Long Drag in Poems

How funny it all is
we ended up not even talking about this
bitterness consumed our souls
confusion persuaded us to be so low
We fought for pennies
Disposed collections 
Became enemies
Severed our interaction
We made a big scene

“A Cheeky Business”



Hot 
Cross
Buns

You 
smile when 
She’s crazy mad

She’s 
so 
cheeky

all Her
bullets 
are diamonds

She
makes you 
laugh out loud

when you are
grey skies
sad

She's 
a terrible
poet 

kind of 
cute

kind of 
good

kind of
bad

My shadows are tender and easy to miss,
Like a smile seems innocuous, stealthy as kiss,
Still these shadows add weight, create drag in our life,
Though they rarely, if ever, cut deep like a knife!

Too, sunlight wracks...

In arms with each other encircled
In lovers’ battle, cousins under the same blazing sun
And we hate them the same as they hate each other
Can’t change the sun or move those storms were just waves in...

He is making a mud puddle.
Jumps in, squeals, delighted.
Hey! There is grass on my legs!
Sure is, I agree.
I’m DIRTY! Said in an accusatory way.
Yes, you are, I say.
He jumps in two more times, sloshing mud...

Maybe it's me
I just don't like the tempo
maybe it how I'm feeling
or is it just not
that simple
the harmony
put it in perspective
Maybe it's me
what's this songs
objective
try to be
have great intent
music dropping
crowd for concert
since
they want to sing

When the dusk conquers the whole...
The flowers drag in its petal whorl...
As the sun hides in the distant dark cloud...
The deserted streets exclaim its pain aloud...
When all the clouds come closer in sky and darken..

I had a night terror
It's not unusual but of course it's not something you can ready yourself for
They are always 30 minutes after falling asleep
This one was that I was tricked and, well I don't...

I write because I am searching
For what was never lost
Does not everything in life
Come at its own cost
Sometimes the cost is small
Other times it's great
It's always best to show up early
Rather then drag in late

You can be a turtle, a deer, a buffalo, a dog, frog or a sphynx,
But you never know true love until you have fallen for a lynx.
I have a pair of them, and they adore...

The smoke filling up the crowded room;
I drag in the rain.
I hear strangers talking but they have nothing to say.
Outside I waited and she never came.

I wonder if she only leaves to hide away from...

Bags upon bags upon piles within piles of bags
Yes, teachers are the ultimate bag-ladies.
Rarely but occasionally a bag-man steps into our midst
But here at the elementary school it is usually women
Who drag in carrying bag...

Ideas bark and growl 
One of them bites her
But still she persists
Punishing herself by not writing
Not painting
Not doing anything she likes to do

She deserves to be flogged, whipped, and beaten
She made a big mistake, 
She...

A lot said of Almighty’s modeling
Just a few minutes to lunchtime ding
Persons like thee make any evidence of such perish 
You came out hot from a specific idea
From the horizon of my world
Your image burns...

Anyone who mountain bikes on a wilderness trail,
especially where wildlife predators are known to prevail,
are all performing a very unsafe and dangerous thing,
that could end fatally or seriously life threatening.
Wildlife preditors like bears have very...

Whoever knew days could drag in this way
Could take a whole lifetime to dawdle away
So slothic and languid, persistant to stay
Feels like you've been gone now for infinate days

I remained diligent, I occupied time
Busied myself...

What good is life worth living
If life you can't laugh at
All the ups and downs mixed with the ins and outs
Each time you're up to bat

If you find you can't take it standing up
Then try...

We sleep deep with eyes reflecting sudden drag in turmoil

We lament then run full circles in distant fantasy parked by its brevity
In sleepless nights frozen conclave we insist that we get our way;
Shapes of frightened...

Alone on an island far and free,
Life survives amid the sea. 
Neither wind nor swirling sand can tempt,
Life from its heavenly tent.

No life is safer no joy more complete
Than be from beneath the tempter’s feet....

Wintertime, and the snow is now falling.
Trees are bare, and the wind blows through them
Holes in the cabin, and we feel like its freezing.
Dad must bring some good warmth to all of us.

Drag in some...
