Life, Choice

All Created equal, but are some more equal than others? Will you fight to preserve my rights, or only for my brother's? Life or death or liberty, should it not be my choice? Yet you demand to choose for me and silence my small voice. One heartbeat, One breath, One blink, Then death. All Created... Sign in to see full entry.

Final Lullaby

Darkness, despair, depression deep, Fearing the reaper, afraid to sleep, Hush, sweet baby, close your eyes, Hearken not to the serpent's lies, But trust the LORD your soul to keep, What GOD hath sown, no devil can reap, Be not alarmed, why your surprise? Before the rose, the seed first dies, You'll... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ghost That Never Was

The child that should have been, but never came to be, The child that took to its grave the innocence in me, I hear a voice crying in a haunting plea for help, And though I reach out toward the voice, I'm left all by myself, They say I have no legal rights, they say I have no choice, So if she...

Fairest Maiden

Silver and gold and diamonds and rubies, Of such are the treasures of earth, Their glitter likens not to the gleam of thine eyes, Nor their luster to the radiance of thy face, Bread and wine doth a body require, for upon this earth while being, But neither can quench the burning desire, which your...

Regret

He sits in silence, wanting to speak, but reluctant to bare his soul, Afraid to reveal the skeletons that lurk within, The darkness he's fought so hard to conceal has surfaced, revealed, in a deluge of repressed emotion, And now he yearns to recapture the black, murky waters, To somehow rebuild the...

Evolution

I am not the boy you met that summer day, And you are not the girl who took my breath away, I am not the boy who asked you for your hand, And you are not the girl who took my wedding band, I am not the boy that I used to be, And you are not the girl who meant so much to me, But do you love the man...

Two Poets on a Porch

Two poets on a porch, a meeting of minds, A communion of sorts, what will they find? One thought between them, but branching twain, Two pens, two poems, They sit again.

Precious Moments

A kiss, a caress, a warm embrace, Stolen as little eyes are turned away, Far too brief and far too rare, But precious are these moments we share, A shuffle, a thump, A giggle, she's up, Then quickly she races to Mommy and me, For a precious moment shared by three. For Julie & Shannon © 2006,... Sign in to see full entry.

Checkmate

Like mental gods they sit, contemplating the board before each move, One by one, turn by turn, they stike their blows and claim each step toward victory, Until, ultimately, a once-omnicient eye is momentarily clouded, And a titan falls. © 2006, Godflower Publishing Co., All Rights Reserved.

The Poet's Pen

Hello, old friend, It's been far too long Since we've felt the magic of the collaborator's song, But just as if we'd never parted, We pick up where we once had started, And as my spirit breathes life into your body, You bleed upon the page, And with the breath of a long-forgotten spell, It sings. ©...
