frosty windowpanes

icy wind whistles through cracks -

breathy fog rises

Trapdoor

... lightning cracks sky's core

             darkness slams down like trapdoor

             all quiet, once more ...

Thyself

know thyself
keep off the shelf
plot the essence of thy life
avoiding cracks of strife
then with thee shall walk an elf

Premium Member Serpent

Slipping through the cracks
Seeping into the underground
Slithering through tunnels 
Cyclical inconvenience resurfaces

Heartstrings

Thin ice cracks
Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice.

Yesterday lingers, 
still a not-yet-memory,
today waits to start. 
I’m sleepless at 3 a.m.,
adrift in the cracks of time.

Impromptu

while waxing
my guitar
to make it
look better 
then it sounds
i found
the body
like mine
had lots
of finishing
cracks

Ego between stints -
narcissistic derelicts
scope the classifieds.
Vanity cracks masked mirrors -
Arrogance need not apply.

Hot Spot

Cold
The bottle sweats.
Frail
The ice inside cracks.
Thick
The water runs
Down my throat
Quenching my thirst
So cold, 
It hurts.

Dead Heat

Fell through cracks pink slipped
His mirth sending her sweet home
Aglow in dead heat

Let In More Light

Let in this love 
Let in this light
Bring peace
My love
Be still 
This night
These cracks
In our soul
Must let in more light

A Hot Breakfast

Desire beats down
cracks my lip
splits it open
like legs in wanting
The taste of iron turns sweeter
with every bite of the apple

Premium Member melting nights


July's
melting nights
stars dripping silver
puddles of clandestine heat
seeping into the scant cracks of summer shade

Premium Member A Lived Heart

‘tis said by some...
Perhaps
  the only way
Man lets   God
  come inside  
be through  the holes and cracks 
  of a lived heart.

No Worries

A dam cracks open,
no water,
no flood.

Mourning doves coo on,
dry feathers.

Once more a high tide
sweeps away
nothing at all.

Absentminded

Today I dropped words

between cracks in the pavement:

half-written screenplays.

My muse, a cappuccino,

conjures romance while I sip.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dawn cracks the lake's skin~ two herons stab silver, rise winter still clinging
Form: Haiku

Treasures

High tide, the waves crash anew
Like geysers out cracks waters spew
Cleansing all that's been subdued
Treasures, rainbows bring in view!
Form: Rhyme

Presence

my heart hums
love I won’t confess—
close, she glides,
a lone shade,
pressing palms against my skull—
where ancient pain cracks.
Form: Shadorma

Query

Cracks teacher's query.
Blue eyed girl smiles at me; bliss 
bells ring in my heart.

Through the Hidden Cracks

faith
is
where
all the light
slips
through
the
hidden cracks
that
dwell in the soul
thus
revealed
to 
the 
everlasting faithful

Autumn's Reprise

Sipping love's velvet
In orange yellow cracks..
Swept and red tale's tilting 
Through times, bronzed quills
Poetry seasons fables lore; vieta.

Premium Member Lightning Cracks

lightning cracks outside

thunder rolls across the sky

rain comes pounding down

Summer leaves us with a storm

tonight I'll sleep like a babe

Where The Light Comes From

where
the
light comes 
from
is
through
the
cracks
inside
your 
soul
and
still
i
am sure
this
is
where 
the 
light comes from
