Love
is fragile eggshells
when it comes to visit,
and a jewel,
when it stays.
All it takes is time
to do the alchemy.
Form:
Not for me, i'm not going to buy it.!
I like multi-toned eggshells
Bad move guys cause
I will never..Ever boil
Poach scramble
Or fry it.)
The world is all askew.
We have been treading daily on eggshells.
The stress level is tangible.

quite tears unnoticed
eggshells crack under my feet
purple, black bruises
nagging guilt blinders
never-ending loneliness
fantasy love bond

Everything I do is for you forever and always not because I love you but because I'm constantly walking on eggshells waiting for the other shoe to drop just for you.
The canvas is blank; all blank
You could paint a picture of a plank
With a pirate on board,
That collects eggshells to hoard,
With some iron around his neck, going CLANK.
Starving little turtle
Cracked eggshells
Lost relationships
Broken dreams
Falling teeth
Death opens the door
Train departs from platform
No one
Waves of emotions
No more
Insides become hard-boiled.
Yolks and whites; fork them up.
Love in Miracle Whip.
Between slices - pickup.
We won’t step on eggshells;
Consensual crack up.
Pieces Increases
After eggshells, do step on their pieces;
Number of them increases and increases;
Purpose of uproar;
Not know what for?
For sure we hope you it always pleases.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Petals blush like dawn~
morning steals the lilies' scent,
soft as risen light.
Barefoot in the dew, I find
eggshells gleaming, sugar-cracked.
Always walking on eggshells
tip toeing around landmines;
Avoid being blown apart
the cracks weave into a web;
Desperate to make it through
a tricky dance with macabre;
Your thoughts suddenly explode.
Listen to poem:
how long can I
keep up this charade
be your buffoon
entertain your every whim
tiptoe this tightrope
you lined with eggshells
pretend everything’s cool
when deep inside
I’m slowly dying

Tip toeing on eggshells with a shut lip.
Crack, I heard. At my back I got a smack.
By daft accident I step on one. Why?
For spitefulness, I screamed and slammed the door.

just for funny I live alone :)
Sell my soul by the gram
empty on the inside
surrounded by ghosts
careful of my step
I walk on eggshells
around puddles of pain
suffocated by clouds of angst
in fear of tomorrow
and the consequence
today may bring
Form:
There were eggshells scattered all around
They were whole unbroken
There was I in the middle
Not a word was spoken
For I knew that if I uttered a sound
The eggshells would be shattered on the ground
(Can you guess what this means?)
Form:
AFRESH
SPARK IN THE DARK
CONTROL MY TONGUE
KISSES LIKE CANDY
WALKING ON EGGSHELLS
FRANTIC,
A PURPOSEFUL MENTION
MAGICAL
SEASONS CHANGE
ANEW
FEELING IN MY HEART
LISTLESS
GENTLE HANDS
SCRATCHING THE SURFACE
AWAKE
ALIVE
AGAIN.
Tiptoeing on eggshells
So the silence of mercy won’t be disturbed.
Hungry, I wait a tiny morsel.
Thirsty, I wait the morning dew.
Yet she looks,
Holding tight to her precious gift
That wills my soul
To keep yearning for it
Michael
On my toes since I met you
on my tippy tippy toes
just to get you,
like eggshells is your love
one toe wrong
and you'll fly like a dove
Away on my tippy tippy I go
for this love is a no show
A no no, Might break a toe
buried dark, daysky
shorn hair from Etain
pedestal opens
now walking eggshells
none will see her fall
welcome midnight
her profile's dab
with missing light —
phantasmic yolk.
foggy pane
more a face
watches glass;
half there
oval
pitch
A Teacher is an actor
who truly sets the tone
When they step into the classroom
students want to feel at home
not scared to say what's on their minds
or on eggshells about screaming ~
A teacher who befriends his class
infuses lives with meaning
weasel
whiplashing past my boots
flash of tan and cream
zipping
out of sight
chasing a rabbit - maybe
no death scream
no sound
of anything being torn to pieces
walk on a pace
a fleet rustle in the grass
it is hunting again
walking on eggshells
Breathing drawn, it’s cold as glass,
moonlight muffled; curtains cast,
eggshells fashioned out of ash,
crack them, this could be my last
walk inside the thin white line,
chance to choose to live or die,
answer all my questions why;
'cause if they’re not crazy,
then what am I?
I live around
people
who fail
to communicate
their big
emotions
and walk on
eggshells.
There are
so many
other things
for them to
fix and heal,
such as
their own
mental health.
Perhaps
my light
is why
I am mostly
happy and
my parents
are so
spiritually
unwell.
we laid the eggshells in a bed full of lilies
bold adventures
treading earth
senseless, barefoot, and wide-eyed
adjacent to the most beautiful pond
yet still choosing to walk on glass
still choosing to place salt in each other's wounds
still choosing to hurt
because there is nothing else to do
newly born sparrows
oval blue broken eggshells~
feathered brown and white
ready for take-off
mother watching from treetop~
first flight- crash landing
second flight better
siblings curiously watch~
empty- is the nest
