stilted dawn tiptoed
softly to edge of morning
lullabies rising...

fall entered with grace
gentle were her warm breezes 
sun kissed were her skies

Musician
smart as butterfly
tiptoed into parked hall
surprised to see fiancée partying
drowned...

Moonlight hung silky sheets
From my bed...
Love quietly tiptoed to my door and
Climbed into warm chortle desire!


Cynthia...

As you tiptoed off my charts
My mouth opened to scream
Yet no words flew from my mouth
Only specks of dust
Blinding my vision
As you crept out of my life...

There was a tightrope walker named Zella
Who all people thought was one brave fella
He took their dare
And with a flair
Tiptoed cross falls with opened umbrella...

Magnificent places I tiptoed and stepped
dashed like the wind, manoeuvred and leapt 
reminiscing those memories I treasured then kept...
for most of my life I slept....

          sun shrunk to a pin
          evening, tiptoed right in
          cat paw on my chin

My heart was hidden behind undetectable ramparts 
He mischievously tiptoed over my heart, spreading fairy dust
Infiltrating every particle, echoing his call~~...

whispering
she's still
speaking
spoken
words

my ear is
burning but
all the same
on edge
standing

tiptoed
stretching
getting ready
to kick out from
under the chair...

Spoke of, as tiptoed through
With trepidation.
"Each fierce life-shaping clue
Throws a possessed look!"

In fables, darkest read.
Darkest of routing
In, out, bamboozling led
None creepier spook....

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

The sun tiptoed in through the window
and kissed her upon the cheek
a morning ritual 
the two had set on repeat
she closed her eyes
as if not to notice
but daylight took her hand
announcing it was time 
to rise up and take a stand

When I woke up, at night and
Tiptoed towards, your lonely place
The tar inside, your deaf ears melted

Together forever, decision we hold
And not just, one way from there
For mine if I’m, having but listen
No reason to tie, freedom onyour peg...

Stars are so very far away, so far
For I have reached to one in vain
She pampers me when I sleep, this star
Sprinkling dreams with pink champaign
And when I awake, I am always to find
She tiptoed away with the moon again
Leaving smiles there in my mind...

Shh said the Tallywacker agent
this new baby needs a place to think
we dream mongers and sand throwers tiptoed out
understanding the need for baby to clear his mind
sorting out his past two or three lifetimes
in order to fully enjoy this incarnation...

Sultry girl
Crouching tiptoed on a chair
Watching as it rises
She fears and welcomes the flood
Shivers in anticipation
Will she meet the waters with equal force?
Or will she be swept away
by the depth of his desire?

We built a chinkless wall
Without blueprints at all.
We did not pause to think
About this wall of ours,
As stone by stone it rose
Above our tiptoed eyes.

Trash piled up on both sides
Of what our labor laid;
Yet, at least, a rose climbs,
Prideless,
Upon this moss-grown side....

The dainty faerie found a napping place in the meadow, above the forest wood.
We knew she was there, so we tiptoed, as considerate elves and gnomes should.
She apparently needed her rest as much as any faerie in the glen ever had.
Her parents were appreciative of our consideration, her grandma equally glad....

the sunrise after
you left
woke no one
made no birds sing
it rose in the mourning
it's light tiptoed on the edge of clouds
who shook their heads
as they witnessed the aftermath
noon came as a whisper
the clouds burst into tears
as the sun revealed the new reality
that you
are never to return

Kneeling in prayer, the King folded his hands
  His assassination thusly prevented
  Times were different then, devotion honored
    ~ Stabs in the back were frowned on

  What Hamlet simply could not bear to do
  Today (that) would feel refreshing and new
  Not taking advantage of his arch-foe
    ~ Sheathing his dagger, away he tiptoed...

She finds her sister on his plate 


She tiptoed onto the floor to his door

her heart rotten to the core as a hoar

Devils lead, she entered onto his bed

stripping her ted, nestling next to his head

Sister's mate lusted for her goods in crate

cheating fate for some extras for his plate

humpty dumpty has a book that does not go away
We tried to peek, but he was not ready to play.
He told us to leave, for he was on deck a ship
Battling a storm, the cutter was ready to flip!

Call me captain, old Humpty said.
His cheeks were pink, his nose was red.
Or walk the plank he added in a weird way.
We tiptoed past him on this reading Tuesday....
