Razor Sharp Edge

Men in my life have had a razor sharp edge

Got me feeling' like I'm on the edge of a mountain 

And there is an old billy goat up there with me

And I can see the sky as a vision of the future

So soapy, sudsy blue

And I can see that brick home with cut out hearts of the white wood porch

Yeah, me thinking of you Capricorn us

Another one gave me his razor to use a d since then I've had the blues

Talk about a razor sharp edge in and out of the bed

Things very much cleared up

Razor Sharp

When Jesus Christ was, "Sir Come Sized"
His mum said, "That was ill-advised!
In a pinch
One more inch
Can certainly be organised!"

Razor-Sharp Diamond Whispers

“I mean you no harm.”

The visitor says as his glasses reflect black

Skin torn snake sin

Razor-sharp diamond whisper

-s (an apple falls through the branches)

of the tree they write

a world on fire 

bathed in iris pain

Black

Hole

( remember the war—is in stone—the net fishes men—write him back—in the pulsing word of life)…

					I can see it…
 
& this thing sent off course the night
& a return to a bathed civilization

					In light…

A new-born calf staggers to the ground.


Razor Sharp

Blue butterscotch moon shines on pale lemon merangue pie.
     Dry roasted peanuts in a jar, close to where I lie.
Red, green, and blue ice in a bottle, now I won't be dry.
     Flip flops walking on a sandy beach, makes me want to fly.
Need to swim at least 10 laps before noon at the "Y".
     Making love on roller coasters, gives me such a high.
So many things that I have done,  continue to make me cry.
     Anything you want to do, you only have to try.
Need to get things done you see, before I up and die!
     And when you read this little poem, you're going to make a sigh....
What are the real deep meanings here that will make you say "my, my"
     If you can grasp the meaning, know it's far beyond the sky!

Razor Sharp

Words,

claimed me,

the speaker did not,

he/she only intended,

they seem to come from there,

hurled fast and reaching me here,

hell !quite a lot,

of our lives,

ends,

on words.


Which are razor Sharp.
I wished I had the power to blunt them full.
Wished all of you had similar powers!
