    For now. by Cynthia Lund T...

    The ransom was paid.
    I would guess it got some style
    points with its hand-off,
    although that’s really just a sense
    on my part, given it’s been
    all my part and there still
    has been no word or
    sig…

    you are the dream by uncleblack

    we never stopped once
    to consider the road,
    or the chosen scent
    of the chosen rose.

    we just loved how our feet walked
    and how it pleasured our nose.

    we never once stopped
    and thought of the sound,
    our foot…

    Vacant by Justin Karfs

    I am
    vacant, some being fills my space in spacetime
    Technically, I am here. But really
    I am not. I am, an observer.
    I am absent from the trivialities of human existence
    A mere watcher of the suffering and…

    EMBRACE. ( written by friends of mine.) by TaylorJordan

    I’ve heard of couples fizzling out after a few years or even less.
    I’m here to say this will never happen to us because so little tears
    we’ve been together, believe it or not, now for 52 years.

    trickle by hollyann

    just a little thread
    of water
    down the side
    of a cup
    of a tree trunk

    trickle

    how the time
    ticks sometimes lonely
    sometimes only
    second to second
    a world apart

    trickle

    as honey runs
    sweet
    insipid
    and slow
    just e…

    late hour owl by uncleblack

    in the most silent way,
    how he passes his time,
    gradual light graces his fronds,
    smears across late day hues,
    in an exquisite dance,
    whispers through the tines.

    the hill is bored endless by rabbit,
    my cush…

    I were so very patient by TheBrit

    I were so very patient as

    i slowely ran my toes along

    your bottom

    then your hip,

    slowely tickling

    you along your thigh

    across your knee

    then your calf

    you felt like a second skin

    i knew from these inti…

    to fondle a saint by Kirstine Dieck...

    Do not fool yourself
    to think
    you have fondled
    a saint
    You have merely
    touched your lips
    upon
    a burden.

  • Linc Brown

    Hope by Linc Brown

    One glimmer of hope,
    In every desperate situation,
    A silver lining, in every dark cloud.
    Why do we only need a candle,
    In a vast darkness,
    But refuse to believe that hope keeps us alive?
    We must always be…

    As the Horny Horns Played On by DarKarsean

    The Horny Horns played funkadelic as the sound of
    trombone, sax and trumpet rent the air
    There within the music, minds travelled
    to where beats of soul echoed through the psyche

    Always in the groove giv…

    all at sea by uncleblack

    darkness sits in hot idleness
    across my half sleeping form,
    in unseasonal warmth,
    the night noises enter
    each open window.

    you had to leave,
    and in these days inbetween,
    my second brain
    does not see or hear…
