Premium Member Life Hangs By a Thread

Improper placement of a soup spoon
  topples a marriage gone wrong

Recalling your voice in a war zone
  keeps my heart beating strong

Ah Huh

It echoes in me 
For her voice topples me all
Am I in trouble

Premium Member Lazy James

Young James always appears to be lazy.
Due to inertness, his mind gets hazy.
To the pool, he makes a tread.
Into it, he dips his head.
Losing his grip, he topples. How crazy!

The Downfall

Autumn's decay, brown leaves fall,
Corruption topples, governments lose all,
Righteousness fades, none stand tall,
Greed and cruelty erode trust's wall,
In this world, justice lies fallen.

Dual Nature 26 Words Poem

Albeit, the time truck topples
Through the tracks ranges; roving
Mitt, making the switfness subtle. 
The time combustion caresses the
Manhood of my pathos peck no-strings.

Crabbing Ahead in Topples

Creepy the crab longed to walk straight ahead
But his lanky legs spread, side to side led.
The skips he tried were all flops
The same can be said for his hops.
But with his topples, he tumbled ahead instead.

Premium Member Sheep, Sheep a Wandering

Stray sheep play hide-and-seek
Knit one, Purl one, Knit Two together
Pick up a stitch, before it slips, and runs
Intertwining it, lest the pattern unravels
and the wayward flock topples over the cliff.
For sheep astray will play
with a wondering lust for wandering.

Revelations

Winter topples the 
sting 
of muddled tongue.

The bottle 
breaks the stasis
of eye.

I cede the smile 
of history.
Somebody has left the home.

I become my enemy 
in dark
for the acid taste of truth.

The moon 
had the malignant stain.
My shirt has become dirty.

O god,
I never believed in you
nor in your ugly world !

Philippines

P-earl of the orient, 
H-ome to mixed races with
I-ndigenous inhabitants 
L-iving 
I-nterdependently, 
P-rided with rich
P-atrimony, 
I-nherited customs and traditions and 
N-atural resources, graced by 
E-xquisite maiden beauties and competitive human 
S-pirit that topples down even the strongest storm.

Can't sleep once again because of power interruption. I'm glad I thought of penning this.

Silver Sneaker Moment

The bones are loud and heavy
they don't like exercise anymore.
The treadmill chugs along
while vertigo topples unready toes.
Nothing can push these bones along,
time has filled them with concrete,
the rubble of marathons once run.
A young woman sprinting effortlessly
beside me smirks my way
as I stumble through a flat-footed mile.
Maybe she cannot see her future yet
while mine is clearly
painted on a wall I will soon hit.

Ballad of a Drunken Lady

She drowns herself in pints and quarts
And finds solace in liquor bottles
She uses it to mend her broken hearts
Though she stumbles and topples

She decides her fate with alcohol
And speaks through sealed lips
And harshness bounces off her breath like a wall
After she has had a few sips

But dear God bless the tongue of the drunken
Lady, gentleman or naïve child 
Blinded by the bliss of wild desires,
Wasted away like rubbish beguiled.

Normal

Normal is the space between horror realised and glory assumed, when the lust of the eye is calmed and briefly quenched by complacency.

Normal is the monent between remembering and forgetting the evil done in the name of good, when pride and selfrighteousness overwhelms compassion and decency.

Normal is the dreaming season before the swell of power and arrogance takes us once more to the very edge of hope, then topples us into war.

Normal is the waiting time.
