Short Lunge Poems

Black queen’s bloody blade
Six pawns at his feet laid.... 
Knights lunge to evade...

Hell hounds  (Than-Bauk)
Hell hounds  at large
Cop must charge right      
And lunge to fight

Eyes lock
with stealth 
both move
faced they stand
hands raise
tension builds
forward then lunge
stomp yawp Bash...
high missed five...

All conquering tree
each limb stout and assuring
transforming young life
our need our escape
magpie lunge to drive us out

Into Deep Water Did Like To Lunge

Trump had seemed to be such a sponge;
Into incredible debt  country did plunge,
We could never favor;
Due to poor behavior;
Into deep water always liked to lunge.

Listen to poem:

Standing up, on top
straddling the seesaw
one foot on each side, now.
Whichever way I lean
sends the upside down
and the downside up.
Slippery slide 
to the flip-side
is unworkable.
It's lunge, parry
riposte....

Shadows surround me in
    my den of iniquity
  Satanic sprites flit across walls
    faint traces of smoke inhabit the halls

  I draw forth my sword
    Lunge at the air
  Alas and alack ~
    I've laid my Muse bare...

My blade cuts the air 
As I lunge forward to strike
My opponent thrusts heartily towards me
He aims for the throat
Sparks fly from my gorget
Red quickly smears his chest
He falls to the ground with a thud
The fight is over...

Stigma Attached and Horm Humor Hatched

When constructed roof appeared to be thatched,
And to it would see some sticky stigma attached;
First had to lunge,
Then into pool plunge;
Having happened after Horn Humor was hatched.

Reach out and splash the face of God

As you free fall from the clouds.

In you quest to quench thirst.

Nothing’s in your way,

Dance, tumble, and

Ride the wind.

Own your

Plunge!...

unconscious minds
surround us
they lunge about
but we are not here

we empathise
but do not trauma bond
each soul has its journey
which we accept

there’s no one to forgive
all that is, is
a splash in the ocean
of oneness

She asked me if I'd give her luck
for which I wondered why.
Her precious lips held perched at what
was meant for my reply.

When asked myself what she possessed
to back that act so shy.
To which I stepped beyond that heart
to lunge at her from high....

distant wolves sniff at the winds,
sense what you do not.
your death hums in the air!
pings run through your heart
to raise a berm of hair!
Baskerville hounds now shift
from lope to lunge. 
their thirst for blood has come!
rapacious tongues make clear
your death is in their mouths!...

Yield? Not to you, I certainly won't. 
I'll parry on hot coals, I'll lunge to your affront.
Succumb? I'll not breathe your air of lies,
Since no honeyed sweetness makes me compromise.
Supplicate? Then throw down your armor at will.
Once freed from this battle, you will be my love still....

You take I give
You speak I listen
You call I answer
Your bad am good
Your drunk am dry
You lunge I hide
You laugh I cry  
You hurt I bleed
You hit I plead
Your fist my face
You stay I leave
You crawl I grieve  
Your sorry am not
Your sad am fine
Your loss not mine

Snow cat
so wild
and white
black spots
will hide
and blend
with ease
by still
black trees
he looks
he stalks
black prey
in cold
chill brush
black eyes
stare through
he hears
white noise
a crouch
a lunge
a strike
to catch
and eat 
white meat
his prize.

we dance the old dance
as old as time itself yet
ever fresh each day

who knows its real name
how long it’s been around or
cares who danced it first

lift turn sway lunge bend
at the shore on ballroom floors
in the desert sands

the heart of the world
beats to the rhythm of love
all still dance to it...

SUDDENLY The LAKE 

This joyous lunge of spirit
when green forests suddenly part
and reveals a precious liquid animal
bathing its wind scaled body
healing its summer craft scars 
chameleon element locked in grey
contest we both the cloud imprisoned sun

Sea Angels

I walk the ocean sands
and wade among the waves.
I see an angel in motion
dancing on the foam.

This angel swirls and dips
the tutu fans with lunge; 
Ballerinas in mid air
Or wings of glossy jell.

Fragile form yet vile
Like love you've had awhile.
Beautiful, yet stings
Jellyfish at the beach....

The vampires are thirsty, the ghouls want to eat,
Season of famine and drought,
No more red-veined virgins, no graveyards of meat,
Food and drink, have all run out.

The priests have placed crosses on every girl’s breast,
The tombs are all guarded at night,
So vampires and ghouls must take second best:
They lunge at each other, and bite....

Listen to poem:

I waited, anticipated
Hopes were high, bloated
It was too much to ask, inflated
I lowered my sights, deflated
Tried not to be hurt, shielded
Numbed my senses, phlegmatic
Checked the date and time, could be wrong
I fought back and forth, sparred
Willed a lunge, parry, riposte, touché
But, when it came, it fizzed
The expectation feud, 
blew out the candles....

Through the naked crest of your back
The dips above your clavicles
And the way I lunge at your jaw.

Through pale hands and swollen lips
And heavy eyes

It echoes

Resonates through thin air
And seeps into the cracks of the walls
The way it collides with your skin
And buries through the flesh

That moment, awakening, I got through
You know now how much I love you...

What do you imagine when you look into the future?

Do you see light? Darkness?

Is it cold? Sunny maybe?

Do you see yourself?

Your success or failure?

Happiness or depression?

Did you reach your dreams?

Or did you fall?

Do you have a life at all?

Well stop thinking,

And just do.

Just make what you want happen.

Lunge for it. No regrets…

And make it....

The first virgin touch,
Then build up to a precipice, nearer
To God, and Devil, in an instant.
The clumsy in and out: eyes darting, feeling control
And confusion, while reciting phone numbers
So to become an expert on your first draft.
Sympathetic sighs and loose lies, to ink the deal;
A lunge and stretch, a moan full pain, and sticky, salty life pasted
On teenage trust, and bellies....

I will be primed to snarling lunge to the layers inside. 
Creating sympathy with family could misguide.
Otherwise called giving, noticing, releasing, and crying. 
This is the requisite vigor-reviving leverage.
Since we have recently begun to stray into the red.
