Lurking at
The water’s edge,
Capturing the

negating what goodness remained,

Will not be found,
laboring on seeming indiscretions of others;
But rather,

Found lurking closer at hand.

The Neocortex
Thinks, the Limbic System feels
What the heart reveals –

Yet Amygdala
Lurking near (though tucked away)
Truly rules the day!

  Lurking dormant beneath our skin
Sentenced to prisons they call school
  Liberation's rejoicing, spirit's fuel

Gesture

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was lurking at the door
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He  quietly  withdrew.

Gesture

When my great self
Was taking birth,
Death, his month agape Was 
lurking at the door.. 
But at my firm gesture
Weighing the strength of my arms
He quitely withdrew.

A Poet's Regret


These days I have been indulging myself, 
But lurking guilt always dims my joy, 
In the rhythm of rushed life, 
I even forgot how to write!

The Little Angels

The little angels were
Just sitting in their classroom
Playing and enjoying their lives
Not knowing of any danger lurking
And looking for innocent 
Souls to take

Secret Admiror

What I see,
blinds the light,
that sings in my eyes,
from twinkles,
that angels cry.

But what is that,
that comes to be,
lurking behind,
waiting to be loved.

She looks.
Cascading out of control,
white water floods me. 
I fear the rocks
lurking ‘neath dark pools.
Drawing me near,
the swirling eddys
foretell much.
Too much!

Premium Member The Lineament

No matter 

what the lineament of one's personality is, 

its opposite is lurking in the depths of his

The Battle of Death and Life

Death and life are always in fierce fight
Death is lurking away from your sight
Ready to take you away
For worms that make you decay
And ends your life with a long dark night

Premium Member Of Teen-age Years

    awkwardly waiting, ‘in-between’
      not yet adults, no longer tweens

    larvae-like lurking, behind-the-scenes
      ‘fore bursting their shells, onto life’s screen

Premium Member Lurking

slimy
and ugly
creepy crawlers
you can’t see them
in every crevasse
but
you know
they're there
lurking in the dark
