When I Visited a Mountain Temple In Korea

Shadows on the valley floor
Appear with the rising sun
Pine trees cling to the steep slopes
Over boulders a stream runs

After failing, they cling to changing facts by terror and thunder.

our sadness
not to know the power of now
beyond toys and stars
we cling to our last breath song
held so silently in the now

Premium Member He Forgives

He forgives what I cannot.
What I hold on to,
He's forgot.

What I cling to He sets free,
For what I cling to,
Clings to me.

Holding on to me too tightly
Having you cling to me closely
Helping you not to tightly squeeze
Hoping you would let me breathe.

It’s Jack Frost . . . 
The land around is snow embossed.
For warmth, spouses
Cling to each other in closed houses.

Clairaudient Claire clambered to cling to her cliquish closeted clan
Clutching cloistered clues, clarifying a clumsily closed clergyman.

I Left

I 
Left
The old 
Weary way,
Now I cling to the
Old rugged cross where Jesus died
Laying down my heavy luggage of lies, loss and lust

So Delicate a Thing

So delicate a thing is this,
To touch a hand, or try a kiss;
Then cling to love, or let it be...
To forever hold, or set it free.

Turn On

Painful light, short breath
Will not allow me to sleep
Sheets damp with night sweat
Cling to my back as I stir
But my bed will not have me

When It Comes

I will call for my care-giver,
ramble.  Apologize for the piss.
Tremble at the thought,
cling to hope -
disgrace myself,
just as you will.

Longing For the Fall

Every year trees shed their leaves
Which carry their pain and worries
I m but a strange sort of tree
my leaves increses but remain cling to me

melting from intensive heat

My love for you is an ivy
You the trellis on which it grows
You hold it up
Keep it contained
You'll never let it fall
I cling to you
You are my trellis

surely wisdom of our soul has grown dim ~
we first create a god, then worship him

when we are reborn in another realm ~
new illusions we cling to overwhelm

Hello how are you
I know its been awhile
But these take time
To work their way out
But still in my heart
I cling to you
And I have no idea
What to do

Vines cling to rusted rails
Glider, in crusted red
Sometimes there are loose nails
Faded and worn by time
Only hearts can accept
How destiny travails

Year's End

The last days
cling to the year
like late leaves
to the oak trees.

Every song
is a goodbye.

Time’s tired steps
echo hollow
in the deserted birds nests.

Poverty

The poverty

The stigma of poverty is like coal dust.
Cling to us no soap can clean away
We don’t know if we are welcome.
Look into the eyes, do we see aversion?

The sun rises each day
even though I am experiencing
crushing grief, I can see it and
cling to the hope that one day
seeing a new day begin 
will bring me joy again

Premium Member Clingy

I’ve never know
A love so true
And never did I mean
To cling to you
But I’m holding this
Love inside
Until it explodes
Inside of you
But you say I’m clingy
Wtf to do
