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

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

My boobs are sneaky
inching themselves toward the floor
they were once firm and perky
now they are flabby giant jello blobs
stretching toward ground zero
whether I am looking or not
do I care?
worse.
Not only do I not care
I am no longer amused by them

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.

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

I do not know?
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.

Light Verse
Drops of oil
Scar the soul
Scare the mind
Steal the life
Dead
Cold
Frigid and still
Creeping vines
Inching in the dark
Sealed rosebuds
Fall to the ground
Trembling in the wind
Vultures
Beak and Talon
Silhouette against the moon
Darkness under the wing
Tick
Tock
Midnight
Tick
Tock

The sound of your name is beautiful
Reminiscent of the feeling
when a warm bath pours over my body
Lapping my feet and rolling over my legs
Kissing my stomach
Inching towards my face
Warming all of me
Only you have this power
Only you have my heart
James only you have the right touch
Only you can make me melt into mush

True love grows like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
Starting off slow inching as it goes by.
Soon your wrapped up in love
Like a caccoon patiently waiting undisturbed.
Getting ready to spread new wings
Each pattern created perfectly.
You together make one whole complete
While flying to the rhythm of eachothers heart beat.

The sun
Setting behind
The high mountains
The rays
So brilliant
And warming
The clouds
Just lined with
A faint yellow glow
The sky
Slowly losing
It's glorious blue
The night
Inching it's way
Into the open sky
The mountain
Is nothing but a
Silouhett in the distance
The sun
Setting behind
The high mountains

I do not know?
Heat on the door, windows airless,
Obsessive heat.
Inching blandness in sorrow soaked.
Prism of light spearing through our town
Filled with hope.
A lingering ghost stays on.
Hungry repetition, happened, been and gone.
So slowly, interest fading
To a daylight breaking
For that moment,
By a candle bare,
On rosewood eyes you shine.
