Larry On a Pedestal

Larry- you are my dove!
The poet I truly love,
Don't give me a shove
when you're the one
on a pedestal, always above!

toast with one leg 
pink gurus mocking
but don't bother to beg--
their pedestal secret,
such disciplined form
starts from the egg

Swinging On a Star

On a pedestal
High in the galaxies space
Your love is still bound
Warm arms of loving embrace
My life with “YOU” never ends.

Premium Member A Riddle a Wordsmith

You try to teach but don’t listen,
talking all over me again;
Threw up that riddle
from a high pedestal;
Tossed it to a wordsmith, I win.

Premium Member Obviously Chosen

Limit the minds ability to think
Perched they be upon pedestal stoop
Watching you run in this endless loop
Showing, Ye how emotions are linked


Atop

Atop your pedestal
Life is grand
Brain in pocket
Deed in hand

‘Tis a cage not a refuge
Ignorant bird
But “let’s all eat cake”
‘Twas all that was heard

Premium Member The why's and the what for's

It's lonely on a pedestal.
It's hard when failure is no option.
Everyone deserves a guardian angel.

The ego places itself on a pedestal, 
forming a personality, 
separate from the oneness of life.

The Cost of Love

A broken heart
A torn spirit
Shredded
Sacrificed
At the pedestal of love
Is the cost of saying
Those words - i love you

Pedestal

You float on high
In my sky
I abide.

You garden me
frustrate me
I am weeds.

When I see you
I see truth
I see through.

When I see you
I see through
I see truth.

everything grows with you...
love
courage
happiness
my belly
your family
my patience
my strength
I know I have you on a pedestal, but you look so good

...you always have my love

The Pedestal

How must it feel 

I wonder...

With just a look to have instant 

Appeal

Influence

Hunger

Poised on a Pedestal

With eyes lifted Above 

Indifferent

To the longing Below

Another Way

Chartered course,
veered off of.
Always thinking
I was the boss.
A boot in my behind
Knocked down the pedestal,
now must submit my will, my all.
A defeat you say?
No, just a better way.

Falling

I built a velvet covered pedestal 
I stood in an ornate frame
I drew a gold crown upon my head
I didn't measure the pedestal
I forgot the frame was fixed in place
I couldn't feel the weight of the crown

One-Sided Romance

I put you on a pedestal;
You take me down a notch.
I love you with an aching heart,
You know it never stops.
You are my one my only,
You probably have a few.
Well, today, I think I’ll say
I really don’t need you.

Instead of Standing Still

Instead of our priest standing still,
Must be placed on revolving pedestal;
When we see him will have a thrill.

Jim Horn

Our priest refuses to turn around
and look ar choir during his sermon
every once in a while.

Choose your words wisely – Don’t put people on a pedestal When they didn’t volunteer for the position We all fail sometimes - Don’t let your judgment be the only thing they remember

Hat Stand

Hat Stand

I call my oak hat stand who 
I don’t hang hats on 
Mr Admiral Confused and also 
Not Able to 
Think With Clarity. The east corner of 
my bedroom was where my 
old hat stand allegedly
beat up the 
old pedestal fan.

Premium Member They're Coming To Take You Away

ICE TO FRENCH LADY:

Show us your papers
Don’t tell us your story
Shut up!
Both hands up
What’s that flame?
A Molotov cocktail?
Get off your pedestal
And get in the car!
We don’t need no stinkin’ warrant
Get the pepper spray!

The Crystal Ball

The crystal ball is placed on a pedestal
shows the immediate future. 
I saw two faces in it.
One face was happy with tears in his eyes and
one face was sad with shine in his eyes.
The crystal ball is broken. 
How many years is it unfortunate?

Fallen

For many who tried on a pedestal to live
Acting as if this was they were meant to be
Lording it over those who were to help
Life has a way to remind us its karma
Ensure your pedestal is based on respect
Never expect respect if it is not earned

Slip of Tongue

Slip of Tongue

There is no greater degradation
Than falling from the pedestal of love
Cherished, adored, respected and wanton
After years of devotion, toil, and tears
As wife, mother, lover, friend,
Spouse, husband, father, provider
and reduced to Ex.

Premium Member Who's That

Statue, is that you
No it's not, it's me
Statues are made of plaster
They don't have skeleton or skin
So I think it's a disaster
To say I could be akin
To a statue
Statue has no credence at all
The only place a statue lives
Is on a pedestal in our hall
