cold wet teardrops fall 
windshield wipers swipe away 
Angels weep some more...

endless worlds in my pocket

To dag is to dive,

yet to swipe is to smell the iron,

why confide when there is no other liar besides your own desire?...

Swipe away the curtains and gaze into my windows of truth. Frolic through my open garden and breathe in my fragrance of passion....

Summer heat rising
Sweat lubricates the brow a
Single drop of sweat 
Escapes the swipe of an arm
Lands on concrete to sizzle...

Love isn't always
chocolate and red roses;
it's those small gestures,
The swipe of new wiper blades,
surprise kisses on your car....

Listen to poem:

mozzie squadron fleets
roaring overhead in droves
dive to ear in waves
scream whining hisses so loud
that my swipes beats my brains out...

About toilet paper guests swipe
The staff at hotels have a gripe
They say steal it not
But buy one-ply Scott
Which won’t wipe out home’s sewage pipe...

Autumn swipes its hand

                     with such grace and color shown
  
                                                      while winter awaits......

get out
my laminated
computer generated
bar coded photo i d badge

swipe it
across the 
scanner watching
as it turns green from red

someday
hoping it
won't let
me in...

Was admonished today on another site
Basically for my humour, she took a swipe
Offensive she claimed
Smart remarks I'm blamed
Well loved by many, still winning in spite...

Midnight tide
Come take my troubles away
Wash away my worry
Swoop away my pain
Roll away my sorrow
Tumble away my loneliness
Swipe away my tears
Carry away my fears
Midnight tide
Midnight tide
Oh, my midnight tide...

Scattered thoughts 
Like broken glass
Makes you wish you didn't step on them 
But it's those thoughts that sometimes bring clarity 
We tiptoe around to avoid them 
You can swipe right all you want 
They'll return

King Spring
     mass grass
     stalls fall

Bird Herds
     crows row
     ducks cluck

Heel Zeal
     toes pose
     neat feet

Fey May
     pink blinks
     green queen

Paper Caper
     no rolls
     swipe wipes

When Love is spent 
Like credit on a card
It becomes a plastic debt
In which drowned of debt collectors
As it became so easy to swipe 
Until the day it was declined
Taking credit without payment
Lost in interest

^^^^^Love On Credit^^^^^...

Starring into the Flame
I see nothingness 
After nine
An Image appears
Of lies and deceptions 
Better tread carefully 
The shadow whispers.
I take my broom
And swipe the remaining dust away.
Now the solitude takes over.
I weave my destiny alone!...

Limerick : Once a lone House Dog led a dog’s life

Once a lone House Dog led a dog’s life
Always wondered about life with wife
Day and night heard House gripe
Master duck Mistress swipe
Happy his kids grew up sans his wife!

Odiferous, a sad and sordid tale,
for naught remains but that which does assail.
The rascal takes one final, pungent swipe:
grizzled remains along the center stripe.

A convenience I have, always at my touch,
I swipe you once, and you deliver so much.

Things of need, and my things of want,
an attempt to control my urge, but sometimes I don't.

Always on time delivered to me,
that shocking reminder, of my shopping spree....

Quiet and somber walks,
Restful leans against fence,

A swing beneath a tree,
Autumn leaves swipe my cheek,

Solace and peace abound,
And heaven has been found.

Jingle bells, jingle bells do your shopping here
Swipe your card, get a discount! Do not fear!
With the dollar so weak
Failed economy a freak
You may be paying for this crap for years!

One step forward 
Two steps back
Swipe his card
And push him back
Three moves left
Four moves right
I call this theft
But never at night
Five meters down
Six meters high
This pretty red gown
Sees through your lie
Seven dazzling smiles
Eight pouty lips
A hundred miles
For a thousand trips...
