Best Clinging Poems

wave
after
wave
pounding
ruthlessly 
against
Her
weary
jaded mind
defiantly
eroding
tattered 
threads
of frail
sanity…
and yet...
She
clings to
hope

I look to the sky and ask,
Can he help find my way?
I've been wondering through this darkness
And still haven't found the light of day.
Struggle after struggle
I'm trying to find my way.
Time after time
I'm clinging to that little bit of faith.
Physically, spiritually, and emotionally drained
Venturing through...

All mankind is weak at heart
we are helpless and hopeless to a tee
our sin wraps us around its finger
tripping us up always so very easily

One DIRTY BIRD COP and (our) cities burn... again
now the far lefty loons are flapping about wanting to defund

as time was in question,
clinging to undulating lines.

I studied your vital signs 
as time was in question.

Move over and give me some space
Too tight is your strangling embrace
I am suffocating

I’d hate to have to buy some mace

Fantasy and dreams fade 
As does the magic of ones youth 
As we struggle the hardships of life 
Hope seems to dangle over the edge of a bluff 
We pray for the passing days to bring love, prosperity, and health into our lives 
So few...

By touching we feel, no real need to show
 Let us sense our favourite thing
 Dreaming sleeping a wish an awake so slow
                   
 Friends we keep...

Your finger has been set free!
No names carved in Tree!...

If i had but a fragment of time,to the top of your heart i would climb.
Resting my love on your every breath.
Ignited bond fires to keep a sublime soul warm,to save a trembling beauty from a snow storm.
coiled in my arms you would be.

A quiet stream in a secret place
I look in the water and see your face
Sitting here beside me
The way we were before you left me
You touched my hand so tenderly
And promised this was how we’d always be
And now I sit here all alone
With just a...

Growing from hanging basket
Clinging porch rail

Hanging on for dear 
Life knowning winter is near
