A Man All AloneA Man All Alone2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
On a moon lit night on a hill deep in the woods
A man stands in the tall grass
The water laps at his bare feet
And the love song of a bull frog can be heard
The wind picks up and the trees make there bow
Off in the distance lightning can be seen
As the night begins
The birds seem the saddest when night falls
There songs of joy are the end to us all
The man you may wonder is here to meet his one true love
But that's imposable you say
Because we all know she is dead
The fog rolls in and the crickets begin there symphony
Light bugs are adorn on every bush&

Guardando Nel Buio (Gaze into the darkness)
BY AUBREY JACK PEASLEE
The World needs change.
Not as a few, but as a whole.
To each other we are estranged.
Despite being crafted from the same mold.
Humanity is its own rival.
The world is a tapestry, and we the smearer.
To see evil
One only need to look in the mirror.
Ideals once held dear now fade to ashes.
I have theorized:
For every second that passes
Another shred of Chivalry dies.
Have we forgotten our sponsion?
The Golden Rule, t'was:
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
It is hard to cure an affliction
When ourselves are the cause.
I simply cannot fatho

Is this how it feels?,
to bare the pain?
How does it feel,
to break the chains?
To watch her slip beyond my touch...
She's gone away,
But I can't do much,
But I won't give up; What you mean to mean.
Even though, I'm alone, And Left to the cold.
I'm getting tired of this game,
It's quickly getting old,
But who are you to stay the same?
Your memories are just too plain.
I'm just a joke to the girl whom I wrote.
My love's at stake,
But still you leave me with this ache.

His firm frame under mine, the clean smell of his skin, his hair, falling over his forehead. Muscular arms strong enough to support his weight, yet gentle enough to hold me close. His soft lips curved upwards into a smile as he embraced my kisses. Running his lips ever so slowly over my skin, kissing me every once in a while. His warm breath running along behind following the trail of kisses till it reaches the welcoming goose bumps.
The butterflies start in my stomach and end near my throat. I haven't felt those in a while, years in fact.
My hands pursue his ribs, tracing a new trail every time, noting the ones that make his skin tremble.

A lonely score of winters pass,
A thousand wraths of noon,
Soon time and tide shall pass away,
But they cannot take my boon…….
Love of youth had wits expunged,
A folly made neath the moon,
A shadow running cross the night
For her I asked this boon….
While the lazy moon did saunter
I saw her, alluring daughter of night
At once mind and heart did falter
Fell in love at her very sight….
In Elysium’s white mantle draped
And bathed by Hyperion’s light
Havens maiden, she walked gently
Bowed eyes lit dark by the night…..
For many a night her beauty grew
Till all was dimmed before the light of her f

Misty and Dash huddled together as the cold night winds chilled them to the bone. The moon had risen so fast that they had barely had enough time, to sit down before the darkness had slammed down on them. Dash still wasn't talking to Misty, and Misty was too mad at him to feel sorry for him.Misty sighed this was stupid, the forest wasn't even scary. Misty stood up, and spoke sharply to a Dash "I am going t for a walk.". Dash looked up at him with fright in his eyes, "Can I com..." then he remembered

Roads of Yesterday
BY AJ PEASLEE
Time is much like an infant:
It begins at a crawl.
Starts to walk.
Becomes firm upon its feet.
Discovers the thrill of running
Never slowing down
Until eventually
Decades have passed
And yet it was only yesterday.
Trails divide
The great open road ahead
Some well worn
Others filled with overgrowth
Some take the familiar
Others chance the unknown.
Though our lives differ
We march upon the very same paths.
Within the darkness
A beam echoes
Signaling the birth
Of a new star.
A seed splits open
Giving way
To a newborn sprout.
Under a bright light
Sons and Daughters
Open their eyes

Where I'm From
I am from a melting pot,
A mix of all types.
The Germans, and the Dutch,
The Hispanics.
The Wisconsin-ers and the New Mexicans.
I am from the small apartment,
Near my parents' station, in Portland.
From the small yellow trailer,
That was all they could afford.

I am from late New Year's nights,
Spent on a blue couch in my room.
And from good food,
Poached pears, pudding,
Still warm from the oven every Christmas.
I am from trees from the ceiling
(we named them each year)
Their heavy pine scent holding me dear.
From letters to Santa,
And waking my parents,
Taking them coffee each Christmas day.

That time we've all been waiting for.
Everything has been burned to ashes, and yet we still fight on.
But why? Why do we sacrifice ourselves?
Is this person that important?
Can we not settle this like normal civilians?
No, this is all wrong.

How Love WorksHow love worksHow Love Works10 months ago in Short Stories More Like This
Love starts with an obsession. Everyone has had an obsession with someone when they were a kid. Whether it was in your head or you literally obsessed about them outwardly. Everyone obsessed about someone when they were a kid. And you were all rejected by at least one person you obsessed over. You feel a dull pain, but you quickly find someone else to follow.
But that stops soon. As soon as you had your first boyfriend, you felt ecstatic. You felt you could implode out of love. You wanted to be next to them every second. And then it happens. They find a flaw. That's all it takes. They leave you.
Once they left you, you feel a

we strive to the top.
One step at a time
we could do anything.
Life is like stairs
because sometimes
you go one step back
and two steps forward
or two steps back
and one step forward.
Some even get too tired
to climb anymore
and fall all the way down.
Have you made it to the top?
With your perfect plans
and powerful climb.
Life is like stairs,
though it's not,
because with stairs
there's only one way
to the top.

The stars shinned in her eye
As she winked and past me
With a big smile on her face

They flow down almost naturally
Emotions escape in all those drops
Trickling down sweet baby faces
We've all lost ourselves to the tears
Pain brings tears
Anger brings tears
Happiness brings tears
I haven't finished my share of them
I wait for them to gush down my cheeks in rivers
And yet not a single tear is shed
I'm sorry for losing myself in thoughts
I can't help these things
Just leave me to my never-ending tears

Unless we fill it up with all the Love, and Joy we can.
With every vacant corner, deep in search of something more.
Can anybody ever fill it, without ever being sure?
You're never certain what you'll find, to fill that space therein.
Nor any person who can say, just where you should begin.
But something I can tell you, there is nothing I want more,
Than anything, that's worth the while, to fill my empty drawer!

Tripping over weeds, stumbling on the rocks
Dwarfed by this savage bonsai forest
On snow white feet she makes her way
Impervious – through what is breaking me –
It is merely the pieces, glimpses I can catch
Of this spirit that sustain me, push me onward
Once lovely branches claw at my face
Once friendly creatures claw, bite, hold me back
And the eyes that were once my comfort now only pierce me
To say I was foolish, naïve. So why do I still cling
To something so long lost?
