Almost Kiss

two women 
in an desolate scene were alone
on an almost kiss

dead tree
were they softly leaned against each
their nude bodys


Premium Member Untitled

there once was a man named Clark
who was blind as a bat in the dark
one night he went outside to pee
leaned up against a tree
and failed to leave his mark

Premium Member There is Not Where We're

      Why am I here and not there
         I so yearned to be there, not here

       A tiny voice leaned into my ear
         ~ You and I are where we’re

Premium Member Arabique II

"Bahebuk awi ya habibi," as I leaned toward his face.
"Bahebik awi ya habibti," he said as he set the pace.
He pleasured me all night until he was red in the face.

Premium Member Ahoy Mate

An aging old sea captain named Hook,
Was a bloodthirsty pirate and a crook.
He leaned as he stood,
On his left leg of wood,
And from only his right eye he did look.

A Girl and a Boy

In the golden field where they lay,
Underneath the warm sun's gentle ray,
She leaned in so near,
Whispered words in his ear,
Then she kissed the boy and they rolled in the hay!

Diligence

Due to the diligence he did,
he avoided the usual pitfalls
and wrong ways.
Yet to the end of his days
he leaned nothing
of that light-hearted travelling
into the yet unknown.

Slanted

• I've never really noticed how slanted the walls look • Almost like they're about to fall • I'd once leaned on them, they started to creak • Echoing through the hall

Premium Member In the Sun

The scooter leaned into me a human bomb
a bota box for your treasury
a bota box for your million 
I’m not at the beach
I love you
it’s all good 
burns turned blue
I love you
that’s real
sun

Premium Member Smarmy Lady

I once met a lady from Killarney 
Her tendencies leaned toward the smarmy 
Wore the briefest of shorts 
Couldn’t hide her big warts 
But, she could handle the Irish army.

Shenanigans

There was a lad known for his shenanigans,
Who completed each act with such naughty grins.
He leaned backward all alone,
To kiss the old Blarney Stone!
That limestone-lipped lad known for shenanigans.

Premium Member Dad

Dad was a man of good virture.
He always knew what best to do.
He was handsome, he had some brawn.
He showed us respect, and much care.
He listened to our problems there.
He was the hero we leaned on.

Premium Member Straight Back Chair

This old straight back chair,
leaned back against kitchen wall.
Dad set me on scrawny lap;
tired face in hands.
Said I yuv my feety dad.
His smile just a memory...

A Step

i took that step forward
my eyes closed
and fist clenched
you leaned in
and our lips touched
no fireworks
no butterfly's
no cliches
there was just me and you
and a million feelings i cant put into words

   CHOOSE NEW WEATHER
   BECAME MOTHER

Premium Member Loving his Excitement

in the heat of the day, I heard giggles
he was three, everything was funny
He had leaned into the sprinkler
I took his photo, capturing this moment
loving his excitement, unaware of the sun
who was enjoying this as much as I

Premium Member A Pile of Words

A PILE OF WORDS


They just fell onto the page
as I leaned over the desk
pouring from my addled brain
tumbling in meaningless streams
rebuffed by the virgin whiteness
brushed aside by a tormented muse.

Premium Member Sitting In a Cold Teacher's Chair

Teacher’s chair is super warm
Surprising me
She can be an icy woman
Most of the time

I had no idea her body held any heat at all
I imagine many others would have been surprised too
I leaned back in her chair, feeling comforted and amazed.

Premium Member HALF SONG

The night leaned in to tell me things the daylight never knew,
its murmurs soft as drifting ash, its breath a silver hue;
I answered with a trembling voice that rose then fell again,
a half-song shaped from longing’s thread, repeating its refrain.

Thieves Wishing Well Warning

Beware of wishing for money here,
the last person that tried and leaned in
to make change and also a wish,
fell to his death to the bottom 
and now all his wishes have come true.

Butterfly Kisses

His voice is sweet, 
My heart skips beat 
And then I leaned towards him 
To kiss! 
A soft-landing impact, 
Hits my lips, 
Like a butterfly setting wisp, 
My stomach tightened in knots, 
Which really hurt, 
Then I pushed away, 
As reality comes to takeaway.

Premium Member Magic Carpet

…The magic carpet had been… She played with the book, read the doll, put the flower in the air, the plate on her hair; she ate the fan and waved the grapes, put nothing in the tin, leaned in. …unfurled; it’s Hollywood red…

Doors

I found a door today

Just a door, there, in front of me

So I sat

As doors go it was pleasant enough

Wooden

Heavy

Solid

I leaned to it

Touched it

Sat back and thought

I stood and walked away

I am not ready yet

To open doors

Premium Member Overthinking

I leaned back in my chair and carefully thought, 
'bout what is to be, and what is not,
and the things that are and the things which was, 
and what doesn't and that which does.  
Just then, I leaned too far and fell on my head.
I'd finish the thought, but now I'm dead.

Premium Member ghouls in disguise

dolls from the sixties
pre Barbie days
chubby bodies with round faces
rivaled the cuteness of a toddler

two-year-old leaned into the window
gazing at them with rapt attention
not realizing they were ghouls in disguise
ready to take the soul of whomever took them home
