Short Maneuvering Poems

She was a diva, diabolical, destroyer of mirth
Maneuvering her way into men’s hearts
She had sexy, chic, classy cunning ways...

Woke up this morning 
With air in my lungs
Ground sturdy beneath my feet
Knowing I can handle anything
Like frogger maneuvering the street...

on my journey to outer space 
cool, blue moonshine lights my path
maneuvering through glittering stars
sunrise breaking the Earth’s horizon
a new day has begun for all...

One thing leads to another, then to sex
To be perfectly honest, it's what guys expect
To sample her biscuit
Maneuvering his digits
Caressing all the territory below her neck...

One thing leads to another, then to sex
To be perfectly honest, it's what us guys expect
To sample her biscuit
Maneuvering his digits
No crevice unturned, a trembling I detect...

Zigzagged memories are easily recalled in my mind
Youthful hands playfully maneuvering an Etch A Sketch
Xeroxed veins have been forever etched into my elderly brain.

Succintly free
Filling us daily with hope
Rewiring our brains
Engulfing hearing,tasting and smelling 
Enriching the visual field
Driving  our thoughts
Overpowering life’s pores
Maneuvering odysseys...

     When maneuvering the world circus,
     The strongest human being in the world
       the wisest being in the universe... !
        if he were we would have limbo
      as in fact he is not, we will have hell!...

A precise and delicate art it is 
to learn how to capture the wind.
maneuvering it so gently through 
while guiding it where to go.
The sweet sounds that it plays
 melts your heart in every way.

cry long
Sound of madness contest

Maneuvering through an astroid field
Until my soul to God I did yield

Didn't create to make us mean
Or just be like a machine

Created in us a guide
Sure does beat suicide!

Know that I will fly away
Instead of a smashed pot of clay!...

Glimpse of radiance
maneuvering through her dark heart.
Rejuvenating.
Resuscitating.
Giving life and joy.

Radiance like a woman
swaying around her garden,
crowded with flowers.
It breaks through.
Glows so bright
It reminds her of the sun....

   Hurtling through the universe
     wings across the cosmos
   Maneuvering midst galaxies
     his body a joystick

   Experiencing a heady freedom
     like no man before him ... 
   What did he lack ~
     Why return to a broken home

Hearts on fire

Over heads that sire

New couple on the double

Every action becomes triple

Yearning for each other's hand

Maneuvering who has a better hand

On truth or consequence

Or Games of the General

No arbiter is allowed... just being real and literal!...

Maneuvering a maze
muddled and dazed but not
      mixed-up, I decided
my life must change in all
      mimes. The mirror I see
me via denies me
      my rumination of [?].

Paraplegic 

Wheelchair, catheter

Racing, dancing, maneuvering

Colourful rims and frame, colourful little person,

Singing, rhyming, mischievous

Surgery, bedridden,

Me

My feet feel their way
Along the rocky river bottom
Arms balancing
Waist bending
Ankles slipping, twisting,
Toes gripping on algae-covered stones
And maneuvering 
Through ice-cold hell
Hell 
Hell 
Hell

Until you.
A warm tuft of grass and clover
Soft and green
Ankles burning with warmth
Love
Salvation....

Summer night pulsing
Streak of jets landing
Sapphire lights winking

Minds ricocheting
Lovers embracing
Cologne, silk caressing

Muscle maneuvering
Luggage uplifting
Strength celebrating

Interstate soaring
Windows, dash, dancing
Jazz and soul rocking

Frequency sampling
Circuits infusing
Earth-force vibrating...

a supernatural force must have saved the reckless driver
the Ford she was maneuvering is scrunched in three ways
everyone who saw the auto said “the driver must be dead”
she is not dead
she has hitchhiked home to get the keys to her husband’s truck
she is driving to work in it
I know because this walking talking miracle who survived is me...

Stroll along the avenue,
Moist with morning’s dew,
Wear your finest garb
Contacts here are few.

From a distant window,
Lips as red as flame,
She watches and she waits alone,
Perched and tame!

She’ll bide her time while watching
Your every maneuvering tension,
Mordacious in her style, yet
Intenerate in her invention!

Ace the pilot could cut the Migs down fast
At an early age his future was cast
Great at navigation, and maneuvering too
What is the hold up on him asking Sue?

She has been waiting for ever so long.
They have been engaged since Neil Armstrong
They are not getting younger; their knees are bad.
“Why don’t you drop him?”  Says her sister “he is kind of a cad.”...

The arch she holds is quite Roman 
The barrel of my pistol is elongated 
Click---Click---Bang; the race has begun 
Swerving, maneuvering, and dodging 
Joined at the hip on the last lap
Cramps begin to set in 
Only one will survive 
With her intuitive mind she turns right,
leaving me left 
Breaking the finish line tape dramatically 
Welcome to the winner's circle...

Well, the path lengthened out
  past any horizon
the crickets and cicadas
  firing up their sweet strings

We headed toward heaven
  that late afternoon
thin lines of sweat o'er our lips
  fingertips poised to kiss

when the rains came
  our jackets torn off 
maneuvering for advantageous position
  steam floating o'er faraway plains

It’s of a great immense pleasure
To be with thou poesy!
Wherein the deeper organs
 Responds to the invisible senses
And the Inquisitive knowledge  
Reacts to the world unknown
Mines a longing mind
And it’s that mystic morphosis 
That lulls on maneuvering moods.
It’s quite curious to know; 
Where the whirlwind deep within
Ahead’s to & take shape.
Gives form to the uncertain norm,
And that longs me; to be with thou poesy!...
