Staircase


Shadows
clinging to steps,
grain worn by years~
voice drifts between each tread,
pausing where the past often
hesitates

Blank Lines

Blank lines
The palate stairs
Back at me 
Grunting as I fill it up
Like an old staircase 
It groans under the weight
Of the human in the words

We Build Our Staircase

We build our staircase to change the world
  yet as we ascend, we grope and stumble

The higher we go, the more we see
  it's the world will change you and me

The salt staircase

I climb a staircase of salt
toward a memory
that never took shape.
Each step dissolves
into a mist of thought,
and above,
I am but a drop
in a dreaming cloud.

Failure

The pinnacle
Of success lies
At the top
Of the staircase  

And,
Failure 
Keeps plotting…
To climb down
The stairs
Between 
My efforts
And
My achievements!

Staircase To Heaven

didnt know how
to go up or down
sweat on er lips tasted sugary
i was sure now
smoke and fragrance
of life
fizzled our mind and heart
i shouted
staircase to heaven

Relativity

My mind is straying towards 
A staircase of the unknown
One vibrant as relativity 
And puzzling
For realities perception
Is fading on my thoughts
Like staircases
Decaying

The Staircase In the Sky

Sometimes in the sky
            Showing puffy clouds
            Smiling in the summer
            Staircase in shaped clouds 
            A staircase going only upward

Staircase

Path begets long paths
Next to horizon it starts
Staircase of heaven

Horizons

The beauty of the sun
shining through the clouds
after the rain
leaves a breathtaking moment
like a golden staircase
to joy,
like the cloud and mist in life
there are horizons.

Staircase


          What waits
          beyond the top~
          golden and worn
          from countless going up
          those fair wooden stairs, but none
          coming down?

Sleepwalking Descending a Staircase

The radiant girl looks down submissive

A smile that's flirtatious, not aggressive

She suddenly lurches forward

Fell onto the floor awkward

Facedown nude waking up delusive

Staircase To Heaven 2

i whisper in her inner ear
staircase to heaven
i know
lets get this cobwebs off
clean our thoughts
i know
we slip on the semanic pool
land in the burning
fire
then kiss in guilt and
despair

Staircase

Spiral,
Ascends upward
Rising above,
Enlightening the mind
Then slowly, bringing you home
Stable roots

Familiar Feeling

Roaming the empty halls
Red exit signs light the way
Lurking in the staircase
Begging me to embrace
 
Slowly but surely
I reach out my willing hand
That familiar feeling
Makes it much more appealing
