Literature Lost Love

Love in itself has swam through definition
Teetered between truth and falsehood
That which is written is long forgotten
Shakespeare sighs in defeat

Still have faith in human creatures Though sometimes, our ugly side is featured Many times before We resorted to wars Good guys always win but at times we've teetered

The Promise

Memories wept
thru words we felt
as they teetered 
on the ledge,
silence held
hands entwined
sensing morrow 
of frittered edge

Lot had denied
an ageless vow,
as once, 
each vowed the same,
with echoing word,
solemnly heard,
'Our Promise 
Will Ne'er Wane'

Premium Member On the Cusp of Change

He teetered on the cusp of change, Wanting to make each moment last ~ This flying of time seemed so strange, He teetered on the cusp of change ~ What would he not do to exchange his life for harmless childhood past! He teetered on the cusp of change, Wanting to make each moment last.

Premium Member Nagacourt, Nepal 2003

The hawk lay upon the lazy late afternoon air currents; Floating, circling, spiraling, ever downward. Its wings spread wide, white feather-tips splayed. It teetered on the updraft above the terraced alluvial plains in the lea of the Himalayas. Landing with a compression of desire upon the crumbling limestone outcropping, It stood preening. Waiting, For the next breeze.

A Simple Kiss

With breaking day upon my brow
I awoke to find you there
Within a tangled mess of sheets,
Pleasantly unaware

Of all the little butterflies
Gently flapping to and fro
From heart to head and back again,
So strikingly aglow.

Our legs entwined. Your lips so near.
Teetered on the edge of bliss,
I softly brushed your idle form
With just a simple kiss

For giving me the untold joy
Of a moment just like this.

Battle of the Sexes??

Amorphous metrosexuals haggling over who’s going to hold the bags.


Sight seeing

Never ask directions of a man standing naked in a kayak


Hick up

Whiskey never asks permission of the permissive.


So sew

Thirty-three thimbles teetered on the table top.


Knothead

He drove the nail from one side of town to the other.

The Son Also Rises

It was there when a serous sea
Spewed out its only occupant
Through a very narrow fleshy
Cave into a harsh world of light.
It sojourned during the long days
Of never-ending crying pleas,
Assuming only a bright smile
Throughout it all uncomplaining.
It witnessed the sound of three words
Coochie, Coochie coo vocalized
While the alien, helpless, squirmed
Under ten soft probing fingers.
It was present when the first two
Steps teetered into outstretched arms.

Waiting

WAITING

From  here  my roost is not  far
Only   fogged.  Yet  paved  with tar.
I   am  that  teetered  beast 
Loose me , Awaiting me is a feast. 
I hear that drum of my hide rumble,
And  the flute of  my  bones  waft
Tunes not humble,
That  tune of my beginning
soporific yet ecstatic in singing
Sheer paroxysm!!!!
I am that carnivore,
This  forage  starves me…
Unbind  me, see home  awaits my return.
I’m  through with my first death.    
My second birth is close..
