Across my face
Giving me a feeling
Of pure bliss and ecstasy

I tread so lightly
upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised
lopsided by threat reward

Two worlds, four shoulders
Whole universe above us
Taking the first step
I'll gladly take the burden,
But won't be taken lightly

The sleeper stands
Mind as black as lava sand
It’s beyond beginning
Of the season giving
Time to tread lightly
Swim and be free

Packing clothes
in my suitcase,
patting them down lightly,
so they will fit
and not cause any wrinkles...
destination: Hawaii!!!

A trip down memory lane 
Can be treacherous 
Paved with all good intentions 
But must tread lightly
You might get tired and bored

Premium Member BITE ME

It was a bite sized poem
Lightly crunchy edges
Soft, tasty, thoughtful center
A hint of a distant flavor
Lingering on a sated tongue

We Had Called God Unsightly

When we called God unsightly;
Had been yelled at by Almighty;
Perfect excuse;
Weight lose,
And never ever take Him lightly.

"sweet Touch"

Your fingertips touch
                     so lightly and endearing,
                                           still make my eyes roll...

Lilacs

Bright, violet sprig.
Tucked lightly in chestnut hair.
The light in your eyes.
Darling, did it remain there?
In my heart, it always blooms.

The Color Green

Shining in envy
Propelling from sickness held
All Nature carries
Guarding Irish traditions
We take this color lightly

WET THINGS

after summer rains
wet things like dew-fairies gleam
flitting in the smoke
prancing lightly on the leaves
humming praises in the breeze

The rain beats down on the roof 
like a drummer beats his drum..

the music of rain drops 
at hit the roof.
