Never More

by Bencity

Isn’t it amazing,
That a burgeoning rose,
Or a magical sunset
Or a sweet song’s tune,
Or a full moon’s splendor –
Just the thought of sheer beauty:
Takes each of use –
With the certainty of a compass –
To just one...

When Shadows Fall

by Stay-See

When dark shadows fall around me
When the day turns into night
I am safe within His keeping
For He draws me to His side.

Ever faithful through the fury
Through the fire and through the flood
I am trusting as He guides...

To high and heavenly places,
And oh, my dear!
How hard we fell.

The Red Wheelbarrow

Back at it

by Ryan NKP

It arrived in pain, It never asked me for permission
Every scar became a sentence, every failure a page,
I stopped chasing applause and chased purpose instead.
The person I wanted to become was waiting behind the one I had to...

Her Joy

by Zoya Snawer

They ran around as they chuckle

that way," he says.

"If you didn't say that,

I didn't mean to."

Look—
I hit you,
but you just made
me so...

The Giving Tree

by Shel Silverstein

Once there was a tree....
and she loved a little boy.
And everyday the boy would come
and he would gather her leaves
and make them into crowns
and play king of the forest.
He would climb up her trunk
and swing from her...

Planted Memories

by Ryan NKP

There are memories I planted
deep enough to forget,
but they sprout anyway,
breaking through the soil of silence.
Some grow thorns,
some bloom softly,
some rise like weeds
I wish I never watered.
But all of them...

No Drama Without Love

by Bencity

She said she loved him
Just here for the drama
He hurriedly replied
No drama without love, said she
Have no time for one, said he
Like you and I, said she
The two together twine
Or like old age and wine
Do love and...

by Christopher Marlowe

Come live with me, and be my love;
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.

And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By...

Phoenix

by Pete

Like a hunter pursuing a mystical beast of yore
thus i pursued thy heart
to the ends of the earth
unyielding my resolve.

But unlike the Phoenix
our love shall never rise from the ashes
for it never was
and never...
