Like Needle and Thread

in an unseen giant's hands:

the deft squirrels probing,

penetrating lush leafage,

spanning tangled trees' branches.

Walking shadow 
Untouched and selfless part 
Spanning different world 

Celebrate pure 
Beauty residing forever 
Valentine beyond life

Lazy Assumptions

Its always there.
And no doubting
Turmoil-spanning, will ever be.
As firm, in bridge
Heart, Love bolsters.
Walked all over; too casually.

Snow
Stretches
On grey beams
Spanning our walk
So over the misty water we dream

Moon Lit Sky of Stars

A moon lit sky of stars
Spanning far and wide
Preserved on the shelf in jars
A moon lit sky of stars
Sleeping amongst the sand bars
Listing to the rolling tide
A moon lit sky of stars
Spanning far and wide
Form: Triolet

Day's Mountain

Mountainside laced with light
Carved of ice and snow.
Bubbling pools
Spanning wings
Scanning rocked plateaus.
Trees towering high
Chirps and chimes of tempo.
Reaching leaves
Gifting rays
Giving off to tomorrow.

Premium Member Shadow of Tears

Watch how the light and dark play 

and place the spotlight on her,

caterwauling in pig-tails,

wetting our black paradise.

Her spidery silhouette  

of tears, spanning these lost streets,

coaxes roses from potholes.
Form: Verse

Untitled #48 / Til;Es of Remembrance

Tiles of remembrance of classes
long past, replacing blankness
painted handprints and colors and smiles
spanning the length of the ceiling, forever
reserved for the posterity of wandering eyes.
How glorious the sunset! Our days unforgotten!
Form: Ode

Premium Member The Praying Field

The battle lions are drawn
Syruped upon the wind
Spanning a silence fraught with the nervous and the calm.

Sultry the nanimals linger in the praying field
Lurid with cranberry eyes they touch.

In touch with you and me.
So step outside and see.
How many things you can be.

Gods Country

Gods Country

Gods country as a whole
Is a whole country united
A whole continent un-subdivided
Without senseless violence
In any shape or form.
Unlined
with barbed wire strung tight
Spanning the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Simultaneously
 all of it, and none of it 
private.

Pictures of An Angel

Beauty spanning the years
As delicious to my eyes,
As Mozart is to my ears

Stunning, stunning...
Wordless to describe,
The visions of loveliness
As a doctor might perscribe

An envelope filled with love,
I thank my God above,
How ever I captured thee,
Will be a mystery to me.

Secrets

Never felt so close
Yet so far away
At the same time
Mystery surrounds
Your every word
Seperating us
Like a bridge
Distancing our hearts
Spanning for what seemed like eternity
Until my love for you perished
Forever buried with the secrets 
That you kept locked away
Inside your broken soul

War Factory

War
Drawn out from Factories 
in Assembly line 
as always seen
spanning
all kind and all time
horizons

War
Blueprinted consistently
to win an idea or a space
or anything our fancy

War
Somebody has a right
and the supremacy
to feel bored 
why should everybody
feel we are all right
we are intact

Cookie Cutter

Driving through the broken, potholed streets Lined with houses spanning decades Each with a thousandfold more character than that of the cookie cutter impostors they call homes I appreciate the creaks and groans Much more than the sheen of granite stones Value comes down to values. What are yours?

Generations

time passes

in a way where

we don’t see blood

pass from generation

to generation

too slow to be seen

by the human eye

the same blood runs

through different veins

with age and over time

it is only when we

observe generations

together in a mirror

spanning these years

can we detect its flow

Humpbacked Bridge

yonder is my town's old bridge,

     grayish, humpbacked, but still strong,

         still spanning my gaping years

            like lyrics weaving my song;


           like a bright picture postcard

      framed by my car's glass window,

             stirring youthful memories

        that gladden my soul, you know.

Premium Member Observe

Spells of luscious sound and wondrous vision
bells that fill the air with mystic tones
wells of crystal cascades sating endless thirst 
dells a golden haunt for clustered stones

Wings propel red robin’s noonday flight 
rings affirm a passion spanning many lives
things we hoard and blindly cast away
Kings and Queens who feast at royal beehives
Form: Lento

Cedar

Cloud tree, layer tree of magical lands,
An underworld, a heaven with different Earths between,
Provider of a variety of planes,
All floating, suspended, spanning their space.

Each strata reaching, stretching, fanning in the slow, slow race,
Competing with the trunk as it thickens, broadens, increases in height,
And so the enchanted lands widen adding to the might.

Of Bittersweet Memories

We met, we touched, we loved;
in the moment we were one.
As time faded, we melted:
each flowing into each other.
Today, silent sounds
penetrate the distance;
the bridge of time spanning
love’s troubled waters—

And now I sit all alone
in the crowd of my thoughts,
sipping realities 
from a filled cup
of bittersweet memories:
I miss you terribly.

Premium Member Banana Spider


   Banana Spider has kept close
   Been many a bug's host
   
   Dancing with yellow striped, black legs
   Wrapping up what she likes most

   Golden threads make up her web
   Spanning from tree to house

   Helps keep the porch bug free
   Thats why she stays with me

   She's allowed to stay
   Until her final day

   Only a year until she disappears
   Then her babies will reappear

Fall In the North

Red noses and cold hands
Piles of leaves spanning entire lands
Coats and gloves replacing fans
This is what fall is
The crunch of leaves
The return of long sleeves
Excitement on All Hallows' Eve
This is what fall is
Early night
The cold gives a bite
The ground might be covered in white
This is what fall is
The start of school
The air turns cool
Decorations that look like ghouls
This is what fall is
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member Tears Taste

In the midst of weeping with a salty aftertaste. There is a warm embrace of light, not waste. Some stories are cloaked in frantic haste. This is emerging in the midst of the chaste. Lost to history, the tales of heroes and baste. I'd wish to walk to the beach and lambaste. While immersed in the eons-spanning waist. The place of plentiful smiles and fish paste.
