Premium Member Will You Tie My Shoes When I Grow Old
You were beautiful, 
my tiny child, 
wrapped tightly in my arms, 
close to my heart.
I listened to you breathing.
I counted your fingers
and your toes.
Helpless, 
you cried out to me
and I loved you
with every ounce of my soul.

Will you hear me
when I cry out? 
Will you...

These Ribbons I Tie As You Leave
Blue – 
for your arm wrapped around
my clavicle. I thought
I would loose my breath.

Red – 
for the cusp of our hip bones
struggling to pull the drunken color
from our orange cheeks.
and our sweat, our sweat, our sweat
evaporating 
in the drenched summer air.
Our pants futile afterthoughts
Left crumpled...

He Wore a Tie
She was an artist
And he wore a tie
He was established 
She needed to fly

She loved the sensations
Danced to vibrations
She wasn't wired 
For logical thinking
She learned to detect
Rules and regulations 
And steered clear
Of these situations

He was a tad bit square
Didn’t always play fair
Oblivious to the severity

Tie the Knot Limerick
There was a girl, of I thought 
I loved her so much, a ring I bought
  Thinking of happy marriage 
  To propose I summed up all my courage 
Unfortunately, she wasn’t ready to tie the knot....

Premium Member Bow Tie
She stood wearing nothing but a bow tie.
Her skin was glowing in the soft moonlight.
I had to look after all I'm a guy.

Each and every curve was placed oh so right.
A fantasy here right before my eyes.
Her skin was glowing in the soft moonlight.

As I...

Premium Member Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport
There's an instrument called a didgeridoo
From the land down under they say
Used by the indigenous tribes of Australia
About 1500 years ago to the day

Described in books as a natural wood trumpet
Rolf Harris brought it to the fore
He's currently serving five years in prison
For a crime...

Tie the Knot
Being with you
in your grace,
this feeling of love
can't be replaced.
You're gentle and trusting,
I admire your ways...
believe me love,
you drive me insaine!
So, let us unite,
let us close the deal;
your love and thought 
Is all I can feel.
Thank you for all
the time we've shared.
Now let's make it...

Tying a Tie
Tying a Tie

Standing at the mirror
A tie around my neck
Trying so hard to tie it
But it always looks like a wreck
Retired and somewhat older now
It’s been years since I wore a tie
But the cruise says its dress up day Tuesday
And my wife says I have...

A Straight Guy In a Gay Tie
A Straight Guy in a Gay Tie

Some Men want to be Girlies,
Some Girls want to be Boys,
Some Guys like to play Barbie’s,
Some Ladies like Tonka Toys.

Genes get a bit muddled up,
It happens, It’s all in the brew.
Genetic codes keep us guessing,
When one is created by...

Tie a Rainbow On Your Heart
Tie a rainbow on your heart

the power of eyes
like an arrowhead
keep focus on
beautiful colors

but a heart

sharper
than the eyes
sensitively
give a birth
of a lust
to swallow all
the colorful hopes

life is a rainbow
coated layers of
beautiful colors

Look at those birds
Smoldering color 
spread peace

look at those dripping sweats
irrigate our green fields

look...

You Can'T Tie Me Down
In spite of any deformities or disabilities
I know that the Lord Our God is watching over me
And the more I realize who I was meant to be
The more I try to hide behind my inabilities
You can't tie me down I now comprehend
That God is only...

Black Tie Affair
I say to you good fellow
if you do it do it well
trash all your morals and send them to hell
chase anothers woman
cherish her fantasies
make her feel like she's the only human
bath her in attention
perform so well and receive a honorable mention
don't daly or delay
for you...

Tie-Dye
This dress was ripe with stains
On the verge of being lost to last year
And its ambiguous grey-green shading

Last year's heart took my eyes and
Squeezed
The life out of them
Until they bled right over the sick-skin skirt

I released it from the shadows today
Took it firmly in my...
