Short Maneuver Poems

Truth is poetry
   lie is dirty maneuver; ...
   Only few loves  truth,
   most admire  lie...

The house cat unlatched the cage door;

Squeezed in to then find he's done for.

A quick turn-about

Canary flew out!

Cat's stuck, and bird's free to explore!

Waste of my time
To care
You are going to do what You want anyway
I cannot set, determine nothing
Well if that is the way you want
You have it
I am not going to control, manipulate it or do any maneuver
You got it
So You have it
Don't ask me...

I woke up with a lizard tail today
Surprised? Not really. I have been in a bad mood for a while
It was scaly but cute
I was in awe of it at first
Until I realized how difficult it is to maneuver around a human toilet
Why me? I said to the cosmos. 
Why is it always me?...

Mayday, Mayday Kirk!
Transport to Galileo
Needs energizing

Running on impulse
All deflector shields are down
And venting plasma

Possible core breech
Romulan battle cruiser
De-cloaked and attacked

They've taken the ship
Corbomite Maneuver may
Be the last resort......

became 
an emotional 
demolition derby
stunt driver
learning to 
maneuver  
through out the
mood swing
triggers spread 
out through out 
the track 
nearly escaping 
explosions each 
and every day 
near emotional
death experiences 
became the norm 
occupational 
hazards...

They maneuver more slowly now
a hum of wings and shuffling feet
trailing the mist of fading warmth
staying closer to home and hive
supping on summer’s last morsels
collecting the nectar of dreams
to nurture the promise of hope

to write is what
makes her feel better 
she lives in a 
thick sheet of paper 
wording the thoughts
 to maneuver
she remembers such things 
like what you wore 
and perhaps hides it
within a metaphor 
and the words you once 
whispered in her ear 
she would jot them down 
in a paper she could tear...

THE WOMAN WHO WOULDN'T LISTEN TO HER HUSBAND

She would not think the way he did
How could one be so very bright 
Give all her passion to a cause
How could she have such skewered sight

He tried maneuver her with love
He tried to shout a bit and then
He thought he’d slap some sense in her
That’s when she left and said AMEN....

A light stroke of the sun caresses the soft features of your face just right
As dust particles dance in the morning light 

Surrounded by a thousand molecules careening about suspended in a sunbeam
You lay motionless deep in a daydream 

The seemingly choreographed specs maneuver in perpetual bliss
As serenity sneaks chaos a kiss...

A lunatic at CARE?
Then of thoughts beware!

Did life go out of style?
Nothing is worthwhile!

What's wrong with being happy and gay?
To the Lord I just might pray!

Slowly the light will come back
Sick of under satanic attack!

Resist Satan and he will flee
Sure brings happiness to me!

Maneuver through negativity
I just have to be!...

In the strategic game plan,
the king is the prime vulnerable,
to be defended, not to lose the game.
All the pieces shift as per dynamic scheme,
attack the opponent, break the defense
on the board in tactical skillful moves,
designed by mental maneuver 
to checkmate and win.

With least resistance reconcile
The truest course to travel 
The distance can’t be kept in miles
A wayward soul no map to follow
Directions held within your heart
The answers pure and simple
A journey set out from the start
Littered with threat of peril
Through many obstacles maneuver
Upon your path be true
And reach the place to whence you've come
Set perfectly for you...

For Natalia Kills


Are the majority
of things in
life controversies?
It seems like
there is always
another side
of the story
You have to
maneuver delicately
amidst the minefields
of trepidations that
pester your 
daily routine
Even simple decisions
can cause angst
Who to go out with?
Where to go? When?
Others are involved
making it hard
to appease everyone
Such is life...

place to fill 
within the 
heart 
the place that 
you once occupied 
now remains uninhabited 
placed an aid 
seeking new "friend"
to fill place in my heart 
many have answered the 
aid but none are able 
to fit the spot that 
you left behind 
try as i might to make 
someone else fit 
no one can no matter 
how much i try to 
maneuver the pieces 
they never fit into place 
anywere...

With heart-wrenched by the Holy Ghost, 
I seek God’s might* and wisdom with faith
to conquer adversaries midst spiritual battles
Since He alone can strategically maneuver me-
His submissive warrior
toward empowered triumph
thru the sword of His Spirit: His Word!

*Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”

Most days I go to the beach.  I like to sit
in the warm sand and watch the waves.

Like a parking lot, the beach is heaving
with day trippers who have come to play.

Mostly I like to watch the body surfers,
as they maneuver and swim out brave.

I have known this rush of speed and foam
crashing over the tops of breaking waves.

But lately I prefer to sit and breathe,
and catch some whiffs of my long lost days....

The bad stories that came your way
The good things you have thrown away
Most may maneuver to return on your way
So be alert every step on the life’s pathway
For we’re to learn from our wrongs on the way
And the good is never seen
Till it’s gone and forever unseen
Be proud you have a past 
Though our future doesn’t depends on our past
Let your proud past be a guide
To create a better future with pride...

Since times of old,
a man so tall,
will lean upon
a woman small.
Since first they met,
and their paths did cross,
they've tried to capture
time that's lost...
By the grace of God,
each day anew,
their strength combined
is more than two...
He's keen of eye
and sure of foot,
yet she sees things
he overlooks...
As they maneuver 'round
an iceberg's tip,
she lights the way,
and he guides the ship...

Mornings
My five-year-old son
Wheaties on his cheeks
Draws yellow flowers on my paycheck stubs.
When a grey cloud blocks the sun
He shakes his spoon at it, threatening extinction
And casts a fierce accusation my way.
Through holes of dreams
I maneuver escapes in the old Ford
Pick up hitchhikers who wear glasses.
Then summer takes a wet turn.
Dandelions, top-heavy, stagger
In the grass that needs cutting....

an old clock
turns from tic to toc

midnight falls away
from its loose slip knot

hands maneuver hands
to where dark declines

distant specks of time
burst into flame

if your eyes are asleep
you may hear these labors
in another place

within a space-less room perhaps
for the winding of old clocks

maybe the winder of your heart
has even now stepped over
a midnight pause

has about-faced
from your ticking...

Blindfold, sense the beat with your heart
memories in your muscle will move you
alignment to rhythmic body wave 
barrida sweep turns to a colgada spin
passion channeling embrace bending
gancho maneuver and a volcada lean
arms around, arms interlock 
feel the movement within 
synchronicity of one
body, mind and soul
when you discover the rhythm of my inner core
the circle is finally complete

Our days are broken  
The nights drag on
How many have paid the price 
For your self serving song
You will not scare me 
I have nothing to lose 
Moving ahead
We will play by the rules 
I have learned from a master 
How to maneuver his charm 
Accountability will reign and decide the cost of harm
I did not want this 
I loved you dear
You became greedy without any fear
And now 
Our days are broken
And 
The nights drag on.........................
