Me
I could.
I should.
I dream.
And write
in between.
I love.
I cry.
And reaching
sky high.
I feel.
I share.
This moment
with flair.

o palmyra
lonely sentinel
to know you
was to love you
your silken threads
were spiced with gold
we trade today in
hate twice sold
faith in the
Almighty's trust
and now you are but
dust to dust
As an architecture student it broke my heart to see ISIS destroy the Greco-Roman city of Palmyra which sat on the crossroads of the Silk Road for centuries! Cultural infantilism!

We wish we knew you Mr Brown
The lights glow dim in Poets Town
We stand beside Magnolia trees
And pray your soul is fancy free

I read your verse with teary eyes
And hope that I can be as wise
You were a gentle soul of song
The joy you brought is just as strong

I'm glad your verse you did not brave
Upon Magnolias to engrave
Your words of wit are safe with me
For Poets Town is your tree!

Unlike the old Magnolia tree
Poets Town is full of spree
She was a fool to lose your crown
But we'll always love you Mr. Brown!
RIP Mr Louis Brown. I'm new here and mean no disrespect to him, but simply trying to honor a very creative spirit!

haunting history
bittersweet memory
sensual delights
of corpus nights
tremulous whispers
emotional fissures
grazing touches
loving clutches
heartwarming embraces
heartbreaking retraces
My ex wanted desperately to get back together again for some bizarre reason! It brought back very mixed emotions but I'm glad I cut cleanly!

bashful lips
brazen nips
ever wanting

alluring eyes
sweet surprise
ever wanting

laconic smile
hearts beguile
ever wanting

souls entwine
love enshrined
ever ever wanting!

lightning strikes
thunder detonates
the rain soothes
