Long red tresses softly fall

   Upon my naked shoulders.

As I step into the stream,
  
    Your smile beckons me.

Stones

Stones_
a fondation 
a strength 
to carry everything
pronounced on its shoulders
so tall
_thick
and it never falls

Pointblank

when he pulled the trigger,within his boots, his legs shook;
too his narrow shoulders, but his conscience not; he smiled

March On

Once a week, rain or shine.
School assembly marching time,
Shoulders back, tall or proud,
Marching music, totally loud.

I hate the way he holds me,
around my shoulders
and my waist.
I miss the way you look at me,
I miss the way
you taste.

Star berry soap suds
midnight moon as my witness
River skin shoulders
shivering a quiet cool
lapsing into liquid pools~

A listener's ear,
simpatico, soft shoulders,
collecting tear stains,
from my variegated voice,
the empty air has become.

Cold Shoulders

Your Passive Aggressive Snub burns me deep - Your roll away from Me blistering, While I Shiver Cold

Excerpt From An Unfinished Poem

my shoulders are broad
my back is strong

maybe I was born to carry all of this
maybe I was never meant to put it down

When against
day’s light 
I tend my sorrows

warming stones
upon my shoulders
lay.

First Light

The first morning light
Green and red rubbing shoulders
Pebbles and boulders

Premium Member Highway

highway drive:
high hills and headlands,
headlights on,
hard shoulders,
is this the highway to hell?
or heaven's highroad?

The Sky Is Low

Standing with shoulders high
My sinking boat hangs on her ocean’s tide
Trolling her confined shores
Over there the sky is low

Thirsty Moonlight

Haunted silver moon
Play your melodic tune
Thirsty moonlight dwells 
Behind the shoulders of
The Indian white Sycamore trees

Her Silence

flowers in her hair
music on the wind
feelings on my shoulders
liquor on my breath
the words I speak
you could hear a pin drop

Two worlds, four shoulders
Whole universe above us
Taking the first step
I'll gladly take the burden,
But won't be taken lightly

beach filled dreams within a dream
sun on my shoulders
swimming to your shoreline heart
blue filter abode

"washed Away"

The shower water
                 dances fast off my shoulders

childhood shoulders
incline
toward one another
wrinkles
leave no place
for strangers
memories fill in
the gap of time

Skeleton Tree At Sunset

mangled phalanges
reach from haunched spectral shoulders
death screams at dusk

Ping

There is a magic zing-- a nice warm cheer
When with eyes, a-twinkling
On soft shoulders, each-clinging
Two hearts attuned, are singing.

He cannot answer how tall he is
no matter how much we implore me…
for he proudly stand on the shoulders 
of all those who came before him.”

Premium Member Emity

Throbbing trances hankering 
for raindrops of devotion,

I stood frigid in cold logic,

Melted with warmth of his 
leather jacket on my shoulders.
