Straight forward you go.
Standing on the ledge's edge. 
With both feet grounded.

My Heart

My heart is 
A flightless feathered creature
Doomed to a life grounded,
Though never crestfallen,
For it has found the sky in your eyes.

Cent Away

Penny was one of many,
Counted on daily to fall.
Tails up and head down.
Grounded, hardly lost.
Never found.

 To ballet classes, her mother would bring her
 Agoraphobia grounded her for a while
 But she posed for Playboy with a smile

A peacock who is grounded as he flies,
will freely psychedelicize.
Take notice as you stare. 
Slowly become aware.
His tail is a hundred eyes.

Utopia

Sliding touch,
Along your chest,
In your arms,
I feel less grounded,
In the air,
I think less clearly,
My devotion,
Warrants no particular price.

Premium Member My Head

slightly crazy all my life I had a generous heart
as two feet grounded I made a living and always 
to provide a story or two to pay the rent of a roof

A Rise Within the Fall

i am grounded
in yesterday's thoughts
blushed of crimson glow
i want to tarry there
in winded breaths
undressing like the trees
spun of autumn's touch

Saturday
A soft gray backdrop
For the barren trees
Stick fingers search
For a lost friend
Squirrels hide
In plain sight
As grounded hawks
Await a wind

or...in great anger i shall strike thee down with a quote to languish without
meaning for the rest of thine ill begotten grounded days upon rocks of time

Premium Member Shelved

Listen to poem:
old stepladder
still able to climb,
still able to lean,
to prop and lift you up,
now elatedly sublime
a fixture prime in space
in pride of place
grounded
shelved
dishevelled
