Full speed ahead 
in and
for the spot light
resting between the breaths
waiting for the next 
until 
the final rest.

Poem, January 2022

A bit of rhythm
A bit of rhyme
A stream of consciousness
That sounds as it should
Over breaths of time.

Though our bodies are made of earth,
Our lives sustained by water,
Our breaths created by air,
Truth is we are essentially fire...

Inspect, I will act. Tough I'll on mercy.
Proceedings switch the color of your face,
taking breaths, piercing masses on the course.

Autumn leaves encase
A ground once caressed by heat
Tread carefully here
Beneath your feet animals
Are hiding from winter’s breath

Lost Words

Wind howling
like deep uncontrollable breaths; 
Minds fill with the unconscious words
everyone is thinking but
no one is....

Take a Breath

draw in many breaths

pure crisp cotton snowy air

jagged peaks beckon

snare young and old to challenge

death defying runs of ice

We take a deep breath

Hold it for a while, exhale

No more breaths allowed!

Breathe

Fast, fast as it comes 
It arrives, never leaves 
Looping, no end or beginning in sight 
Frozen in place yet moving 
Deep breaths

How do men draw their last breaths?
A thousand men - a thousand deaths.
Yet, this Dodger fan, one man am I,
knows a thousand ways to die.

Night In Your Eyes

Dark nights in your eyes
Twist hair to the flaming breaths
Oh! I can't stop kissing you.

Conversations With a Knife

No purpose in silence,
with these breaths becoming
iron, my sharpest edges
unfurl the curtain, shredding
the flesh of solitude,
with violence.

Gentle Breaths of Night

Gentle breath of night
Passing silent by moonlight;
Scattered pages that
Fly through faded horizons,
Dark rainbow flares, starlit sights...
Form: Tanka

Limbo

What remains beyond
lingering breaths, the silence
where laughter once lived?

I wait, counting the number
of days since last you kissed me.

Premium Member Thought of the Day

We recall not the breaths gone by
Why then do desires make heart sigh
Making us a dead man walking
Can we not kiss ego goodbye

Mountain

Foggy breaths reach ever so gently

Twirling and bending

Around the crannies of trees

Every nook was filled with

Her precious, pure, air

Premium Member My Life's Breathing Account

Each day breaths withdraw

From my life's breathing account--


My balance...unknown!

waiting for the i love you

squandered time and wasted breaths 
conflicted feelings soothed with a kiss
round and round and round again  
i think the problem is that i love him

Premium Member Her Last Breaths

Asphyxiating one breath at a time
Oxygen levels not worth a dime
Gasping for breath
A step closer to death
We will soon hear her funeral bells chime
