LOVE YOU BUGS,

YOU HUGS, AND TUGS

AND YOU EVEN SOMETIMES SNUGS

BUT ONE THING THAT, YOU DON'T DO,  IS DRUGS....

brisk boisterous wind
throws the joyous kite so high
caught by crescent moon
trailing twirling tail
toddler tugs the moon along...

This thing we call hope
Grabs our hand and gently tugs
Perhaps tomorrow
Breathing will be easier
And life will hold some promise

A bright light from the window
Draws my eyes from evil thought
A warm hand tugs me from my bed
And wraps me in her white wings
I am now safe in her grasp...

Gravity
pulls at me
tugs at me...
back and forth
like the moon
and the sea
your gravity surrounds me.
Like a force of nature
unstoppable and pure...
Gravity...

There once was a lady with bugs
That was famous for giving hugs
She made love to a man
Called by the alias Stan
Now it’s his own clothes that he tugs!

BABY ON THE PROWL
     Down on petite fours
Bathed in dawning glow, baby
Tugs ray of sunlight

Magnetism tugs us from a centreless fulcrum 
We be to become, melding with the flow
Aligned with rhythm of the cosmic drum
We savour gifts of bliss rapture in stillness slow...

It’s snagged on a long pole.
An officer
tugs a pit-bull from a backyard.

Road-side is a body bag.

I check my rear view mirror
corners conceal the glimpsed.

Clear road ahead....

Nine
little
words that say.
Heaven helps me.
As I pray for us.
Live and entrust,
my soul and
heartstrings.

The feel of an infant's
touch grasping mom's finger
tightly, as it pulls and
tugs upon her heartstrings,
eternally tethered
to both the heart and soul;
together; they are one.

It tugs at my face when I see you
But leaves with you.
You unlock that door.
While I can't find the key.
And in penetrates the perpetual numb.
Long enough to give me life.
You put the smile on me....

To choose the greatest abuse is drugs,
Pain killers, cigarettes alcohol in tugs,
Heroin, meth and coke with death plugs,
Horror and demons leave you in shrugs,
Rule book in his tail see how he thugs....

As the Swallows dive, catching bugs
Half- moon shining through Willow tugs
At my heart strings my love

Early in the morn heart takes flight
As Swallows grace sky~ wings of might
Their love romance speak of...

that wind blows
and the water rises into
a point, that wave 
rolls to the shore and crashes
on the sand 
that water tugs shells 
and rocks along 
with it 
the water is a tug boat
each object has one rope atached...

wind sets leaf dancing
waving up and down on twig
pulls and tugs it loose


whipping up water
into colourful bubbles
spraying them afar


scuttling  clouds racing
across the endless blue sky
leaving wisps behind...

Trump and Risky Rugs

Trying drugs that gently on poetry production tugs,
While you start seeing Trump working out the bugs,
Injury in making;
Many more taking,
After he wobbly pulled out the slippery risky rugs.

I

love

your smile

all the more

when it's not practiced

but tugs the corners of your lips

as a spontaneous reaction to my presence

for it immediately solicits a genuine smile of my own in return.

Obliged by my soul's desire to bask in each moment.
Flares of streaming brilliance nourish and balance my fortitude.
Joy tugs the breath caught in a less inflated self.
Awake, alive, and alert at the boardroom table of my life....

Silver string tugs
By the moons inscription
Writing:
“Open to heart’s desire
Left upon the kind
Leaving one to perspire
Towards the unyielding mind”
The moon sends its grace
To the passerby
Filling all with hope
Of a silver thread design

Daffodils march around an oak tree
fanfares from buttery throats,
yellow notes flutter as light
as butterflies.

Pond circling a pool of sunlight,
ducks circling the sun,
a child's red kite tugs
at invisible strings,
                      I let go of the sky....

South Africa, South Africa
so proud a nation
as a rainbow fades
the dry wind pervades
whilst we impress more
with less
how we turn gold to lead
as millions bled
for what? What for, really? 
are we divided?
undecided? 
uncertain
as the rope tugs the curtain?...
