What Is Love

Love
is fragile eggshells 
           when it comes to visit,
and a jewel,
        when it stays.

All it takes is time
to do the alchemy....

Insecure Attachment

quite tears  unnoticed
eggshells  crack under my feet
purple, black bruises

nagging guilt blinders 
never-ending  loneliness  
fantasy love  bond

The Knife Behind My Back

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

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....

No Smile

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...

Pieces Increases

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.

Eggshells

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....

Walking On Eggshells

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.

The Dealer

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...

Shattered

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?)...

First Again

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....

Paradoxical

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

On My Toes

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...

How Long

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

A Teacher Is An Actor

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

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

Rhetorics

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?...

Stress

Anxiety;
the fate that draws life near to me,
stretching out my palms to understand the emptiness
of my propriety.
Some rushing knuckles
through roots and eggshells,
but no gold dug,
just the fleet of mud.
I'll sprout a wrinkle
and regret the day
I let my wits run with anxiety....

Barefoot

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...
