Wide-eyed, hopeless, there he staggers
In his back a dozen daggers
Dying, toga turning red
You too Brutus? Caesar said

inhibited
by the shackles of low esteem
she staggers
under the weight
of suppressed emotions

Verse
There no longer staggers "The Broken Man",
A higher power called upon his number,
On June Twelfth, fate rendered him a found man;
Long last a tired body found its slumber.

A long lost uncle has suddenly died
Leaving me a treasure that staggers the eyes
A mansion imposing
But therein disclosing
A bevy of horny fillies, I began to cry

Eyes Like Darts and Daggers
Her eyes were like darts and daggers,
Those seeing them always staggers;
Picture did draw,
Of face we saw;
Enjoys being women who are naggers.

the wick is gently
lit
the flame staggers
at first
then stands up
straight
reaching up
fully bright
the wax wanes
the flame sputters
the wick disappears
leaving a lasting
memory
of the bright light

A damp moon
staggers across the sky.
I will find my balance now.
*
Meditating on
the words and meaning,
I read your face.
*
Quasi-intelligent,
half-man, half-beast,
the new species.

My palette is empty
after over-busy school
and tense homework.
By the time dark night
staggers onstage, sleep is my
longed-for, sexy muse.
I’m greedy for sweet,
numb sleep or perhaps to dream
love-flushed fantasies.

Lune - Note
one note missing
harmony refrains to be resolved
staggers in echoes
reverberating regret resounds
in cacophony’s heavy metal discord
life’s melody limping

Verse
The bee staggers,
There are no drawn daggers,
It had had its fill,
All is at its will,
It flutters its wings,
Its song, it sings,
Up it flies,
Another path it plies
There’s a mission to accomplish,
There’s beauty for us to relish.

An effect without a cause
A bolting into being
Is anathema to reason
A delirium or dream
Proximate – and ultimate
Phenomena exclaim
There is one rule inviolate -
Determinism reigns
The implication staggers -
Our will constrained, unfree
Yet if this be so
How can reason be?

the morning air staggers above the lake
through trees, i almost feel it kissing me
my thoughts spiral down like leaves amidst fall
this emptiness is more than i can take
beneath closed eyes you are all that i see
yet emptiness haunts within morning's call

With my weary steps
my weary shadow
sways and staggers
slowly,
as impatient winds
nudge me on and I
must obey
grudgingly;
for now I must leave
this ancient vale in whose
deep, loamy bosom
lie
living memories
of living yesteryears,
loved ones for whom I
sigh.

long as it rhymes an staggers in time,
an poetry is yes, inspiration,
you can check for a bit,
of bull in me line,
poetry comes from thought distillation,
produces wine or a whine,
till the cementry chimes,
words come on the next inhalation,
sometimes...

There's poverty they'll say
when someone staggers drunkly.
There's poverty today
when someone dresses shuntly.
There's poverty we'll say
when someone gathers junkly.
There's poverty all say
when someone bothers bluntly.
Where's poverty I say
when someone rushes juntly.
There's poverty I'll say
when someone brushes wantly.

State sponsored terrorism
Pandemics born in the lab
Control with a vice grip
In tears the world staggers
And Rachel weeps
For the unborn snatched
From their nest of safety
The earth staggers
As one drank with blood
They Talk of the NWO
Lord hear the cry
Of your people
Let never evil
Be exalted over
Your chosen people

Blank verse
Sitting on the edge of darkness
Leaning on a distant truth
His feet shuffle,
as we can hear him come through;
This line of loned writers,
each with differences yet teetering on this ledge,
with dark skies encompassing
He staggers and squints the precious light
Yes, sitting on the edge of darkness,
as the crowd of one cries Bravo!

his dazed head
hurts so bad,
he staggers with
guilty memory
as though he
has sold his soul
for something
sour and silly
only to find
much too fleeting
the pleasures,
too momentary.

With silence weighed,
the moonlight fades
to play charade,
before it's found.
The moon on track,
folds into black,
then staggers back,
without a sound.

INTERLUDE
When a short break is considered apposite
It could be to inhale and just take a breath
But no silence for too long, so keep it tight
As to walk away would be a kind of death
Aware when resumption staggers into sight
Music rules, dispelling any shibboleth
Treat it as an infill with relaxation
Applied with firm intent, not hesitation

Ottava rima
A vacuum wanders down the stairs.
I tell some folk, but no one cares.
It staggers by without a thought.
I contemplate its being… not.
It vanishes, leaves ne’er a clue.
While saying zilch, as vacuums do.
Reflecting back upon the scene,
my eyes were sharp, my mind was keen.
I sensed my heart had not a care,
And then surmised, ‘twas nothing there.

He staggers and stumbles all around
on the floor, his underwear I found
he laughed hard, then fell down
I'm speechless, not a sound
mooned me, from beneath my wedding gown.

I haven't penned one of these for a long while. Believe it or not, I had a hard time trying to think of what to write.

Dark side of Oakleys.
The black, short linen dress,
floats and careses her thighs,
a moition so sweet!
In the eveloping heat.
Fine african beads,
dance loose on dark skin,
caress the breasts above
from a heart beat within.
She sways, and he staggers
In a moment he stands
amongst all the sand that has
fallen, and crumbled off
the sandcastle Man.

The crown of the stars,
The night-goddess wears,
Brighter than the diamond studs,
Each luminary shimmers.
His bright rays and home in Heaven,
Leaves in oblivion the setting Sun,
Avid for union with the Night,
Adieus the sky bright.
The glittering Sun bright,
And the dark Starry-Night,
Aspiring for inseparable union,
The Unity of duality staggers imagination!
