Lots of Love: Gautam Bharath

06/12/2019 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Obviously it has been long, Duh, I've survived in some way; But it still hurts - and borders insanity, thinking of you every night and day. Much like love, it is better to have, and not need - this I swear is true, nothing exists here now, other than emptiness and my thoughts of you. … Continue reading Lots of Love: Gautam Bharath

05/11/2019 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Oh let the odes to Spring begin! Let them be breathed in rhyme. Let them be breathed in song Oh so long.

Alleycat: Robert St. Germain

05/11/2019 ~ kaleidoscopeonline

Alleycat in the city, no master to protect you. Every day is a battle to survive You spend your hours looking for a scrap to eat. You fight other cats for territory. It is amazing how you endure each winter, And the summer still finds you still alive. You are the master of living on … Continue reading Alleycat: Robert St. Germain

Velvet deep I creep inside … Continue reading Earth Star: Randy James Hoffman

Seven Sacred Teachings: Peter Herget
