petrified forest
stands stoically
in stony silence...

melting with incoming tide

cooling salt waters...

Is stony and full of thorns;

We’ve to bleed, for sure....

Concreted beautifully on each other
Now mighty mountain afar...

Eye to eye

in a stony embrace,

two rockfish kissing,

face to face.

Stony cold icy faces,
Always trying to stay ahead in races.
Living under a guise,
And smiles that don’t reach the eyes....

A stony land,
Ants,
And flies,
Crowded after hunger,
Lost thirst.
The heat wave,
Who frightened,
The walking legs,
Touched their aim....

her boobies had sagged
two boulders in a hammock
she is stony faced

There a premodern smile does emerge
From a hymn and a funeral dirge
For it e’er hails the skies
With its wise stony eyes 
Knowing heaven and earth soon must merge...

Whistling wind
wrestling with withered leaves
on the cocoa farm
Lifting debris does not pay
I plead thee
go to our leaders' hearts
blow down their stony ramparts...

After dark,
When the perfumed air,
of fallen leaves slick with rain,
of tall grasses and stony trails,
Smells of the brooks surging with the rush,
Of all night down pours....

Marvelous medic. Perennial helping hand.
Stony chuckle, mainstay of Auburn clan.

Who will crack this stony nut for me?
What will I find when the task is done/
When all mysteries around this nut unfold?
Where will I flee if a dread emerge?
Why? Why should this nut be my pain?...

Touring compassion marble heart
Stony and lonely
Barren and Frozen

What are the roots that clutch,
What branches grow out of this stony rubbish?
Girl of women,
Boy of man,
Or guess,
For you know only a heap of broken images,
Where the sun beats down on this wasteland....

The river flows south.
I follow the stony path
on my nature walk.

Stepping over logs
Searching for the hidden gems
Seen along the way.

Following the path
Finding rest, peace, and healing
Renews my worn soul....

cloud calling rock range
nimble footed hideaway--
climbers cold mistress

stony faced beauty
brilliantly immutable--
renders me breathless

hawks moon-shadow leap
glacial peak to sky unscathed--
cannot hide from me...

The sticks on the hill
     were brushed when they were wet,
Lay with a pattered smoothness,
The bushes 'round which they swept
Bulged their greenly leaves,
Stony stairs on an uphill way
     creased a toe of the world....

I stumble and stagger through life's stony streets,
Trying to find my way as I steadily beat my feet.
It's simple to give in while lazing upon life's gurney.
Refusing to give up, I slowly continue on my journey....

the green apple eyes
of the 
pitch black cat
holding her
caramel smile
sitting on 
the first row
of the stony 
white steps
waiting
for the
gray mouse
family to
come to
church
because
death 
shall not
wait for 
Sunday...

I stood naked on the edge,

          (Cold feet gripping the stony crag),

               Peering into the shadowy depths of the abyss ...

     With a distant glint of black flame,

It looked back ...

          And smiled....

The hard blueish pebbles beneath my feet
make the stony trek to the ocean
a dangerous undertaking.
Barnacles adhere to stones,
slicing at passing feet.
Past the stony beach
the sand awaits.
Beyond sand...
the sea,
blue....

The world loves crippling
particularly if weakness
applies to a manner of spoken language
mouth that does not squeaks
is like a hoe with no claws sunk in the ground
only combing and stroking
instead of tearing and crumbling the stony grass...

Pale flower, tuber of the mother,
Unfathered but by stony hard ungiving, 
Every petal leaf down droops with rain,
Not quite living.

Frail power, yet each of three
By two is bound,
Unable to forgive the others' pain
Unable to be forgiven....
