I don’t want
You to falter
I don’t want
You to fail
And most of all
I don’t want
To lose you
To this world

Although unaware,
I was held and realized
the joy of the ground.
Spinning world, we won't falter
here, in more than a theory.

The bird sang a melodic tune
As the world around her
Fell to ruin
Didn't falter - Didn't cry
Even though she knew
She was going to die

Time can falter, time can drag,
Time: send me to hell and back.
Your mocking hands will brand your face,
For I know love you can’t erase.

Quicksand hope hollow inside,
deranged dreams subside.
Shaky footsteps falter,
hourglass sands capture.
Life loses the prop.

Heartshaped chrysalis
Hanging by a thread of faith
From the tree of dreams,
Swung by the winds of falter
It clings on, wishing to live

fate fractures
family fades
footsteps falter
forsaken
fragile
fearful
yet faith fuels
fortifies
frees
fallen, faithful, forward

The untended plant
withers away, leaf by leaf ~
a time of indifference.
Why do we falter,
poised at the divine altar,
blaming it on gravity?

in life’s dream
our response
measures us
love’s the way
to ascend
don’t falter
let our touch
be gentle
every time

Waiting only forces the old wounds open -
suffer, silent, pray that the guards will falter,
standing vigilant at mistrusting doorways;
ego, their master.

Sapphic stanza
sit up straight
stand up tall
never falter
never fall
stay in school
make the grades
never fail
be a hero
be a star
be everything
but what you are

What keeps you in the running
Is the race and not the prize.
Though you falter—even fall
With the winner seizing all—
The loser is the one who never tries.

It was a hot day
Anne brought her dog to the beach
So both could cool off
Both went into the water
They did not falter

Life is a journey of endless miles.
Paths that are taken
With footsteps that falter all the while
Mean other paths are forsaken.
So new life might awaken.

The Queen gave birth to a daughter
A Queen who had lived without falter
The King desired a son
This was known to everyone
As the Queen was led to the slaughter

were it not
for conscience
we’d falter
it’s then strange
we ignore
soul’s whispers
could it be
that mankind
fears the light

our stuporous awareness
determined to co-create
is quite prone to falter
doublethink the thought
this time from the heart
using love as a compass

Hands falter, shaking.
I long to tell you, to speak.
Will you ever know my love?
You blush beside me.
I’m waiting for you, move first.
Love for you ever patient.

The relentless
don't settle for quiet
when their creativity
is blossoming.
They may encounter
crevices and falter.
Yet, their soul
will corrode any
indifference.

I'll show you all,
I'll answer the call,
I wont fall,
I will stand tall.
I wont falter,
I wont break,
I wont fail,
make no mistake.
I wont fumble,
stumble or crumble.
This is my oath,
I hereby take.

I wasn't expecting the oleander tree this morning
You seized the chance of my being unaware
The flute, however, didn't falter in its whistling
Shedding all clouds, the sky became bare

Times will be tough
You may travel through troubled waters
Keep your heart into everything
Do not falter
Continue to press on
Always think positive
Have that courage
Remember, you have one life to live
