Precipice

Precipice

Arizona cliffs
Above rippling waters' rush.
Floodwaters spill out.

Colour the Air Mad

She alone
climbs the precipice
the sword poised
above
delicious desire
torn fingers paint
the moment
colour the air
Mad!

Premium Member Tender of the Bow

tender of the bow…
variegated waft of heart
slowly beats faster…
   precipice of violin
      seizes upon the valley

The Edge

Standing on the precipice
The edge of this life
The end of this path
Of this legend-less map
From the ledge, it's a sight
Take another step?
I just might

Take a Dive

I take a dive from a precipice.
To escape my life as it is.
Deep water, deep gulp of air
on resurfacing, new life to share.
Thrilled now that I dare.

Premium Member Last Climb

Bone chilled, numb fingers
fight to clench the precipice
in frigid, thin air
against the restless mountains
he releases his burdens.

The Truth In Battle

Now we stand on the precipice. 

They lie before us in their own blood and corpses

Yet while we stand victorious, 

None who were there shall forget the horror of that battle.

Ethereal Morning

Seasonal precipice
eErie haze, becalm water
elongating obscurity
Binded
promisingly adorned cirrus
tinged fuscia, luster
Ascending radience
captivating        
Still

unnerving

Premium Member Covered with Sweat

    a crucial detail
    the key to the case
    slipped the attorney’s mind
    how could this happen
    to him now
 
    all by himself 
    on the precipice
    of triumph

Yosemite

Yosemite 

Frozen precipice.
Just around the bend…watching.
The white valley rests.
Glistened by the noonday sun.
Famous mountain waters fall.

Sparrows

A jaunty flutter leaps from a precipice of air. An ounce of bliss and fear fixed upon a needful moment. Common little sight, sparrow bright, sparrow blinking in and out.

Took Away Crown Trump Wore

Took Away Crown Trump Wore

Trump was President while wearing crown;
Not only that he was an incredible clown
Hard to reach;
Should impeach;
From precipice wish he would step down.

Premium Member Don't Move


Don't move
a muscle or dare
shift your mind.
We are balanced 
on the edge of a precipice
and to reach out
to one another 
could cause us to tip
and send us all
plunging downwards
into tolerance.

Stanza 1

Freak you off

Some parts 

In a passage

Of me

Taken in a stutter

Standing on

A precipice

In defeated 

         Embrace

If what I've done

Dedicated to a pennies flight

Premium Member Interregnum

The feeling that you are on the edge
of a precipice, and although things 
have been going downhill for a while, 
this tis either the final drop or not.

You’ve cast your vote for hope
yet can see darkness descending.

Premium Member Edges of a Dream

The quiet peace where webs of sleep enrapture,
in twilight thought - the precipice of dreaming.
It's there, the unmapped thresholds of conception
begin to splay within a sultry slumber
the embryos of covert premonitions...

suspension bridge closed

hanging from the precipice 

point of no return

butterfly wings from your heart

fly over valley of tears

Premium Member Break of Dawn

Send forth your waking sun to sway this slumber

I beg a breeze to bargain in my favor

My chains of memories shall break with morning

Please pull me from the precipice of peril

Or I might fall while Dawn is slowly rising

     PRECIPICE


      Precipice tempts to trek
      Particularly me,
      Partaking as trekker.
      Peak of hill with sharp edge.
      Peculiar structure.
      Piercing firmament.
      Pretty feeling to climb.
