...for Sylvia Plath
Her grasp of things is gone,
she fiddles, and is lost
with no prospect of redress.
She hovers shapeless,
rudderless,
in a storm-toss'd mess.
Substanceless, tottering
in limbo's loveless hold,
merely dross.

she meddles and is lost
with no prospect of redress.
She hovers shapeless,
rudderless in a
storm-toss'd mess.
Substanceless, tottering
in limbo's loveless hold,
only dross.

Weak,
You burst into tears
Fragile,
You break into pieces
Faltering,
You stumble along.
Tottering,
You trip over yourself.
Yet,
When it matters most
You
Remain upight
The pillar
On which this world
Stands:
You,
Sturdy and Unrelenting:
The Human Spirit

A poor old man
on tottering cane
in checkout line
did stand
did watch the checker
young and fair
be amused at
the young men
as they gathered
about her there
drawn by her
sweet charms
he did think
of younger days
when he would
be there too

Words slip from your cracked lips unbound,
spilling over my chest without a sound.
My limps then writhe with a flair,
teeter-tottering, feet bare.
Do carouse me on this merry-go-round.

Limerick
The treepie was confident and cocky, walking my fence
Tottering and tittering to himself, in a bravado-like manner
He was a handsome bird, his colors painted in compartments
Yellows, blacks, whites; he looked distinguished like a penguin
They both wear a tuxedo-like feather pattern

Like those last
luscious faintly
enfeebled breaths
bitterly breaking
through my
limply lifting lungs .
Fervently flooding
my tear filled
eyes. Tenderly
tottering into
those timidly
tight-lipped times .
Who wistfully
whispers
their coolly
cut cards of
kindred conversations.
Carefully kindling
their heart-crossed
corners of compassion.

...for Sylvia Plath
Her grasp of things is gone,

with no prospect of redress.
She hovers shapeless,
rudderless in a
storm-toss'd mess.
Substanceless, tottering
in limbo's loveless hold,
only dross.
(Note: One of her poetic devices
was the use of multiple double-
vowel and double consonant words.)

Verse
One day as I was walking in the snow,
carefree 'till a patch of ice hit my toe;
my arms flopping while slipping,
tottering but not flipping;
my new walking just so silly and slow.

dusty drips drooling
inky lits lurching
felon fits fostering
callous contractions cupping
Haggard how hankering
oily oceans assembling
nocturnal nature nimbling
fiery feelings seducing
airy allotment amputating
bounty pulses puncturing
severed seals smirking
damp dark dancing
multifarious means metamorphosing
all transcending tottering.

From steppes remote
luxurious mink coats
Fine leather boots
tailored suits
Fancy shoppes
five-star hotels
Back of splashy nightclubs
exclusive brothels
Rolls-Royces
and Bentleys
S-t-r-e-t-c-h ... L-i-m-o-u-s-i-n-e-s
cafes serving the finest cuisine
Wide-eyed with wonder
passersby gape
Dreams of Fifth Avenue
from tottering fire escapes

Child's Play
Bouncing around on burbled bubbles
Balloons surprising
Tiny fingers
Toddles sweet innocence
Giggling
With delighted glee
Sun shaft alights
Bright through windows
Lands on the carpet
A golden ball
For wondered excitement
Laughs aloud
And to my amazed eyes
My daughter
Rushed tottering over
Picked up this nonchalant tossed sun pool
And threw the light
Back to the skies

Unheralded purple on wings of hush
Stretching to infinity
A rebel erasing lines of sight
On a lark
Of inevitability
What forces have combined
To set this immutable wheel in play?
No haste it knows
Yet its advance is constant
As the day and evening goes
It measures progress in shades of gray
‘Til one last gasp
And we are plunged to sightless depths
Tottering, blind, and dumb
While the madman laughs

A flash of lightning
A clap of thunder
As a hard rains falling down
Through the misery of life’s window
With no respite to be found
Tottering along the pathways
Of life’s treachery
Forlorn and broken
Mapping out my destiny
Memories of failures
And what was meant to be
My endeavors all wrought
My own misery
Life holds meager meaning
Since my fall from all grace
Tattered and beaten
My head hangs in disgrace

Bennu,
Old and regal
From a thousand lifetimes
A go of tottering ashes,
To upwards toward the sky
Rebirthed and new,
Fly high

Reservoir of intelligence, beauty and passion,
And as a fairer creation,
I endeavoured for perfection.
Today I stand on tottering platform,
As a mannequin ,
Having lost my effulgence .
I am reduced to nonexistance ,
As you show the cold shoulder,
Having lost my identity.
In defiance to rejection,
As you spurn my passion,
I get annihilated.
I unwind all threads of bindings,
As for liberation of my soul,
Contrary to renunciation !!

I’m giving it a shot
even though I said I would not
If you say that phrase
I’ll be gone in a flash
and leave on the spot
I know where I belong
and I don’t want to be far gone
I just need to pass the time
It bring up my fears
of being stuck here
and never moving on
My heart is sending me miles away
unless I find a reason
a good reason for me to stay
Right now I’m teetering on the edge
because I know this isn’t where I belong

scheming and deceitful
it prowled shrouded
early in the morning
but there pretending
to not hear its warning
he closed his eyes
not to see the signs
when the clouds of darkness
wallowed in unfaltering
he couldn’t slow its roar
or ease the quivering
the disruption
the devastation
the teeter tottering
of invisible bowling pins
in rumbling chaotic raucus
tumbling down as rose the sun

Forever one second til,
one heartbeat from, stuck in time,
an eternity of moments undone.
In lyrical footsteps or shattered glass,
slithered pieces of a blue moon reflecting fractured paths,
falling off of moments gone by.
His heart tipping over,
upon glass, teeter-tottering choices,
one soul traveling one path, one page half mast.
How many angles in the ocean,
angels numbered on the sand, seashells crushed,
until a dream makes it unto land.
