The Rhythms of War ...
Our leaders tell us war can be avoided,
but the past says different,
these leaders say wisdom will guide trembling hands, but where was this guidance previously?
hovering over the nuclear switch,
While the weight of our history presses heavy against the future,
a script we've read before,
tattered and frayed at the edges, blood-stained in the middle,
lives lost without pause.
These mighty Empires begin to fall and decline not with dignity,
but with the echoes and shouts of the desperate,
As they clutch at the last fragments of their...

God's children
Ben vindo
To a beautiful day
Let's not waste that day
By sleep in
If we sleep in we will
Not sleep at night
So we must enjoy this day
That our father gave to us
Here on earth
yes we are having the Summer
Here on earth
that our father create for us
With his holy hands
Also We took a look in the sky
And there was no sign of rain
We don't like the rain at all
Because when it is raining
There is lighting and thunder
The noise of lightning and thunder
Wake
us up when we are...

Secrets - Haunted
I sleep badly, coming to often in the dark to the sound of banging pipes behind the walls and the night wind. Your mum's words to me at the house on Headersleigh Bridge replay each time I drift off, disturbing me again. You know perfectly well why the police came to see us, Alan. They had news for us. I wander over to the sink for a glass of water and switch on the television, leaving the volume on silent to avoid disturbing Robert. I sit wrapped in an old jacket, shivering. I wish Lana were here. I'm too tired to sleep, too tired to concentrate. I feel old.
I drift off again....
I drift off again....

A Thousand Years From Forever III
An Aqua Palace Fit For Royal
Waterloo Grand Palace The Stairway To Paradise
Allow me to close my eyes and just dine in the liberties of mind
Sit down, relax, I need to softly inhale, exhale, and can I include you in my whoosh moment as you become intoxicated in my cascade of spherical sublime
Once upon a long time ago
There was a beautiful Queen, who has divine powers as she astral traveled through portals to and fro
On her many sacred adventures she became smitten by many Kings
Some loved her for her...

Ringside
Tracy takes me to Ringside Steakhouse the day before my birthday
We get our entrees at 9:30 PM.
I've flown from Phoenix to Portland
Spent Thanksgiving with my sister
Then taken the train to Tacoma to visit old friends
By the time a bus gets me back to Portland, it's late and I'm not very hungry
I haven't seen Tracy in 14 years
and it's only the second time seeing him in almost twenty
He's not on social media, so I didn't know how to age him in my mind
I never thought of him as fat,
but he's lost something like 50 pounds

The Artist
Another Short Horror Story
“The Artist”
by
RCRayJr
The blade lacerated her throat
and blood pours out..
The scream ends in a saturated gargle. Her brown eyes rolled back in her head. Breath leaving her I clinched her blonde hair from behind.
Her weight in my arms under the starlight.
The smell of alcohol and tobacco permeates the damp, cold air.
Into the shadows she’s dragged.
When in the place I chose, I threw her body to the ground. I crouched over her in the blackness of the night. Concealed by dense vegetation behind a...

I miss you one day i am gone.
I loose out of you!
I feel, I cannot go on.
Something is missing.
Something is haunting my soul.
I see how you put the light.
On the places I could see dark.
I see you put the letters.
On the parts I cannot distinguish my name.
You are the ocean!
The one i would get lost!
Playing with water,
And see the veins in my fingers from the long hours.
I see how i get it back.
I feel it, I want to live.
I feel my days are not enough,
To have you all.
I see, I want it!
To feel you...
I loose out of you!
I feel, I cannot go on.
Something is missing.
Something is haunting my soul.
I see how you put the light.
On the places I could see dark.
I see you put the letters.
On the parts I cannot distinguish my name.
You are the ocean!
The one i would get lost!
Playing with water,
And see the veins in my fingers from the long hours.
I see how i get it back.
I feel it, I want to live.
I feel my days are not enough,
To have you all.
I see, I want it!
To feel you...
