Wasted Words

On tiptoe
or on bended knee
Here with you,
or there with me
Silence tasted
takes its toll
Love, wasted,
on the troll

liked to play the ukelele
he always acted clueless
in falsetto gave us Tiptoe Through the Tulips

Fate

Silently now
I tiptoe near,
Longing for his touch.
Vagaries of Fate, how cruel,
Escape is impossible.
Release me never.

Heartstrings

Thin ice cracks
Carefully you tread
Tiptoe in silence
Holding inhaled breath
Fear heavy footsteps
Breaking through thin ice.

A Certain Lightness Brought To Darkness

Sometimes in the latest night
I tiptoe amongst the stars -
a carpet littered with shimmer;
always careful not to catch
my sole upon - Snag!
a silvered sliver
of moon...

Five Wild Turkeys

Five wild turkeys
    tiptoe on the lawn
Odd, ungainly birds
    unlike swan
Suspicion is the word
    reserved, withdrawn
Quick, go get the camera
    whoops, they’re gone!

The Road Back Home

The road back home
         seems so easy
       He's been away
         so long...

       Will he tiptoe in
         and say 'Sorry'
       Before his chance
         is gone

The Razor

The razor has left you with scars that remind you
Of how you had wanted to end in the bathroom
And now they talk softly and tiptoe around you
So you won’t be tempted again by the past gloom

like a statue

his fluffy tail stands straight up
like his ears when he sees me
like a statue, he sits perfectly still
I tiptoe away, so he can eat berries in peace
he begins chasing his brother around tree

How Innocent

how innocent these first flakes of snow
with wistful winter on tiptoe
impatient for storms to blow
hilltop or glen below
how innocent these
first flakes of snow
in whitetail's
moonlit
skies

Blooming

it’s scary to bloom in front of the world. Put me in a pot sectioned off from all the ‘isms’. I can’t wait to tiptoe into my beauty. Every aspirations accommodating sadness. Teaching sadness to smile.

Mute

Silence wraps itself around my senses Soundless visions tiptoe through my mind In my world, sound has been suspended I hear your voice only with my eyes And quietly, with my hands I speak

'tiptoe'

You tiptoed in where I didn’t want you You crossed the line and made me miss you You are on my mind more often each day I guess you did get it right to make me feel your love

Do Not Tell Me What To Do

Tiptoe gingerly she said.
I know, I yelled, irritated. Don’t tell me what to do!
These black holes don’t play! She warned me.
I just want to have a tiny peek inside, I retorted.
The last time I was heard or seen.

'love - Like a Flower'

Love
tiptoe
and appear
out of the blue,
mystery to some
but others embrace it
happiness not guaranteed
instead of enjoying the voyage,
we focus more on the conclusion
before it has a chance to bloom, it dies…

Big Bad Bumblebee Bear

Big bad bumblebee bear was fluffy and cuddly
We did not know his name, so we called him Duddly
He rolled around on the roses and tried to tiptoe on the lily
We loved watching this big goof, he was adorable and silly.

Hello Autumn

A flame flickers,
toying and teasing
some jazz in the background.

Like stealth on tiptoe,
the darkness settles in
as the tables await couples.

Night descends upon 
come-hither invitations
and your future awaits.

'Scattered Thoughts'

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

On Tiptoes

Standing on toes, we might be able to see above the crowd

     Sometimes it’s better to duck than let what we see enrage us

          We must tiptoe softly through the sensitive hearts of others

Among the Flowers

A lovely maiden sits among the flowers
Her innocence resounding through the blossoms
She is as fresh and dewy as they are

We tiptoe around, so to not disturb
Either she is teaching them or they her
In silence, with telepathy. It is a sight.
