Wounded
wounded soles walked on gravel A path chosen on her own robbed of dignity juked of power- She cared not for voices that followed -just made a run for infinity It could be a pipe dream yet she knows she is changing for better… https://dversepoets.com/2021/07/12/quadrille-131-with-brian-miller/

The Dream Within a Dream
Dream within a dream’ ….by Atomic Mage
If in my dreams I may perceive myself to be
One who walks among gods and angels,
Or flies as free as the owl between midnight trees,
Or that I dine at the tables of the wealthy and elite,
That I love with all my heart famous kings and queens –
Then can it be true to say I have experienced all this
In an essence, as though I were fully awake?
And what if, when I awake, I suddenly understand
That the reality I inhabit is one where I stand
Among devils and thieves, that I am incarcerated
Like the canary in a cage against my will;

It’s a Frog’s Life
It’s a frog’s life,…… By Artie & Stu
The rooster says it’s 7 a.m. and I don’t care;
I’m just a happy frog looking at frog photos in my frog photo book, I don’t care;
the alarm was set for 4:48 a.m. says the rooster, as if I cared;
look at that frog on a VW camper van, I’m going to get one and I don’t care if that rooster says I’m a hippy, because I’m hoppy happy!

Self-righteousness and undying loyalty could not resurrect him. Little did he know he’s a tool used by his mother to usurp power. The matriarch set a rule, everyone had to obey her first-born son. She made sure that he obeyed no one but her, and wielded control through him. Little did the loyal soldier know … Continue reading Power
