I journey through the Everglades.
Gators cut through the water like blades....

words cut through; stinging
no other sound but your voice

the snow came today...

darkness is still looming 
as bright headlights cut through 
watching you enter house...

Lord,
Grant me
These clouds
That I may
Cut through
Them swiftly with
Blessed wings...

Weaving through
the gum trees
the ghosts
of aboriginal stockmen
cut through
the dust
and years....

Euphoria
is the sun within us
that empowers everyone to
cut through the darkest melancholy
and obliterate chains
before they can reach anyone...

The dyed bamboo of Chinese finger traps
Should have taught me everything

To strive is to cut through jungle
To surrender is to know
I am jungle...

Music dances off the page
Flowing through me
Through my instrument

The notes cut through the air
And sit in the minds
Of anyone who will listen...

Smoke gray owl
Deceives her pray
When silent wings
Cut through  
These pines
Hands of death 
Weave in and out
This hallow ground
Oasis in this dark...

slices of deep night

cut through heart's embittered walls---

Dove's light passes by

You whispered. 
And ragged butterflies bled into the earth, 
Grasshoppers cut through clouds, 
And in mounds, roses grinned their jagged teeth
Quietly tucked in satin....

I felt your pain when I cut through your veins.
I'm the sentimental type, so I cry everyday at night.
No lie, I'm just another kid looking for a purpose in this place called life....

Fair Ware and Tare

Golf courses will have ways that are fair;
Rivers cut through due to ware and tare; 
Must be saying, 
Here much golf playing; 
Does anyone have an eagle they can spare....

Grotesque
tall
neurons
sprout into the sky
screaming anarchic omniscience

Green
gold
pulses
in
incandescent eruptions

Hot
humorless
jagged
rocks cut through
omniscient anarchy

Shafts of brilliant light
Cut through limbs and boughs of blue
Seeking solitude.

A scare lounged deep within the hall,
As shadows danced along the wall.
A piercing ray cut through the night,
Yet filled the air with chilling fright.
A whisper stripped the place so bare,
But left a deeper dread to share....

I want the summer storm
with rolling dark clouds
and the sound of crashing thunder

I want to watch
streaks of flashing
lightening cut through
the sky like a knife
and feel the breeze
of pelting rain
as it hits the pavement...

At the library
Cruising
@mypoetry
And it pales
In comparison
With what I can do
Cut through the
Bull probability
That we can control
The weather and
All these homes lost
Aching souls
In the biggest
Cover up and fail...

Steampunk bunny has an attitude
that can cut through a park and land on a wall
Motorized with gears that are tricky,
he is about seven feet tall.
He is a bit arrogant, but I admire his gall.
He makes decisions quickly, never does stall....

Deep memories cut through eyes' glassy frame
deer -on -the- loose hides on shrubs
while I follow its trail

How swift the disappearing of shadow
meshing with green foliage
Like my hasty choices

I see a river - within you -
with full of twists and turns

Younger you, cut through my tender heart -
to fall all over me

Come of age, you meander - 
to split your love among children

as cities blossom
in the name of man’s progress. . .  
a burning woodland

as new roads cut through
mammals’ migratory trails. . . 
a lone gnu’s death cry

Smile as the world hates you.
Watch the knife cut through.
Identical slashes on your cheeks,
Infected and hurting for weeks and weeks.
Making a smile on your face,
Dripping blood all over the place.
Smile through the pain,
You know we will cut you again....

The silence of the cynical still
Could certainly cut through the strangest steel,
The raging echo of the crying fear
Sinfully freezes up my tranquil fiery thrill.

Twinge of feelings stir in my bosom
every time your eyes meet mine
reminding me of the scars of our walk
leaving trails of bitterness within
How I wish to show you
how deep your knives cut through my soul
yet you only end up seeing 
how much can my heart bleed for yours...
