Quote "The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why" by Rumi

         ******************

I stood while Genesis breathed,
a slope of cinders, forged from death.
Youth splashed sludge on my skull
kismet resonated ahead.

I ventured beyond the silk of youth—
It's homaloidal

On the slippery slope

hear me, see me, slip
down the s

              she went down the slope
               her mind in rapid decline
                 

Slippery Slope To Our Forever

Slippery Slope to Our Forever

    1. Every time I am with you, time always goes slowly.

    Or perhaps it is I would cling to each memory, afraid of feeling lonely.

    They say it is human nature to protect oneself—we act tough.

    I must

Ascent

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.

Slippery Slope

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"

Rise Over Run

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"

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

This Time I Will Dance In the Rain

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

Slippery Slope

 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.

A Christmass Gift That Slippery Slope

I walk back
Along the path
That once
Filled me
With tribulation
Each bend
And stumbling block
Another knife
In me back
I still see
Anger
Splayed across faces
And hands
Going for hilts
Would be my blood
Spilt this day
Not yet
Time for retribution
I need 
Desire
To find
Paths end
For I thirst
For salvation
Not
A bitter end

Strange
I find myself
Selflessly
Walking
Backwards
Along these
Beaten paths
Like a
Tourist would do
Over old forgotten 
Battlefields

This be where
I slay
The dragon

This rock
Is where
I spoke

She Slips On Slippery Slope

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.

Park Slope

Brownstones bathed in light
ivy on wrought iron rails
flowers welcome friends

Gentle Slope

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

Did See Slope of a Dope

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
