There’s the tightrope for you to walk, wire walker —

defying the gravity of reality and the reality of gravity
you know damn well he won't catch you when you fall
as your sticky grip on the star’s razor edge slips

back away from the black back-alley -
use the...

EDGE WALKER 

Waking up to the depth beyond such things every day
One day I choose to walk and become Queen of Mandalay

In the depth of my ocean mind
I Find my soul diving and trying to unwind

Peer pressure can not handle all the empty space
Avoiding the...

Premium Member The Wing Walker
Old John's birthday was fast approaching, he'd be seventy-two
And his family asked him nicely what he would like to do
"Do you fancy a nice picnic or sightseeing on a train?" 
"No thanks" said Old John "I'd like to wing walk on a plane ".

His family...

Premium Member Shadow Walker
Remnants have been stained the color of
The blood moon
Hidden beneath the boulder that is Western
Civilization
The glory of sunrise has been buried
With promises of eternal light
Fruits of darkness lay crushed under
Waves of chanting the righteous
Path
Many trails the night traveller takes
Lead to love
Every hand is needed now...

Premium Member Wing Walker Smooth Talker For Tom Cunningham
His instructor said he must wear tights
Most essential in these sorts of flights
Fred said take them away
Folks would think I was gay
The truth is that Fred’s scared of heights


Fred fibbed that he’d been a wing walker
A falsehood, this sure was a corker 
His relations soon...

Cautious Walker
Steps leading 
down 
      to a steep ravine
        one path to 
take
The cautious walker
     moves slowly 
measuring every step
     Let's not laugh too 
hard at...

Walker
She floats up and down the heartbreak sidewalks
Hungry, looking for the golden ticket from the
Next john that might not hurt her but instead
Rescue her from the depravity of the life she lives.

Everyone is happy, everyone is free, she thinks
Coasting and mingling with her fellow walkers
Of...

Solitary Walker
There she goes into the moon dust 
Walking in the silver lit fair and just, 
Above stars were sprinkled on her hair,
Her body,clothes with perfumed jasmine air, 
She carries galaxy in her eyes;
Wearing her hope like a crown and rise,
Her head filled with fantasies and...

Premium Member Fire Walker Searches For Her Babies
loud cracks and creaks permeate the silence
inferno’s roar is heard in keen ears of wildlife
terror is felt throughout the forest
animals flee, but many do not make it out
the blinding smoke and their fear leaves them helpless
some curl up, waiting for death
the fire walker trots through...

Street Walker In Oslo
Street Walker in Oslo 

As the black-winged night occupies my balcony
and spread its wings in triumph and shop lights
try in vain to illuminate and gladden a grubby street
I see you leaving your flat and begin your night shift
As you walk past splashes of yellow light,
I...

The Silent Walker
A silent walker strides his course
     In pensive contemplation
His brain a fire with thoughts of life
     In search of explanation

The quiet man continues on
     His path is often winding
He wonders how his life...

Earthly skin tone
Reality of the world
Living for the moment
Entertained by her imagination
Never lost in thought
All aspects of life are focal points.

Johnnie Walker
With your spirits well down and the feeling is low.
   Here's a few drams of whisky, that gives you a glow.
   Try, Johnnie Walker blue, it's a taste bud sensation.
   So perfect a blend, for a special occasion.

And at first, I didnt know what to think of...
