Falcon take flight
For I cannot
Skim the clouds atop the wind
Carrying dreams on pointed wings
Fly for me, falcon.
Fly.

Let the breath of your mouth skim across my skin. Let your tongue trace every crevice, every ridge and curve, every valley and in between.

The time is now such
All must Dutch up.'
In 2023 speak out free.!
Value freedoms prize
Not humanity's demise
There's scum afloat
On a stagnant moat.'
Skim the surface
And ready the boats '

The Web never rests,
nor do our needs for connections.
We skim and drown, pop up again
emoji minds blinking.
Mostly we are just Peter Pans
surfing with all the other
lost girls and boys.

Stars skim the Milky Way
Perspire molten dew
Engulf the soundless wonderment
and blow it into view
Down below the aquifer
of clouds and palpitations
we watch burnt skies ignite and fly
beyond imaginations...

Bees are buzzing in their hives
A pony tail swish, deters the flies
Long grass waves, majestic in the wind
And over the pond the dragonflies skim
This halcyon place you love to be
Brings peace and joy eternally.

Days of Life of Trump
As days of Trump's life increased
He became more of a filthy beast
Some say that they even caught him
From bottom of barrel trying to skim
All of his area should be well policed.

When your fingers skim my skin,
I quake knowing it’s you,
Every moment spent should be treasured,
You bubble over with appreciation,
Appreciation for me?
Since the second you opened door 108,
I knew inside me,
Mine.

oars barely skim the surface
skiff glides smoothly
as if floating on the dense fog
cormorants perch on pilings
silence broken by hungry gulls
rising sun glistens water
salt air invigorates my being
memories engulf me

Kenny's retiring, no more touring for him
Perhaps I could take his place, still got vigor and vim
No one would know
Attending a show
Absolute millions from this charade I could skim

Lost time runs fast into star-fire
past moon-glow into deep mind,
flows fast past dawn, soft dusk, then tires.
Wait, wake true-time, meld into mind,
skim safe, sail sure, take back time
seek your star, true-time from fire-kind.

Isn't it thrilling
I am willing
to meet another?
Physical touch
in the dark
lights a spark.
Lick of lips .
Tip of tongue.
The act has begun.
Fingertips lightly
skim the skin.
Let's begin.
Anticipation
of you sire
lights my fire.

Five hours straight
Through the night.
Fingers pitch black
In old moonlight.
Skim milky mountain waves,
Peak tree greetings.
Signal flare kite,
Dive right!
River willow window,
Coat rack recruit.
Red bedding pillow,
Plastic tomb salute.

Flocks of razor-beaked gulls
skim the beach.
It is the birthing time.
Baby turtles flap flippers
as they try to swim on sand.
The sun glares and pins -
down this struggle for life
with a burning indifference,
as hunger fulfills its promise.

Sessions and Recluse Himself
Whole system Sessions is starting to abuse;
To save hos own skim himself did recluse;
We were horrified,
That he had lied;
Trying to settle things down and them diffuse.

A wild thing at heart,
untameable at best.
Going insane in cages,
locked away, no rest.
Fleeing into the wind,
the forest calling out.
Run away from cities,
far beyond a doubt.
Skim across the sea,
lost inside the forest.
Free the raging heart,
it always was the fastest.

The Web never rests,
nor does our need for connections.
We bobble,
nod over looming edges,
skim and drown,
pop up again
emoji minds blinking.
We’re down with it,
but mostly we are just Peter Pans
surfing with all the other
lost girls and boys.

Let me glide with you
Let me truly feel free
Let us fly through white fluffiness
Let us skim the vast sea
Let us enjoy the warmth of a days sunshine
Let us inhale the mystery and beauty of night
Let us eternally glide together
Let us for evermore be in full flight

fingers skim flesh,
a passion burned trail,
strong will and bright light,
now timid and frail,
what was once so sweet,
now leaves me in tears,
a comforting smile,
now the star of my fears,
a battered old vessel,
once filled to the brim,
and warmth seeping out,
of the flesh fingers skim.

I'm shopping for Santa.
He's not good with money.
He'll us up my credit
and laugh like it's funny.
He says he's not perfect
but what can he do.
With Christmas time coming
we'll all need to woo.
So spend what you have to
and say it's for him.
And know in your spirit
a Saint comes to skim.

The sun shimmers over the rippling river
seemingly chasing the water spiders.
Long grasses mixed with wild flowers
weave back and forth along the banks.
Turtles sunbathe on an exposed log
jutting out from beneath the waters.
What a spectacular day
to skim seamlessly through the water
in my new canoe!

it slips her frame
the tiniest falls of water
cascade her curves
fingertips scratch
the liquid skim
trembled tremors timbre's
over the tensile taut
green splinters
in slashes of light
does she float
or does the water
raise her in their hands
in a hero's praise
its hold
of her reflection
just too long
