Short Stripped Down Poems

Trees kissed by cold lips
Stripped down to naked branches
Mother Nature's snub...

Dirty hands and dirty hearts,
Dirty tricks and poison darts, 
All stripped down and used for parts. 
On the edge is where life starts....

STRIPPED DOWN
BARE
CUT TO THE QUICK
MY HEART
FRAGILE AND SINEWY 
MY BRITTLE BONES
ACHE
STIFF AND HOLLOW
A BUTTERFLY CAUGHT
PINNED INSIDE THE GLASS....

There was a woman who thought she was hip.
She went to the beach to skinny dip.
When she arrived there.
She stripped down to bare.
The crab had a very strong grip....

words are scared, gather
behind the tongue. feelings
are flung thisway & that-
defeat themselves, fall
flat. i don't know you any-
more, stripped down to 
your core, trembling,
barely here....

Once knew a gal from Geneva
Downed the biggest glass of tequila
Stripped down to her undies
While munching on munchies
Next day she claimed she had amnesia

parked my car in the shopping mall lot

   A huge audience is what I sought

        stripped down to the buff
     looking like I had the right stuff

all I heard were five hot chic's yelling " NOT"

My mind's eye keeps playing tricks on me
If i could express it in words 
Id tell you I feels like i have lost something 
Now i am starting to question whether i ever had it all
But without it i somehow feel stripped down and vulnerable
What am I ?...

Little Miss Vivi
Stripped down to her skivvies,
Got under a quilt in the cold.

And just like our daughter,
Won’t wear what we bought her,
Or that’s the story, I’m told.

At least Vivi’s mamma
Keeps on her pajamas
Since she’s past thirty years old....

this is the moment after the loss,
the garden as heavy as a standing horse,
as a frozen moon hangs like a buoy at ebb

north is the direction of winter,
a stripped.down world before the crawl

i hear your letting down of the shutters,
your steps tired up the stairs...

warmth brings out the best
everything stripped down
bare and about to bloom

I see it in your eyes
the ways they smile
in the morning sun

you walk slowly by
swaying with grace
in the meadow's dew

running clear
the river silhouettes you
as day caresses the mood...

Slow hands can't rest   
stripped down anticipation   
still holding intoxication   
dripped from sweet lips   
    
Words whipped with lemon tips   
free float  in wayward winds     
fingers grasped  gentlly touched   
a zestful reprise   entwined   
               
Moved with the morning dew   
falling deeper into you   
awaiting a pleasing glimpse     
a kiss  carressed sips  leveling     
every part of a misted me...

It's time to start again
When every thing is lost and nothing can be found

One moment in time, there you are stripped down
Your spirit, body and mind

Nothing should distract you
Your future resting in your hands
You already have the tools you need
Just be careful how you shape it

Rise from the ashes and spread your wings
Fly in a new direction, be bold 
Time for new begginnings 

Learn to give love, recieve love and be grateful for all things

While delaying gratification, 
you stripped-down 
to bones.

It was winter solstice, 
when day and night confronted 
each other- 

in negativity. Tracking 
the frozen footprints, my absence 
was generic.

I dread the barrenness- 
of looks, the unwritten wounds
seeking the healer.

The avalanche falling 
rapidly on the streets, with placards 
demanding the gallows-

for the tainted. The
victim lies still. Ashes fly
back at the purebreds.

I stripped down to my skivvies
Revealing all flab
Something is sagging
I think it's my BALLS
MAN! am I bummed
Can't examine the rear
Who would laugh
but the kids drinking beer
Their's are nice and firm
While ours is dragging skin
The bulge on my weenie
is old age coming in
When I go to the john
the diaper is smelly
especially the parts
that connect to the belly
When worse comes to worse
My uncle makes house calls
To the old and weary
geezers with sagging balls...
