she went down the slope
her mind in rapid decline
my old friend is gone

Touching the soft light
Fumbling with forevermore
Releasing fumes, feelings glow,
Breathtaking, dreams trembling, awkwardly climbing,
Arrested by fate, the flow of mystery,
Triplex herbs in indigo, violet kiss
Stirring disciplines,
Evoking her light,
glowing beneath the unsteady crevices
Reflecting the impossible, dazzling, bright.

Soaring through the snowy week in glamorous attire
King of the Alpine traversing ski empire
In-bounds, snowploughing towards the opening glades
Innards begin to weaken, dignity fades
Naked snow adorned with last night's feast
Green run renamed – "Innards off-Piste"

There once was a mathematician named Swope
Who said,” In calculus, while I’m deriving, I hope
To find an function so perfect
No tangent could touch it
Lest I fall on a slippery slope"

The wind howls, trees sway and branches creak
Across frozen, snow covered ground
Where ice merges all around
As if life has now found
A slippery slope
On which to cope
While watching
The sun
Set

I am on the slope of recovery
Down are demons of suffering and anxiety
And this slope ,this slope is slippery
On the top ,good time is waiting for me
With every step forward i am growing
But on this slope ,it is hard to keep going
Infact ,it is easier to relapse
Coz for my little struggles i get no claps
That dark sad sad november
Vividly ,i still remember
When one fight on the phone
Kicked me hard on the floor
All of my recovery was shattered and torn
And i did not want to live anymore
The decision i took in December
To finally change and get some help
I Couldnt have taken without friends and family memeber
It was a decision for myself
That decision was not at all easy
But it gave restart to my recovery
And i am still in the process of it
"No relapse " ain't a guarantee
I might have a fall once again
I may still go through ugly pains
But this time i may not complain
Instead try to dance in storm and rain !

Wild weather worked a wicked prank;
Bankrupt I went, then sank and drank.
To be more precise
Funds melted like ice,
Deposited in the wrong bank.

She swims on streaming sonata of spring song,
sailing slow sings solo in squall surge so strong,
slips on sheer slippery slope of sticky silt sheets,
on split Sitar of snapped strings she sourly sits.

I walked a gentle slope
My heart full of hope
A sight serene to me
A sea to see to be free
Traverse the hill
For a lonely thrill
Look upon it all
But dare not fall
An ocean of gray
Where pilgrims still pray
A lighthouse illuminates
Our fate of hate
But still we dream
Of being one team
A nod of the head
The earth is my bed
Wise are leaf rattles
I'm amused by their tattles
If here I fell asleep
My purity I could keep
It's always a pity
That I return to the city
But still I walked a gentle slope
My heart bursting with hope

Did See Slope of a Dope
What we did was to have given up hope,
And had decided that they were a dope;
Knowledge lack;
Never bring back;
Intelligence level was a negative slope.
(Appearance looked just like some slope.)
(To have put up with was hard to cope.)
Jim Horn
So how was your poem using hope, dope
and slope.

Trump Skiied Off Side of Slope
Trump has remained far away from hope;
Tried to see things and broke his scope;
To fact resigned;
He lost his mind;
We sure wish had skied off side of slope.

Don’t get my soul until I'm born,
Umbilical is cut you see,
Life's costs begin (though child IS free!)
My sin now starts as I suborn
My mother's breast and warmth, I cry!
This love's reward? I dose and smile,
And gravitate to lullaby!
My parent’s dream - it's all worthwhile.
Birthday's a first; I'm truly me,
And one day closer to my death,
I learn to share what needs there be,
(While life slow-poisons all with breath.)
No baby's cute to pleasure you,
It lives to serve itself alone
You may get pleasured this is true,
God's gift - child's needs somehow atone!
In serving others, love gets found,
Our life's the price to earn this truth,
Some take, unlearned, this to the ground
And never reconcile their ruth.
Life's "Why's" too big, no man can know,
Just trust God's there, our cry's untoward,
Find joy when those around you grow,
A good death is life's best reward.

I walk the slippery
strip of life blindfold, across
the tunnel of death.
