Premium Member Sloppy Girls

Ate a sandwich with tomato sauce
my shirt left stained with a crisscross;
Noticed it after the fact 
no way to put on an act;
Sloppy girls gorge food like a boss.

Premium Member The Rolling Stones

The Rolling Stones
  Gather no moss
Not with Mick Jagger
  Their peripatetic boss

They travel first-class
  Partake of the sauce
As the globe they crisscross

Sipping the finest liquers
  ~ Discarding the dross

Premium Member Get Real About Fuel

Aloft in once pure blue,
form strings of yellow hue -
pollutant see-o-two.

Man's abuse going on.
Dumping fossil carbon.
More filthy pollution.

Six miles up it is seen.
The sky a crisscross scene 
from tax free kerosene.

The Beach

crisscross clouds
leave unseen tracks

warm sands 
ruffle velvet shoals

ocean sprays
release salty tears

fine pebbles 
squeeze wrinkled soles

sapphire waves
grind sparkling glass

supple limbs
explore hazy shores

Crisscrossing

by Michael J Falotico


                                                  wiggling toes touch..
                                          ankles crisscross and hug tight..
                                                thighs cover and melt..

Premium Member Like Silver Birds

I watch the ribbons of the silver birds crisscross the sky as raindrops from my soul roll gently down my cheeks I gave you all the love I had to give and yet like silver birds in sky above you flew away

In Your Loss I'Ve Lost Myself

Chances were taken
    In your loss I've lost myself
        I still choke on your regret
Crisscross not straightened
    Stop hiding under my shelf
        You carried so much neglect

Life To Crisscross Path

Life
the journey of dream,
mixed of illusion and reality

truth- a delusional power!

in  love
the life is
flying to
goalless destination 

Wonderfulness
is standing 
by the side of all crossing

Welcome
to the crisscross 
weaved breathing

My Day

Nature looks weary abut the boom gate
Like a faithful prostitute dun for her pay
With hand on cheek, the other wave way

By ageless sky con beloving gaze
And Sam to Delilah, a giant betrayed
 In boneless bliss, made Achilles to heel

What fate the peep to me had brought? 
When time..., yet permits me to decide  
To crisscross between heaven and earth. 
©Yusuf, A.O.?

Premium Member Sunday Evening Stretches

Sunday evening stretches and yawns
  drowsy as a tender fawn
Who frolics and plays throughout the day
  then curls up midst leaves to lay

While sleep overspreads her dewy head
  constellations crisscross above her head
How sweetly angels sing in her soft ears
  a moonstruck smile o'er her lips appears


     ~ Sweet dreams, everyone! ~

The View Through Your Eyes

kept apart by pure polarity
you inspire my solidarity
I can't touch you lest I die
still you're living in my eye

oh dear nearly child of mine
how I find you 
more than fine
reaching out to crisscross
stars
to gather gumdrops
and guitars

as the turning world grows 
older I feel you standing
on my shoulder
watch the bright parade
go by
and share your view
with my mind's eye

Premium Member Metamorphosis

words lay eggs on paper.
           in time,
they break their prison shells,
          crawl out,
        eat and fatten

but may sneak out like hermits
           meditate 
     in the hard crusts 
           of silence

at the end of Metamorphosis,
        they flit round
        like butterflies
 
moving in crisscross patterns
           before our 
        perceptive eyes!

Premium Member Unspeakable Love

No one knows the higher heights to which their love had climbed Or how their simultaneous thoughts, fluidly flow Required replies to queries crisscross from minds in sync And countless compliments and sweet gentle gestures, he lays upon her heart Popular redundant rhetoric, now unnecessary is made extinct by…unspeakable love ~*~

Premium Member The Norn

neath the tree sat a norn
one of three, shears in hand
crowned in nature’s floral fare
and wisps of ancient silvered hair

she has no care of god or man
no interest in some scriptured plan
bad and good have equal weight
when measured in the hands of fate

haggard with majestic grace
timeless lines crisscross her face
she’ll give no clue, no reason why
just cut your line when time to die

Premium Member Sea Minuet

Sea Minuet

Prima donna restless surf
Dance on shoreline turf
Crash to augmented beat
Trip light fantastical fleet

Pirouette high and low
Gracefully curtsy, as you go
Effervescent tutu foam
Crisscross silt return home

Sea of melodious minuet
Garner stars in silhouette
Highest regards to deep blue
 Keen tis moon to ensue

Reflections of stars on glass
Shimmer at ballerina pass
Chaotic tis waters rebuff
Beauty tis never enough

Premium Member I Stand Here

I stand here with every step of my life etched in crisscross lines beneath these
well worn feet. 

Well worn feet that have carried me for seven decades and three years more
through pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, on a path of  adversity that couldn't conquer me.

I stand here today...a  tenacious and contented soul with my mission nearly complete... close to the end of the road where earth and heaven meet.
