The world of calm, tranquil and beauty turns chaotic cold and careless as I turn the pages of my youth to middle age, to old age. To reflect, as to gaze longingly At the shadowy images that come Crawling back to me from my past It haunts me to insanity I dare not question lest … Continue reading The Color Blue: Darryl Peacock

Fragmented: Hanna Friesen
There is truth a piece - a nugget that you share with me and away it goes into the schizms of my mind as I receive noddingly what you're saying... but because there is no connection between these schizms- as they are bolts of lightening - shooting around my pattered mind- the meaning is lost … Continue reading Fragmented: Hanna Friesen
Silence of a Still Day: James Adamson
Silence of a still day though the grass and trees sway in the air. Belonging to a power that encircles with your hug. Pressing for reasons that elude the captive audience of strangers that know the future but condemned me years ago Circling my life in a slow outward spiral like in a maze started … Continue reading Silence of a Still Day: James Adamson
Sunday Morning Twenty-Eleven: Kelvin Iris
It is Sunday morning twenty-eleven.

The Mask I Wear: Stephen Sigurdson
Emotions are there, they affect us in every way, as we become adults, many of us hide them with a mask, deep, submerged, in our soul they stay. I have a productive and friendly mask, to show you I am successful, that I am alright, I need reassurance from others when I accomplish my task, … Continue reading The Mask I Wear: Stephen Sigurdson
My Efforts Will Be Rewarded: Stephen Sigurdson
Weakness, vulnerable to circumstance, a trap door, mazes of my own mind’s design, puzzles with missing pieces, incomplete, games with no winners, every option seems like defeat, waking up just to repeat. My pain is deep down into my soul’s pit, I am hiding deep within, entrenched, with a masked heart, my storage is overflowing. … Continue reading My Efforts Will Be Rewarded: Stephen Sigurdson
