I will believe in my convenient fall, / to mind my religious belonging / to your blessed body / full of courageous lies. / / I contained my songs / built upon your fearsome curves, / i endear this gird / that affected me in behalf of you. / / I brighten my flaws / that bred my deafness, / I date my ownself…  sign in to read more »


»Before the Day«

by Deon Thomas, Apr 9, 2009

When I woke up this morning, as peer across the room I see the sun as it bounces off of the wall. I sat up in bed and I wiped the sleep out of my eyes. I got out of bed and had a big stretch. I slowly walked to the bath room and washed my face. Then the aroma of bacon, eggs and toast drew me to the…  sign in to read more »

The feeling of a little girls / hands in mine, / the light in a womans eyes / over a glass of wine, / take me back a long, long time / when you were mine. / / Melodys over a jukebox in / a little Cafe; / A kiss from a beautiful woman's lips / so warm at the late of day, / could not take that feeling away…  sign in to read more »
