*Please do not be offended if I do not friend you, or post or comment. if you ever wonder why I have no bio, I do not post, or comment, I only read and write... This is why... Online life became an abyss for me, a black hole I could not find my way out of. But man, I love to write... Some may figure out who I was... But this is my story...My life on the red side...I met my husband in an unconventional way. He was my best...

I know a ole bear Furious and proud Protective of what he deems his Pushes and pulls and shares your dreams Delightful in his great rumbling growl His wit and humor know no bounds Careful when trespassing on his hunting grounds He knows how to rend with the power of the pen With rhythm and rhyme his wisdom dances across the page I count my lucky stars to be his friend If you ask for his criticism heed his advice His guidi...

Aditya had come home a bit late today. ''Traffic", he blamed when his parents asked him the reason. Without wasting any time he went to his study room. He wanted to register his bitter-sweet day in his journal. 1Today, it was my practical exam of Biology and I was expected to perform well. I had done thorough revision yesterday. I reached the college half an hour before the exam. And heaven, I realised I had made a blunde...

Have you ever been so scared That all logic and rational thinking Just goes out the window. You feel the best and only way to protect and keep those you love the most safe, Is to push them away and keep them at a distance No matter how hurt and lonely That it makes you feel. I know this might sound crazy at a time you need people the most To choose to distance yourself But all you want for those you love Is for them to be...

I have grown tired of the process of competition, and judging from the paucity of readers and comments my work gets anymore, the process has grown tired of me. I have many authors on SS and Lush that I admire greatly and shall continue to read and comment as always. Some are friends. Some choose not to be. Sometime toward the end of my ninth year of age I started writing. My life was always a difficult one and those of yo...

She sits on the cold tile floor of the bathroom, naked and alone. She has been betrayed and abandoned, lost and confused. She has tried to climb her way back, to fight through the tears. She is no longer strong enough, no longer whole enough. She is too tired and too disenchanted. The razor glides across her wrist in a swift motion, the blood bubbling in its trail, dripping to the floor. For that one brief moment she felt...

He's seventy five and she's seventy two both widowers, she doesn't remember as well as she use to. From my doorway I witness their love everyday in the way he helps her to get ready for bed, the way he picks out her clothes and washes her hair, the little sounds and faces he makes just to hear her giggle. When I pass by their room they are laid up together inseparable she nestled tightly in his arms he holds her like shes...

I don’t head home; I just head to another park. This one’s even farther from where Evangeline lives, so there’s no way she’ll follow me here and, even if this park is closer to home, there’s no way my “parents” will find me… it’s the weekend, they never leave the house on the weekend. Unless, of course, they run out of their stash. But that doesn't happen often, so I’m not all that worried. I sit myself down on a swing, m...

A year ago on Valentine's Day, my husband and I had just separated. I ventured out to play and leave it all behind, until he whispered the words to me "just because it is easier to start over than to fix what you already have doesn't mean it is right. " and so we went to counseling, and we fought a hard fight to put our marriage back together. Now we whisper words of love, and pledge our devotion frequently. We have talke...

I wish I were born in simpler timesWhen marriage was forever A time when people fixed what was brokenInstead of throwing it awayWe live in a worldOf instant gratificationFollowing desires and wantsLosing loyalty and faith We live in a world Where it takes multiple peopleTo satisfy our needsAnd your marriage is the last thing you focus onWork, kids, freedomBills, friends, All more importantI am a hopeless romanticI believe...

Dizziness struck, everything swaying around him, it was hard to stay balanced. He staggered over to the wall for support, suddenly a surge of sharp pain in his head. The world around him almost like static on a TV fuzzy and sporadic, the feeling of blood ran down the back of his neck dripping to the floor. He rushed to a drawer to find any sort of wrapping, after locating a roll of linen he wrapped it around his head a fe...

Hello Everyone! This is my first story so I would LOVE feedback. Thanks and enjoy! My friend and I go way back. His name is Andy.

Her name is Natalie. Natalie is a beautiful girl. Her face is clear and smooth, her personality is gold...

Mystic hazy dawn sounds softly floating around, Awakening enchanting love, her soul is unbound, Winding pathways guiding her upon holly ground, On a quest for her soul mate, yet to be found, For she won’t be left alone on her journey profound.

The 1” high bright red numbers of the clock read 3:38am. Another night when the pillow feels like a cinderblock. I turned the TV off at midnight. My brain must be a complete catastrophe inside with all of the churning and endless clamor.  The small nightlight attached to my emergency flashlight plugged into the wall gives off just enough glow to let me distinguish the contents of the room. Which I’ve done thousands of tim...

The grass is always greener on the other side,  Which one is better, you must decide. When you are alone, you wish to meet someone,  And if you’re married, sometimes you wish you could run. Decisions, decisions that need to be made,  Either side you can feel lost and betrayed. Being alone you can do whatever,  Going on many exciting endeavors. When you’re married, the family always needs,  Sometimes feels like a freaking...
