Magically settles nerves.
Sounds all the slower.
Feelings slowly overtake
My innermost mind's own core.

I hear the caw of a crow
smelling cut fresh grass

Quick and forever to forget.
The aftertaste 
of those words and all nerves 
sobbing spasms and tears.
Quick and forever to forget.

Certainly anything may happen-
Planets crash beyond the moon
Northern lights are our reward,
Heaven in his touch.

When pronounced in unison 
The eternal vows written

You can taste a lick of a chill 
tickling your nerves as you inhale

a bookshelf of nerves. 
walk into a library of nerves. 
pick a nerve.

Premium Member April Glowers

this endless rain
pains
like an idle
pent up *****
gnawing away at sanity
grinding nerves
into digestible bits
this
this is not
nourishment

Premium Member Take it down a notch or two

Take a chill pill, Alfie.
You're wired and need to calm down.
Take a long deep breath.

Premium Member Serene Countenance

You have nerves of steel, like everyone wants.
I admire your casual nonchalance.
A falling piano could not erase
the serene countenance on your face.

Blue Steel

Leather haberdashery, leather holster,
Blue steel, steady hands
Nerves controlled,
eye on the mark,
Squeeze, slow and steady,
Eruption and bullseye.

LOITER


Raw nerves now trigger
Loiter with wonder
Feel falling slumber
