A Sleepless Reverie by Rebecca Wason
'Won't you stay a little longer?'
Sighed the moon to the night sky.
We have barely started our talk
And I have a thousand things to say
Of life and poppycock.
'Oh, but it is forbidden',
Replied the night to the moon.
We have talked enough and dawn beckons
I must go now or else the world will awaken.
'Won't you stay a little longer?'
Sighed the moon to the night sky.
I dreamed thro' the day of stories and fancies
And I have to tell you of silver fields and flowering, white pansies.
'Oh, but it is forbidden',
Replied the night to the moon.
We have talked of your stories and fancies
But it's late now to go on about flowering, white pansies.
'Won't you stay a little longer?'
Sighed the moon to the night sky.
I have a thousand dew tears to weep
And I need you to numb the pain and make my dead heart leap.
'Oh, but it is forbidden',
Replied the night to the moon.
I have seen your dew tears and had my say
They don't grieve me and that's just my way.
'Won't you stay a little longer?'
Sighed the moon to the night sky.
I know you'll never be mine and I won't try to keep you
But let's simply play at make believe and drink together of love's brew.
'Oh, but it is forbidden',
Replied the night to the moon.
You know I'll never be yours and you should not try to keep me
I belong to the dawn and this reverie can never, ever be.

TRUST? No!, by Peter Borreggine
Forgiveth not, what comes thy way,
‘Tis but a speck, in the dawn of a day,
Thou must not begin to finally feel,
As if thy heart, is in a reel,Thou pain, is wrought, deep inside I fear,
For to giveth its wrath, is not what I hear,

FRAGMENTS, by Donna Greenberg
I forgot how you tasted
The day your ship left my shore,
Only the rage of the waves
Reminds me.I waited with arms wide-spread,
Legs tingling,
The imprint of your touch
Still longing…Even the strong wind
That tore my heart
From my skin... -

Lessons of Imperfections, by Laleeta Tongo
When I was a kid, all I wanted to do was to write, write and give speeches about.
But then I turned thirty, and I wrote nothing but text messages flirty, and my hidden urge was also turning out.I saw an ad in the newspaper...
