forces me to smile

dream sailing
in picasso’s wake

They hold and they mold
The hand that claps also slaps
Hands give and hands receive
Hands make life beautiful...

Tanka – Sea Slaps Shore

Somber cirrus clouds
gathered in tranquil blue sky
as boisterous sea
attacked melancholy shore,
slapping it with tidal waves....

is merely a mountain trail away ~ with a few hard slaps on the ass 

and if snags get in the way ~ dangle a carrot to break the impasse

Once there were clowns in a circus, 
Whose clown's knew not of their purpose.
None, laughed at their tricks.
Nor their slaps and kicks; 
Because Nuns hate fracas,n ruckus....

She felt the tepid skin of her thigh against her face
a teardrop straddling from her cheek
looking for hope in a dream
that always ended
as his slaps left
her welted skin...

Cold and icy sugar treat,
freezes my palate.
I’ll bite the end off my cone,
suck out liquid-freeze;
ice cream headache slaps;
bitter sweet
joy!

The dull clack of flip-flop slaps,
describes the taste of my water--
The smell of unscented candles,
like last night's forgotten dream--

Never cease my heart's percussion.

Endless nights, endless cries,

Asking why you have to die.

Wishing in a selfish way,

To trick death's trap in any way.

If only I could turn back time,

But truth slaps me hard from a beautiful lie....

Oceans breathe calm
rafts of jellyfish
breeze on paper lanterns

Piles creak under
wave's rise, blue arch weight
stick ,slow slaps, picket fence

Bowed rod reveals
tug of sea's intent
empty pail sits on pier...

Flickering golden lights dance in air
The stage is black, music crickets;
Sleeping birds hear not, their songs.
Nocturnal cats prowling
Find delightful treats
Full of protein
Crickets leap
And paw
Slaps!

Death, the howling, moaning wind
The dying can't ignore--
It scratches at the window pane
And slaps the shudder door.

Then cruelly taps upon the roof
With incessant, mocking strain--
And stops, but only for a breath,
Then begins to howl again....

ALPS


      Strong stable calm.
      Built rigid firm.

      Tough to reach top.
       Hard rock as prop.

      Wears nice ice caps.
       Frosty breeze slaps.

There should be clearer signs, 
as a relationship starts to break up
- the hiss of steam, a twist of smoke perhaps 
or debris distributed across a hot,
cloudless, summer evening sky.
That way, the force of recognition 
wouldn’t be so much of a slap....

Tiny dancer
upon the air
flits and flaps
buzzing slaps
of wings against
a light breeze.

A wind-up toy,
a filling station
for nature’s nectar
a buzzing
fluttering
mechanism of
delightful
elation, 
is
a
hummingbird.

Early morning dew
Hear the angels cry
Brooks of sorrow near
Wings of grayish stone
Freshly cut bouquets...

Frost slaps my face
Reality
I breathe live clouds
Exhale, exhale...

Sunrise dark
Without you
Sleep my love...

Snowdrops!!!
It's you???

Wake......

roadside leaves
are tired of  torture
every vehicle passing
slaps its face hard
a child fond of leaves
brutally plucks some
herd of  goats on transit
pick at some as they run
a dog that passes by
raises leg and makes it wet
roadside leaves suffer
but the world cares not...

wine and
legs

so soft
the foot never
fades rug 

wine and
thought

just a mirage 
a
shadow 
behind tree 

palm open,
the wine slaps
me

morning. 
actually afternoon 

time to socialize 
and leave me, 
to become him 
to impress others
to do job 
to survive...
