Like a spider skirting around its' web
The Sun hustled about the clouds 
On golden legs
That spotted a re-folding sea.

Skirting The Line

Touching
without feeling
Looking
without seeing
Talking
without saying
Lost
— in the dark

Craggy snow-capped crowns,

                             Skirting skyline’s golden hue.

                           Windswept clouds, your gowns.

Illusion of Escape

Envision of ruins
soaked the agony
skirting around my cocoon
hesitation weaved
"If I could wander again"
ashes floated singing
an illusion of escape

Illuminates smiles
Baked golden brown then cooled
Portholes  jello jammed
Marshmellow skirting
Lip smacking

Out of All the Horses of This World

Out of the  horses of this world 
YOU had to arrive at my door 
beautiful, wild and free 
skirting the meadows of my soul 
you intoxicated me with 
your equine power and stun

FROZEN HEART


An icebreaker in 
The arctic, 
My love for you has become,
Skirting large ice caps of 
Indifference
That surrounds your desolate
Heart!

Wings In Song

Writing in verse
my voice
deep within

A rising  
butterfly
skirting the wind

Piercing
the silence
in harmony flies 

On wings
beating meter
— rhythm and rhyme

Moving Ahead

potholed , boulder strewn winding path up steep inclines unwavering goal water cascades down wearing , skirting , bounding rocks I will make my way

Premium Member The Hum of Sunrise

Quietly
The hum of sunrise
Awakens the day.
Cutting the familiar wake
Of an old butter knife
Un-noticed
Silent swans
Skirting the lily pads
Pass sunning turtles
Wary eyed muskrats
And bug-eyed frogs.

Being Allowed In Politics

Being Allowed in Politics

Wondered what in politics would be allowed,
That had occurred in people found in a crowd;
While blurting,
Issue skirting;
Hope in the end they would always be proud.

I seriously have my doubts though.

A Hobo's Last Prayer

Hitchhiking along a highway
that runs inside my mind

Revisiting the roads I’d crossed
while skirting all the lines

My thumb held high and searching
for what eyes no longer see

Along this path that takes me home
—returning unto thee

A Very Hurt Poem

Last night
moon was following me
discreetly,
skirting behind the trees.

A white splendor
drips,
like a dropped coin
on poor’s hand.

Did you see the blood
on roses?
The petals were wounded
in rain.

Casual violence
spreads in the streets.
I write a very hurt
poem.

The Gift of Wind

winding scarves on my face
blowing air through my skin
skirting around my legs searching
in my soul rooting out the pegs
of memory of other winds of
time    spaceless    nameless
places and scenes that are
past and gone lifted up out of
sorrow far away gone  gone
long gone free with the wind

Skirting The Downside

Everybody
wants to go
to Heaven
(but)
Nobody
wants
to die

Everybody
want to change
the truth
(but)
Nobody
wants
to lie

Everybody
wants to bend
 the law
(but)
Nobody
wants
to get caught

Everybody
wants to fall
in love
(but)
Nobody
wants  
— pain and loss

A Cricket Invades the Night

in a rumpled,
black city
homes are sliced in half
the equality demands
the rights of people

sometimes you love a 
tormentor
he will be able to wed, albeit
shyly, with the physical
cleaning the love’s deficit

how far the waiting will go
skirting the mist
it was there
in you
in me
a rapist
a serial killer

Premium Member To a Wild Witch

With flowing robes,
pungent herbs,
arching doors,
organic walls, 
and eerie lights,
you take on trappings
of one thought evil.
Yet in you beats
an open heart—
one always skirting
curdled customs,
sterile allegiances,
trivial tyrannies—
one ever seeking
reunions with roots,
transforming spaces,
raw possibilities.

As Autumn's Breeze

22/8/16
As Autumn’s Breeze

As Autumn’s Breeze
Grasps the leaves

Tugging the last
Golden coat fast

Stripping branches
Winter catches

Jack Frost skating
Skirting, waiting

Blizzards of snow
Imminent show

Flakes take shape
Winter awakes

Crystals cocoon
Minus temp looms

As Autumn’s Breeze
Prepares to Freeze

Alone and Watching

He planted his feet firmly on the ground
And resisted the urge to look around
Looking up he saw clouds skirting by
Against an azure blue summery sky

So he thought where should I be
Not standing alone with dreams to be free
But all he had were these moment alone
To ponder his fate as his chances were gone.

Walking Through Your Fire

It was all getting old
These endless things
Another year here: misery....
Yet this would divert nor appease
Her cold coming down ? A world in lost
Must we endure another day; these,
Chains their lies truth's, pain! Where is mercy ?
Thousands of years; his grave: slaves, she sings
While tears form our eyes; as skirting round about, nothing.

Waltz

Long left and long right
A head swings to and fro
Inside a waltz repeats a loop
Outside the world careless goes by
His foot swings like a pendulum
Banging on a skirting board
They might say
“It’s sad, he’s mad”
He might say
“I remember we danced, in a trance”
Longing left and longing right
His heart yearns for his love
That left that night

Norma Jean

"Norma Jean"


stuck out Einstein's 
tongue sticks out
as being among 

one of the most 
amazing things 

to see but then 
when i saw 
Marilyn's 

skirt skirting 
that grate that

was
greater
and so it was 

or would seem 
so they say 

Monroe's 
IQ was 
higher

than 
Albert's


after all she
never bombed
at the box office
