Dream Chaser

Chase a dream until you find it never give up on you
For if you stop short of your quest you'll never get what you were due.
Form: Rhyme


The Dachshund

The Dachshund’s a marvel on skis
Little legs that stop short of its knees 
It can schuss like a pro
Making furrows in snow
(Though its privates are given to freeze)
Form: Limerick

Drought

Drought

The relentless sun burns,
Warming up the sky.
Open the car window and see the children play.
“Where is the rain?,” I wonder,
And try to push the thought out of my head.
Change the radio station.
Later, clouds form.
Could this be it, our release?
Drops fall for a moment,
The sky is important and, they stop short.
And the infernal sun returns.

Ludichka

I love you when you're lucid
(or when your mind is going)
and even when the whiskers
of your confidence are blowing
I love it when your tannins 
filled with acid burn my mouth
and even when you stop short
asking what I'm all about.
I love it when your voice
all crackling, sunlit, fills the room
I love you even though I'm mourning
and you left too soon...

Beauty knows
Words can't show
Sparkling glow
In grand flow


Beauty walks
Words fail now
No more talk
Love endows


Beauty frames
Words stop short
Truth now flames
Precious spot


Beauty smiles
Words stop here
Piercing style
Wonder steers


Beauty thrills
Word stand still
Climax fill
Fond goodwill

Short Which Short For Contest

Do you mean short as in not tall
Maybe short as in bad tempered
How about shortening for best shortbread overall
Or taking a short-cut for going unhampered

Short-hand, for taking notes at speed
Short lived as in not long to last
Short stop and short slip in sporting games you need
To stop short is what I intend to do so hold fast


So many short’s to write about, If I do them all, will definitely not be short.

As far..As well? or wherever they are.? Semantics
About Semites..To me just are.' Abreham begat 
Ishmael and Issac...Both semites..Got me? So far?
S'wot i think.? Should i stop short of the brink.
.? So no need for a face off, or a great
Confusing stink.' War is not the way.'  Why
Shed prescious blood.? When the waters of Life
Invite you to drink.. To a new life, where joy's
Will Calls all' just let your spirit go into the pink.'

See My Face

Pierce!! Pierce!!
With a poisonous thorn
Or nip my heart
Until it bleeds

See my face and 
Inside pain
Until you decide

Silent eyes
Might not close
Drops of tears
Will stop short 

Hatred your thoughts
Will burn your mind
By the past we had
Then, take the action

It is a center of
Antipathy compass
Night will come together
To vanish our heavy past

Time and clock
Beat and heart
Still dark
Gaze in sharp
