Doors and windows shut
We shiver
Waiting for sounds
Tensions are rising
Blood rushes to our foreheads
My legs are hurting
Scratches on our bedroom door
Intensifying
Getting up time
Our dogs time clock has spoken
(c)near_lane7
We adore our little Corgi

Leane
As pure as her complexion—
a tinge of ivory and heaven.
Her flaming wick and fire ardent,
how have they gone nowhere?

Radiating warmth in the darkest,
now an extinguished candle.
She begs to be rekindled,
afraid to die before her death.
This poem is dedicated for all the passion, interest and motivation lost during these trying times. For all the hopes and the fire that have been dampen down.

To the people reading this, I know some of you may have felt the same too. May we light up one another and rekindle the flame. Remember that: like candles, we are each other’s support system.

Try to tame my rhyme
To find more expression
free verse reads so well
Many writers have the possession
Would like to try
Will be reading more
Moreso in succession

Complexities these verses harbor
Climaxes achieved
Always makes me wonder
Of the depth of the seas

Weigh the unconscious
Movements and touch
Put into hibernation
There is liberty
A state I found such
Never want to wake
Keep doing
You Angles of Dreams

When a king went into exile
Someone rescued his soul
When the crowd came closing in
Freedom fighters
with survivals' goal
Stern rulers now must leave
The story of revolving
A cycle mankind weaves

Looking at my own head
A globe on a torso
Two ears are the poles
Two eyes the oceans
Flooding empathy's tears
Add many selfish looks
No answers expecting
Long nose the sniffer
distinguishes fears
While the mouth is the gobbler
will **** in all the pleasures
A foodies tastebuds at work

One has chosen to be in exile
Even when submerged
in a crowds game
Done to myself there is no shame
The feeling of exile
Within the whole of me
Suddenly my ear itches
It shuts me down
It throws me off
My irrational thinking
The buzz in my ear

A runaway

Not knowing who I am
Calling out
Do you feel me
You never heard my voices' sound
To whom do I put this forward
I really don't need to know
Fact is I feel and write
At this hour
I am literally alone
Just a scene late night

Selfish thoughts of failure
The moons face did grip my stare
Many times I look at it
It's calm illumination
Relieved anguish ignited hopes' flare
Really tough to be selfish
Myself just a speck of desire
There is no lack
Until a loved ones' worry
Releases me brings me close
Inform and explore
Appointments made
No explanations
Nuclear medicine
What are they looking for
She is anxious
Lets me feel it
Fear of enclosure four to five sixty
They say the procedure
Or test as you will

She asks me to drive her to stay until finished
'That's what I did for you
when you busted your leg'
She beggingly whispered
I did sense her fear
Moments of closeness release me
From my own selfs' sphere
