Grief

The pits of death
My broken heart
Skipping beats a warning
One day I guess my heart will stop
From living life in mourning.

Lilies of the Pond

White water lilies
Singing gospel hymns
Like a church choir while
Listening to a parade of pebbles
Splashing and skipping across the pond

Strangers

Willow tree leaning, hunched
Weeping leaves into steams skipping
Over stones and decaying twigs.

Ships that pass unseeing
In the shade.

His bright eyes like deep, dark pools
Skin so unblemished 
His walk---so swift and so smooth

He's skipping
To fourth grade
After the break

He's skipping
Half a year
And it has
Brought us cheer

2 c what
He knows
2 c how
He's grown

Premium Member Midnight Stroll

Skipping a rock from shore.
I loved to watch the ripples form.
Placid wrinkles in midsummer moonlight.

Premium Member Alone

Alone by a stream
  skipping stones
     aimlessly
No, that's too trite
  --randomly, perhaps
What's the use of
     pretending
that it's meaningful

One day I’ll become the Phantom
And enter your cozy room
To the winds, sans a hint
Skipping the Moon’s glint
And on your lips
I’ll impress
A kiss
Ishhh!

Fear

Nothing lasts
as long as it seems
the world made of concrete
or my heart
skipping a beat
with the rustling leaves
and the moving shadows
on the dark street.

holding hands and keeping things down low, 
no telling how far a friendship will go!
