above the still strand
shrieks of seagulls
die on the inshore breeze-
our twin footsteps disappear
as sunset dissolves

Filled With Bodies of Water

the footsteps of God are thus the ocean and the seas filled with bodies of water a path that bring worlds

Childhood memories
Woven into wooden floors,
Spirits of the home
Awakened by my footsteps
Dance me to the sounds of old

Out of the Wilderness

Coming from nowhere
destined for anywhere
Each pathway a mantra
—whose footsteps define

(Dreamsleep: September, 2022)


Heartstrings

Thin ice cracks
Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice.

Intruder

silence is broken
a sound of a door creaking
whispering voices
footsteps coming from the room
the dwarf hid in a cupboard

A Few

a bell rang
for the people of the Lost City
it is probably away
your footsteps
when was yesterday

for a few dry sheets

Premium Member The Rain

the rain finally came 
washing away
my footsteps and pain

and cleaning the slate 
for another’s faith
- and another rain

Soft Echoes

Soft sunlight warms
an empty morning.
Memory hums below
like distant footsteps.
A hush gathers —
then lingers in my chest.

Walking along, cold and early, 
under a full, white-lamp moon;
footsteps guided by moonlight
of the Sun that'll be up soon...

spoor tracks

the virgin snow-
footsteps of yesteryear
echo in my mind

Impressions are like footsteps in the sand,
They leave their mark as surely as a Lover's hand
On Mind and Heart.

Absence of your footsteps and smile
Exit to an ethereal word
Leaving behind your legacy
Life appears and disappears like the fog

A Drink

The man
draws water.
from a well on an island

later

from a spring on a mountain

Ten thousand
weary footsteps
For a drink
Form:

A path to the moon

A soft whisper
Two gentle hands
Light footsteps on the ground
A moonlight that appeals
As you follow it
On the path to the moon.

Good Night Footsteps

Softer than moonlight
Your footsteps enter the room
But I feel restless
Till you snuggle beside me
Proving you're more than a dream

Premium Member Quicksand Hope


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

Footsteps

I was born to stand out
On my two feet
Not to follow somebody's shadow
Never to fit in hero-worshipping
Again never to be as a bootlicker

Tiny footsteps

Leading to a decorative pond

It had lilies and leaves

A scream tore the sky apart

Lilies and leaves
