stairway
to heaven bound
has step-wise tiers
strewn with slippery slides
snaking down to land head first ~
rung hamstrung

Sunny Stairway

mist-moistened sunbeam,

                    gleaming stairway near nowhere,

                           up, down, to somewhere.

Rising From Darkness

Sunlight's shining beams
A stairway to the Heavens
Lighting the shadows

Premium Member Reflection

offstage reflection
ideally astounding
simultaneously
brainwash outwards
censurable stairway
impracticable undress

Searching

Why is everything is as it is?
Why not a black-n-white rainbow?
Why not a stairway to hell?
Why death, when living is worse?
Dark alleys in my heart lead to a dead end
I search on.

Stairway Sex

had no money
we had honey
had this feeling
got us both wheeling
couldn't afford a hotel bed
sex was in our head
so we fine a place
face to to face you can bet
IT WAS
STAIRWAY SEX

Onward

I'm descending from the stairway 
Of my 'Past'.....
    As I seem not to walk alone 
 Through the aisle of the 'Present'
  'Future' seems to be an Altar of 
     Grace for eternity

Giant Coffin

Trapped in the stairway
Heavy smoke filling my lungs
Screams piercing my ears
       The tower is collapsing!
       No time to say good-bye, no...

Premium Member Tiny Pony

I have a tiny pony, 
so small she lives indoors.
She scampers up the stairway
to sleep atop my bedspread.

I never can be lonely 
for this wee horse adores
To be with me all day 
To share my buttered cornbread.

Premium Member stairway to heaven

every act of love
is like a little death to me...
each time a piece of me is lost
to become more attentive…
I feel bound to the heavy ground
yet free as a bird
just to take flight on the wings
of selfless Desire...

Premium Member Gods Gift To Me Today

Rhinestones and; liquid diamonds
oozing down heavens stairway
in the form of an effervescent waterfall
enhancing Hawaiian jungle vegetation
in the most delightfully lively way
i watch in awe
enthused by God’s gift to me today

Horizons

The Beauty of the sun
shining through the clouds
after the rain
shows the grace of a golden stairway
from the heavens
that leaves a breathtaking moment
on the rainy days
like in the clouds and mist of life
there are horizons.

Premium Member Stairway To Nothing

Stairway to nothing

The refining way

Believed leading to liberation..

The frightening nothing

Ending the way and the

Seeker..revives separation's

Persistence..Leading to 

More refinement..

A persistent story...

Premium Member The Red Mirror

classic cran companion tunelessly twirlingly retiring
noiselessly in normalcy ,
lambertia on the glowing stairway
and whispering sunberry reflection
with prim parallel pass .

Momentarily

I wander but some say I roam
Travelling myriad mazes
For home.

When pillared pathways
Lead to love cold
I ascend the stairway stars
That unfold
From my miring mind
Momentarily
Dwelling where clouds hold my slumber
And skies hold my dreams.
Form: Lyric

To God Be the Glory

This candle burns slowly —and with the severity of courage
We pick our way with utter caution down the bombarded stairway
One thing is certain: we must flee from this scoffing pillage.
Aided by fluttering tallow, our vision is haunted by the airway.

If I Could

I would catch a star
And name it after you

I would toss ur troubles
Into the deep blue sea

I would build a stairway
That leads me to heaven

I would walk on the moon
And take a leap for peace

I would sky write ur name
Across the entire sky

Stairway To Heaven

So high,
           so distant,
           is the sky...
           So intimate,
           so close...
           Those who are
           on the way to heaven,
           following
           the word of the lord,
           without hesitation... !

The Stairway

The Stairway
The stairway is long and dark.
We climb one step at a time.
Trying to reach the light above.
Each step takes you closer.
But it's a trip.
You get to the top and reach the door.
Then you remember that you forgot the laundry basket on the floor.

Let Me

escape 
my egg shell world
discover a strand of approval and approve of what I, myself, do find
let me reach 
up
to new heights


before my journey can begin I find your doubt   break   my stairway
and 
my one diminutive desire 
blocked
by your contempt.

Premium Member Ole Bessie

Oblivious she lay
  on her bed in soft hay
Ole Bessie snores the whole night away

While I twist and turn
  as my heart and pulse churn
at explosions that rock my stairway

Perchance I awake
before next the ground shake
  Let me please be a cow ~ I do pray
