And bite your neck until
You fall to pieces...

Amidst the tug-of-war of wild animals
Enmity ends; 
Amidst the tug-of-war of human beings
Enmity begins!

tug-o-war of sand
   underneath frothing footprints —
          swashbuckles the sea

Opening the front screen door
    a fierce wind played tug-of-war

  Not to be denied, I tried again
    ~ the chimney whistled in the den...

Tug-o-war
What’s it for
Blows my mind
Every time
Whenever I
Question why
Right or Wrong
Same ol’ song
In the way
That I say
I must see
To trust me

My dog lays 
snoaring loud 
          dreaming of bones
and tug of war.
and his snout out the window 

I lay awake
questioning and 
holding in a 
piss.

Killing myself


with a cigarette....

In my youth during the war years
At our July First festivities three cheers
They held a Tug 'O War
Police and Fire to the fore
At times life is like a Tug 'O War it appears...

He walks by and catches my eye
She smiles and it makes me feel shy
I feel a tug of war in my heart
I don't know where to beginning or 
where to part. Somethings you just
have to leave up to god....

in the past found that 
the mind's eye would 
continuously backslide
between the rational
and the irrational
realms of thought
a tug-of-war
a back and forth
movement within
the land of emotional limbo...

Tug of War
the three and four-year-olds had a terrific time
playing tug of war with a rope
all of them trying to help their friends
pulling a variety of directions
no matter what team they were on
hilarious to watch...

Life is a game of chance,
between two worlds,
Reality and imagination,
between two paths,
of existing and Legacy.

Life is a game of Tug of War,
between Life and Death,
Living and Dying,
Coming and Going,
and you are the rope....

Out the door
is a vicious game
a process

battle of spite
tug of war
circus of irritation

where nobody loses
no one wins
a bloody senseless draw

no referee
only stiff jabs
right crosses

haymakers
countered by blow
after blow
       
low......

It is not a choice you see,
for this is how God made me.
My emotions in a tug of war.
To my psyche, she was a savior.
Out of the closet I did run.
The battle for my sanity was hard won.
A lifelong journey I made for her.
My love, she did concur....

Driven mad by all this pulling-
Tearing me limb from limb!
Who do you think you are fooling?
Ah, this feeling- great and grim!

Grieving Goddess fits the bodice,
And embodies my Despair.
At this Tug of War- am no novice...
(Oh! All the Hurt I can't repair!)...

Snow flakes and Easter lilies scatter the ground
Winter time and Spring time seem to be having a round
Like a game of tug of war each side wants control
Today it was winter who wanted to rock n roll
Tomorrow maybe Spring time will give it a heave ho
Guess we won’t know till tomorrow though...

an early bird
                  a dew chilled
                                     worm
                                             daybreak 
                                                          tug-o-war

He tugs dad this way
   He tugs mom that way

They forget he is there
   And quarrel with each other ...

Driven to distraction
   They speak freely, candidly, even brutally

Their son learns that marriage is not always a bed of roses
   And that they love him -- and each other -- more than ever...

My body is like the rope
in the game of tug of war
Death pulls hard 
to bring me into the 
bright light
Life pulls hard
to keep me in 
it's dark hole.

Death's strength grows
with each passing day
Life can no longer 
hold onto the rope
The game is over
Death wins
At last the sweet
smell of victory....

Endless nights ,Endless days,
seems like a story in my life.
I say no,still goes far,
forbidden fruit tastes so dear.
Flesh or heart,which comes first,
tug of war decides at last.
Bed of roses,beside me,
chose the thorn to love the pain.
Am I a dice ,played by life?
or a whore of sleepless nights.

Walking my tiger home
Walking my tiger home is a job.
She pulls me down the street for that food at home
She runs like a rabbit pulling me right behind.
It becomes a tug of war she pulling me and I pulling her back.
No cat or dog can stand in her way.
For being only 2 feet tall shes a real tiger when 
I walk my tiger home...
