    How Do You Sleep At Night?

    Been peddling cruel dreams Kerosene lies forged in hate Nothing is ever as it seems When logic's robbed of weight   Still holding onto an illusion  Drifting further from reality Ain’t no calm in mass confusion  Useful idiots prefer brutality   Upside down heading off-road  This house of cards is...

Currently I’m working on a song called, “Novocain.” The words are posted here on the site. I got the music laid out, got the growls recorded, trying to get a good vocal take on the verses and bridge. Which requires me to sing. lol. Glad to see you back! Appreciate you.

    • This is strong as straight vodka on the morning after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Very strong my friend. Truly a power tonic in this age of authoritarianism in America. You hit the bullseye. You are a master at writing song lyrics that rock my soul.

  • opposites

    You can't know onewithout knowing the other.No cold without warm.No dark without light.No skinny without fat.No wet without dry.No ugly without pretty.No big without small.Nature doesn't make opposites.It just iswhole and unbroken.The mountain doesn’t name itself tall,the tide doesn’t...

    • It seems that we need them both to see each other’s point of view.

    • Thanks for your considered comment.
      I only put the political line in to highlight the point that one exists because of the other.
      My politics are on the left because that’s where I see less selfishness but in truth there is only a bees dick between most political parties.
      Business runs the show.

      And on a whim.
      I think I like you 😜

    Glacier Blue and Petaled Pink A Tetralogy of Transpacific Reflection I.

    • I must say, I really like the new style you are writing in. This is so peaceful and reflective

    • Beautifully penned, S. Crisp imagery and an excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • Libellule, this is hands down the best travel poem I have ever read. You do much more than illustrate you dig deep into the emotional journey in a way that is sheer awe inspiring to read. Many can take the journey but few that paint both the scenes and emotions in such a deeply passionate and grand way. I am enthralled by the way your lyrical poetics spill across the screen as I read. Truly a masterpiece of travelers poetry.

  • Brown Eyes

    They say,I think there is something wrong with me.Because I don't have blue eyes.An eye color so beautiful you fantasize. If I had blue eyes,I would walk the runway.My eyes will look divine.But after a while,I realised. That brown eyes are...

    Bound Silence

    Bound Silence Silk breath meets shadow’s thread,knots bloom like quiet blossoms—each loop a question of surrender,each crossing, an unseen trust. The body becomes a line drawn in air,a calligraphy of stillness;every curve remembers wind,every bind teaches patience. In tension, there is music...

    • Once I got passed the delicious picture I found something even better….your words.
      Terrific 👍

    • We read this offline and don’t know why but but we thought of Casketsharpe, not really your norm. We thought erotic at first but changed our mind preference/acceptance, tight

    • Passionately penned, S. Amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • You are a true poet in every sense of the word. This is so well written I felt it deep my soul. This is the perfect sensual poem that goes deep into the emotion the woman with tender and powerful depth of passion. No one does this better than you.
