Premium Member Hanky Panky

Waves slapping me all over my body
rocked by the riptide of your embrace;
Rough and tumble hanky panky,
there is nothing left to chase.

Premium Member A Bare-Knuckle Fight

Politics has always been rough and tumble
  a bare-knuckle fight in a concrete jungle

Those who preach togetherness and unity
  flail their arms at windmills uselessly

Premium Member FBI TV

rough and tumble fight fight fight
F.B.I. show on TV tonight
jackhammer sounds, gunfire too
battling a huge quagmire in blue

bodies flying through the air
grabbing guns without a care
rough and tumble fight fight fight
F.B.I. show on TV tonight

I get a little bolder getting older since my unravel, voice travels to my Beholder. Rough and tumble, rolls along, but you’re not wrong if you are shrinking, not thinking lyrics to a song… ————

Companion

Treading life through its rough and tumble
Tossed into its deepest abyss
 Find myself face to face with
Those limpid pools of adoration
Assuaging  my ruffled emotions

All dads make daughters feel special
Mine being no exception
He walks in step with me
Flying down from Heaven.

Boys To Men

Fire trucks and building blocks
Puppy poop and muddy shoes
These are the tools of boyhood
Gone too quickly to be of mind

Soon it’s cars and motorcycles
Football, rugby and hockey
Rough and tumble sports
Turn little boys into young men

Moms wonder where their angel went
And who is this man in their kitchen
Young maidens start a new chapter
It begins again with the next generation

Chew Toys

In the window of a pet shop 
Is a prominent display
Of the type of chew toys dogs would love
For rough and tumble play.

Some are shaped like bones or hot dogs
But to really make pets jump,
There are soft dolls which resemble
Either Hillary or Trump.

As a chew toy, they’re quite brilliant
But I’ll bet they’ll soon be gone
When the pet-less realize they would work
To practice voodoo on!

Sleep and I

Rough and tumble like a wasp getting pulled into the sludgy earth.
Sleep and I.
Gave up twilight.
Separated.
We both eat butterfly legs or so we think.
Sleep and I tangle with other stuff like old coffee mugs with a musty smell.
And chalk boards in a secret room that I thought was hidden by keeping my eyes open.
I feast on whatever is left on the floor.
After most stuff sinks in.
Sleep borrows stuff like that.

Euphoria

Our love is fun and oh, so very intense
Unruly passion so surreal, so immense,
Ah, It’s more than just glitter and sparkle
Like splash of honey on blueberry waffle…
We rough and tumble, a free-for-all tackle!

So here we are engulfed in a dire vortex
A whirlwind of unbridled romantic sex,
Tell to the moon to hide behind the cloud
To the lord of thunder not to rumble aloud
O queen of night, hide us in your dark shroud!

Water For the Flower

Somehow I may still love you
for all frustrations find,
though rough and tumble you do,
your kiss is very kind.

You really may still love me
enough that you may spare
results that voids the cruelty
of poignant truths that care.

though each may love the other,
hugs tight the hurt of harm,
grounding the hearts of lovers 
brings everlasting charm.

So now when things grow sour,
enlightening causing pain,
its the water for the flower,
that's love's hard-shower rain.
