Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along
Old Man Winter now flagging, and slip sliding along... as his stronghold diminishes. Signals, triggers, and ushers kickstarting debut of demure "Flora" who slowly but surely attempts to reveal her true colors in fits and starts, nevertheless, she displays skittishness, when sun kissed "Radiance" (the closest equivalent would be Aglaea from Greek mythology, one of the Charites (Graces) associated with radiant beauty and festive splendor) dearly...

Premium Member Sliding delicately into the shimmering ashes of forgotten dreams
Sliding delicately into the shimmering ashes of forgotten dreams, The target of vanilla tears tracing the contours of lost time, Your once steady body lit candles for wanderers in the darkest nights, And now your night is darker than the flickering candle’s ray. We will forget you, somehow, for that is the nature of things. It is not kind, but...

Did I catch a electroshock after sliding down the slide?
Could it be, that you smiled at me? Or did, my brain formulate a kit?...

Sliding to the First Day
It is summer, and the umbrella men are selling hotdogs. A good-looking priest enters Saint Pat's, gangly girls giggle, then make the sign of the cross. Thursday is All-You-Can-Eat pizza day, the joints will be too crowded, the slices rushed out, slapped down way to early or late. Office workers flock from the second floors of everywhere, huddle shoulder to shoulder, to spread rumors, then return to gaze at desktop computer...

Sliding to the First day
It is summer, and the umbrella men are selling hotdogs. A good-looking priest enters Saint Pat's, gangly young ladies giggle, make the sign of the cross. Thursday is AllYouCanEat pizza day the joint will be too crowded, too poky, the pizza rushed out, slapped and pasted. Office workers, those that take medicinal weed, come flocking from the second floors of nowhere, shoulder to shoulder, they huddle to spread petty scandals...

Premium Member Travel Once Sliding Octet
Travel once on a haunted train, a taste may make you lose your mind; Railroad tracks leave the world behind dismantled boxcars keep rolling; Phantom mouths continue screaming, they show you tickets that were signed; Pure horror here is well defined, you’ll visit with those who were slain; Now you feel even more confined, travel once on a haunted train; Take the seat that...

Just Thinking Out Loud and Sliding Away
At the night when the shadows fall It’s you I remember in my all Nothing then seems so long ago As we dance again in our lover’s concerto Just thinking out loud and sliding away I wake and you are in and around me Is this how love was meant to find me Pray these moments won’t leave me now Not knowing...

Premium Member Sliding Under a Bathroom Stall
if you are finicky or squeamish at all do not crawl under that locked bathroom stall. You never know what you will find on the ugly floor crusty dried feces and urine, other awful stuff galore if you are the one who locked it and slid out of the way know that we custodians kind of despise you today....

Sliding Type
Even if push or pull, your door doesn't open. Because your door is sliding type. I'll try to open your door next time. So please wait until then....

Slip Sliding Away
What can’t be forgiven must be forgotten Memory the catalyst for sorrow and pain The future endemic its danger befalls us Salvation escaping —reluctant to change (Dreamsleep: January, 2023)...

Premium Member Sliding Back
vertiginous in a virulent cityscape gagging on gritty gray gloom luckless in a loveless race at the bottom of a solipsistic sinkhole (\\\\?!?!----!?!?\\\\) exhausted by lucent losses lying low & flying blindly behind sliding back into Whateverland where dust confronts the futile frontier...

Sliding Through the Hood
Stale milk sky, traffic is trawling for any surfacing light. Rubber squeaks on the smeared blacktops. No hills to climb in this part of town we are flat earth and mostly just tilted into our daydreams. Corner shops are damp and derelict or heaving with low class crime. Shadows pounce if you drop a dime. Its a crawl through a gauntlet no one runs here...

Premium Member Sliding Chordal Wizardry
Rose and crimson-hued petals look ethereal In the pouring chromatic wizardry darkness Golden silken colors are included in the boreal Every red drop of a vivid array, cut starkness. In the pouring chromatic wizardry darkness. Rejuvenating the gaze of magnificent seawater Every red drop of a vivid array, cut starkness In the thriving watery depths of Angel's wonder. Rejuvenating the gaze of magnificent seawater A...

Sliding my door open Peeking in through to see if you’ll be coming through My heart beats beyond racing beats My eyes wide open to see you through the door of my sliding door Moments of touch and soft caress of love Brazenly drive my heart towards you Waiting for you to come through my sliding door moment...
