Soft Encounter

The morning sunlight
And night's breeze
Hit me in the face
Like the way
Eileen hit me between
My bones
And my skin.

Premium Member Feel

Breezes, sunshine and kisses feel as ever on my skin; in that way, I have not aged at all

Premium Member Life With Or Not

Jack Spratt's cat was not so fat.
In fact was long and thin.
Jack said "Cats can swallow fat
And also thighs and skin."


Premium Member Bones

Bones
jagged,
scabbed up skin;
But oh that fire;
Diamond in the rough;
Faded tattoos 
bloody smile 
simply 
shine.
Form: Ninette

Black Pepper

the silent doctor
ancient earliest known spice
so carminative 
should be used little little
good for skin and more uses

Premium Member Have You Seen Him

Hollow eyes
Sagging skin
Wounds undressed
Ashes strewn about
                his feet
A tremor 
     sunders his lips
Form: Imagism

Leaf

Lines.

Vascular, photosynthetic ravines,
Cut deeply into the skin;

They morph from scar into the heart's sustenance.
Form: Verse

The Dagger

The dagger flew 
into the skin
piercing the heart
gradually his face grew cold
his eyes grew dark
slowly he faded away

Vesper Bathing

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

Early Am Yoga

Sweltering skin upon sweltering skin,
Movement in the early morning heat,
My eyes are enlightened,
Without even opening.

Premium Member A Wet Embrace

a fine blanket of sand
toasts a calloused skin
a definitive bouquet
a calming pitch
the ocean embraces me
and I submit

The Lost Face

Forehead like a bed,
Ears sides the head,
Eyes twin,
Red lip skin,
Mouth south,
Cheek peaks,
Nose,a chin,
Face then?

Premium Member A Fearsome Blue Mask

Sporting skin-tight gloves
and a fearsome blue mask
  What do you mean
  "Is this a stick-up?"
How   dare    you    ask

Past Memories

Memories return
A persistent rash on the skin
Dirty fingernails
Whispers and echoes of mind
Represent care of some kind
Form: Tanka

The Feel of Skin

my snake
needs to
shed

she'd
agree if
she 

were
here
but even

though not
is a knot

por favor

untie
me

One of My Favorite Worlds

the ink is dripping from 
skin to delicate 
paper



Lost. 



is so beautiful,
so serene,
so still 

be here.

Wild Fire

The heat takes away my water,
The Flames lick my skin,
The smoke swallows me up.
My tenants flee from the unwanted guest.

Sun Bathing

Golden brown outside,
Necessity some believe;
Attractive skin tone.

Broken

Broken
I do not feel
My skin is numb when touched
Still waiting for the day to come

Marie Curie, the radiant,
In wits and style above the gradient.
Declared she that wigs would be "in"
Along with glowing skin.

and his skin more wrinkled, but
he's a better friend
than he was the day before --
my anniversary man.
