In this age shrouded in darkness like a grim haze,
Where evil turns the hearts of men to wicked ways,
The quiet peace and simple joys of times now old,
For lusts of mere pleasure, power, and pride are sold.
Exhausted is the modern man, fraught... – by Rosario | 8 Views added 1 month ago

One night as New Year’s Day drew nigher,
I enjoyed a fest like few prior;
I waltzed with a fair lass,
But cracked her skull like glass;
If only the ceiling were... – by Rosario | 8 Views added 1 month ago

I look up from the Earth and try to see
The planets looking back at me.
I gaze at bright and distant stars
And search for Mercury, Venus, Mars.
I squint at the Milky Way way up high
And look for Jupiter in the sky.
Where are Saturn, Uranus,... – by Rosario | 8 Views added 1 month ago

My dear, my love for you grows greater,
Enough to fill the moon’s each crater;
To whom do I write,
With no love in sight?
Well, I can just fill that in... – by Rosario S | 11 Views added 1 month ago

I once thought to become a priest
And went to some friars out East;
But they turned me away,
‘Cause they thought I was gay,
So now I practice law and... – by Rosario | 5 Views added 5 months ago

Looking out into the sky,
As the sun descends from high,
And the day starts to wind down,
As does most of the fair town,
Nothing else concerns my eye,
Than the rays of light that dye
The world that’s all around me
And reflect off of the sea.

A red rose bush lies trampled underneath,
The hardened soles of the bustling crowd,
Its petals ground like lettuce under teeth,
Their beauty never seen by hearts too proud
To turn from leading their lives fast and loud,
Blind to elegant... – by Rosario | 11 Views added 5 months ago

Radiant and bright, like brown tourmaline,
Were those eyes that glistened like gems in light,
And could brighten a room even at night,
With a friendly look, gentle and serene.
By peering into them it could be seen,
A kind innocence left... – by Rosario | 10 Views added 5 months ago

True Passion, so sadly misunderstood,
As chasing desires selfish, carefree,
Rather than what it truly ought to be:
Suffering for the sake of something good.
It’s not a thrill, although call it some would,
Nor a burning pleasure, as others... – by Rosario | 12 Views added 5 months ago

“I’m not afraid to die,” calmly you said,
As we faced the cold to fight your disease;
Your mind had seemed to be always at ease,
When thinking of meeting loved ones long dead.
“I used to be beautiful,” as tears shed,
You sighed, as cruel... – by Rosario | 3 Views added 5 months ago

If to love true, one must first come to know,
With fullness of mind, intellect, and heart,
One’s every intimate aspect and part,
May my acquaintance of you ever grow.
As an opus of Michelangelo,
Splendorous are you, God’s dear work of art;
