Pardon for fingers
Body painting my fixed face—
Marking up a scene
Of raw phantasms that look
Like they're falling for my tears.

gently marking time 
we watch soul climb
the ladder to heaven

all is within of course
so we employ no force
as heart lotus blossoms

Shifting into tomorrow,

The RPM’s marking time and space

To Vote In Comfort

To carry a pen from home
Staying distance in queues
Safe fingers from marking ink
One more hour to make 
At poll this time to vote 
For whose comfort?

Somepeople

Some people 
Shred and devour
Marking time
By the hour
Crunching, munching
On my soul
Til bit by bit
There is a hole
Where once I lay
Pure and whole

Marking deep footsteps 

of a youthful antelope

along thickened woodland--

earth's glory is replete

with a creature in motion.

when some things stop
others begin
it is fractals

marking density
patterns of voids
as spaces

in infinite
relativities
subject to laws of nature

Premium Member Dogs-be-gone!

All the neighborhood dogs I can see,
have now lined up at MY back yard tree.
What a nerve they’ve all got
to be marking that spot.
Dogs-be-gone! That is MY place to pee!

The hand

Lo the hand from heaven descends among the cacophonies of the puppers

All at once, all is silence. The scritches from the divine hand marking the movement of the horrid itch

The Hour Glass

The beauty of an hour glass that flows so softly

As it cascades gently, from one life to another

Marking its place in time 

With each tiny drop of sand~

There before us are two roads cut evenly through the field,
Left road marking the moons steady journey beyond the horizon,
Perhaps the Sun traveled the right road at the speed of light!

Marigolds bloom for you,
Morning light breaking through,
Memories old, yet true,
Marking paths we've once crossed,
Majesty never lost,
Mirrors of love’s soft glow,
Mellowing hearts, we grow.

A Bachhanalian Feast of Time

All I've done
is eat and drink
to lull myself
to sleep
my senses
dulled
with food and wine
I know
I'm marking time
wishing my life away
dulled
with food and wine
gorging myself to sleep.

Judgment

Atheistic belief causes dire effects. 
For God has innumerable judgments; 
Keeping logs; marking names of people quietly;
Routinely serving those unbridled vengeance
without xanthate; Yahweh's zest.

the year went by slow
slowly like a rock-a-bye
lullabies lulling
and here we are once again
spinners marking time — heave-ho*

Still Needs Some Work.

Scattered lights scar
The darkness below,
Marking the past years memories
As I leave it behind.
We fly towards
The sun, now rising through the
Clouds, peeking over,
Welcoming me to
A new Beginning.

Temptation

Ladybugs
outline the memory of my childhood,
marking the pathway of my approach

Orange and black
like Halloween candy corn, 
tempting diversion—they lure to encroach
