Flexin’: Tomorrow & Beyond We’re Flexin’ the concept of time. We are in constant streams of reflection. We reflect upon the past, the “old road” and where we have been. Usually when we reflect upon those old roads we come across “new roads”, the roads we think and hope we should be on; the road where we collide with our destiny and vision the world around us. We imagine...

  “Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.” ~ Oscar Wilde   As we write, we express and as we express we teach. Not everyone out there understands the heart of a poet or even breathes the same air but I believe a passion is felt even when the definition of feeling is not understood. I was reading an older poem by one of our members...

INCREDIBILITY Those “Ready” Feelings    “Never be sad for what is over, just be glad that is was once yours.”  “Relationships are like glass.  Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.”              I still remember those first feelings of being in love.  The moment captures you and all you can think about is that special someone.  But I also remember...

Your Vessel     Your vessel..  I want to sculpt with my hands….  Stimulate you with a graceful flourishing of amber  inside the veil of your over whelming….  Gently press against your love wall  and drag the garden out of you..  while I glory in the blossoming  of your brown snow  Dim the lights of your eyelids  and fall deep into your shadow  We blind fold the clock, so he may lose track of time and know how it is to feel lost  inside the portal of love  © 2012 Orlando Murcia

Abandoned Tracks on Lasher Road Hidden in the weeds, red rusted rails Stretch through the summer woods like any track. They draw me on around the bend past limits Posted by authorities to find the Elderberry trees and mullein plants as Tall as me. Inner devae hold their Power in waste spaces, tucked away from Observation, roads, and traffic lights. I Barely hear the highway and lie down on Grassy spots with leaf green spirits. If I Journey on this Unknown Trail across Forgotten land, I’m taken out of...

  Insominia I find a brief moment’s peace inside these insomniatic day dreams. With dry eyes, …and a lethargic conscience; I wander through this fable that I’m told is reality. Hindsight isn’t quite 20/20, and I’m here …squandering the …relativity of time. Reaping no benefit as I toggle between mind numbing exhaustion and over active mental techathalon strides. Blurred forms, and silent cries. I hold the end of this rope with vagrant humility; and merciless appraisal. Am I to let go? I can’t stay here; Hanging between life and...
