A Thing To Overcome
When I climb to the top of my life
And I feel I'm right back there on that summit
Where I can look down and feel glad about it all
Even love is there, mingling within the crowd
As I sit here happy on my cloud
But oh look here it comes
A spanner in the works.
And the landslide occurs.
Throws me right back down the climb.
As I land I look up.
Love has begun to hurt.
It's not a bad thing but a thing to overcome I say
So I stand up, smile and kiss her goodbye
And begin to climb once again.

Poetry: Challenges of love
by Alec Machet
Scared To Say
One more day passes slowly
And another hour dies
I rest my head in my hands
And wait
Time stops
And I wonder why
I'm
As the sun slowly sets, I face another cold and lonely night
He gets all slicked up, out the door he goes and soon his truck
by JCW
He was dangerous
Like a loose cannon
Says he's going to get on his feet
but I never saw him standin'
He spills viscous words
by Polana Fehu
Love is the rain.
A light haze settling on tropical skin,
Gently soaking through clothing
Leaving a clammy,
Hot aftermath.
Love
THE GREAT PRETENDER
Tonight I must pretend you don't matter.
Tonight I must momentarily dismiss all these torturous thoughts
