Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Yearning: 6 of 56

Wine bottle full of my heart and my soul, Indulge in a glass filled up to the rim Intoxicant nectar comes from within, Sip...oh-so-slowly...and let yourself go, Heaven-sent wine of inebriant sin. Fruit of the spirit that's part of the whole Beauty is found in the eyes that behold Savor the taste of what's under the skin. Age...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Fear: 39 of 283

Dark delirium drowning in a dream, Erratic heartbeat thumping in my chest, Invented feelings...make-believe distress, Muscles strain to contain a silent scream. Fighting a battle never to be won, Insomnia riddles my restless mind, Searching for answers that I cannot find, Subconscious struggle to *not* come undone. Complex h...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Pay day: 5 of 27

Spinning my wheels Chasing my tail, Banging my head against a wall, I've beaten this dead horse half to death, Been robbing Peter to try and pay Paul, Paycheck to paycheck And meal to meal, Dollar to dollar And day to day Getting by, by the skin of my teeth Until my grill is worn away Gloom, despair and agony This life ain't...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Medication: 4 of 18

Ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure, Fictional relief for counterfeit pain Residual high is all that remains Pharmacologic symptoms to endure Lost in a haze of deep Xanax dreams, Vicodin maze of narcotic delights Stuporous days that blend into nights Altered perception is not what it seems, Milligram nation raised on T...

1st verse We keep fighting back these feelings Trying to be blind Overlooking what we see Afraid of what we'll find. We've been the best of friends now.... For such a long long time One of these days we're gonna realize Then somewhere down the line Chorus One of these days we're gonna wake up and see One of these days we're ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Friendship: 74 of 273

Measuring friendship defies all the means We normally use for measuring things Rulers and yardsticks, minutes, miles and years Cannot do justice to friends we hold dear Willingness always to lend us an ear Light to guide us through darkness and fear Long nights of laughter that last until dawn Courageous enough to help us al...
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: Falling in love: 27 of 98

Setting myself up for Another fall from grace. Never learning anything From all of my mistakes I let you get too close now I cannot erase The mark that's on my heart, Or the smile that's on my face. You make it so easy So easy to fall. So easy to pick up the phone And make a midnight call You make it so easy So easy to see F...
Pets & Animals > Dog Care & Health How to keep your dogs occupied and happy: 3 of 10

According to Humane Society stats, 39% of American households own at least one dog. About 25% own at least two. Our dogs are coiffed, dipped, groomed and spoiled. We buy them Christmas stockings and Halloween costumes and take them on vacation with us. Their needs reflect many of our own. Maybe that's how we became best frie...

Style & Beauty > Shoes The pitfalls of high heels: 2 of 6

High heels are super sexy, physically flattering and come in all shapes, sizes, colors and textures. Boots, pumps and even flip flops can all be purchased with high heels. However, they are not meant as everyday foot wear. When I was younger, high heels were reserved for special occasions. Weddings, graduations and Christmas...
