Premium MemberThe horse galloped

At the crossroad
I was knocked down
by a speeding horse.
Off it Galloped ,
his mane flowing.

"Oh, harbinger of hope,
please tell them,
I lie broken
awaiting for their help."


SEASIDE






              Living by the sea,
     means having a house perfumed
            with all marine scents...!

Premium MemberBeating a Dead Horse

Reins lifted in spite, a grimace
Blistering the urge to forgive the way
Black changed to gray right before your eyes,
Easing away the pain like, in fading, it might
Be changed to innocence like snow, freezing the weakness
In a heart who bleeds, pouring out tears in crimson
Pools, deep and liquid as rivers and seas 
Who keep believing in the teasing sprays, 
Wistful, still angry, deep down ~ 
At the depths where melancholy meets grief
And each memory rains pure defeat,
Aching, lost and dying to be found somewhere 
On the road to one moment before the decision 
Was made into reality and the reins were raised
Trembling with the darkest rage, gasping 
From the insidious need to kill the ache who
In fading, left the hoof print of loneliness all over
The soul who keeps wandering back to that place
For more ~ it beats out a rhythm that might be thought
More tender than the actual beat of its dark surrender 
In defeat, the soul quakes and the mind aches
As the heart ~ oh, yes, the heart ~ it simply breaks!

Premium MemberBorn of Breakers

broad strokes to ease that aching sky
          that shed its tears so hooves could fly
               of fears and fathoms, brought to dash
     upon the reefs where waves will crash

a brine that birthed you deep as death
          by Neptune's grace, to take my breath
               how could this man of flesh and needs
     refuse these lithe and beautied steeds

you see, this happened, not by chance
          they came to tempt my love to dance
               for long I've prayed these seas impart
     the wondrous means to melt her heart

so should you bring her heart to swoon
          bedecked with beams of crescent moon
               beg, grant her your broad flanks to ride
     with haste and form straight to my side

such equine dreams will beg she stays
          as I'm dissolved, deep 'midst her gaze
               like you - two eyes of chestnut brown
     that sea, where I will gladly ... drown.

Free Horse On the Prairie

The wild horse
         free on the prairie,
         savage and
         poetically
         rides...
        until someone
        imprison its nature...
        Is this poetry...!?


I Fly a Horse

My thought a free horse, trotting in the meadow of  imagination

Premium MemberAt Days End

I ride a pale horse
Mr. Time has come for me
Days end requiem

Through wind and cold rain
Teeming hard on road and steed
I make my way home

Wild Horse

The wild horse
         in free prairie
         poetically
         rides ...
        Until someone
        imprison it's character ...
        Is this poetry ...!?

Premium MemberThe Beautiful Mind

a beast of a brain

                        bucking away

                    dapple grey matter

Premium MemberDonkey Horse Hen Rooster On the Lamb Chickens Leap Fly Jump Popeye's Chicken For Lunch

There once was a donkey
He was married to a horse
Donkey was to stubborn
So the donkey got a divorce

Cleaver was the ways of the hen
She married a bucking rooster
He took her by the wing then
Tried to seduced her

Don't want no green eggs N ham
Don't want to go on the lamb
I am, I am horsey running away
Chickens can't fly they may leap and jump
Think I'm gonna have Popeye's Chicken for lunch, :) ha! ha! Ha!

Horse Racing

She opened her legs then hopped up on it

She gripped it tight then sat down on it

He started to move so she began to ride it

She loved the feeling cuz she enjoyed it

She pulled out the whip to show that she was master

And when she swung it he began to go faster

She started to scream at the top of her voice

For the way he made her feel her voice got so hoarse

After a thirty minute run he started to tire

For this horse was no longer young he was ready to retire

World Cruise

We like to respond to
Oysters on sea beaches
Rustling branches in the wood
Love the tall birches
Dews drop as she blushes

Cucumbers smile on thatch
Roses call from your pots
Umpteen snails roam 
Inquiringly on moist spots
Sands sparkle at riverside
Elegant horses we ride

Flogging a Dead Horse

While snarkers strive with proud but fruitless disdain                                                                                       Wounded immortals try the slaying of the slain                                                                                                                         Quit beating the dead metaphor                                                                                                                                          let it go and watch it roll down hill

Premium MemberLonging

My dream was to ride
Not on horseback, no, on your motorcycle, 
with you
With my hair in the wind
A whirling tornado of curls
Lashing out at your back and helmet
And my arms wrapped around you
With my eyes closed 
While sunlight etched trees
we passed
In lively paintings in my brain

But here I am
Sitting between your legs
So you can keep me upright
And your one arm tightly around me
While holding the reins with the other
I close my eyes and lean against you
Feeling in your warm chest
A little fire burning
within
you and I

Perhaps that is all the motorcycle I need
Being with you on horseback
While you prevent me from falling
And I am keeping you in the saddle
Perhaps that is what we do,
metaphor for our lives.
