day of promise
day of deceit
will we advance, retreat?

Hers, Mine, ours -
Open or closed

Moist tracks of my mermaid’s feet
Her heart beats with coastal heat
From her touch worries retreat….
With her I’m complete

Premium Member Silenced By Awe

mouth unable to form words
     then sounds of desperation
inspired by wisdoms presence
     awestruck I retreat into silence

Solitary Confinement

Haven of rest
A quiet tranquil recess
Balmy cove
My Solitary retreat
Hovel where nature calmly unfolds
Resuscitating faint soul

Rebuild

life can be retreat
make your up beat
mabe down hill
at a stand still
get up
not off the bad stuff
and fight  do it right
REBUILD

out of kilter
passion suspended
creativity
in retreat:
inner feelings
purple
weary
wavering
beyond solace-
living in the singular

Awake before dawn
The night's Boogeymen retreat
Into daytime  rest.

Television news
Fearmongers quickly step in
To fill up the void

Drifting Apart

Give and take
barbs
then retreat
to wounded silence
licking our lacerations
before picking up
where we left off
with the razor wires.

Surrender

And in the twilight we meet
All the pains we retreat
Against all odds down that street
Let us accept our defeat

Love is not ours to keep

Metaphor

Hath earnings might dissolve
Leaf sprinkles might dew
Stand on feelings might leave
Metaphor retreat might rain
Sensory reflect should human

i retreat to my fantasy world
i hover over a sea of waterlilies
dreamy magical and surreal

tropical retreat
                                       bestowed by clouds overture

Rabbits thrive beneath our sweet-potato vines, quite the cozy retreat~  
free flowers, fresh veggies, and rent so cheap they’ll never leave their suite.

Premium Member Who Agrees with Socrates


       Swindlers and charlatans 
           strut the world’s stage

         Decent folk beat a hasty retreat
           ‘tis the era’s outrage

Premium Member fifth dimension

four dimensional space-time
balances on a fulcrum
called our fifth dimension

a 'retreat' while
some four dimensional
knot sorts out

Premium Member March Green

March green leaps where winter shrinks
Clouds retreat as robin songs link
Gray bark leaks yellows and pinks
When lilac eyes of springtime wink

Retreat

poetry
becomes
that kind
of wish,
that soft
whisper,
my dearest
love, my
nearest star,
waiting 
in forever
moments
where
the world
can retreat.

the mayor told the police to retreat
a chop zone was born on the breech
in such a very short time
there were dozens of crimes
Seattleites deserve an apology

Journey's End

Who could look beyond horizons
To where the warmth of glowing Heat
Will ask the Angel in retreat
Smile upon a body wizened
Ageless soul still longs to find Him

            no retreat or surrender
