Lurking in the dark shadows
More Leathal than poison

Paper tiger,
Good afternoon
Staring at
The paper moon
Lurking at
The water’s edge,
Capturing the
Beautiful origami bird

as slick as glass.

Quite innocently
I stepped outside
and fell on my . . .

imagine them lurking there

the very thought makes me sweat

Lurking in shadows 
The fading shadow
In darkness of my desire 
Of the one I thought I was 
Longing to be free 
Melts into the mist

Crocodile lurking.

evil lurking within the hearts of men
negating what goodness remained,
a time of infamy it shall always be,
a bloody chapter in human history.

Premium Member A Right Heart

A right heart
Will not be found,
laboring on seeming indiscretions of others;
But rather,
on the improprieties
Found lurking closer at hand.

Brain

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

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

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

Premium Member Should always listen to Mom

They wait for us in the dark,
lurking in the light of the moon.
We tremble when we're cornered,
no hope to escape any time soon.

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.

Premium Member Temptress

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 

soul!
