Long At my fingertips Poems

It's peaceful here in my backyard.
The crows sound happy
with warm October sunlight.

I just read about a deadly gathering in Las Vegas.
Absence of sun-drenched peace.
Inconvenient this time of lost loss.
Death is always inconvenient,
even when invited.

A veteran,

Bring on the rejection slips...

and/or try distilling my spirits
at losing gamble
if curious (by George) proceed
reading reasonable rhyme,
I guarantee the following words ramble.

Though flush with good humor
pun one mock two yields negligible
true cash equivalent value won
dirt...

Early morning, slightly subdued, a drawn out yawn reflecting my mood, 

slope to the kettle, body distorted by its metallic curves, amuse myself for a 
while, infusing with herbs, 

while my head changes shapes, prepare...

I’m not me
look into the mirror, and what do u see?
A sad, depressed girl staring back at me,
She can’t even look herself in the eyes,
Tears well up, but she won’t let me cry,
I couldn’t take...

An entire world at my fingertips searching for a crack
so it can flow through it and cast a new face
on the world we live in today
Where does it lead, none may know
take my hand, let's...

What am I doing in a place like this? 

So distant yet right at my fingertips…only a few know it exists.

A coat of Pacific blue chipping off into an opaque faded shade of grey—stony tone—of...

"I never travel without my diary, 
One should always have something sensational to read . .  ."  
So, I like Oscar Wilde, 1891, write my thoughts
Journaling my ramblings, today's joyful deed.

“Face the wall”...

I have just been confounded by nature on so many counts. I have been commenting on bumblebees not being seen in any quantity over most of the month, and today two species. Not abundant, but...

I’m thankful that I’m a woman
With the power to beguile
With charm at my fingertips
And bewitchment in my smile

I’m proud to be a woman
Of genders the fairer one
With a silken soft beauty
And aura to match the...

In an abyss of madness
I am overwhelmed by the fog
It feels like I die
I crawl, I bleed
I suffocate, I choke
I fall, I feed
I float in the ocean
Of crimson and scraps
I lay with the trash
And to...

Call Me Marionette: 

Today I exist. I exist for no one, for nothing; I exist. I am not held to or defined by a devotion of any. My allegiances, however strong, have no contract to...

The stretch of death and decay blows in from the north,
As centuries turn to dust.
Darkness engulfs barren carcasses of what was,
forlorn rain drips from the weeping sky,
coating every strand of my auburn hair,
Weighing it down...

I drum my fingers dreaming of poetic notions as is my bent,
But for the life of me, I can think of nothing on which to vent!
I fervently hope my well of imagination will never run...

I was blinded.
Darkened by obstacles of unwanted dreams.
Tripping over piles of anger and hate.
I was pushed down, crushed beneath my own frustrations.
Prying to get free.
Twisted and tangled in my own past, only left to tie...

Homesickness threatens me what with the World Wide Web at my fingertips

The place looks just...

Pure white with golden font
Millimeters numbered just right
Thick enough only for distortion
Smooth to the tongue
Held perfectly at my fingertips..
But it'll slide right down your throat
A pill of death for a musician

The lump stuck for hours
Breakfast...

A smoky inhalation,
Burning desire... Lonely. 
Crowds circulating, a click. 
Fire kissing, my lips; Warmed. 

Tangible lover or feigned hope?
Ember flickers, a wisp of smoke. 
Embraces me, no feeling of alone. 
The crackling, every breath; Happy....

   Influencers tell me what to think, do, and say

I consider myself a technologically savvy old geezer. With a simple utterance of “Hey Google, show me cute puppy videos” my world is filled with hours of mindless entertainment. I can do Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,...

To be so big with the world at our fingertips
To be so small when the world cannot hear
What can be the right words for departing lips?
When the wrong words can only induce fear

Most times I...

Today I painted a picture to
Represent my life and who I am
I had many colors at my fingertips
But I only used a few, I started with
A silver blue, to represent the calm & serene
River I...

Through air and ill breathe
A preminition of what's come
To the door's last closing I fell to the floor
Keeping the emotions inside, I'm waking
So hide it quickly
I  don't need the stress of the ache
And bury...

I have power at my fingertips,
Hands that scratch lyrics on paper.
A story I once knew -
Now it’s just art.

Rhythms. Twists.
Stanzas, words -
Cut and placed with care.

The poet is me - simple, complex.
Layers, knots -untold.
Pieces of...

Young and naive from a distance her heart leaped to its highest peak
On his terrace he'd sit lips utter words if the pages could speak
Her eyes showed ruby red as held flooding tears, so very...

The ashes of your ghost still roam within a sea of roses.
Breathing you in, I try to reach through the veils,
yet to no avail.
The bitter emptiness is all I can feel.

The Fates keep taunting, teasing~
