Premium Member Smoke Signals

high through jagged pines 
spiraling up towards the sky
smoke from our cabin
indicating the changing
fickle Indian summer

To Live Alone

This road
This jagged edge
The sticks are stones
Now broken words
To mend these bones
We are not meant
To live alone

I Closed My Door Unto the World

Proud Flags of a Fool unfurled-
Fell upon Life's jagged rocks
I closed my Door unto the World,
But, alas! It has no locks!

Premium Member Bones

Bones
jagged,
scabbed up skin;
But oh that fire;
Diamond in the rough;
Faded tattoos 
bloody smile 
simply 
shine.

Premium Member Whittle Owl

somewhere 
along 
its 
jagged 
route,
bitter owl 
will 
blot 
the 
sun
and 
carve 
the heart 
into 
a 
mouse


Rain Light

Thundering dark sky
Above me

Wondering why you love me
And then one day

Jagged light hugged me
I've had a nice time

Behind me
The path goes along broken
The large ruts
Jagged trail
Not looking back I move on
Perfection  ahead

Tragically Ironic

She stumbles from the needle,
on life's ugly, jagged edge;
yet with gracefulness and beauty,
she leaps out from the ledge.

Darkness
envelopes soul
rising screeching thoughts instilled
missed unseen jagged light escapes
heaviness weighs my heart

yellow tissues in jagged flight

Brimstones flutter by

the sounds of song-  birds on high

            in new birth's cry

Splashing down a jagged mound
into a pond with laughing sound
sparkled by sun, stirred by breeze
cocktail of stars for thirsty gees

Too heavy for sky,
Night cradles the harvest moon.
Soft, loitering, light
Silhouetting rooftops, spires
Jagged black against its glow

Take a Deep Breath - It's Okay To Be Different

deep air filled lungs ascent -
purity revived
fluttering over jagged peaks
unlike an eagle -
butterflies
teaming nectar
among stones

Take a Breath

draw in many breaths

pure crisp cotton snowy air

jagged peaks beckon

snare young and old to challenge

death defying runs of ice

Storm

The wind calls,
The rain falls,
The storm is coming nearer.

Black clouds crack,
"Crack!  Crack!  Crack!
Throwing their jagged spears.

juxtaposed

jeopardized jellyfish jangled jagged jewels.
Jingling jolly jovial jim-dandy jellybeans.
Jellyfish jocundity joyously jostling jubilantly.

Untitled #283 / I See Everything #3

I see everything.
I see that only one thing matters.
I see men and women break themselves against its jagged rocks.
This is why I am scarred.

smooth polka dotted grandma
wrinkly and crinkly now
her eyes are shrunk
some teeth are jagged
she is raggedy
jealous of her fifty-year-old-self

Death in the heart...
Death is the heart my beautiful child

the jagged, cold, soaking heart

Dark in the soul
Darkness replaces the soul my ugly child

To Someone Allied With Death

Life, the time sovereign
is also powerful.
She didn't think so,
didn't feel the
weight of days,
how they grind edges,
polish jagged moments
to jewels.

I Just Cried

Internal pain

Jagged gasps
Unruly mind
Stop it all
Terrible thoughts

Can't go on
Regrets appear
Intense emotion
Everything broken
Doubts pounding

Premium Member Mystic Waters

Treacherous ebb tide

        Jagged barbs among the mist

                  Step-stones to freedom
