Ice frosting over
Glazed glacier moving inching
Melting in darkness...

imminent iceberg is inching closer
to the passengers on board
catastrophe typecast...

The bell rings of thirst
to answer by a drink 
ease the thirst a full drink 
half a drink inching to more quench...

In advancement,

Arrogant,very adamant,

Unable to amend-

Abdomen,

Of some Men!...

inching forward home
hoping seagulls nowhere found
low tide threatens me



Entry in Journey contest.
Did not place....

Gently like the mist
Inching closer to my heart
Magical yet real
Eyes I'd always recognize;
From your beauty I can't hide...

Crescent moon inching
across a crisp morning sky
dipping horizon

cautious, it eludes fingers
of spindly, reaching branches...

if I see the darkness shall I continue in my walk step by step inching I walk~

Camouflaged 
Hiding in the underbrush 
Inching forward 
Silently on padded paws, 
The leopard stalks its prey.

Inching closer to that mark,
I feel almost accomplished,
Though a miniscule part of me,
Pierces through,
Restraining me from the happiness,
I may rightfully deserve....

He whom dwells therein that bottle is I.
An entire teen-hood just squandered away.
A foolish sot throughout my twenties; Aye!
Inching thirty, I'm found longing change's day....

Like a lost sea turtle inching 
Threw sand 

Searching for the beams of moonlight 
Shining a way to the sparkling blue ocean 

I search for your love 
And I've found it...

The rocker is rocking fiercely and in an angry way.
Jack the pumpkin is in the worst mood today.
He did not feel respected, and never got his say.
The other pumpkins are scared, inching away....

Green growing vines
        Entwine
        Around
         And up
       And down
Circling the old, old oak
Crawling across the ground
    Inching slowly
       Creeping
 Making no sound...

sliding down
the cerulean spiral
grasping for
plasticine safeguards
to soften the
soul-crushing impact
of hitting bottom
again
feet scrambling
fingers digging
inching the way upward
only to slip
again...

Circling
Looking forward
Onward
Can't go back
Knocking on the future
Sleeping off the past

Ticking away the hours
Inching by and by
Can we face tomorrow?
Knowing 
It’s something new
Never going back
Got to go on....

Sunrise
Red, golden
Inching, warming, lighting
Begins quietly a new day, ends a good day
Glowing, disappearing, darkening
Magic, warm
Sunset

Little green
through windowpane,
goes inching up and down.

He travels far,
to distant star,
of orange and golden brown.

The fruit he seeks
on his short trip
has died upon the vine

And yet he strolls
over wood and holes,
in search of sweetest wine....

Snail told faerie off the first time she tried climbing mushroom end. 
“There is not room enough for both of us!” He said in a mean way.
She kept inching her way up, singing songs, making him a friend. 
Now he waits for her by the pond, and they walk together every day....

Camaro
                                Sleek, fast
                       Racing, flirting, streaking
                 Sexy, fine, cumbersome, chunky,
                    Plodding, plugging, inching,
                     Serviceable, dependable
                               Minivan...

Seagulls sit equidistant on the rooftop
This was sometime last week
I've not kept up
It is the chaos and calm
Inching one way causes agitation 
It's pretty impossible
To talk yourself out
Of agitation
Picture the scene
Gull to Gull
Sit me in a cardboard box til morning
See if I can still fly......

I venture forth in this wood unknown
Trembling inside this greenery overgrown
I trustingly advance each step foreward
Inching towards my fate unguarded
Lowering my gaze somewhat subdued
I spy my rainbow my future I view
Longing future wisdom spiralling notions
My lusty prelude to imagination enthrown!...

belief is the end 
of your awareness
inching snails shrivel
mango groves pregnant
awareness is foolish perfect
mystery of trinity worshiped
black or white blood
is red and warm
today is the 
beginning of to
morrow and the
end of yesterday
the end
absconding thoughts
i am forty my
mother
confessed...

Tomorrow's dream-like state

has not yet arrived

not yet met its demands;

could it be the frozen clouds

possesing a fall of rain?

 

And so I pitch here

under the blue of stars for now,

in the climate of lethargy

sinking my feet in a journey

that is stalled, inching a foot

toward hope....
