What ought to have lapsed 
A decade ago sluggishly pops;
Antagonist’s claws now thaw 
And give way to buoyant hopes.

They line up on the shallow river,
to give Way.......

over the foggy mountain
to melt and give way 
your shivering lips settles
helping our tender love grow

Hands of the Gods

Mountains, we bend
Like teal ocean wave
Serene in this
Sea of tranquility
These ocean tides
Give way to storms
Bring hands from
The Gods

     by a buoyant spring day

   Buds, blossoms, blooms give way
     to bombs, to bombardments
       far, far away

Premium Member Artichokes in Season

The leaves refuse to give way.
I peel them one by one,
dragging my teeth across their edges,
slurping, tasting the work 
required to get to a heart.

Truth

Limbs that break bare truths that may help us see,

Limbs that sway bend to give way and sow a seed.

So tomorrow's hope is to find the truth within me.

Never To Late

It is never to late
To test your own fate
Just get in on the groove
And make your own move

I will never give way
To dishonest dismay
I will always give love
And it comes from above

Serene
Setting of the sun
Displaying many colors
On descent
As the hues give way to darkness
Light will come again to view
At dawn

Premium Member The moment lives forever in my heart

it was a harrowing goodbye
his body still warm 
when they took him away

the cold embrace of death
was not to get a hold of him
until i was willing to give way

That Constant Battle

it is a constant battle
The dance of life we face each day
Moments are fickle
In every way
We must never lose hope
And just hang in there
Darkness will eventually give way to the light
That clouded path will be clear

Be A Beast

Be a Beast
Wake up everyday and feast
Be like bread
Rise like yeast
Two fives don't equal a ten
Quick math don't try it again
I'm the king, that's me
Never give way to the heat
Let your fists flow with the beat
Be a Beast

Premium Member Heaven's Billboard

Just before the sun rises
  and just after it sets
The sky's majesty bursts forth
  Rapture's carnival in jets

of brilliant bold colors
  so rich and so deep
clinging to Heaven's billboard
  ere they give way to Time's sweep

Bipolar

BIPOLAR
Buoyant joyful spirits
but a garb, tormented
binary mind, prey to
betraying, grave  mood swings.
Brazeness doth  give way
brusquely to despondence;
blues to sadly,  hold sway.

The Chrysalis of Spring

undulating mounds of snow and ice
with fissures arches and caves
give way to an ever lengthening day

before a golden sunset
the chrysalis of spring
begins to crumble

an intrepid tulip springs forth
poking
through a blanket of snow

Premium Member Dawn

She peers out dark horizons
  Anticipation in the air
Hints of orange magenta
  awaken now from their lair

Retreating stars give way, to
  fiery streaks in bold relief
Her lucent halo bejewels the sky
  ~ O come rejoice at light's motif

Dance

An eddy of dry leaves,
Dancing in the wind 
The dance of death,
Moves to mulch. 
I've seen this falling,
Mr. Eliot, and would say
September is the cruelest month,
Making supper for Spring
Out of lives that must give way
To future appetites.

Proses Are Red

Red proses reluctantly fall.
All of its thorns spike every fault,
In a carnage only you and I call,
Now locked in my love-torn vault.

Imprisoned writings of lore,
Will finally give way
To the essence, you enchant more.
A fallen red prose lay.

Swing Low Sunset

Chariot of fire
close your eyes and say a prayer
for it's your time to sleep.

Set and take with you
begrudging darkness of the day
trailing behind you.

The hills are calling
give way to a new days dawning
let thy nemesis arise.

Premium Member Dark-ness must give way '

There can be no harvest, when darkness
Is prevelent..Waking to to light smarts the
Eyes of humanity..Yet the sun is essential
For all on earth that must flourish.' 
It raises up the fallen rain.' 
And ushers us onto; julys grain .'
All Glory to God, above all.)
