All my lifeI’ve been homeless and alone, without a love of my own.What I have given away, trying to get her to look my way.There she is.She came from afar, left my heart and soul ajar.Then she walked away, touring about our world. I’ve kept her in my heart.Yes, right from the start. Gimme, gimme, … Continue reading Gimme my Hot Cup of Tea: John Oross

A Feverish Grin: James Adamson
To the Glory of GodTo Gwyneth, with Love Saved by a child cold and alone on the railroads tracksOr maybe I heard wrongIt’s probably because of Poulin ExterminatorsA hive of activity deep in the funk of existenceOr on my skinCaptured by a prejudice pure and simpleThe contempt of mothers waiting to drop another shoeCrying our … Continue reading A Feverish Grin: James Adamson
Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
You act as if you’re so dignified,looking down, on the common fool,So serious, in everything you do.But, comedy is important too.Laughter heals, and sometimes reveals,the truth, you think you’re so much above,everyone, but you can’t see, our common needs unite us;and, in them, we are one.Sometimes, we bow our heads,while you hold yours up high,you … Continue reading Dignified: Cassandra Kulay
Puppets: Robert St. Germain
We all have someone to answer to.And someone to tell us what to do.Some of us realize, well many never knew.The church and the government are part of the system that keeps us down.When I see people enslaved it makes my frown.We are all put in packages to make us comply.And most of us will … Continue reading Puppets: Robert St. Germain
Nirvana: Brittney Fox
I think of my experience here, as a pile of rotating organisms on this planet.And I think of my own expiry.When it becomes the exact time for my extinction.My distinct, estimated time of arrival to Elsewhere.Where you simply fall out of your skin and suddenly exist amongst euphoric bliss;Leaving behind only your ashes and currency.I … Continue reading Nirvana: Brittney Fox
On Time: Cassandra Kulay
Time has a rhythm,like breathing, rising and falling.Special occasions calling.Diamond encrusted moments,embedded into our memory.Slow to come and fast evaporating. We’re all just getting through the day, somehow.Until days turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into seasons.Searching for the meaning,Finding new reasons to be.Inventing a narrative for ourselves that pushes us forward,or takes us … Continue reading On Time: Cassandra Kulay
Consciousness: Cassandra Kulay
Dreams cut a swath through my consciousness.Living in relief of my thoughts, my obsessions, and my fragile impressions.Love blooms like a cactus in the desert.Prickly but soft in the center.Those nightmares that stop my soul in its tracks.Left so exposed to the highs and lows.The heat and the cold.The paralysis induced by paranoia.A vision unfolds … Continue reading Consciousness: Cassandra Kulay
Flowers: Daniel Caneda
You can feel it in your soulIn your heart…The minute that you knowWhen somebody departs… You then express it through the musicAnd the artGive them their flowersYou should have known from the startThat (flowers)Are grown through the rain and sunshineWe need both even though when it comes timeTo heal, we tend to overlook the rainy … Continue reading Flowers: Daniel Caneda
What’s Done: James Adamson
To the Glory of GodTo Gwyneth, with Love Children these daysThere is always a layer of snow on the fenceAnd icicles hanging in reachBut it can only happen once, then wait for the next snowfallA cut arm, what, sutures?What gauze and a bandage?Sanitizer and painkillers?I watched the sun set out my living room window yesterdayI … Continue reading What’s Done: James Adamson
This Is My Life: John Oross
To live life as a dream,is to live life to the fullest.To create what you can conceiveand to manifest art, then to let it go. To give what you can dream,is to give away your life and soul.To act upon your dreams,and to encase the world with love. This is my life.I’m a blazing start.I’ve … Continue reading This Is My Life: John Oross
