ALF's lightening round entry.

SNAPSHOT OF MY MIND At the moment of my awareness I found myself at the beginning Of a long and winding path, Unable to speak…or walk, Or feed myself. I quickly began bounding up The steps of my mental ascension Sometimes taking two steps at a time, Sometimes only one. Sometimes I Would sit and rest... Sign in to see full entry.

Alf's 2nd entry for round three.

A GOOD DEATH He is fallen. Cut down by his wounds…finally. Around him, soaking his garments Runs the blood of his own life. It pours into the ground, Fleeing from him like So many rats from a sinking ship. He watches as it darkens the earth. Awareness comes to him that These are the last moments He...

Alf's 1st poem submission for round three

A bit of a departure from my normal poetry, submitted for your pleasure. ~ A KISS ~ Breathing deeply of her scent, I linger there. On the nape of her neck, Where skin meets hair. My lips tremble As they surround her flesh. I taste of her passion, Our spirits mesh. My heartbeat increases As I savor... Sign in to see full entry.

Alf's 3rd entry for round two....

Wayward Passion I alone am the caretaker Of my wayward passions. No one but I. When security and sanity give way To forgotten dalliances And my spirit Soars higher than the moon, ‘Tis then I rely on intellect, On reason, on logic, To save me from ruin. Passions judgment is dubious at best. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Alf's 2nd entry, round two

The Final Valley The hospital bed was her final valley, She would discover high ground no more. Too weak to speak, she could only blink, While my tears spotted the floor. Holding her hand, our eyes met, This noble woman and I. We said so much without speaking a word, But we couldn’t say goodbye.... Sign in to see full entry.

Alf's new entry for round two.

TIME The silent passing of one moment to the next, Thus is the nature of time. We pass continually from the present, Into the unknown, Leaving everything we know Behind. Time has no mass, nor substance, Rather it is a fabrication of man. Merely a tool with which to measure The duration of our lives.... Sign in to see full entry.

Midnight on my quiet shore

‘Tis midnight now on my quiet shore, All is calm and still. Yet far away in a distant port, The cry of death is loud and shrill. Obliteration so complete, More than my human heart can fathom. The cries of loved ones still alive, Heard through the night like restless phantoms. A shudder, in the midst... Sign in to see full entry.

The Old Man

The Old Man The old man in the restaurant there, Drinking coffee all alone. Look at his eyes, his skin, his hair, It was not always so. He was young once like you and me. Owning mirth, joy, and desire. Now his passion has come and gone, He trudges lonely through the mire. Imagine all he’s seen and... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS DAY? (actually more like a limerick)

This day? What if I should die this day? It would not a bother be. From the East the sun would rise again, Just as the tide…in yonder sea. Though if I were to die this day, Would life have been well spent? Would family, friends, and people weep, Wishin that I had not went? I’m not a perfect man,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Vikings Love

A Vikings Love Go to the waters edge fair maiden, Do kneel gracefully there. Thrust your hand into the brine, The salt, we two shall share. Far and away I am this night, Look high up to the heavens. You see the North Star shining bright? We look upon it together. Though battle weary, scared and... Sign in to see full entry.
