Death seems to be my life, 
Each day i seize to fade, 
Every waking moment and breath
We are all slowly drifting away.

I sit at my table
and look out the window

after rain
the sun pokes through clouds
waking dreams

waking up alone
under a liberating morning sun
feeling utterly careless and carefree

Everything is waking up
Listen, the trees speak
And with golden light so fair
All the world I see awakes

In waking, tough to swallow
In sleep, liquid pools
to be tasted, drank silver,
only to metal harden.

Love's, Morning Dew

Waking, unto her dawn's silkened touch..
Gently tracing love's moist, wet lips;  soft
Blossoming pink petals; her beauty's kiss.

Spring

Spring

One perfect forlorn last snowflake
To lemon drop tulip flies
Sleep dormant to blossom life
To waking kiss and ready sighs
Form: Quatrain

Coffee

Waking up to aroma
Of a gourmet 
array 
as you awake.
Some like it black
some take creamy.
Many stop and buy
that morning juice .

Premium Member Wicked Caustic

In spring time
I get mad angry
At the snow leaving
And I’m wicked caustic
In my temperamental
Waking from
Hibernating sleep

gold,
gleaming,
gilds the light,
quickens pulses,
making eyes go wide,
waking up greed,
steels resolve,
sets goals:
gold!

watercolors bleed through the waking woods —
     nebulous November fog
              releases crimson shade

Nighttide Seductions

Waking up wet her loveliness lingering...
In pools of perfume gathering as, trickling
Her tongue tasting; thick, deep inside my lips.

Edgar Allen Poe

Edgar Allen Poe
Shocked the world with darkened prose.
To form in minds the various frights 
And keep them waking through the nights.
Form: Clerihew

Midnight

Toxic sky,
Washes dry,
Eve’s bend,
Beside a friend,
For eternity,
The waking dawns shared,
With an herb seasoning,
And lovely smiles.

Threshold

I stand at the edge
Twixt rock and fire
Too weary to fight
Too angry to stop
The crows that haunt my waking steps
May never know peace

Early Birds

The dawn is breaking
Waking the birds in the roost
Time to rise and fly
In bird island by the sea
Early birds catch the best worms
Form: Tanka

Premium Member Life

Waking up is hard to do. More travails, the new day brings.
Going to bed is hard too.  Life is once,
I do not want to miss anything.

Honey Eyed

go back to 
sleep. 

The World 
is 
worse for 
wear,

without 
us 

worrying 
about it.

Crisp apple, 

ripen 
later.
