Wrestling

Man wrestles
Leaving scars on his own flesh
Tackling the other on his path
Left to only caress him when he’s all that’s left

Premium Member Pm Boris Johnson's Bad Hair Days

PM Boris Johnson wrestles with bad hair days, but he doesn't seem to care!

Would some kind soul lend the bloke a comb and brush to tame his tousled hair!

Premium Member Faith Paved Road


Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking life's long and winding road,
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with truth's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.

Active Trochee

Climbing mountains, scaling cliffs,
Bungee jumping fan,
Action hero, stuff of myths,
Such a macho man.

Snorkels, dives and flies a plane,
Thrills and danger led, 
Wrestles, races, feels no pain…
Only in my head.

For Andrea’s 7/5 Trochee contest

The Humble and the Meek

I hear the trees
Whisper in the leaves
As she wrestles with the breeze

Gently standing free
Tempest passes over thee
Those standing claim victory

So God gave them the earth

And they smiled amogst the company
Calm and peace they´ll be

The Coming

Inside the Keepers pantry
Jesus can stare at any mirror
Our lives have changed
likens the chaff of wheat 
The Lord is neigh
as truth wrestles amongst the shimmering trees
and we are guided by our missives
The green patterns of holly
roots our dreams

Season's Greetings

The wind wrestles with its own, 
as trees cheer in the background, 
exposing the night that sings a lullaby. 
Voices in motion. 
Hushed tones rock an adult to sleep ~
Winter has come.

Element Wind

The wakeful wind whistles
Winding wearily and watching all
Wafting silently whispering woes
Weightlessly whipping wisplike whacks
Wondrously wild when wrathful weather attacks
Wrecking and walloping worsening in time
Nature wilts whimpering wordlessly worried
The wind whirls and wrestles in wingless flight

Test

Oh wisdom, I am left
plaintiff's accord ~ searching at best
and as it were for my true love's afford ~
he wrestles with resolve,
I wonder at reward.

Oh wisdom, grant my eye to sleep
 a while ~ so I may chord
some lasting Holiness ~ his, only his, a test
as when some creature leaves its own ~

Then stumbles on it's nest!

Filial Child 

Halfway to heaven, 
so thrilled to be saved.
My life, 
changed forever.
Filled with your spirit,
wrestles to serve. 

On fire…
in the night,
running through the streets, 
until I fall… before You.

Dancing for My Lord, 
To a music that has always been, 
and will forever be, 
echoed in all men’s souls.

Premium Member He waits in Ambush

   My soul eternal
     wrestles the devil infernal
 
  he waits in ambush 
     perpetually, for me

  to forget, and disconnect
     from God Almighty

  then rushes in to ruin and wreck
     extinguishes in a sec, the Light

  God gave me to spread throughout the world
     leaving my conscience submerged, deeply disturbed...

A Bullet Dodged Or a Bullet Lodged

Are you a bullet dodged, or a bullet lodged 
Deep within my heart
I feel so alive as you’re killing me
Tingling in the tangles of betrayal
Am I your victim or my own prisoner
Locked, tied and bound
I cannot move on with or without you
Hope and desire wrestles violently with strength and courage
If I cut the tie, will I die or will I fly
Away

Estate Sale

This house of things, with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe.
Out front the crabgrass wrestles with a lawn.
This house of things with all the people gone
imagines mildew, dust against the dawn.
See how mold and dryrot whisper to undo
this house of things with all the people gone.
A mother’s tea set and a daughter’s shoe.

Chaos

Man is lost to doom,
thirsting to soar higher —
higher than immortal skies

Pride often flames
the haughty paths
to the lions' den

Yet, danger to man,
remains unseen as
greed fuels his lust to glory,

Insolence wrestles nature,
and conceit glooms the
sight of his willful mind

Man is lost to doom,
his ego swings the air
till the abyss hugs his soul.

Premium Member Outside of the Cage

puppy licks himself all over
    kitty wrestles with a bone
  a horse jumps over the moon
    a cow on the range is home

  a snake sits next to Miss Muffet
    a spider swallows a rock whole
  Little Bo Peep loses her bears
    a sheep gets engaged to a foal

  animals normally don't act out of character
    ~ we humans design wigs for baldies and barristers

Premium Member Knowing

Poignant plot prevails
Sublime sensuous sails


Vain voices vivid
Last laughter limpid


Jovial jumpy joy
Private playful ploy


Steady subtle slots
Peachy primal plots


Dreamy dazzling daze
Crafty creamy craze


Tasty touching turns
Sensing sparkle stern


Worry wrestles waves
Clumsy calling caves

Inside

Morning breaks and I awake
off to start a new day
but my mind wrestles
within, the thoughts of you

warm winds wash over me 
and momentarily I'm at peace 
I watch the sky pushing her clouds
ever slowly passing by
and I can't help but wander
each shape a reminder of you

your eyes blowing past
winking a sultry goodbye
I could look for you forever
but you're already with me inside

Women Dont You Just Love Them

She placed her arms around,
And clasped her hands pressing her chest closer
Not uttering a sound

Her movements were poetry in motion
She was dedicated with a passion
Her gaze was a hypnotic potion

As she stood with her legs slightly astride
She put her all into it
Her femininity she did not hide

With my cup of tea, I admire her from afar
As she wrestles the Ikea flat pack from out of  the car

Premium Member She Wrestles a Bear

She swings from the trees
Landing full on her knees
We get out of her way
Her heart is lithe and gay

Her name is not known
But her attitude full blown
She does what she needs
And always succeeds

Her self-confidence is there
She could wrestle a bear
She is eight years old
Independent, sassy and bold

We admire her greatly
Have not seen her lately
Wait! She is on the seesaw
We other kids watch her in awe!

Love -The Artist of Hearts

Love painted a picture
in vibrant shades of passion, not
to be duplicated by mortal man.

Love mixed red-hot desire,
quiet colors of bliss and
deep purple indio shades of blue-twilight.

Love wrestles the colored shades
of dawn, hides in a dewy mist,
kisses morning light into steamy dreams.

Love splashes, sparkles of yellow sunlight
Into a radiant lavender-pink, for the
hushed promises framed within your smile.

Quick Gestures

quick gestures times seem subdued though somehow not alert moments begin to intrude captured by phrases never seen abrasions mute intentions fade as time is payed fools wage's are waisted pages redundant as it seems tongue will find means as it wrestles with the ink gives the mind time to blink worth in word's bakers dozen love and blood are second cousins just another farce wrote just this side of th dark .. .

Just a Pustule

I am just a pustule on the face of planet Earth,
wasting air and taking space since the sad day of my birth.

All my predecessors have by their own hands died,
insanity and hopelessness drew them to suicide.

Now my daughter wrestles with the demons of her kin,
living life daily, uncomfortable in her skin.

I'll not be missed when I am gone; I've left no real impression,
and daily life will just go on, steeped in deep depression.

Perversion By Ron Porter

Perversion.? ?Hidden deep inside
it roils and coils?; ?wrestles and writhes
screams,? ?gnashes,? ?gnaws and cries;
longing to tear the wings from flies

No volition to kill-? ?not the aim.
Rather,? ?to punish,? ?is the game.
Ignore deathblow,? ?purpose to maim;
in the wake,? ?leave broken and lame.

Pain persitent, ?it seeks to bring.
Perversion.! ?Lusts only to inflict suffering;
it insinuates to you?; ?it whispers to me
"make them hurt,? ?then you'll be free".

Eyes of the Rain

In the face of an early morning drizzle,
On a fireside earth-throne,
I sit and summon thoughts.
The firewood, red with the suppressed anger of
Smouldering fire,
Crackles constantly
Amid the paying of wages of serenity.

Thoughts and fascination cringe
My breath now pulsated by the throbs of wanton
Visions . . .

Invasion!
A gust of rain wrestles me down.
I stand, peering deeply into the grey, fussy
Band of wetness,
Where the eyes of rain met mine
In one quixotic moment.
