Which Way the Wind Blows: Robert St. Germain

07/31/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Which way the wind blows?Will it be fortune?Or will it be misfortune?Will we which our dreams?Or will we only scheme?Fate is a tricky thing.And it doesn’t always have luck to bring.It’s a roll of the dice to give it a try.And so often it’s hard to get by.And when it doesn’t work out it makes … Continue reading Which Way the Wind Blows: Robert St. Germain

Reach Out: Robert St. Germain

07/31/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Reach out for your dreams.Reach out for the prize.Don’t let the haters make you cry.Their just fools void of goals.Their stupidity will swallow them whole.Don’t let the bastards get in your way.Just block out all the shit they say.Let them not get in the way of your plan.Push them aside if you can.Don’t let their … Continue reading Reach Out: Robert St. Germain

The Karma Gods: Robert St. Germain

07/31/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The Karma Gods will crush you,If you screw around too much.What goes around, comes around.You can only push your luck so much,Until, it bites you in the ass.Fate cannot be avoided, for one day it will catch up to you.What’s done is done and can never be reversed.Watch what you do, for everything you do … Continue reading The Karma Gods: Robert St. Germain

A Haunted House: Robert St. Germain

06/21/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The mind can be a haunted house,Where the ghost of the past dwells.And in the basement there is a portal to hell.Waking nightmares never end.Long live the memories that they send.The path will tare our minds apart.The pressure will crush our beating hearts.It feels like death when it’s hard to live.And in the end something … Continue reading A Haunted House: Robert St. Germain

A Hand Around my Throat: Robert St. Germain

06/21/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

There is a hand around throat.It’s squeezing all the life-force out.I feel lethargic and I cannot move.How did I get into this negative groove?I’m chained to the floor and can’t get out.Will someone come to my rescue if I shout?The dominos fall one by one.Will I survive when everything is done.Can I run fast enough … Continue reading A Hand Around my Throat: Robert St. Germain

A Beautiful Darkness: Robert St. Germain

06/21/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

A beautiful darkness falls all around.So many sights and so many sounds.The crows are calling in the sky.I am so happy with no need to cry.Friends raise a toast to the night.There is no worry, and there is no fight.The summer wind is a lullaby.I know that somehow I will get by.The star will guide … Continue reading A Beautiful Darkness: Robert St. Germain

Throw It Up: Robert St. Germain

05/23/202505/23/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Throw it up and get the poison out.You don’t have to live with the pain and the doubt.You don’t have to keep the pain inside.You can find some courage and some pride.You don’t have to backtrack.So don’t give yourself a heart attack.The past is gone so far away.Tomorrow will be another day.It’s not a crime … Continue reading Throw It Up: Robert St. Germain

Our Pets: Robert St. Germain

05/23/202505/23/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

These are the free friends in our lives.They keep us company on our lonely nights.They love us unconditionally and they don’t care who we are.And their kindness can go so very far.They make us laugh with their funny ways.And they cheer us up on a cloudy day.It doesn’t matter what kind of animals they are.They … Continue reading Our Pets: Robert St. Germain

Cyber Fix: Robert St. Germain

05/23/202505/23/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

I now plug my mind into the main frame.I am escaping the real world.Into a fabricated universe.Here I can be anything that I choose to be.And I feel totally free.I never want to leave this place.Here I can be the hero or the villain.I spend all my savings to plug in.But it’s well worth it.I … Continue reading Cyber Fix: Robert St. Germain

The Gentle Breeze: Richard Edwards

04/18/2025 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

The gentle breeze,Plays across the water.It carries with it, the hopes and dreams.Of, the lovers, here, with their children.It is beautiful.The dream is carried, by the young at heart.And what we bring, to the young is a blessing.Love is what I offer, for the belief we are loved.Our hearts are pure.The dream we believe, when … Continue reading The Gentle Breeze: Richard Edwards
