Longing To Recoup

sprinting to make up for wasted years lost
youth of wanton delusion
squandering idleness

Long Haul

You think I'm sprinting...
This is just the beginning,
Not even sweating
My heart is barely beating
Living for long-haul loving

The 5-0

Running, breathing, jumping, dodging,
Chasing, huffing, sprinting, spitting,
Quckly thinking, turning, beating,
Running hard, getting tired.

Track

I really love to sprint,  
my favorite is the relays,
Handing the baton off one by one, 
To the finish line I come. 
Sprinting is what I love.

Rain People

you'd think they were daggers not drops
the way they hunch over and stagger
sprinting for cover- faces of pain
for heaven's sake people
it's only rain!

Makita V: Orange Draught

White fences groan
In fuchsia fingered sighs
Passion sprinting
Along aging sands
Whilst from diamond straightjackets
Black snow descends
To a fine, orange death

When I saw Dilly dally

When I saw Dilly dally
I thought, "Oh no, this kid's got to rally!
Cuz if he loses this race,
it'll be a total disgrace,
cuz this race was right up his alley.

Habitat of the Mind

At times the mind is a wild horse.
Sprinting over the plains in a thunderstorm.
Sometimes it's a willow in an angel dream...
Dancing merrily above a mountain stream.
But mostly it dwells in the misty dells of somewhere in between.

Lean and Furry

                               Feline
                        Lean and furry
               Stalking sprinting panting
              The fastest cat in the forest
                             Cheetah

New Moments Explode

Like the marathons of my
  forgotten youth

I now shy away from the 
  longer poems

Sprinting restlessly anxious
  through the waning light

New moments explode
  —the old voluminous tomes

The Flood

My eyes go into the skies
Like dark flame
My legs sink into the sand
Like dirt in water
The ice in the rain
Swirls and whacks my head
The flood, sprinting towards me
Its malice, chasing me to the thatch
That burns in the depth
Of the dark

Gymnastics State Meet

Before I compete at State Meet,
When I'm swinging on the bar,
While I'm sprinting toward the vault,
I imaging myself wearing gold.

Even though I'm nervous,
Even if I'm scared,
Since I've worked so hard, 
I long not to just imagine, but to achieve.

Vignette-Winning Gold

He won gold,sprinting apace
Yet on a Sunday would not race;
Later,upon a mission field
His freedom lost,was made to yield-
Then met his master,face to face.

Tribute to Eric Liddell(1902-1945) of 'Chariots of Fire' fame,died in a Japanese internment camp.

Trampled

A New love is like a spray of wild horses. 
Sprinting over the plains of emotion and passion.
On a whim- zigzagging-changing direction.
A pair of manic butterflies carving the wind.

When you realize that it wasn't really love
the butterflies get trampled to death.

Game Over

My hand fits on it 
holding it with expertise
I hold its oval body made of pig skin
Firmly to my chest
Sprinting down the field
Towards the "END ZONE"
Dodging strong, heavy bodies
Helmets hit, shoulders pads collide
As I throw the ball 
On its last flight...Touchdown

Breaking Freedom

T run with fear
From my death
Seeing white smoke
From my breath
Starting to shiver
Beginning to freeze
Sprinting so fast
Starting to wheeze
When I stopped
Thats when I fell
Trying to escape this freezing hell
When I am free
I begin to cry
Tears of joy
Run down my eye
All because
I know I'm alive...

A Measured Bow

Cripple that thought and walk me slow
'Cos your winged words fly too high
my sprinting ear cant measure your stride

Cripple that idea and walk me slow
If you intend to melt my sigh
With your meaningless noisy pride

'Cos I intend to take a measured bow
So flag a crow and hike me nigh
Needless our faded kisses springs so wide.

I'M Walking Back In the Darkness

I’m walking back in the darkness
And it was light just yesterday
The music above my path
Litters long notes of doom in my direction
The rhythm in my step matches the beat
And I’m sprinting home to escape
The head-on collision I’m about to be part of
But I’m hit
And the glass is stained like church windows
But only in red

Clouds

Who told the clouds how to dress today
Soft cotton like and rimmed with lace
Dancing there overhead in grand array
Then sprinting off away in space 
They evaporate and then just go away
To reappear again in some disguise
Hold hands to paint a new day’s skies
Then hide beyond where we can’t see
And guess tomorrow where they will be

Ravenous Clocks

Time goes sprinting by.
Like an animal it flees.
Seconds   Minutes   Hours   Days.
Quickly ticked away.
The clock is a hungry mouth.
Eating away all the time.

Eagerly it goes.
Swiftly sailing, soaring.     Gone.  
A thousand years in a blink.
Then your time is spent.
You can only hope to know,
Exactly where your time went.

Shadow

a shadow is a reminder
of 
where you came from
where you're going
who's running beside you
who you left behind
who left you behind
who you're chasing
who's haunting you
who's enchanted you
what you're sliding from..
who you run to when life's sprinting by-bye you

dusk will cleave the shadow
but the sun sews it back onto you

Moments of Stillness

Some day, Some hours I sat still,
As thoughts wove their silence of will.

Gazing at the sky ,my mind began sprinting,
I,rooted like a stone,yet new thoughts keep getting.

The soul's window kept on rolling,
Unleashing musings, forever strolling.

In these notions, the sky appeared saying,
'Thou hast endless opportunities awaiting'…

Running in Pace

    Running to escape
       running from trouble
    Pick up the pace
       quick, on the double

    Sweat pouring down
       feet pounding the ground
    Second wind comes along
       now sprinting headlong …

    He broke the tape
       in record time, wahoo!
    What he's run from is clear 
       ~ but what’s there to run to

Spumante

waters flowing fiesty down the stream
endless energy dartingly roaring
incessant rumblings of enthusiasm
under doting sun the giggles gurgling 

freshness sprinting and cascading
simmering lifefilled and bubbling
in a luscious melody of breezy babble
twirl effervescent endless whirls of curls
