P-ale and feeble sun
S-hines through the fog, mist, and haze, 
P-laces are obscure.

before I walk, I unlatch my shoe laces;
take off my shoes and socks barefoot I walk;

Brownies, goblins and gargoyles too
Entered the laces of a good girl’s shoe
She danced up a storm
With my cousin Norm
At the end, she had plenty of woo....

atop the bench
   mouths open
   tongues yet panting
   sweat-soaked
   disheveled laces
   the sneakers
   had given it their all
     ~ almost died crying...

carriage of roses
radiant and beautiful 
laces of red mist
his bedded yearns beckon
a flame rising to her trust

Tillytitacious point of view
Wearing striped braces and
Thinking mind goo.
Caught up by sad faces,
Some old and some new,
Tied up with short laces
On an oversized shoe....

Propped up against the wall
two shoes, neatly placed there
laces intact, leather shiny as new
multiple holes in both their soles 
disparity in presentation,
 so what is their truth?...

the laces are caught up
& torn down the side
the words that once held up
have long been discarded
tender silk & flesh,
now covered with lines
let our scars remind us;
we're still alive...

brown leather pigskin

white leather laces on one side

white stripes circle ends.

While all parked in their separate places
Couples were watching the Submarine Races
Trying hard not to show their faces
The chicks with all of their graces
Put their tops back on - their Chantilly Laces!...

Gray misty mountains
Cold light drifting 
Frost sharpening the air
Twilight steeples
Piercing the sky
White laces the land
Hearth’s smoke drifts like ghosts
Ice crystals dance
Winter icy fingers grasp...

hot air balloon races
cover girl make up on faces
carnival of aces
entertainment graces
chalk ware prize traces
saddle shoe laces
pony out paces
clown car chases
teen girls in braces
fuzzy memory erases...

We’ve broken apart; 
a tub of salty tears,
a tub of bitter regrets. 
We are piercing the world 
as a pair 
of new odd shoes. 
Somebody have cut 
the Gordian knot 
that kept tight
our hearts and our laces....

                        gossamer laces

                   adorn the face of young love...

                        the veil of promise

Put
on your
walking boots
the ones with the
old frayed laces,
So I can take my grief
where harsh wind whines and rages,
tearing across desolate hills.
I shall lean myself on your shoulder.
Say nothing, let me sob into the rain...

Mirrors remind her she must live alone
Everything she sees, she turns to stone 
Dismal future she now faces
Ugly snakes upon her head like laces
She is a gorgon, Medusa is her name
Athena punished her, for beauty was her shame...

HE:
I like my Stetsons tall
and my women small;
leather and laces in
all the right places!

SHE:
So I bought the orchid myself
and pretended you sent it.
We dined, drank, danced
and made love
and I pretended you meant it....

Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist, 
fills with hate the empty spaces. 
Mr. Racist, Mr. Racist, 
of decency he'll leave no traces. 

Mr. Fugly, Tubby Racist, 
don't know how to tie his laces. 
Buggy Nubby, stupid racist, 
don't know how to be courageous....

and  all how much
wasted time
religion what a crime...

Framp town graces ring a wrong
Rooh Dah Roo Dah
Gramp down laces sling a thong
Oh Roo Rah Ray!

My eyes pop open
I am disoriented
I stumble 
My knee hits a chair

It twirls
Finally reach the door
Hear Trixie my muse laugh
She loves waking me up...
