to the skeleton within
slinking about in my skin
let me thank its feet
a halloween treat
that i do not bump my shin.

tabby cat slinking
around the house, looking stealth
pouncing and prancing
lover, neat and sweet
purring for a stroke around
his silky neck

May I have the pleasure of this dance?
I hope I have a better chance
than the sliding snail you see and stalk,
slowly slinking on the sidewalk.

You
I know
My old foe
Slinking dark doubt
Then light said hello
To my shy smile
Banishing
Fear of
You.

Actions, fluid as air
Color, black as night
Eyes as bright as a full moons silver sea
Slinking throught the shadows
Untouched by time
An age old idol
In witch's lore

Pungent sounds sullen, sullying,
Feelings stark, severe, stressful,
Aflame, singed, searing, smoldering,
Thoughts surging, seeping, slinking,
Placid…As my eyes awaken…

Desires and hopes are strong
When plunging into a task headlong
always fear of failure comes along
Restricting us ,for fulfillment we long.
Fear is a slinking cat Is find beneath the lilacs of my mind.

Hearts torn asunder
the altar of love weeps
into mankind's service
Venom slinking, seeps
O, calm, reign supreme
peace, into the home stream
voices raised, rising, all is lost
Rancor's chorus exacts its cost

should joy or gratitude I find
and dance with them in dreams of bliss
dark anxious whispers will remind
that dangers lurk in hiddenness

Your dreams can be achieved,
but ambitions are at times deceived
by fear, that like an ophidian rust,
can turn your aspirations into dust

The wolf comes,
Slinking to your door,
Un-noticed.
Continue,
Blithely go your way, eyes closed.
Oblivious fool.

Another shadorma just for fun but heed the hidden warning anyway.
For he who has an ear.

The opposite of love is not hate
It is fear of change, difference, or mood
It sidles with a serpentine gait
Hiding, gathering ammo like it’s food..

Fear lies effortlessly in portending wait
to bare the intrinsic risk of chance.
View it not just as impending fate
nor play its victim by circumstance...

Putrid analog
Get back in your drawer
And mop up your scorn
From off the floor
A filthy wretch
With a shuffling gait
Draining creamy slop
Go back in your crate
Anachronistic stiffy
Slinking through time
Infinite punishment
For an infinite crime

6 pm the sun slinking down
birds of prey hovver potential feed
people gathered in the picnic area
a howling noise a stunning site
bats spew from the mountain top
twenty minutes and out of site
`til the dawn begins.

A paraphrase is shadow's child,
slinking in hallway white tiled.
It wears the shape, fills not the skin,
Echoes of fullness are lost within.
It carries a bag of phrases worn,
Tired entrails of the still-born.
A life, once full, is now gone.
With no meaning counted on.

SERPENTS’ SOIREE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Slinking silently, a slithering sight,
Seven silly snakes, under starlit night,
Sassy scales shimmering, shining so bright,
Sipped sweet scotch, subtle, smooth, and smokey,
Seeking to score and swap silly stories.

Gray brown coat hidden by the dark
slinking through each stark shadow
a lone howl caught and repeated
they hunt together this night
tracking their prey with sharp noses
following a rabbits track

Fear stalks indiscriminate thoughts
camouflaged by beauty's sweet scent.
And from safe shadows, schemes and plots,
leaving no clue, where the fear went.

Brittle.
Composure is a fragile thing
That should allow my heart to sing
So why when all is hearts and kisses
Do I suspect a viper’s hisses

ghoulish entities ooze from the bowels of graves
slurping and slinking around bushes and under porches
they are the night raiders, the soul stealers, the vampire’s minions.
I feel their presence, and my blood freezes. I cannot get warm enough.
They have arrived.
I am their destination tonight.

Empathy plays my poet’s heart
Most of my doubts concealed artfully
Worries play such a minor part,
As my poems are created heart-fully.

An exquisite feminine beauty with overt shyness
Soft body curves with charming face hiding wishes
Lulling secret desires but withholding emotional surge
Delicately weak, can’t boldly meet the masculine urge
