Poem

POEM-Finishing Up a Few...

PASSAGES IMMORTAL Was it a dream now lost that in the dimning light of a tangled forest deep I walked alone and veiled, upon a shadowed road obscured, serpentine, bleak. Preternaturally, in silence mystic my weary steps strove onward toward a luminescence bright; though it seemed the path remained... Sign in to see full entry.

POEM

POEM

DROPLET I am the last tear to fall, a wandering rivulet, the stain on your cheek, streaming a path, borne from the depth of the core of your being; emotions released, the essence of love, hate and fear; memories of life rewound or visions at warp speed ahead; to be, or not...
