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

That you could ever hold me
So near
And listen to my words closely
So dear
To you I must be
I fear

A bit of paper
           blown high
Lone gull    in an empty sky

Ten thousand others    close by

Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone

Wristband

A wristband man
followed me closely
jogging

I imagine he will try
to grab me, stuff me
in the bushes any 
minute

He just runs, wheezing
on.

squirrels running up tree 
naughty cats in hiding spots 
I know where to look

that snuggles us closely in place

when jerking spouse flies me thru space.

What's the Cost

pair of swans conjoin
                                      ducklings trail closely behind

Behind This Door

I found something
Closely hidden
Behind a door
That says; forbidden

Behind this door
A room full of mystery
Unknown desires
Ready to become history

Mental insanity
And Christianity
Aren’t really synonyms,
Most of the time.
Still, it’s befitting
(The reader permitting)
To notice how closely they rhyme.

Premium Member It's your move

listen closely
you'll hear it too

something deep inside
is suffocating
trying to survive

struggling
gasping for air

The Silent Breath

Do you hear that
Listen very closely 
It’s so loud and deafening
Now that’s what true silence is
Now do you feel that
The breath you were unconsciously holding fade away.

To the Third Power

If God speaks to you,
listen closely to the word;

If the Lord touches you,
be blessed and heart-stirred;

If the Holy Spirit breathes on you,
take in all that is heard.

That river seemed to flow
Forever
A never ending stream of
Life
Eternally telling your story
I listened closely
But could only hear 
The water dripping
Into place

Premium Member Clouds

Clouds have formed overhead.
Clusters in shades of grey.
Cautious of heavy rain,
Causing deep floods again.
Catastrophic weather.
Closely stay together.
Covered under shelter.
