The light,Blissful and soft.Warm and inviting.Sometimes it calls me,I never listen.But what would it be like?The right cocktail of drugs,Slowly slipping away,No pain, just a blissful feeling.But in the darkness......Hope.A feeling? A person! It keeps me going, she keeps me going...Don’t take away my hope.For what is Hell,But the total absence of hope? So, I write.I write to keep those thoughts and feelings at bay. People...
We used to call it the big "C"And it has had effects on me. The women in our world have wonOur pity for what fate has done. Great Aunts I never knew have passed,Their horrid war they lost at last.Too late my Meme saw her truth.We never will forget, in sooth. Her daughter, Auntie VioletPassed much too soon, should be here yet. Our Mother, Betty was her name,Could not remain, our loss the same. But we have won some battles...
Accept your role, it will not changeWhile takers have the upper hand, But know that it will not derangeYour life beyond a mere demandTo serve the trolls that hold controlOf all our joy and all that's dear,Just wait to hear the first drum rollAnd watch as plunderers know fear. Soon comes the revolution friendsThat sends the monsters to their fateAnd shadows fall upon the endsOf evil creatures filled with hate.The new world...

If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Blue so black,A velvet sweep away to deeper shadows empty;Points of diamond ice prick splendourInto this thin, still-born air.Breath is wreathed around my face,Silver sinking, mouth to ground;A glittering mist of moisture's stasisBeads the frozen earth with glass.Silence, heavy,Hope lies coldAnd petrified in ancient wells.Rime a...
When you came into my life On that warm autumn day I wasn’t looking for anyone But so handsome and caring You made my heart flutter... The road I am travelling Is very dark and confusing It has more questions than answers Leaving me, insecure and moody. And a total bitch. I can see now Although I would love to be with you, This isn’t the time or place... I would rather be friends Than risk, losing you completely. Maybe on...
This story only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Once upon a time, there was a little Christmas fairy. She was a beautiful little Christmas fairy! Her lips were as pink as sugar mice, and her eyes were holly-green, like the holly sprig she wore. Her curly hair was a mane of spun gold, and her wings shimmered liked feathered frost. Her dress had a garland of roses, and was wov...
This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen. Red velvet kindness wraps my heartAnd heats my sodden spirit.Limp, bedraggled soul of mine,Grow with warmth and Shine tears of joy into the night,Where the monsters are throngedAround the ring of this light,And may not cross theThreshold here.Peace, heart,And stay awhileIn golden glow and starlight gleaming.Toast the soft sugar...
Turn back the clocks, forget mistakes,Your heart is torn, it cries again. Expect your life to catch some breaks,Just know that you can take the pain. That cannot be the last of thisYou must know how a life can bend.Accept your dreams, let in the bliss,Be sure that you will see the end. No false Kismet, will seal your fate,Just live the way you wish my dear.So do not dither, don't be lateForget the past and lose your fear....
Walking along the beach Feeling the tears welling in my eyes, I think how good we are together And wondering what will happen now. See today you, brought your ex loveBack into your life. A person you told me That you have, a history of going back too. I wonder if it happens again Where that would leave me? I love the time we have spent together The magical moments We have shared, Holding hands, soft kisses To the more rom...
I am the dark and spooky woods. Oh, please, don’t be afraid. Just because you see overhanging branches and tangled brambles, darkness and no way out, it doesn’t mean I’m going to hurt you. I really do quite like visitors, actually. Come, enjoy my clearly set out paths. You may want to take a flashlight, though. There was this one person who forgot their flashlight. In fact, he hadn’t any idea how he’d got here. I knew exa...
She slowly walks into the dark forest wiping the tears from her eyes. The tree tops filter the moonlight casting an eerie glow through the branches. The brambles from the vines at the base of the trees are ripping at the bottom of her dress. She hears something a few feet away, fear causes her heart to flutter, but she doesn't see anything. She spins around looking for the source of the noise. Stopping, her eyes land on a...
Three little kobe fish swimming in a poolShawl on her shoulder the days rather coolSitting and watching the waters gentle wavesDoppled sunlight reflects, her thoughts were to saveA book of poetry rests there in her handAs her husband is off again, gone overlandA gift from her lover and her best friendTestament of their love will never ever endHe left her this morn long before the days breakAnother two week business trip h...
In the 1990's, I worked for a small company that had a worldwide reputation for computer software excellence. I became the Manager of Software Support a few months after I started. It was a nice job but fraught with thankless problems if solved happily. Part of my position was hiring interns from local universities to work the summer full-time and if they worked out, part-time while in school. During my interview schedule...
Spellbound by your entireness, Your mind and its eminence; This canticle is your spell. Your musings are, the music, Your voice is, the melody, Your touch is, our tempo. The canticle embraces Our promise to honour Our sanguine union. A long sultry kiss; A warm tingling note Lingers on our lips. Acquiesce completely, Desirous bodies dance Into Symphony ascension. A whispered chorus Of wondrous harmony Ignites a crescendo....
It's going well, what could go wrong?One friend's going to the Bear's land, The evil there is growing strong. Freedom is drifting off like sand. My thoughts are losing in their questTo be as sharp as they once were.Words escape me, I'm not my best,My mind is now no longer sure. Getting a part in any playWas once a dream, a role I sought,But now that I am there todayMy brain wonders what I have wrought. Stories flow as I t...
