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

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!

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

trust is expensive
love is dangerous
loyalty is double-edged
so to live happy on earth
trust, love, obey yourself
otherwise world is filled
with nonsense

Manicured blown dry trimly edged attempt at normal urbanity
Routinely and greenly masking ennui insanity
As trees laugh together eyeing my new rake
I think about snow

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

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
They laid him to rest

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!

Epigram
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.

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.

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.

Indecisiveness,
Life seems a double edged sword,

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

Rose
fragrance
sweetens air
birds chorusing
sun lit dappled glade
gold edged clouds overhead
Profuse floribundas
white petals tipped pink
wild columbine
creep tendrils
