I never said you had to settle for less this bargain we made with sweetest handshake. I'll look to you in the sun meet where ground gives way to sky.. see if any lingering dreams came true never to reason how or why. If evening songs become few you and I will know just what to do- For two...

Both Sides
I look across our nation wide … saddened by the view Hopes and dreams in shattered heaps Smoldering and askew. Trust is lost, alliance gone, Handshakes no longer known Doubt and suspicion there Normalcy’s been outgrown. Both political realms Must see what they have done For in the final tally … Neither of them have won. ...

Tea With A Handshake
Crossroads in the desert sands swirls, an orb whirls around as clouds gather, lightning bolt violet violently twirls, roads crack with shotgun thunder. Visage a pearl cascades as she approaches me, cut through the dirt she speaks a litany reverie, “You enjoy your dream, your echo, everything?” My foot slides back as countenance begin smiling “I didn’t shake or sign anything, don’t owe...

Once, a handshake was all it took; a deal was struck, then hands were shook. But today, trust has all but died; and because lying is implied, we treat everyone as a crook....

Handshake
A handshake's no longer in style And fist bumps just lasted a while But at a first meeting There should be a greeting Perhaps one that's more than a smile. Yet some folks still offer a hand, Though if they are taking a stand, Their grasp should be strong Like their palm does belong And it didn't, by accident, land. With a person whose handshake...

Premium Member Inside a Handshake
My father said there's much to tell In how people might shake your hand As someone grasps to wish you well Or maybe, they seem not so grand Some reveal surprise in their eyes Secrets withheld - then bonds do break Peering deeper, you sense a guise Little lies put relations at stake Look inside with this simple act My father's opinion, not a...

A knot in a rope, a twist in a strap, Bound tight to never give way, Shackled in trust and tied to each other, Relying on what they both say, They’re able to confide the truth in each other, Confide the secrets they own, And know this truth will be securely kept, Their words are written in...

Premium Member What's The Secret Handshake
We sit here quietly every day in our little space, Taking phone calls and doing our job better than most. We’re just like everyone else here stuck in the rat race Working so hard at our job, while others seem to coast. We haven’t noticed any new job postings on the wall, Yet, the guy next to us seems to...

Like to be back in the work force again Contributing my talents to the fray Never wanted retirement to come along Sure wish I was still active today Nothing's changed except for my age It doesn't make me any less valuable Mind didn't freeze, become useless or such Making me any less bankable Actually still worked at seventy-five One reason was because I freelanced Surely...

Victory runs around in the speed of whirl wind optimism deputizing great confidence self belief joins achievement’s prestigious caucus getting the score, even before scoring the goal are preparations to this perennial battle An aptitude test, much needed for the next step growth must take place, with this one more push headache plagues germination, after two tries this time around, the aim and...

Premium Member More Than a Handshake
It's more than a handshake, a firm grip up and down. Not a simple act to be passed around. More than a greeting, agreement proclamation, or declaration of peace, though it may entail these three. (I'll spare many details, keep it family friendly). It's more than puzzle...

The Elusive Handshake
Is it a wolf in sheep’s clothing? No, it is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. Is it a green snake in the grass? No it is a green grass in the snake. So they navigate the treacherous waters of politics As we wait for them to find the elusive handshake. But I ask, as the old man was asked not to...
