Fragility

Emotions smolder
Fires burn down to cold coals
Silver shiny glass
Makes for hard brittle mirrors
Fragility breaks elbows

In measures of heart
we choose our fragility 
in fortresses of loving
by practical arrangements 
bottled up messages sink

Premium Member this fragility of ours

you're playing with a line that must not be crossed
lest it will irreversibly ruin friendship as we know it

Love of a Woman

With
Waft
Of dews 
And sweet scent
Of sun-burnt kisses
She blooms, etchin’ my precious name
In the fragility of her endearing, rose womb

Fragility In Familiarity

sometimes the strangers
come as helper suddenly 
where known are doubtful
loyalty of dog- stronger 
where human avoids Savior

Cat

stop throwing baseballs
for my neighbour's cat
his swing just isn't in it
and besides, I'm a little
worried for his fragility
he, being just porcelain

Painting By Sorrows

Gentle strokes of sorrow brush over you.
Fragility of soulless eyes deep blue
Are closing, weeping tears of knowing truth.
Be gone haunting questions of destiny.
sad

Fragility Strenght

Woman,
       your fragility is the essence
       of your strength ...
       Man,
       your brute strength
       is the essence of yours
       fragility...

The feeling of fragility is precious,
But it demands emotional mortality.
A longing for something so distant,
Emotions unfounded and absent.
Hold me and I may break.
Kiss me and I may die.

The Soldier

I saw a battled frame
housing a black 
and white photo
of a hero 
in war, 

proudly posing
hiding his fear, 
his fragility

some family's pride
and country's

creased, 
in a junk shop

The Bubble

Stretched out 
To the limit 
Yet 
Still growing 
Bulbous 
Swelling 
Larger 
Forcing fragility 
Glistening rainbow transparency 
Floating 
On a 
Human sea 


A BUBBLE 
That’s me 

Soon 
I 
Will 
POP!

Flame

It dances
without rhythm or form
rather
impulsively
to energy around and within
offering warmth
and company.
The fragility of its existence 
startling in its strength
to illuminate  dark spaces.

Delicato

Squeezed a wild cat
Clever this tale
Purring witty straight
Void; kiss two cheeks?

Thirty no more
Fragility craves.
Unashamed 
Seek pleasures great. 

Spine contour frills
Weave magic and thrills:

Premium Member FRAGILITY AND RESILIENCE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A moth's wing trembles~ translucent in dawn's first light. One breath could undo the delicate art of flight, yet it dances with the wind.

Rain On Me

Cold days
Skies are grey
The sound of raindrops
The thundering clouds
Resembling
Parts of my soul

A glimpse of vulnerability
Fragility 
But above all,
Tranquillity

Every once in a while
I love being,
A pluviophile

Autumn Leaves

They fall from grace to grass,
aged, scorched and dehydrated,
fluttering away further
the vanity of previous
greenness and elevated times,
reminding us of the fragility
of life,
the futility of striving to hang on
when time is up.

Premium Member A Wilted Rose

in a slender vase
on the bare bedside table
a faded rose droops...
my love, drained and time consumed
succumbs to fragility

Beauty of Fragility

A blossom's petal, rusted and metal
Unfolds unto me, I see what you see
Echoes ignoring, whispers still snoring
Hold tight to me now, breathe life in somehow
Beauty so fragile, gives love so agile 
Gave life to suffice, honest sacrifice

Fragility

Fragility
 
Things break;
hearts bruise
hard purple
when heaved
off the edge
into air bled dry
from love, 
leaves
cracked veins
longing to be 
repaired.

The Mind

The mind
obscure to man
is a Waterloo
ideas, ideologies
desires and feelings
actions of the will
fight and clash
for supremacy
sometimes in vain
oftentimes in reality
with little precision
as man- young, old
are bundles of fragility

Speak

I am not a conversation.

I am an angry friday night argument
set in your half illuminated kitchen
I am angry voices 
and cruel remarks
and I am held together 
by the fragility of the hour.

You hear me thunder by 
and you go back to bed.

In Sight

Chameleonic fragility of feminine tranquility
Displayed in stretching curled felinity
Of cat in fireside chair
Between the lines of sight are seen
In visibility of mind
True views to find hide there
Where they've ever been
In ability
With flair
