Two-Edged Sword

Time is a predator
seeking to take away
our precious moments
never to be replayed.

Time is a mender
of much that is bad
smoothing over the sharp edges
making the past seem better.

Premium Member Seashore Blessing


I walked the beach and saw my footprints wash away with waves- 

smoothing the sand without a flaw, and I seemed blessed in holy clime 

as my soul, like trampled sand, felt healed by sea's baptizing hand.

Premium Member Pressed

Bending over she glides the hot iron
smoothing creases
easing folds
running
lines
pressed
over
stubborn folds
waiting their turn
to be folded neatly with two warm palms.

Premium Member The Bell

There is a sadness soothing to the soul,
And with its smoothing, Herakles made whole.
And deep within him, pealed a bell,
And those who hear, must harken well:
For from the void, its rhythms swell,
And all contrivance shall it quell!

The Sea

my house by the sea
smells of the salty air
as waves crash on the beach
the sound of the waves
as they cover the sand
smoothing the beach once again
erasing footsteps and castles
under the moon’s soft light
and the sea’s evening flow

Tides

Our love is like the tide.
It comes and goes in waves.
Smoothing out the footprints in the sands of yesterday.
How I wish I could hold you on the beach;
Kiss you from now until tomorrow.
Wishes.
Hopes.
Dreams.
All wash away.
Just like the tide.

Eternal Dancing (Alliteration)

Crashing crescendo creating

widening whirlpools

turbulent tides.

The endless eternal smashing smoothing

looming lava pinnacles pinned in

an everlasting embrace.

Wizened widening eyes stare

struck in awe 

at the bounteous beauty

dancing.

River and Lsd

The flowing river, water 
smoothing over pebbles, moss, 
the gleaming reach of leaves 
fanning the stream, and 
beyond the river, beneath the 
neighboring plain, 
Meaning
echoes in the warbling cry of 
sparrows: the river is more 
than it's purpose. The river is 
Life.

House Warming

Scents to bring the right attitude
Tapping into the inner fortitude
Dream lift out of the blue
Smoothing hurts wrinkles
Residue sprinkled
Pleasing every blockage  untamed
Making way for good days
Boat rides from bikes eyes
Noting the event 
From cloud nine
Lounging till the next find

Matthew Wants a New Blanket

the beginning was so bright.
sun rays casting through an open window
and shedding new light.
 
we swam under the cotton sea
and you said it felt like a movie.
we were so deeply in love.
 
with the fabric of us sprawled over your knees,
with a gentle hand smoothing its seams,
everything starts to unravel.

Another Night

All I need…

Is...

I’m scared. 

Because nothing works anymore!

Not even her smoothing my hair. 

As she kept vigil at my bedside. 

There was an urgency in her tears. 

As there was desperation in mine. 

As we waited. 

For sleep. 

As we hoped. 

For light to make its way into my nightmares.

Premium Member SOFT REMINDER

Twilight leans low  
over the lake,  
God’s quiet hand smoothing  
the day’s last breath.  

Water gathers the sky  
like a secret it promises  
not to spill~  
rose fading into lavender,  
lavender into blue-gray hush.  

A single ripple  
wanders toward shore,  
carrying this soft reminder~ 
even endings can glow.

I Thank You

I thank you for coming into my life
When bleakness had settled in.
I thank you for taking my hand when
I was low in spirit and needed a friend.

I thank you for bringing the smile
Back to my lips,
The tingle to my finger tips;
For smoothing the frown from 
My brow and most of all,
For loving me, the best way,
You knew how!

For the Love of a Poem

I approach a poem 
Just like a lover
I start on one end
And work my way to the other

Until each portion
That lies in between
Has been lovingly touched
Been felt and been seen

And with each touch
Smoothing out the lines
Improving the flow
Adjusting the rhymes

Until at last I reach
The poem's other side
Then I take it for
Its first test ride
Form: Rhyme

Starry Night

Bright across the top
Dark across the bottom
Making the trees and the rolling hills pop
Swift colors
Paving their way left to right
Smoothing over the canvas
With falling moonlight
They create a gentle breeze that flows
As if I were there
Experiencing it tickle my nose
It was the first piece of art I ever saw
And I knew that I wouldn’t forget it at all

Premium Member Questions

Wrestling in kitten-covered lawns,
Driving through your potato heart,
What did we begin?
When did we start?

Smoothing into your pixilated hair,
Bending into the fields with angels,
Why have we softened?
Where are the angles?

Ambrosia Wednesdays, Alfalfa Tuesdays,
Send me your message in big, bright colors.
How have we forgotten?
Who now sits in our old parlors?
