So unsteady and unsure
Much like my MS....

Elizabeth Marie Tall Chief
bigotry gave her grief
failing health, unsteady,
she railed, “Get my swan costume ready!”...

Hold my stem, lest I spill sherry
Pour unto me the flavor of you;
My cold feet go into spree
Is unsteady, yet free to go....

Untidy
I’m battered down below
And unkempt up top
A mess
Simply disheveled
Unstable in my mind
Unsteady in my stance
Straighten me out
Like only you can...

Remain Unsteady

Remain unsteady
And also not be ready;
Results are deadly.

I am beginning to believe this 
regarding the current political 
news.

A wall of printer's blocks, in rows, in ink, in metal, wood
Jumbled letters, thoughts exploded, chaos in unsteady line's eyes
with dusty vacancy slots formerly spelling: "I love you"....

To end my Jane worry
I will have to fee a brewery
And make an unsteady march
My lady won’t give an appro
Or she may
Because she is a juno
I will lavish her with jewelry
Diamonds for the august lady...

We were two people in one world in a crowded and unsteady life, walking quietly out to Neverland. The only people we would ever see are miles behind us, mysterious and magical in the red light of the horizon....

Burning with passion my loins are aflame
My eyes are quite round, really going insane
Becoming quite unsteady
My mind is like spaghetti
Her stuff makes me quiver, pulls this old guy's chain...

Has anyone actually seen a yeti... yet?
There are some who say they're a bit unsteady
Though the truth is a strain
Open minds must remain
So no matter how outrageous, for anything I'm ready...

Getting a little unsteady on my feet of late
Could mean I'm getting close to that final big date
You know the one
When your bun is done
And you're ready for your last meal on a celestial plate...

 When I begin the beguine, might be a bit unsteady
Used to be a fancy dancer
A little practice is the answer
Really can't wait till I get to the endguine...

Whose todger was very unsteady
With no effort at all  
It would rise and then fall …
With tablets he’s ready for beddie!

Love, Love, Love
Love is ...
 Strength for a weak
 Flexebility for rigid
 Mobility for the static
 Stability for the unsteady
 Precision for the sharp
 Poise for the delicate
 Love is everything
Love is life

Although unsteady was dear Aunt Ann’s gait
She struck a yogic pose for a portrait
On an ironing table
Her legends are now fable
Before her name, we prefix title ‘Late’

She walks in the boutique wearing Jimmy choos
Red heels clicking, diamonds sparkle on her fingers
 Classy and elegant as pearls adorn her ears
She walks along towards the back unsteady 
Dropping to the ground, her shoes go missing...

Ne’er so sudden the winter blast—
Ne’er so unsteady the billow-beaten mast—
Ne-er so foolish the mischievous boy
Who was ne’er so careless had he such a toy.
Ne’er so frightened the haunted fox—
Ne’er so forgotten in a cedar-scented box....

Turning tired eyes
upward, only the
white ceiling stares back;
filled with a numbness
that started somewhere

between the heart
and the latest
unsteady breath,
I turn to you

to ensure
that I do
not forget

what it
is to

laugh...

Dying Slowly
by Cate Rock

Dressed in sorrow 
Words not followed

Dead already
Hands unsteady

Tears fall 
You feel so weak,
So used,
So small.

Lying on the ground,
Stone cold dead,
Never to be found.

A desparate whisper
scuffles in the corner of
an unsteady tear
I miss the smell of your shirt
when hugs wiped away my fear
