd bleeding down the cracksTo nowhere and somewhereAnd anywhere thatStartsRightHere.Mellow honeyed scentOf angels thatSings streaming through the windowIn the daytimeAnd seeps across the moonIn the nighttime,I breathe in the soot on theHearthstone ofGod's heartAnd am not...
Dawn breaks open your skies; It’s twilight in my realm. I hasten to bed before midnight, As your sun overwhelms. I lie down lonely here, And pray wakefulness gone; I need to catch a dream to take me To you, and be as one. Beautiful Dream Faerie Controls our secret tryst. She dances upon the willow branch, In dreams we are both kissed. Her wishes carry me Over oceans to you; The whisper of waves float me closer. Dream Faer...
