Premium Member Stepping Towards We
I had never felt a part of the we
Not sure how I was supposed to be
I stood on tiptoes trying to see
Wondering if there was room for me

I floated at the edges like smoke
Laughing imperceptibly at a joke
Wanting to be like other folk
Yet in my...

Premium Member Driving towards the Daylight
I gaze beyond 
the sky of sapphires,
waiting for a
spark of sailing light,
listening to 
the balmy breeze~
they kiss the 
rays of silver,
with tales of 
my eclipsed past. 

Maybe tonight dandelion 
wind will dance in sync~
to sunset kayaks cruising
through wounded waves, 
shimmering amidst
tear-stained dunes… 

I lean on...

Peaks and (valleys) of an AA
Poem may be read Whole or Peaks only and (valleys) only

As my fingers trace your silhouette mind
(Yesterday showers fell upon a gentle face)
And the strength returns straight from your love’s heart
(Today they enter the world of a different pace,)
Those your...

Premium Member I Reach Towards Her Hand
She walks along the shores of my mind.
Her scent fills me with anticipation.
All of the night clouds are silver lined.

She is far beyond any expectation!
I reach out to take her hand in mine.
Her scent fills me with anticipation.

I look to the heavens for a sign.
Praying...

Premium Member Laughing Towards Ecstasy
I want to make you laugh
Till you're rolling on the floor
I won't be satisfied
Until you beg me for more

Passion mixed with laughter
Can truly be divine
No one else's fingers
Are anything like mine

They will fill you with pleasure
your heart can't help but race
You try to stop laughing
Tears...

Towards Deaths Door and Back
I hope this letter, to you, a stranger 
Becomes a letter to a friend 
As we travel on this journey to its end
Yes we’ll start off as mere strangers
Trying to share the selfsame track
And what matter, if you stray a little
For I'll just lift you...

Towards a Capitol of the World
The differences betwen us 
are less than is commonly imagined
   We all need food, family, and love
     Meeting people from differnet cultures 
   has emphasized this to me 
The true capitol of the world

Walking Towards Evermore
Sound cutting through 
the urban atmosphere
   Awaken sleeping city dwellers
Fierce winds blow but the sounds continue
    The sound of brass instruments and voices 
Voices, voices - chanting and delighting the senses 
    of the asphalt homeland 
It...

Premium Member Towards a Love Meeting
We walk, hand in hand, 
careful of the ice-covered paths.
The sun hidden by dark clouds
Heavy with cold rain.
The vanishing verdant leaves
Of barren trees offer no secure shelter, 
As crystal icicles hang from branches aloft.

Occasionally we stop and kiss,
Like hungry bees sucking nectar,
Capture a moment of...

I Gaze Towards An Eastern Place
~

Morning light now comes to glow
on weary smiles and waking eyes
As ribbons of a crimson flow
paint dawn upon these early skies

I gaze towards an eastern place,
so far and yet so near to me
In hopes of dreams I long to trace,
such beauty for my eyes to...

Premium Member Towards the Pond
 
Birds flew among the old oak trees
Savoring melody in the breeze.

Last night, it rained hard and the air was cleared.
Shining vivid leaves glistened,
Few fell, colorful lawn.

A small sweet deer ambled downwards the winding path.
Towards a small clear pond it ambled in great awe
My whole...

Addicted Towards Happiness
~Tonight A Free Ride ~

Tonight my thoughts are running towards 
my healing ocean, becoming the place 
where voluntarily I am convinced to watch 
the thousands of stars in the sky, illuminating 
my shore on arrival, to share my lively routine 
visits with this one whale...

Battle of Success Towards Innovation
Thoughts raised questions, 
mysteries lead to discoveries.
Nyquist’s analog signal digitalization, 
led to the electronic world modernization.
The door to victory is never known.
Opportunities towards success could be blown.
Choosing a path already chosen,
 is safe yet done by a dozen.
But a road – not – taken is...

Towards a New Home
Once there was an end of the war in sight,
they built their John Steinbeck ship,
hoisted the Ayn Rand flag
and sailed to the promised land.

Upon the honeyed shore, there she was,
their old enemy, milky arms wide open in welcome.

Blood and spit dripping from her mouth, she...

Premium Member Turning Towards June
May is exhaling 
her last anticipated breath
And turning her face 
towards June
June, sweet June, 
The perfect month
For all loves to be consumed

When all those who have loved
Become fast lovers
When separated twos 
Pledge to become eternal ones
Come what may
Never to be undone
One always loves a lover

But...
