Tempting

grains of dew
forming a softening glaze
falling tediously
from your hairline
freshly stocked 
unabashed stare of longing


Premium Member Making a Mockery

Less than flattering waistline
    mocks ever-thinning hairline

  Disappearing gray matter
    makes head look even fatter

Hairline trigger is how I’d describe my mind.
My thoughts are slippery and reek of formaldehyde.
very neat, very clean.

Every Time We Say Goodbye

Her hand in my hair and
our bodies now
slowly drifting apart,
while Chet Baker plays,

she says:

We love like the dust
and the hairline
cracks
in old mirrors.

Premium Member Here now this morn

between eyebrows and guru chakra
on the curve of forehead at our hairline
the higher third eye stirs

conjoined with the crown
entwined with spine and heart
with pulsations of love and light concurs

Cinderella for the day

Cinderella for a day
her pavlov dogs barking
Long shanks meant for the shining,
hairline conquests prevail
Antibiotics for a Queen
the white path of riddance
Stupor by Rules
Hysterical outcomes
The all Mighty Sun
is streaming
hoping for the fog

Premium Member Mosaic Masterpiece

We are all a bit broken inside 
Some only have hairline fractures
While others are completely shattered 

Maybe the more broken you are is a blessing 
Because when you put the pieces back together
The beauty in your rebuilt mosaic design will eternally shine

End of the Day

half smile starts to slip
     hairline cracks around the lips
pick up the pace down
     five flights she
hits the crash bar
stinging wind whips aside
     all that remains

the startling cruelty of
unfinished
blurs
his gentle pale eyes in her rear view

Lost in You

Im hairline
lost in the scent of you
delirious shared moments
yet under your eiderdown
lies a self centred heart
eagerly searching the next victim
I don't want to feel your pain
Id rather be a stream
that flats past your jaded chase
yet somehow prolonging my fear
you ve changed

Premium Member Q and A

  A question was asked and an answer was given:

" I belong to the lower class -- a hairline above the poverty level.  I am okay with the old clothes that I've been wearing for the past years.  I'm fine with less and I would be happier if you speculate less... :) 
Be proud of yourself and be natural!"

The Time Clock

Time is a thief
Another year has gone by
It slips away a hand that grip
Flies like a wind, a beauty shy
Crisis and opportunity just a hairline
Of gaining failure and success 
Thoughts are like rays that shine 
It only stays at person that is avarice
Time is only fruitful and precious 
If it is done only to good use.

Play Nice

Sleep hits my eyes,
red bolts burned in
"Twice as Bright!"

They warned me.

My hand presses forward,
against the the glass.

I want to touch me

So Bad

and it is 

So Close

The mirror splits,
runs, hairline little racer,
flees to the corner as
the blood from its bite
is swallowed in the ash
in my palm.

Premium Member The Demon

His shadow moves in corners dark
His calling card, a well-known mark.
A trail of death, despair and want.
His arrogance, a daily taunt.

A hairline opening he found.
Slithering through without a sound.
Now the demon walks the earth.
Giving misery new birth.

Beware the place where darkness lives.
He seeks new life to join with his.

The Crack

He hates the sessions
The therapist
Desperately trying
To have him conform
To the accepted
Societal mold
Yet
He chose his path
A long time ago
Now
They deem him 
Broken
Yet
Time and again
He has to bend over
Betray logic
To accommodate 
Now
The result is an
Hairline crack
He can feel 
The pressure
Building up


(Ackmi Luis 2016)

Judgment Day

There will come a cast iron rain
in brown paper sackfuls
carried by frail, dark men
who never share your eye.

And when that day comes,
the skies will tremble,
smiling into hairline cracks
at the seams, awaiting
the drum of an enormous
wooden spoon, old
as Grandfather Mountain
and nimble as time
leaping like a cut-glass trout
in your still, hazel stream.

Hairline Cracks

When I am so weary
of this world
and
     cynicism
         speaks through my
             eyes,
when desert summer
     sun cannot
         penetrate 
             this uninvited temperament    
and fear brushes
     my cheek on
         my way out
             the door,
I find
     yours 
to be 
the
only
     words
that crack 
     this
     weathered bark

Without Wax

An imaged stone
With hidden flaws
Hairline cracks
O crackerjack
Dimly lit monument
In its place
Ceraceously covered
Comfortable til proved
Masked til moved
Into the sunlight
In the round
Tried by fire
The heat of day
Melts away
The priceless statue
Subjectively devoid
Alone freestanding
To weather rains
Fears and pains
Exposing imperfections

A Receding Hairline Poem With Traces of Grey

here on earth
i pray for all
in space
i have amnesia
the rainbow has golden strings
the sun has a surprisingly cool center
the moon has a warm, comforting glow
i am happy lying to myself

here at home
i play for all
rat race
i have amnesia
my voice painstakingly sings
my throat has a crockery laced splinter
the boos, yay, they steal the show
i get so excited when denying myself

To Be My Valentine

Took Turn or Found a Twist

Maybe my poems might be a mind game
And God forbid who should get the blame
Was it you who mine you were reading
Or all of my hair that is now receding.

A hairline fracture has been on my head
Which caused me to wish I were dead
Now my forehead will brightly shine
And I can recline reading your valentine.

The Curious Coif

Enigmatically stubborn to style, the coif
Some days it can be easily pulled off
Other days it requires an exorcism
Like Zoolander it can look like ‘Magnum’

Hides my receding hairline like a charm
Sophistication to my head’s yardarm
Its antidote is a very windy day
Requiring heavy doses of hairspray

When it works my lady wants to stroke it
I recoil in fear, making her remit
For a single finger can ruin it
It’s a fickle angel to babysit
