Slower Paths
A chill wind snatches his thoughts away. Arctic crocodiles slip up and down his spine. There was a time when deep winter walking was a brisk challenge, but that younger man is now, ...

Premium Member Shh, Speak Shrouded Sounds Slower
Shh, surrender silent sorrows. Subconsciously slip into stillness, sedately surrounded in serenity's song. Slumber satisfied, slithering softly between silky soap scented sanitized sheets. Soak up summaries of summers spent splashing at seashores, sandles sifting through salt scented sand, as sapphire skies shine splendidly. Scores of silver seagulls soar stunningly above saltwater seaweed scenery. Suddenly snorkeling with seahorses, you somehow...

Whistle Blower Who Had Been Slower
While on tree became a grower; Seemed to be slower and slower, And a big pain; Constant strain; In middle found a whistle blower. Do remember when on me dawned, Trump appeared to be far beyond, We believe; Pity receive; All our thoughts he did abscond. So all of my poems how is this? And object of them you did miss; Stuck up far; Obscure scar; Thought I had...

Start Sailing Slower and More
Start Sailing Slower Surely Soon Should start sailing slower surely soon; Mind melded making magnificent moon; Chanted charade; Constant cavalcade; Then think that tremendous turned the tune. You can turn into all sorts of things that will include a tremendous tune. Jim Horn...

Premium Member Slower Than Slow Motion
Still clinging onto the hangover of colonialism with mental independence weighed to a pathetic size of almost zero. You are a beautiful woman, yet low esteemed like a barbaric savage. You are contented with pain because of the availability of opiods. You constantly shuttle in this nonsense with the thought you are caressed by time. Greed and a constant...

Premium Member Rock Me Slower
Again, you ain’t got the rockin’ time To shake my waist jiggling a move Between the thrill that leads to you And a summer lost from faraway grooves. Boy, again those hazed gigs roll and subdue Our desire touching night’s rhyme. When that leather skin comes along My soul falters with a yearning ,raw Raw in toasted coals of primal...

Slower
When we first met our eyes were wide, We were both looking for a need inside. Our lives were at a crossroad, With each of us carrying a different load. We found ourselves with a gift from above, I knew and you knew he would need a lot of love. Not yet knowing each others tendencies, We rushed in and paid our...

A Slower Dance
We are experts at the dance of drawing near And you lift your hand, as though my hand to touch; I approach this lovely dance with lingering fear, For I simply cannot swing into this trust. You are expert at the dance of drawing near, Yet I fear to take your hand, t'would be too much; I wonder what we call...

Write Me a Song That Will Make My Heart Beat Slower
The rush of the music the beat of my soul I have the voice I need the sound It takes two minds to complete a masterpiece My poems have the words I only need the tune to complete it Write me a song and I'll be yours forever...

Slower To My Thoughts
My mind is Moving rolling Soaring Moving faster Slower to my thoughts My mind is on this Winding track that is… Link by kink Growing faster Slower to my thoughts My mind is on fast-forward While my heart is on rewind My mind Fanatically oppressed Dramatic to heart Systematic to life And this track is… Bar by bar Swelling faster Slower to my thoughts Drawing a circle Stroke by stroke It closes in Bringing my mind To this… Word...
