Cradling Whispers fingers glide gently slow, smooth a caress upon keys that transcend what music used to mean before I felt your touch a sound more symphonic than any that flows from the lips of God I am made holy in your presence but I truly become whole when your song repeats so sweet so … Continue reading Poems by Scott Thomas Outlar
The Untranslatable: Yuputka
By Thomas Page This is a series of poems of words that do not directly translate into English. I have tried to capture the essence of the word in a poem. Walking barefoot in a glen ruled by the moon When the equinox is closer than the solstice was far The ground is alive … Continue reading The Untranslatable: Yuputka
Peps
By Marc Carver People never disappoint you I don't know why now after all this time it upsets me the way it does you know what they will do before even they do it. Perhaps my thoughts make them do it but I don't think so it is their nature that is what makes … Continue reading Peps

Alchemy of Imagination
By Welkin Siskin It is somewhat a reflection of mind, this labyrinth of thin-to-thick idea sort out as the remedy from within the to-and-fro counteraction of active thoughts.
