Love Isn’t Poison: Robert St. Germain

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Love isn’t poison,It’s good for you.When it doesn’t work out you may feel a little blue.At least you can say you had some fun.It’s worth a try when it’s all said and done.Maybe down the road love will be found.And the wonderful love will turn you around.Love can bite you in the ass.Either way it’s … Continue reading Love Isn’t Poison: Robert St. Germain

Woman of the Woods: Robert St. Germain

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Woman of the woods, dancing by the fire.She chants as her soul rises higher.The moonlight gives her joy and power.She escapes this earth more every hour.Mother Nature in her blood.Her feet stomp on the dirt and mud.Her she is, the mistress of the night.Underneath the stars so bright.

Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Which way’s Heaven?Looks like time is lost.It took so much time, for my heart and soul to defrost.Wait, I’m still in need, for my mind to be flossed.I’ve been burning, every bridge, I’ve ever crossed.Will I be able to seek redemption, before my eyes are glossed?Before, my towel is tossed?Flip my sand dial;I want to … Continue reading Plain Jane: Brittney Fox

Somebody: Brittney Fox

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

There isn’t a bed of roses,in these four walls, that I’m living in.And, there isn’t a lock to pick on the door.Just, outside, there is the road to nowhere;it has its curves, and four way stops.There are out dated signs, leading to me.As well as, a broken bridge.Inside, there is somebody in the mirror, looking … Continue reading Somebody: Brittney Fox

Ennui: Cassandra Kulay

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The wind whips, through the still bare trees,and, I’m haunted, by a feeling of vague unease,not still winter, but, not yet spring,dark thoughts plague me, and, uncomfortable memories.Here, stands the facts of my life,unadorned, I am sad, I’m angry, I’m even bored;with comparing what was for what it has the potential to be.I guess, that’s … Continue reading Ennui: Cassandra Kulay

Baptism of a Transient: James Adamson

04/26/202404/25/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

To the glory of God,to Gwyneth with love. Where shadows break free of concreteBark on a winter tree tells talesPeople duck awayLove reaches its’ heights in a hand shakeSweat is like hair gelClothes never fitFamilies offer a closed fistFriends hang in suspenseStepping into church with pants around his hipsHaving to wonder about the intentions he … Continue reading Baptism of a Transient: James Adamson

Human: Brittney Fox

03/23/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

When we were granted the gravity to this Earth;and the nurturing of Mother Nature’s expression.We were handed a place, in the grand kaleidoscopefor our chance at an evolutionary, galactic experience.We were granted our shot to stand on this stage, at this time.With the blessing from the magic of mercury,we get to take a stand, on … Continue reading Human: Brittney Fox

Dignified: Cassandra Kulay

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

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

03/22/202403/21/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

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
