1. Writing Of The week

Nature’s Theme by JRGarland

Passions run deep along a river bed
Sprinkling notions of a lover’s quest
While washing the pebbles smooth
Splashing wildly along the boulders
As it races down and dumps off cliffs
Into a quieted pool of calmed emotions
Relax on the shores as you gaze upon the beauty
Where deer and butterflies play together
And drink the cooled still waters in peace
Listen to the birds sing as they laugh joyfully
Flying through the air onto the branches of trees
Delighting in the warmth of the sun
And the enchantments of the surrounding scene
All these things are made to delight your soul
And bring comfort to your troubled mind
That life may bring forth its wondrous appeal
To the very depth of your tender heart
Rest peacefully and be free to come and stay
For all of eternity ripened and fresh

So Far Away by oscarelizondo

Oceans and seas are so far away as I must travel to set eyes on your face,
I have lost contact from your heart when you left and left me not a single trace.
My hands will be my oars that paddle on ocean currents because I am alone,
Alone, since the day you vanished from me while I starve from love to the bone.

With me I shall take the only gift by which I can afford and deliver it to your hands,
I might not be as rich as the man that stole you from me when I could not meet demands.
Do not doubt my strength from my arms that will hold you in them forever more,
More because I love you more than he and will show you within my heart’s core.

With no gold to buy a boat I have cut the tallest and strongest trees to build a ship,
Because your beautiful heart will see my riches that I built in order to kiss your lips.
Honey to match your sweetness have I harvest from my own bees and you shall taste,
Taste the richness that blossoms from flowers eaten by them that you can not waste.

On this journey I shall not sleep so that I can find you before the moon is full,
Please light a candle so that I can forgive you and find your heart before it goes dull.
I must now put down my pencil so that I can paddle on sea waters that I must cross,
Cross until I reach your arms and hold you with my love of heart and come back across.

MY ROCK by jainiemac

He’s the steady hand , who guides me

whipes away my tears

the one who listens , objectively

as I pour out my fears

his gentle touch on my hand

never fails to reassure

and I know I can face

life’s hurdles ,twists

and tragedies

with him always near.

1. 3rd Runner-Up

Everyone needs their fifteen minutes by Rocky Loder

I lay here,
observing the harvest moon,
as it accepts the autumn night,
full of aches,pains,sorrows,
regrets,
I watch, ashamed,
as the boredom of the
rich and famous,
invades my northern nightmares,
wreaking havoc upon the innocence
of those imprisoned by dreams of greed,
entombed by the freedom
of insanity,
I scream into the depths of the night,
as black widows,
and leopard skins,
toy with my mind,
I close the blinds,
for how can I watch,
the rest of my life,
hug tomorrow,
regretfully,
leaving the memories
of yesterday behind.
