time is youthful girl
it snatches age pearl 
joint of bone 
feels weak-lorn
yet green hearts wish world

His three pointer was clearly a tank
His perfect shot just wouldn’t sank
So, he snatches the net down
And starts to act like a clown
Silly acting clown did the crank...

"The scent of your light 
envelopes all over and
spirits me away from here."

"And thus, I go with 
you; the sound of your shadow 
snatches me in this half light."...

Passion is an impulse
      of a rushing river
   that snatches our destiny...
   Love saves from the wind,
      a gentle breeze
    that caresses us in life
       tenderly... !...

Trapped necklace:
after a kiss of bee
to find the hive.

Honey spills from the
urns. I wet my moons in night.
Wind snatches a sun.

Let’s go back to bricks
for the moral blindness of
king without crown.

My eyes waste away with grief
Like the broken shells of a shattered egg
Deep down beneath the ocean of my heart I feel the scream
Lost in the gloomy clouds of confusion
I want to shout but fear and panic snatches my voice...

My mind keeps returning to the sense of a dream
Not even a clear memory, but snatches of a scene.
In my dreams, I remember other dreams.
Trying to explain that fractured cohesion to myself,
fully expecting one day to remember how to fly....

Peepers
Majestic queen
Mightily snatches prey
Aloof, haughty, and crazy quick
We are honored to serve her needs

Thoughts billowed out from the mind
All the disbeliefs and sins whirl around my soul
What's more...
The barbed arrow of time pierces into my heart
And as the witching hour dawned upon us
It snatches my breath away... Am I in hell?

Money can be a curse too
Whenever the man 
Becomes greedy
Overworked 
Stuggles for a living
Snatches for more 
Begs to make ends meet
Bribes for tne utmost 
Steals for easy going 
But still can't possess it
Forever 
(because he will die one day )...

Tiny black crabs climb
Up and down my arms and waist
As I drink the humid air

And taste of the salt
That the heron also knows
When she snatches at the clams

That lay at my feet,
Reflect color of my face
In shades of black, red and white...

In my dreams I relive moments of the past
snatches of images clouded with sounds
to see a face I once knew- once loved
now and again I just want to forget
resent the invasion of my dreams
the dream is but a dream
but the memory is real
and the pain like a stone in my heart....

Trappings of femininity
Cagey breasts, Alexandrian perfume
An act of seduction
Not stupid in blunt fingernails
Painted rose a caressing owl
Scratches blood and snatches wallet
In crafty hands Love towels roll
clod in time my flesh intersects
the heat, boot and crawling insects....

I can hear your laughter
While he listens at 
One of his friend's corny jokes
I can see his smile
While he gazes at his wife
With pure love 
A worldly man he was
While he gives advice to
His kids about the do's and don'ts
Suddenly, something snatches
His life away, leaving a trail
Of hurt and pain...

Snatches of time here and there,
to fill in the gaps.

A quick kiss in the rain
A word hello on the line
A note to fill the time.

It seems snatches are all we spend.
The time that we share are precious to me.
But they are still just snatches in-between.

Like the tide on the sand, the time passes quickly....

Is  
             When a tiny tot teeters on the brink of toddlerhood
             When your first love finds another
             When a reader discovers Hemingway
             When demob happy you exit the services
             When a treacherous IED is tripped
             When Death your soulmate snatches away....

the gentle tap of dainty fairy feet
as they dance the night away.
see the last flicker of their wings 
as their feet disappear into the midnight air.
hear them tap their shoes.
see them go into orbit and land at twilight.
hear their little whispers and cries for help 
as a goblin snatches them away.
and all that's left is a pair of fairy shoes....

Within the hurricane report,
Of which I just heard snatches,
A person on the radio said,
“Button down the hatches!”

So many people get things wrong
When idioms are used
And it is understandable 
For folks to be confused.

But “buttoning the hatches”
Wouldn’t help one to protect
Either property or relatives,
At least last time I checked....

My nephew 
     has severe autism 
He has a tough time in 
    this world 
I've taught him to sing snatches 
   of Nat Kind Cole's "NatureBoy" and the 
Lemon Piper's "Green Tambourine"
   We all love this kid 
It would break his mother's heart 
  If he wound up in a group home 
So have a kind thought 
    for Gabriel 
"We must love one another or die"...

Her good and grace
Placed in disgrace
As the human moment
And cheese-covered roadkill
Gets the best of her better soul
She snatches the dripping morsel
This Byzantine beauty lets it roll
Wiping the lost drop of nachoness
With dexterity and pedicured elegance
Only to lick it clean and nasty
Before anyone realizes
Her subtle act of triumph
Makes her one of us.

Sandwiched between noisy neighbours 
We hear them putting their labours
In screaming matches 
Boisterous snatches
Seems like they're fighting with sabers 

I wish we had placed soundproof glass 
So that no sound, no noise can pass
All would be quiet 
Unlike the riot
Our neighbours create and trespass

Specular reflection
Soaked in sea-cold water
Sports mirror eyes like cats
Spooky sight - second look
Snatches up what’s first missed.
        …Suspense of movie tune
     Shark bait is off the boat
