Race Against Time

inching forward home
hoping seagulls nowhere found
low tide threatens me

Undeniable

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

Crescent moon inching
across a crisp morning sky
dipping horizon

cautious, it eludes fingers
of spindly, reaching branches

The Leopard

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

Approaching the Goal

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.

Ready For Change 2k13

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.

Searching For Moonlight

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

Angry Jack O Lantern

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.

Growing Vines

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

My Playground

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

Clocks Ticking

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

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

my sneaky boobs

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

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.

Faerie Makes a Friend

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.

Drive Hard and Drive Fast Until

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

Mystic

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 Awareness

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

The Wait

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.

Nightly {stream of Consciousness}

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

Die

James

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

Like a Butterfly

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.

That Sun

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

Blue Wave

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.
