Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Christian: 4 of 296
What God are You- that brushes surrealistic art across my sky?Who is it that blends the colours on the palette?Impostors have tried, throughout the ages, to copy your horizons and presentThem to the world as their own . . .but to no avail.No one can place prismatic sparks of light - so exquisitely.No one adds that special bur...

THE GOLDEN LOCKETI heard a flutter and looked to my window to see what the noise could be.It was a warm spring day, the kind you see on TV where two people run across a fieldand meet joyfully as if parted by a cruel villain for years. Perched on my sill was a bird with a golden locket and chain. I gently removed the locket f... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Living fully: 5 of 53
Where am I?What is this land I see - where the dimensions fade and the winds blend with the sea as if inseparable through time eternal?Where the senses - not dulled, but so alive as to fight for attention, weave in and out of each other like finely spun silk.Where the celebrations of Life quietly go on so unassuming, its exis...

If I were a sculptress, I would have but one dream;To capture this moment and set into clay the oneness of our bodies.Then the world would truly know and see what perfection harmony is.For I used to sit in the window looking, searching . . . "Where are you? I need you!"Then one day as I looked up from scanning the distance - ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Why Bin Laden has not yet been captured: 6 of 23
There is more than meets the eye.
