Premium Member ever wonder

Was the sun the catalyst
For altered pigments
Narrowed eyes

Genetics
Moving through the cycles
Of nature’s perfection

The moon a silence
Rocking us all to sleep

Premium Member waking up leopard

Leopard narrowed his yellow eyes for the night
His body is stretched across upper branch tight
He snores easily, but is awakened by a small boor
This small tasty mammal rustled across the jungle floor

Ancient Honey Hunter

Golden annihilation of a lion's 
    spring cover.
Endless tusk of an elephant's
    mind water.
Innard heaping stewards
       sponging
Blood for cleanse:
   Giant sky narrowed
   down
   to the dream of a bee.

Death of a Dog, a Friend

I looked at Life and Death
take turns in those weary eyes;
I felt the warmth of one
slowly change into shivering
then in the cold embrace of the other.
I looked at Life and Death:
I narrowed my eyelids and I cried.

To Pretend

Becoming irrelevant
  at last to yourself

The choices have narrowed
   the joy seldom felt

The present redundant
  what’s left in the end

The fodder of memory
  —and you to pretend

Never Let Go

Never let go 
Though the path is crooked, 
It is narrowed,
But mind not the thorns oh 
Brave and Noble seeker. 
Though you're a stranger, 
But you shall explore 
Well enough to restore 
Hope to the dying ones. 
Once with a courageous veil 
You'll end the wail.

Premium Member The Day I Faced a Peacock

The day I faced a peacock was the first day of the rest of my life.
We discussed politics, religion, and argued with all kinds of strife.
This peacock’s eyes narrowed, I could see by his beak he did not agree.
Without malice or gloating, I admit this did not bother me.

Desire

Desire His wide shoulders Flowed to narrowed waist Her eyes locked on his vast manhood Muscled sculpture captured smooth perfection Her tongue caressed his lower lip Spreading thighs he entered Fulfilling her Desire © Kim van Breda – 22 October 2014

A Positive Line

Respect and regard, people feel honour as appreciation.
Pleasureness encouraged them to raise explanation.
when you ignore a person means you cut  a support line,
you narrowed a cycle for living, did you draw a positive line?
you realized others you are a person of reserve nature.

Premium Member If I Can Just Get To That Tree

A spotted leopard in a banyan tree,
Kept his yellow carnivore-ic eyes on me.
I knew better than to move fast or try to flee.
Big cats love a chase like Simon Legree.
His eyes narrowed, but I refused to see.
How fast that cat was chasing after me.
If I can just get to that tall tall….

Trying To Give God a Headache

What words would adorn
That sleepless life
to show what once was
Some would leave their lovers wisp
Some paste date and time
A line of prose
poisoned by the reader
A stolen angel facade
A dusty name
So my words upon my grave
I have narrowed to the two
either
Sorry
or
Dont turn round

Premium Member The Abused Spouse

He gave her the look
Reminding her instantly 
that he was disgusting and bad
It no longer startled her

I am sorry she said 
This came out as a half whisper
His eyes narrowed
She began to tremble. 

Whatever happened now
She knew she deserved
His face and careful conditioning
Convinced her of that

Pulling Her Leg

jokingly i told her
i'd start at her
toes no matter
which foot

as a matter
of fact her
left little toe
is a little

weird like mine
like most folks
but then these
aren't just

anyone's these
are her feet
narrowed down
to a foot

specifically her
left but i won't
leave until i've
satisfied her

Tumultuous Thoughts, Away

Come, ghost mine, just for a minute
Let us dance you and I between the waves and the dwindled
	Feather of a dream.
In this narrowed path where the stars and the night
	Will flow through our skins. 

Come, my journey!
I remember you, and you are the only 
		One who had made me cry a hundred of miles away 
			By the unholy despair.

When In Thought

When in thought I sulk- Narrowed down to a single fault Like my heart is a prize, and my thoughts are the vault; just as soon, as I almost spit them out- I halt. It's days like these, I wish only for a calming breeze- So that I may breathe; Properly grieve, But really its only a tease- For open sorrow just isn't me.

Premium Member Road Trip

Rolling down the dusty unmade road
Over the rackety bridge we rode
A slow trickle of water under it flowed
Driving on even though the road narrowed

Tranquillity not at all overshadowed
Room to breath without feeling harrowed
Inner paths stretch leading to the highroad
Places now flash by, some of them hallowed

Take Me To a Lover

My heart 
Swung between two clouds  
My face 
Fell above a bunch of thorns
My ears  
Ran behind the neighing of love 
My steps  
Fell down on the brink of death 
My arms 
Opened to the light of heaven  
My eyelids 
Closed on the sadness  
And my chest  
Narrowed on the pulse of my heart  

Oh God for now 
Take me to a lover knows how to love!

Venetian Blinds...

Levels horizontally fixed
angles of light are tightly fit
geometrically spaced slats
fragmenting our perception flat

Narrowed slits squinted view
awkward sight for most in lewd
unaware of drawstring near
lifting veils vision clear.....

Trapped below the shadow of self
angled heights obscuring shelf
empty pantry up above
as lower self continues shove

Nevermind

Waiting for an epiphany
Something…anything…
A life in transit
Keyhole visions… narrowed too fine
Cynicism, mockery doing rounds
Despairing times… out of bounds

What could’ve been and what is…
Funny how the story doesn’t change
Driftwood listless, aimless
Who is your huckleberry finn?
Hypocrisies, deceit, lies and everything lame
That just leaves god left to blame

Reality Slips

REALITY SLIPS my princess slipped face down into a shadow stars fell down from a crown hallowed my heart narrowed absorbing bullet shells nights of dark moons absorbed hell a mind harrowed in false realms dwells reality slips losing grip becoming that shell sands of the infinite seem sublime and my shell will decline © Kim van Breda

Narrowing Tracks

Grit flies from spinning rubber,
the traffic is edging through roads,
narrowed, by the plowed and pushed aside.

Curb-side snow remains; solid humps turn brown,
in an un-melting light.

A lone chicken hawk circles an iced-over acre
of snaking roadway,

its black track attracts the birds eye,
as if it were the contrail of an elongated rat,
stretching into a bolt- hole of frozen sky.

Facetime

FaceTime's not replace-time 
But I'd say it's second best
For connecting with your loved ones
Gives those missing-yous a rest.

You can see them, you can hear them
And, although you cannot touch,
You feel like you're right beside them 
And I like that, oh so much.

In these modern times, a distance,
Even that of many miles,
Can be narrowed using FaceTime,
Bringing happiness and smiles.

Picking a Favorite

With so many Disney Characters It’s hard to pick only one There were many that I liked so much They were all just so such fun The only way I can make a pick Is by thinking like a kid I thought and thought til my brain boiled I almost blew off my lid At last I narrowed it down to one Finally became unstuck It’s the one I learned to imitate I could talk like Donald Duck

Heart Was Broken

When the heart is hurt 
The mind is filled with Sadness 
The Night was a Nightmare 
Days has passed by

Life has changed 
Soul was fed with Confusion 
My Soul was Betrayed 
I was lost in the Dark

Used to live in distress 
Eyes were filled tears
Future was narrowed 
Eternal peace was the only Solution

Self love was lost
Love was lost in the mist
Dreams were shadowed 
Blood everywhere 
Heart was Broken???
