fear, embarrassment
to bare myself publicly
in style and essence
diving into the deep end
to dwell in a new realm - plunge!

Summer Swimming Pool

Deep end diving; shallow end Fear.
Barbecue host and nobody near.
Crystal, shimmering; fish to eat. . .
Lounge chair Dolphin wets her feet.

Dimensons of Dimensia

If a thing is three feet past the deep end, six feet over the breaking point, and
somewhere in the area of your mind, then welcome to the club. You have lost your mind.

Float

I dive in the deep end
down deep too long
my skin starts to tingle
water burns my lungs
not a strong swimmer
as I come up and choke
I can't swim back
but I can float
so I float

The Deep End of Celebrity

The waters cold and unforgiving here
I breathe nothing but a deluge of fear
	'Tis a shame to blame
	The end of my rising fame
On tracked veins drowning my career

Granny has found a new trend
 With unseen waves to contend
 Ironing board skurfing
  And living room surfing
 Granny's gone off the deep end!

Deep End

So I guess Im at the deep end,
I said the wrong things,
So I will end up alone,
Again,
Cold,
Stranded,
I am,
But there's is nothings to worry about,
Since Im a guy,
Its easy to move on,
Without you.

Messages To Trump

Several messages to Trump we should send;
Sure seems to be rigid and never will bend;
Atrocious had been,
Again and again;
Does need to go and jump off the deep end.

how still is our silence, hermit if we yet calibrate merit searching, discerning and seeking inadvertent acts, soul stifling far cry yet, tranquil calm perfect 12-July-2021

Tisket Tasket and True Love

Tisket, Tasket and Then True Love

Tisket then tasket and true love
Best line I wrote was up above
Better at writing started to grow
Now best line I wrote was below
Then into deep end had to dove.

Whirlpooling

Whirl-pooling,
pullin me down,
tryin to swim,
only to drowned.
Tears into deep waters.
Pools of ink.
I need a life raft?
Pull me out?
I'm gonna sink.
Jumping off,
Diving in,
Wasn't ready for the deep end.

Slam the World Is Not Out To Get You

The World is not out to get you !

You Are !

Or has it not been you ??

Who has brought yourself ??

Thus Far ?

Only you steering, driving this wreck
Car crash
Off the deck into the deep end
My Wizened Friend

Just when you think it's enough 
Incredible flutters fill your stomach;
Time to jump right into the deep end,
Taking your time will not bring peace;
Everything will be ok, use the energy;
Remember to remain calm;
Serenity tames the nervous.

Echo

Words in the valley       
Flies like an agile osprey      
Grasping my senses        

Words became thicker
A leaf falls as trees shudder     
Easing my numbness

Calls from the deep end
Caused words to scramble and bend
Devoured by darkness
Form: Haiku

Solid Foundation

There's a great sensation,
Having a solid foundation.
You can jump in the deep end,
Chances rippling in every direction.
Choosing One,
Riding the wave in.
It's a lesson or a blessing,
Landing on a solid foundation,
You stand to jump in again.

Depletion Sweep

LOVE RIDDEN
I SWALLOW
MY DIGNITY
FADE INTO THE CORNER
MAKE MY WAY
AROUND THE CIRCLE
A CAROUSEL OF REGRETS
FACE THE MUSIC
I'M BLINDED
BY YOUR CHARM
IN LOVE WITH LOVE
HOPEFUL
BUT I'VE HEEDED NOTHING
LOST IN YOUR EYES
I FELL INTO THE DEEP END.

Deep End

When I am pulled underneath
When shadows call forth
Where do I go?

I can’t catch my breath
As I feel the current
slip me further to the end.
Like the descending flicker of a candle wick
Darkness sinks in
Branding my soul
as blackness burns beneath.

Incoherent Ramblings

incoherent ramblings 
of an emotionally scared
heart that is 
hesitant to jump back
into the emotional 
deep end 
halting encounters 
in order to protect 
the heart from 
further injury 
is now were the 
line has been drawn 
within the sands of 
time

"HE's GoNe OFf ThE DEeP ENd!"

I Hear You Might Say...

The Deep End Is
Wayyyy Too Scary...
For Me.

I Don’t Come Up
Fast Enough...
I Can't Breath
Under There.

Yeah, Yeah...
Weakness Comes
From Necessity,
Like Vulnerability
Leads To Sensitivity.

F-Off. OOOPS!

Old Dog, Buster

My old dog was yellow
and a good fellow
but died mellow

If I some how see him again
I will know then
that everything will be zen

But for know I cry
because I have to apply
that my dog said goodbye

I know how
becauseI had to allow
that he got put down now

Buster was my best friend
but his end
left me in the deep end

The Deep End

He stepped into the deep end
Lost control of his own free will
Lost the ability to see, feel and smell the sweet roses
That lay on the ground by the house that is now falling apart
Where there used to be children, happiness, courage
Where there used to be LIFE
But now there is nothing,
Nothing but the sweet roses that lay on the ground

Shallow end

Why do we mingle in the shallow end.
Yet allow ourselves to drown in the deep end.
Why do we allow ourselves to put
our guard down when it should be up.
Why do we allow ourselves to
Continue to fall for simple words.
My heart is blocked and sealed.
My walls are up and no longer
Want to feel.
I want to be numb to everything
And everyone.

Sunny Daze

I gasp with my mouth open
But it's much too dry to drool
It feels like I just jumped off
The deep end of an empty pool

The sun beats down upon me
A vial abomination
I may have to fall and crawl
To reach my destination

I've been pushed to the limit
As the sweat runs down my neck
That was quite a marathon
From the back yard to the deck!

Peppermint Tea

A tongue to be satisfied
Ice cream, from a light purse.
A choice to receive breeze
Or be embraced in a chilled, dark room.
A fight to be remembered 
Or a fall towards the deep end.
I strike the gavel in favor 
Of my bad guys
I silenced my Angel.
I chose an answer that melts
with Spring's winds,
rather than my preserved tea leaves—
My Peppermint.
