In Perpetuity: John Oross

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I live a modest life,yet I can craft a fantasy.Caught within perceptions embrace,turned from my mirror, facing reality. I’ve opened my heart.encased many with my art, for free.I’d rather be poor; I’d rather be homeless.Than live a life born from lies.Little lies, lead to more.Anyways you twist themI’d rather simply continue to be me. Father, … Continue reading In Perpetuity: John Oross

Thief: Marjolaine Brodeur

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

     The thief inched along the sidewalk over to the fence’s gate.  After turning left and right to be assured that no one would interfere with the plans for the intended raid only to find that the gate’s door was too high to climb.  So, opting for Plan B, scooched under it instead as there … Continue reading Thief: Marjolaine Brodeur

Why the Subterfuge?: Marjolaine Brodeur

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Lately, I have noticed and watched many of the remakes of the Agatha Christie novels and found them unsatisfactory.  In some, they have included Miss Marple where she was never a part of the novels.  Why this desecration of a story (or two) who were capable of the test of time to succeed without Miss … Continue reading Why the Subterfuge?: Marjolaine Brodeur

Force: Robert St. Germain

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

People will try to force change on others.Although, you can’t help people by killing them.Most of us never change anyways.And some people pretend to.The best you can do is let people be who they are.You can be the bully, but it won’t change anyone.Forcing someone will just push them further away.Then you will lose them … Continue reading Force: Robert St. Germain

A Dream: Robert St. Germain

08/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

It’s time to reach for a dream. It may work out or so it seems. Now is time to believe. And maybe I will feel relieved. Now I can feel better about myself. I see the road ahead to better mental health. Even if it doesn’t work out as I planned. I can give myself a hand. All I can do is give … Continue reading A Dream: Robert St. Germain

Microchip: Robert St. Germain

08/17/202408/17/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Soon everyone will have a microchip in their brain.If you want to buy something all you have to do is think about it.And it will appear at your front door.You will talk to you friends in your thoughts.You will have access to the whole world in your mind,but, beware.The police will be able to track … Continue reading Microchip: Robert St. Germain

A Bug’s Life: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Six feet under us, centipedes, are sucking on your clavicle; while flies, scheme, on the walls of your coffin.They both, take dignified delight in the devouring of your bag of bones.The smell of your dried blood, and rotten flesh, fills the fly’s nostrils, and arouses the colonized ants, and arachnids.The spiders, that have spun their … Continue reading A Bug’s Life: Brittney Fox

Anorexia: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Anorexia, is a savage succubus that takes the shape of a withering shadow.It slithers, through broken mirrors; and stays smitten as you disappear.It keeps parts of you, as a selfish souvenir.And, places you in the passenger seat, as it happily steers.It kisses you, ever so passionately, as it cheers you on, your dance around your … Continue reading Anorexia: Brittney Fox

Closer: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I can’t tell you how many times, I’ve said I wish, and I wanted to.Whether, that be to take back my words, when I couldn’t pull a promise through;or, when I think back to the times, I didn’t take to honour you.My heavy heart, is stuck singing the blues;knowing, now, that this world is without … Continue reading Closer: Brittney Fox

Edge of Glory: Brittney Fox

06/28/202406/27/2024 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

And, so we frolicked through the dying daffodils, in an obscured frenzy to revive our placidity.With what we sought of to be, long lasting love; but, it lingered only long enough, for us to get a tender taste of its tranquility.The snapdragons, could sense the vacancy in our voices, as we spoke above the song … Continue reading Edge of Glory: Brittney Fox
