For My Brandi (Little Mo Knows) There are times, (so it seems), That "words" say nothing, (of what I mean), And all our tears (as with dreams), Never touch the truth, (of shortly being). But what I know, (I`ll share with you), You`re not alone, (you`re point of view). Oh... – *by Lona L Drum*	44 Views added 1 month ago		Rating

Come Nearer in Thought With silence just behind you, I come to turn your head. To charm you, to calm you, and fix these thoughts unsaid. Relax my love, just ease my love, and sense my drawing near. An essence clear a fragrance pure, a whisper you shall hear. ... – *by Lona L. Drum*	158 Views added 2 months ago		Rating
Match and Me The dreams that I have each night, Should be kept under lock and key. The names I should give these things, Would have to be "Match and Me". ""Match" he'd say is the devil, So he refuses to play me the role. But "Match" I'd say is my Angel, ... – *by Lona L. Drum*	154 Views added 3 months ago		Rating
Rubbing The Ring (Little Mo Knows) A Devil you make me play with, While I last these hours of real. Spending the time to that hour, To purchase the letters of words. To hasten the time to that hour, He's daring my "Rubbing the Ring". A Devil you make me play with, Who tempts... – *by Lona L. Drum*	138 Views added 4 months ago		Rating

	I love the rhyme. It flows like a melody. You can dance to it. And the message is soothing...hinting at a promise of serenity. 2 months ago	View

	I added a poem a few months ago but mispelled my name. As a result, this particular poem does not list with the other poems I have added. How do I change the poets name on this poem so that it can appear with my other writings? more » 4 months ago	View
	Thank you for your kind words. I have hidden theses writings for many years. But you have inspired me to share them at this time in my life. I need someone like you to perhaps mentor me. Your poems are deep and your choice of words and rhyme are perfect. And the subject your poems cover show how how broad your mind is with understanding. more » 4 months ago	View
	This poem says so much and reads smoothly. It reveals what a single candle's flame can reveal within a greater darkness. It's brightness overcomes the darkness and and directs your focus to it...."come, let me guide you". more » 5 months ago	View
	Where to start. My mind is burning with the thoughts that these poems bring to mind. Such diversity, so much meaning and inspiration in all or in any of them that I have been able to read. Although I have not been able to read them all, it pleases me to know that all who have entered have confirmed to me that there are such gifted people who can bring their mind and soul together to create such beautiful verse with "thier words". Be blessed and good luck! more » 5 months ago	View
