Premium MemberLazy Day on the Water

...Lazy Day on the Water

She rests on the blue green water while
we sit on her deck taking in the yellow sun.
To port a pod of sleek black dolphin
swim lazily by.
Her white sails sag limply
wait...

POTD
How I wish I could have clutched
 vignettes of remembrance
on this bench in a park; 
the same wooden one
which cradled our afternoons,
feeding little birds
as  slices of pang gr...

Where Did I Go?

...It whispered
From afar its sutble tones lay
On a bed of acceptance
Pillows tossed away the heat
Competing against the harsh winter
Where grey found its way
And south was the compass point

Sleeping Away From Home

...I was sitting.
My legs were crossed, that’s all I know.
They don’t ask what hurts.
They know.
They take my blood away, 
And that’s not so bad.
At my house, all I could do was wander around, aim...

Decayed

...We hold hands as we walk through the woods
Rich with decay.
The leaves crunch beneath heavy bodies.
The smell of death follows us.
We walk slowly, savoring the day
For there is no use running.

Leaving Your Last Breath

...Like those last
luscious faintly
enfeebled breaths
bitterly breaking
through my
limply lifting lungs .
Fervently flooding
my tear filled
eyes. Tenderly
tottering into
those timidly
tight-l...

Premium MemberArachnid Encounter

...I found a bag outside the door
My mind, alert like a sly fox,
Advised me not to rush because 
It could contain Pandora’s box!

My fingers itched to pull the string
So that the knot I could unti...

Storm In a Butterfly House

...It rained for 3 days,
drenching torrents plunged down
as if a dam had breached.
There was some local flooding
but by and large only minor damage
a lot of litter and flotsam though
‘sky wreckage...

Broken Time In Pieces

...Time passed away in the dark,
the bedside clock fell silent
it was never much of a talker.

Below the curtained window
snow had numbed the night,
ill at ease my body stretched
as if seeking a ...

Premium MemberOde On a Leaf

...I do not want to simply fall -
to limply slip down from a tree.
I need a purpose to live for.

No Humpty Dumpty on a wall
that splatters down to earth for ME.
Oh, life, there still must be some...

Your Old Kingdom

...All that matters is that you will no longer be in limbo. 

As you are limply before a palace. 

It is up to us to place you on their doorstep. 

Just as you were placed on our doorstep-

When...

Toilet Like Pilate

...A facility he had not used
But about it already enthused:
A not funny challenging toilet,
Water needing like Pontus Pilate:
Just to climb it effusive pride bruised 
And when one was through with...

Premium MemberBeware the Leaves of Autumn

...Beware the leaves of Autumn as they flee
Undressing every limb of bush and tree
As we shiver in the cold that sets them free
And wonder, as the Pagans, what will be.

For frozen in the ground th...

Too Damp To Be Wet

...A briefly wrung-out sky
is blotched with clammy clouds.
A humid air clings to my chest.

Damp squirrels hang limply
from dripping branches.
Desultory birdsong mops
but not much.

I yearn for...

A Gentleman's Trappings

...A Gentleman's Trappings

Crisply pressed suits hang in a dark closet
Starched white shirts lie untouched in dresser drawers
Bland ties hang limply awaiting his touch
Highly shined black shoes an...
