On the Cusp

Listen to poem:
on the cusp

poised precarious, point perched,
lies threshold brink verge,
the tipping-point pivot to,
rise/fall from grace.

Tipping the Night Scene

She tips the night scene Torment shuffling through her She displays hurt sighs The insides of her heart bleeds Quite wounded in her weak plights

Time

These ripples in  
Time

That twist then
Turn

Through the tipping 
Towers

They bend the
Times

They fall through 
Time

Their time then
Sinks

That they had
Together

Past Glory

You live today,
Still,
On 
Past glory.

Like an old man, in a cafe,
Wrapped, capped, wizened
– and lonely,
You pay for your bill
By telling old stories
Again
And 
Again,
Tipping by doffing.

Tipping My Sleigh

It shouldn't be allowed, these girlies of today Enticing us old guys till we lose our toupee Without it we sob No longer a heartthrob Get so distraught we fall off our sleigh

Eye X-am

I saw a pretty lady all alone,
And helped with her taxing load to her home,
Sights clear, as I've been drinking,
My dear ... no need for tipping,
Wife curls dainty fingers cross my chin bone.

Tipping the Waiter

A masculine waiter winked at me 
flashing a smile with his fine goatee
he needed a big tip
but such plan took a dip
when I claimed, "Ask your boss; my hubby."

Red Rum Roses

They thought that I was a damsel in distress
Tied unto their railroad tracks, until I took a bite..
This main course a franchise her vanilla cream skies ?
Tipping a martini two cherries virgin hues; the grateful dead.

Silk

HERE I AM AGAIN
LEFT OUT IN THE COLD
WAITING FOR YOU
TO BREAK ME
THIS IS IT
THE TIPPING POINT
LOSING MY GRASP
ON SANITY
YOU PULLED ME
INTO YOUR WEB
OF DELUSION
I AM STUCK
LIKE A FLY
WAITING
TO BE DEVOURED.

Huntin' Shootin' and Tippin'

There was a craze not long ago
A kind of country pursuit
A sport known as cow tipping
Perpetrated by callow youth

Now due to the recession
There is a new craze to report
A rural epidemic, fly tipping
It’s popular but not much of a sport

Tipping Point

Those captivating eyes
That charismatic smile 
The way you  first looked at me
Fell into a trance 

It felt like 
l always known you before 
The moments magical
Never wanted it to end
Reached the tipping point 
Now I won’t be the same again

A Tipping Balance

A Tipping Balance

Love is a fulcrum that
balances our relationship.
The weight of our feelings
for each other keeps us level.
If one of us gets off, the fulcrum
can’t keep us together.
The tipping point is reached,
the relationship crashes.

Mushroom Tipping Point

So nervously, upon this earth I tread.
Don't let me, again, go out of my head.
My fragile mind persisted yet unbroken,
ignoring all harsh words as they were spoken,
until shattered with a sickening shriek.
Done in, I was, as I heard a mushroom speak.

Edge

sitting on the edge
hanging limbs
brushing tremors on its skin
burbles as it tips on moss on stone
mouth washed mini waterfalls
sunlight slips from crest to trough
toe tipping tiny tsunami's
snapping branches
ships with leaf sails
sails and leaves

Slaughtered Innocence

The hideous and the humble
Blood peppers falling snow
As world hurtles to the tipping point
Life chokes on ignited air
Wrenching love from hungry mouths
Stars fall without sound
Some weep helpless, day through night
Ever wondering how
Never knowing why ...

Lost In the Forties

~Lost are our beautiful starlets in the early forties
  In full garb, signs of their times, dancing tipping toe prancing their stance
  Contrasting our times, no cleavage revealed , but legs were bare

Before the Fall

Turning, turning
slipping, burning
all the days
to sweet be yearning
By your side
a wishful sentence
tattoo me to 
sweet repentance
Slipping, slipping
reeling, tipping
while I wait
to truth be gripping
By your side
to always be
Turning, slipping
follow me.

A Castles Dungeon

Trapped in a dungeon
With chains drunken
Tipping a glass of wine
Thought’s intriguing
then wondering
If time will ever pass by
Hanging over a cliff
Balancing my time
With handcuffs on
And bars now closed
Drunken am I
Trapped in this dungeon
from drinking wine

The Life of a Land Lover

The journey of perilous seas-
a vessel so grand-
plunging into the darkest abyss-
eagerly searching as the house upon a rock-

Steering true through mutinies,
teetering on the brink of tipping!

Rallying, never to waver again!

Yet another voyage just dawning-forevermore!

Oh, March

Oh, March,
You vagabond of trumpet gales
Swirling city trash
‘round tipping cans
Tugging
At fully outstretched flags
Ruffling Robin feathers
Jousting with Jonquils
Elevating
A hungry hawk
Howling
At the heels of fleeing winter
Lest it keep you
From a date with spring

First Date

I drank you in
Whiskey no chaser
Rough around the edges
Smooth enough to keep me wanting more
I was drunk on your smile
Kisses tipping me in to no mans land
Everything was hazy but you
I don't remember the night
I just remember your hands and 
Laughter that bubbled like champagne

Something Between Us

There is something
Between us, 
Can't be explained
You race through my mind, 
The telephone rings...
It's your voice with that
Special hello...
Tipping into my heart, 
Now all aglow.
Right away, I know some prayers
Are answered...
I was longing for you so, 
Ah! 
How did you know?

Bushido's Water Garden....

As water slowly falls onto
...tiered bamboo pipes,
like gently tipping levers
rhythmic sounds induce peace...

Light breeze astound the senses
aroused from scent of hyacinth,
wafted as a swath of silk,
caressing the skin serenely...
as purpose contemplated.
.....without distractions....
