Double-Edged Sword

Life truly is a double-edged sword,
The grass is greener on what side of the fence?
Who knows,
But that is life …

Untitled #285 / a Shared Smile

Why must a shared smile and a high five
send ripples of pain shivering through my body?
Cringe, oh cringe, at the double-edged sword of desire!

Sharp Love

Tempered be thy heart 

Strengthened in the forge of life 

Love is double edged 

When wielded one must use care 

Not to cut on the back swing

Routinely and greenly masking ennui insanity

Amused

I’m amused
I have with me
a trophy
a red ripe tomato
a beautiful flower
a sharp thorn
a pendulum
a tick tock clock
a ping pong ball
a double-edged pin
my lost rib

Pretty Hair

Her eyes drip down scorn
Like pus from running sores
Every word edged and barbed
To rip and rend and tear
She lives to laugh at suffering
But oh she has such pretty hair

Construction worker Fred, never snotty
Boastful, self-righteous, or slightly haughty

                             chained recall 
                                                on sharp-edged of death!

Aching Love

ACHING LOVE 


Your love, 
Sharper than a double-edged 
Sword,
Cut my aching heart in two,
And now
Each part, twice is suffering   
For you!

Lakeside, Lying

Within this summer dream
Housed and bedded
Willow-arched, willow-awned
Buzz of cares slay.

Whilst that, cruel-edged, afar
As hard, no more
For city's hive shapes it.
Faded away.

Skis

Snowy week to test

Knife-edged thought of best.

In skiing's wunderlust

I was sure the skis would bust!

No, they were rock-sure,

Glittering more and more.

Two-Edged Sword

Time is a predator
seeking to take away
our precious moments
never to be replayed.

Time is a mender
of much that is bad
smoothing over the sharp edges
making the past seem better.

Dead

What more?
sure I have a tear
what for?
love a double edged sword
the loss
makes me bleed
over and over
again and again
I cling to yesterday
so that tomorrow
the torture will never end

On Edge

Listen to poem:
Swords have two sharp edges.
Knives have two, one is sharp,
the other blunt, till honed.
Cliffs like blades are 
one-edged glades, stoned.
But on edge, on a ledge
and stoned,
it's one-sided.

Glory of Nature

Rose
fragrance
sweetens air
birds chorusing
sun lit dappled glade
gold edged clouds overhead

Profuse floribundas
white petals tipped pink
wild columbine
creep tendrils
abloom 
tree
