old man moves
to finishing line
the fastest collapses midway...

Little by little
These delicate petals fall
All I can do is whimper....

Little by little
Your love haunt me day by day
Mere think, I giggle....

Little girl, little girl
Where are you ?
Where are you ?
oh look! little girl
sleeping on her
Mother lap....

Little by little befuddled
Overwhelmed; off track or muddled
Scatterbrained; astray and puzzled
Tapped out; tore up or bumfuzzled...

The puzzle is scattered
Slowly, I connect the pieces 
Little by little the picture is forming
Will it look the way I wish
I'm working on it
We shall see...

Drop by drop they hit the window,
Little by little they roll through the house,
Year after year, they eat at the roofing
How can rain be so pulchritudinous?...

its near that time of year
when from heavenly
that bright tree
with gifts not for stiff
for all  santa call on his wall
the toys
for good 
LIITLE GIRLS AND BOYS...

Little by little
like a canoe in the deep,
Life sails on gently...

Though it may change course,
or wreck while sea-bound offshore;
often the truth saves!...

The humanity must  be aware
      that all things come little by little
      and is given freely by the time...
         age to age,
          life to life......

Little by little
the sand slips between my toes

Little by little 
my heart turns to stone

Little by little
stone corrodes to sand

falling between my toes...

the sunset
sculptures t'morrow-
with thought

the horizon appears-
daybreak tinges
my apprehension

the rising sun warms-
little by little 
wholeness returns...

The truth
The truth is an illusion
An illusion which we try to interpret
To interpret and to individualise
To individualise into our own lies when we don’t like it....

Little brother, little brother
You are sweet
I wish you were big
So you can carry me

Little brother,  little brother
You are sweet
I wish you were big
So you can play with me...

Little by little
The fish bowl evaporates
The candle flickers yet smaller
The gold fish skeleton
Stares at the burnt candle wick
No one notices
The old man
Died last week anyways...

There once was a man named Little Jack Little.
Who sure could play a mean little fiddle,
He played with big Bix Morgan,
Who pounded his upright organ,
While eating pancakes from the griddle....

little pig.beware the fragile sticks-
that form the lies of politics
for the senate huffs-
and then it puffs...
so go build your house...of bricks!*

Broken 
Lockdown 
Opening the Sky
To take wing to any destination 

Many options saved little by little like money
Boring being at home a long 

In the mix of whole fixtures 
Barber my first choice!...

Little Me

Little fingers, little toes
Little bones, yet no one knows
How horrible you are to me.
We both saw the wall coming.
The difference was that you made it happen,
As you flung me by my ponytail....

Christopher Grayling

Little lost boy at the foot of the bed
Poop on his little hands, little bald head
Sssh. He's moving his lips
Christopher Grayling's imagining ships

Truly I do not understand what true love
Truly means.
But every time I see and think of you it comes to me little by little.
And I take it all in like a lily, waking up to summers wind, and the suns shining rays....

Little by little
Fear forms whittle
Dimming soul’s light

Day and night
Crouched in fright
Dark thoughts belittle

Our mindful eye 
Thus does decry
Onset of grief

Ego, joys thief
To get relief
We wingless fly...

Little by little this does                                                                                            
wash the stoniness away  					               
rocks jagged and hard must roll					   
to a sea of sand...

Little by little, 
	thread by thread, 
	I am becoming untethered.
	My questions trip over one another,
	my thoughts churn and roil.
	A silence that bewilders 
	settles around me like dust. 
	That’s enough of the world for today....

an exotic unassuming, introverted quiet witch
she unveiled her unique talents little by little
one at a time, quietly, without fanfare
expecting no special attention or recognition
silently, stealthily, she revealed mystical abilities...
