Premium Member On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour
The clock at tick-tock - appears a flower On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Green eyes scan the darkest blue; and brown eyes, On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Fuzzy figures all about the dusk-ing On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Brown spots on leaves; and Autumn wrinkled skin, On the Precipice of the Midnight Hour. Fateful showers begin with...

In seventy-eight, my steel-stallion, KZ1000, pride, wind in my hair. Its Sissy Bar, firm tether, bag secured, my wanderlust's prayer. Where sun, snow, wind sculpt my journey's theme my odyssey untamed, my spirit free. No car to claim, just two wheels flight a bond profound, betwixt...

Children's Poems III These are poems for children and poems about children and their mothers, fathers, grandmother, grandfathers and extended families. Success by Michael R.

Standing on the precipice of fear and awe, We are creatures in wonder and uncertainty. We make all our heavens and hells. This edge of possibility, where we search uncharted interstellar dimensions, the wormholes and blackholes beyond our comprehension. Intelligent maker of such things, If it is evident anywhere, then, we are surely too small to know. Does it drift through space like an...

"Pleasure is the carrot dangled To lead the ass to market or the precipice" And when it is astutely angled It will its objective more than suffice How many have fallen for such a reward To find themselves embedded in ice While hoping for a lustful concord There comes no greater fall in a trice When tangled in such a honeyed...

Precipice
Who do I sing to when words fall on deaf ears? I hear a stampede in the distance, calling my name Do I not remember crimes foregone? I am nauseated by clueless guilt and shame When will it come time for me to stop running? I need not the precipice to heed my escape How have I not yet learned...

Please step away from the cliff edge Really, we need to talk, come sit by me Eric, we‘ve been through difficult times, but Can’t you see, jumping won’t solve anything I‘ll admit, I’ve been at rock bottom myself Perhaps that’s why I came up here today I considered ending it all, but then I saw you Come and hug me son,...

Steep, sharp, split, and, as an abandoned architecture, weak How I managed to get to its top, I truly don't know. Fear, frustration, angst, awe, and helplessness were at their peak. Over the sea beneath the cliffs, worn-out yachts slowly row. On whom should I put my faith at this hour of nullity? What a fool am I who could...

Rumi Quote "Doubt is a precipice on the way to God. Blessed is he who is freed from its bonds." __________________________________________ Walking toward the edge, facing a gray sky, Paradise magnificence is dazzling below. Goals are shrouded amid dense, rimy snow, Amid scarlet stones, serenading scary lullaby. Mountain summits...

Upon This Precipice of Change
upon this precipice of change where all must succumb hues of brown to orange to yellow where limbs become bare shadows dance in skeletons once bodies in fullness stood the air no longer needs temperament cooling a cold wind dances in, destiny unafraid and only the most hardy of those with wings sing in the early morning stillness feast at feeders, grow fewer in numbers it...

Premium Member Reaching the Precipice
Young man on the threshold, Which direction will you go? Are you bound for glory, Or is chaos now in tow? Each decision that you make, Molds the person you will be. Will copassion be your oath, Or is malice your decree? When you reach the precipice, You'll be perched upon a ledge. As you face the ups and downs, You will walk the razor's edge. Let...
