Short Edging Poems

Need leverage as I hang onto
Edging of immense energy....

Humble deepening
Brown edging a delayed rush
The sunlight shifts calm...

Patches
parched yellow-brown
edging across the lawn
where lily petals lie time worn-
asleep....

The clouds are edging,
Teasing us with drops of rain,
Sun upon our backs.

Sorrow and heart ache
Rebuffed, rebuked, pushed away
Edging on Nasty

Bad feelings surround and stun
Marriage done, over, kaput...

The darkness seeps wet
stains on tissues of regret
inked pores secrete rain.
A blurred dust of pain
edging storm clouds all absorb
the hail of the Lord....

Ones pillar of strength
Edging towards it's flower
On reaching their join
Rich scented petals in bloom
Where the stem and the Rose meet

white on white piercing 
green shoots of blades prevailing 
a wintry edging 

ice crystals thawing 
thriving snowdrops replenished 
spring’s intimacy...

edging to his home -
the sea - lone beach comber risks
life unknowingly


Here is a horrible haiku for ya, Ironic! Hope you hate it!

Listen to poem:

Edging close to brink,
I dare not look back nor blink.
Been here many times
before, but always slipped back,
losing grip in the leg-up.

Cerise clouds
picot
the mallows
edging 
a wafer
of earth.

Distant mallards
volute the evening,
wainscot
the vault
of season--
a lattice
of lavalieres
mulling a sky
blanched as gin....

feel the hedge the dunnock had slept
its lines a scribble toddlers had drawn
he nested in a pen test on scrap paper
edging fields in barbed wire branches
sleep static acrobats on frozen trapeze...

A camera chasing starlit cowboy

With his permanent Polaroid entrance

Eyes sweeping the paparazzi parade

Movie-dust circles his still silhouette

Extras edging in the dimming shadows

Of his passing left-over soft shining...

The life of a carved pumpkin reigns
In the night it glows very supreme

Edging the ends of the light inside
Glowing face to gleam on those near

A great Halloween piece that lives
Deep within my heart to shine all night

A bottle of pills

A bottle of pills
Rest on my nightstand
Taunting
As their poison
Seeps through the container.

Starring 
With tears in my eyes
Slowly edging 
Towards my end.

The cap
Soon comes off and onto the floor
Medication rest 
In my hand
Slowly lifting 
To my mouth....

Come with me lovely girl let your beauty unfurl
put your trust in me and together we will be
spend the night I promise i will hold you tight
let me trace the perfect edging of your face
move with the motions everything will fit into place
the deed is done and later you see
Im everything you hoped I wouldnt be...

Through the edging of the night
he was there 
steadfast and strong
teetering at the tip of her thought
a yearning to be
allowed 
to become undone
through the hallowed 
the wanting
the waning
until the rise of a new lit sun
for night was her day
and he held her young
through it all
ancient echoes still sung...

Place yourself in my heart and
Open your mind.
EVENTUALLY you'll realize
To open the dark blinds.
Revel in INFUSION

Yearn for a touch
Put away the INEVITABLE 
Awaken ILLUSION oh so much.
Lounge with CREATIVITY 
Arrive at desire
Cancel the cloudiness
Edging past the fire.

The woven fabric of my life for years has only known such strife.
An empty pocket with no hope.
Put the last knot on the rope.
Edging toward the final ledge.
Still hoping for a bet to hedge.
The clock is ticking loud and clear.
Reminding me the time is near.
Yet leaves me wondering,who will shed a tear?

I googled peace 

to get the feel of how 

she fared 

and

found her fight her

roughened way into 

men's bosoms and 

fortresses

and shuttle back

and forth 

between heaven 

and 

heavy hearts 

 
* * *

and then…

and then I browsed 

for war 

and with a gaping eye 

I watched 

the endless edging of a khaki  

garb 

and Oh the omnipresence...

O! Sweetness let me trick you
Into a dark corner soaking wet
Extruding saliva within desire
As tongue to caresses thy skin
Edging you around into yields
Moans, cries in soft teeth bites
Busted sacks sucked in erotica
Censured ecstasy in thy divide
Expel hardness, refined focus?

On temptation in fissured rapture’s
Seek another juicy plum to capture....

The journey of life is not a competition
We stand alone as we run our individual race
edging slowly and steadily towards a certain transition 
Everyone with a different strategy and pace 

When we eventually arrive at our live’s end 
It won’t matter how swift the race was done 
But how we fared through every bend
Fulfilling the destiny for which we were born...

I am being
Sensations of the softest cloth
Tickling senses sensually I
Carelessly surrender to a 
Presence of one hundred  thousand
Hungry souls taken over me
No longer wearing my essence
Stationed along the edge of time
Praying for infinite blessings
Here I will cease to be edging unto
The ETERNAL  this eternal 
This hunger and hope this BEING
IMMORTALITY....
