Excerpts From the Edge

negative noise
   weighted chest
       arms extended
overhead
waiting for a
   falling breeze
to
   carry me over


To the Same River's Edge

not once but twice you still come here to the same river's edge to drink of me now that i know you name

The Double Edge

The tragedy of accident,
the wonderment of fate
imprisoning destiny
—on whose steps we wait

The Edge of Clouds

Sing loud,
I said
To the
Edge of clouds
Red cheeks
That blush
Captures this crowd
Run free, as the wind,
To the edge of clouds

On the Edge

Dirty hands and dirty hearts,
Dirty tricks and poison darts, 
All stripped down and used for parts. 
On the edge is where life starts.

Premium Member At the Edge

at the edge

at the edge 
of the earth 
there is no south.

nine thousand feet of ice
covers the last seed
does it still abide?

Upon the Water's Edge

Sitting quietly,
Upon the water's edge,
Swimming in the watercolors of my mind,
Rush of waterfalls,
Cleanse sendimentary thoughts...

The Edge of Greatness

Time living On the The edge Of greatness Letting history Extend her hands shall sharpen the sword to victory

The Edge of the Moon

Copper face
Codfish leaping 
From your
Plate
Nipping at
The edge of
The sweet
Blue moon
Ascending
Back to
The eternal
Dark wine sea

Premium Member the real edge of tomorrow

Now retired and set for this life
I'll hang in the kitchen with wife
Am I paranoid?
She seems so annoyed
It scares me when she grabs a knife

The Double-Edge

Humanities coin two sided,
on the front eternal life

On the back annihilation
—on its edge we balance fright

Sumptuous sublime,
                                    Honey layered textured sky.
                                       Waves caress the shore.

Premium Member Cast on the edge

There's stillness in the air.
A silence hovers heavy in the distance.
Reigns an uncertainty of what's to come.

Past the River's Edge

meandering, float me
’round streaming twisting river bends
circumvent fluid horizons 
past sculptured skyline silhouettes
carry to hearth and home

Brit's spy guy from Ian Fleming
Is Bond who goes chaos stemming!
When the web of life slumps
See how quickly he jumps 
Sadly to die like a lemming

The Edge

Standing on the precipice
The edge of this life
The end of this path
Of this legend-less map
From the ledge, it's a sight
Take another step?
I just might

On the Edge of a Dream

Sunlight on the sea
A beautiful reflection
Here I stand alone 
Thinking about yesterday
And remembering her love

The Edge of Tomorrow

A Poet sits on the edge of tomorrow,
 waiting for today

Notebook in hand, new words to command
—what time has yet to say
