We All Know
We have this feeling

we all know it way to well

it eats us inside

we see the person always

but fear has gripped us for good...

Your Strength
If hope is the thing with feathers
That floats on the wind
Your strength is the iron 
bound in roots of an oak
gripped in sand’s shifting whim...

April showers fall,
but who cares when spellbound hearts,
gripped by love’s first flush
revel in heaven sent peaks,
an endless rainbow blossom...

The Hourglass of Time
the
cantankerous old man
who
gripped a hand carved 
oak wooden walking stick
stands firm
upon the ground
and
witnessing
the 
hourglass of time...

a grand

On our bed she lies Half naked to bare, sound asleep Tanned curves allure me Eyes closed, visions of last night Sheets gripped tight, orchestral sighs .

Sweating It
He spun the wheel,
no big deal there;
no real money.

In a short while.
that big smile of
poor Lyle vanished.

He pursed his lips,
Gripped his chips and
Took nips of gin....

Premium Member Broken Nose Mc Ghee
At the tight end of a rope,
tied on a scraggly oak.
Rode Broken Nose Mc Ghee,
a known cattle thief.

With a crack of a whip,
The hangman's knot gripped.
Swinging buzzard feed,
Was Broken Nose Mc Ghee....

Happy Place
paper mache boat's of noah's ark
 made in sunday school, 
imperfectly sailing gripped
 by little fingers.

two of every kind of happyness, 
 the joy of childhood innocence
 returning to me with dove 
and olive branch....

DRUGS

Duping myself with that false belief for the
Recreational using of these mind altering
Until I find myself slipping from my sanity
Gripped by the uncontrolled insanity they
Say that I can't survive without them I fear...

FALLS

Lugubrious countenance of midnight.
Scream of water cutting the inner ear.
At edge of Anna Ruby, gripped by fear,
Night-wanderer awakes to stormy height.

Harder Than Most
On this cool morning
I am gripped by the
truth-screaming change of
the temperature of
the breeze in my hair

and realize
in this slipping
away of time
that I am now

headed for
an unknown
winter that

could be
long, and

cold...

A Cherry On Top
There once was a dancer who stripped
for the five-dollar bills I gripped;
she put them in her garter,
for some more she worked harder...
now she's eating ice cream - hand dipped!

Blade of Chance
Leaning on the edge of faith
Against my neck chance is a blade
Gripped by every mortal hand
A slash and push I will not land
Immortal beings still my fear
Sing sweet to me the ending near
My hand upon the blade of chance
Oh darling, don’t we live to dance?...

''Levels of Sight''
Sculpted perfection.
Gripped of poised beauty.
Crystal flash of melted mirrored reflect.
A smooth projected silhouette.
Cast a luster of light intense.
Engaged eyes of majesty left sight ignite.

On Labor Unfold
Silvery chopstick
That kissed by the blue fire
Healed my wound of divine aspire.

Brushed in the fur of the beast,
Smothered my faith to abide
Will my soul subside?

Hot metal gripped in iron clamp,
Thy fury of fortitude of time
Of thy fate mockingly sublime....
