Leap Poems

Shadow Tail

Tree top dwellers
Electric line leapers
Garage roof tenants
They seem to live solely
To gather nuts
Be chased by eager canines,
And flaunt their furry tails.

A Leap of Faith

It takes a leap of faith

To be faithful and sleep

Don't leap at any creep

Don't leap at someone cheap

A leap of faith I took

Left vows in Papa's "Book"

Forgot the vows I took

I took a second look

A leap without the "Book"

I crept...She slept...I wept!

Sappho’s Leap

Bending truth to suit the occasion—searing. 
Peering through the dark at abyssal strewn;
Glow of waters lap at my swirling yearnings.
I should expire soon.

DANCER'S LEAP

DANCER'S LEAP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on tiptoes light, a dancer spins,
in every leap, a new world begins,
grace and poise in harmonious blend,
telling tales without words, messages send.

Take my hand

Yesterday you lied
Yesterday you cried
Yesterday you wish you died

Today you sit
Today you quit
Today you have no wit

Tomorrow you keep
Tomorrow you weep
Tomorrow you may even leap

Take my hand

I insist
Don’t resist
Let’s persist

Together we’ll band
Together we’ll stand
Together we’ll never land

Leap of Faith, Lyrics

I’ve been here before
At this event horizon

Is it shadow? Nothingness?
Heat?
A death
A fire of refinement

The pressure
Madness?
The spaghettification
Of my timeline
Rage, doubt, clout
Drawn into this pull


Is there a transformation for the pain?
Oh, lovely essence beautiful and fair
Are there only shadows, or does light reign?
Igniting my everlasting soul's prayer
To nurture a flame from heaven's domain
I search for holy ground,

One Small Step, One Giant Leap

With those who
want to test the waters,
and yet have no wish
to get their feet wet,
but wait to have their cake
(and eat it too)
handed to them on a plate,
I will neither split hairs
and pick nits
nor reason or debate
(or tear their thoughts to bits)
so,
if they're going to 'fly',
(jump to a conclusion)
either do it or don't,
as Yoda said,

In Stars Above

A dress, tangerine fading into sunflower.
We stand together,
rooftop of a white concrete building.
Higher than clouds, further than moon—
she looks down, my eyes follow.
Our gazes collide when they
fall onto the mist pooling into swirls.

I couldn't help but stare, on her porcelain cheeks,
something sparkles—tears, but I cannot tell
if they're from joy or devastation.
I want to hold her—

In

Spring Dawn Beautiful Leap

Quote: Spring is for concepts and projects, and autumn is a second spring where each leaf is a rose. By Poet

In the misty dawn, above the shimmering pane, 
a gossamer haze swirls, poised for

We hold hands and leap tall buildings

If you love someone, set them free...
Whether children leaving the nest or friendships that last across continents... Love is forever... Even when we're apart.

I don't want to lose you
But I can't see another way 
You have to be free and true to you
It's not

LEAP OF FAITH

A connection endures,

As it's host surrenders,

To the possibilities,

An infinite world before thee.

A projected reality,

From 2 eyes i see,

A life created for me,

Stemming from the energy.

Purposely full,

Of adversity,

Diversity,

A University of knowledge.

Taking you over the edge,

Earning the wisdom,

To inspire a kingdom,

Of loving participants.

Aware of their dance,

There is a better chance,

To feel the romance,

Within their own experience.

A leap

A leap in the void

Limited by body-mind,
we are gripped in ego’s bind,
caged in fear, blurry our sight,
even though we’re living light.

Bereft of love, light and bliss,
heart tells us something’s amiss
but we’re afraid to negate,
desires that do not abate.

With senses externalised,
truth within’s not realised,
known only if we be still
and surrender egoic will.

Untethered from our mind tree, 
in the void, we’re

Chance a Leap

all souls
all chance
chance life
chance hell
hell eternal
hell slow
slow the earth
slow time
time to make
time to turn
turn to God
turn and aspire
aspire to good
aspire to praise
praise the highest
praise and pray
pray for mankind
pray for peace
peace in fruits
peace that lasts
lasts that breathe
lasts of memories
memories of love
memories sealed
sealed at the throne
sealed and delivered
delivered from sin
delivered and sanctified
sanctified with grace
sanctified and learning

Life is not a bed roses

As I see a leaf fall apart
I see the love that depart
The roads are paved with stones like needle
I always walk through pain that moodle
Oh God deliver thy happiness 
Give me sorrows 
For that I am from the burrow
