Cold is the heart that beats alone,
And even colder, the one that led it there.
Warmth is hard to find at home
When the mind is lost, and the soul is bare.
Time can't heal the disease
When the cure is worse than being sick.
The future is... – by Mathew L. Hunt | added by mathewhunt

I know what's its like to be a mother on her own
Betrayed by them all, left feeling all alone
Lost in the game, struggling just to survive
But she keeps fighting, trying to keep her dreams alive
Lost in the system, no one to hold her... – by Burden of a mom | added by alyssaguerrero889

The blank zone
It's a beautiful place
where thought approaches
then veres off trajectory
verse hesitates
at the gate
words in cars drive by
windows up closed
flooring the accelerator
seen through rear mirror
promising to return
It's... – by Terry Emmanuel | added by terrye.62528

Nothing I can do.
Nothing I can say.
Nothing to keep you here,
and allow you to stay.
Nothing to hear.
Nothing to tell.
Nothing for you,
except how I feel.
Nothing to save you.
Nothing to see.
Nothing to know,
except everything about... – by Suzanne Rose | added by suzbsbkurtz

Now
Close your eyes
going to count down from ten
and then…
10… there's a tree can you see
the leaves as it catches the light in bright and dappled beams (nods),,,
9... fluttering in the breeze,can you feel
the breeze as it teases your... – by Terry Emmanuel | added by terrye.62528

There can be no motivation,
Without the having of incentive.
To finish and complete,
What one seeks to see and feel it done.
This takes determination.
With a tolerating frustration.
Since seldom is one satisfied.
Becoming more critical.

Watercolours
pon canvas
magically appear here
refracted light
on ice crystals
Scarlet whispered
gold to-
blue the blues
brush strokes
virgin sky
The blue ball spins
on it's axis
In the obsidian dark
elements of earth

My slang I used had a mild twang like the southern slang,
No disheartening verse or a curse that stir distraught,
Instead from a caged room in a jailhouse block,
I learned to put my jaws on lock,
No knock, knock jokes to unlock in the block,

Butterfly, butterfly flap your wings.
Exploring the unknown and the world beyond. Crawling across green leaves with your furry feet.
Ever since you came out of your cacoon.
Embraced, wrapped in your comfort vessel.
Breaking out of your shell... – by Ax.Barajas | added by axbarajas0419

Some say there is no reason
To be so wary of everyone
I want to say they’re right
How can I say you’re right?
There is no reason to hide the truth
There is no reason to tell you the truth
I can’t vindicate myself for this
I can’t clear my... – by j-p-n | added by joshuan.20683

If you were to say you were sorry
Would you gouge your eyes out for me
To unsee what I’ve seen
Would you cut your tongue
To forget what I’ve tasted
The vile blood, venomous and crucifying
IF YOU WERE TO SAY SORRY
THE LAND OF THE DARK MEMORIES... – by j-p-n | added by joshuan.20683

The Cavehill
Here I am sipping a pink grapefruit and green coffee Vital drink on ice. I’m sitting in The Cat Garden in the grounds of Belfast Castle within The Cavehill Country Park in North Belfast. The sun is hot on my skin so I am glad of the... – by Kimberley Hamilton | added by Blossoming
