Staying Poems

Premium MemberStaying in Touch

Make the plans 
How it will go
No frills, no fuss
Just straight boho
The only thing 
I want to do
Is kiss the bride
We both know who

Of course I know,
It's standard song 
But see I want
To kiss her long
And taste her smile
With both my lips
While grazing skin
With fingertips

The Perils Of Staying Power

How’s your finger? 
                            How’s your rib?
These are words I don’t ad lib

How’s your backache?

Staying Out of Reach-The Siren’s Story

She was a fish out of water, only in the metaphorical sense, for the sea was her song and her home, where she played, where she laid her head, and where she was taught to bite with the most melodic twang, but she loved humanity, and her sisters hated her

Premium MemberSTAYING YOUNG AT HEART

May we be blessed as we age
before this world it’s our time to depart…
that the wrinkles which inevitably find their way upon our skin
never find their way into our heart.

Premium MemberStaying Up, Not Down

My emotions spinning around
My world's turned upside down.

I'm out of control
Confusion rules my soul.

Agony is reaching it's highest peak
My voice cracks when I try to speak.

Every hour of every day
I think of you in every way.

As the storm makes the wind spin around and around
Inside my mind, I feel like I'm going to drown.

The torture

Oh America

Oh America, America, how much you have changed.

From Washington to Trump, we've all been estranged,

Wars over freedom, then rights, whatever it may be,

Just remember "We the people" are a forever family.

Times of terror and shock, had us all scared,

But because of support and love, you showed that we care.

The countries that despise you, and try

Staying One Stop Ahead


Cool
grandson
is unmoved
by convention.
Place has no value
except as it connects
to young imagination.
My elf ladders are not missing;
Spiderman and Robin need a bridge
to cross the creek that runs under 'Cool's' bed.

There are no buildings there to climb upon.
One busy mind fixated on need
ingenuity moves forward.
He is now outside; I see
my garden hose inside
arched thru a window.
One speedy

I AM STAYING

I can' keep moving 
Not because I have no strength
But doing it for my health
I can just keep on begging

I feel like to stop 
To sink into silence
But I have to get you to the top
For you to advance

So I am staying 
Though it is not easy,but forgiving
Moving is not my priority
I do not go

Premium MemberTriumphant While Staying Low

"A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." Proverbs 29:23 of the King James Bible

Aspiring for achievement glow
That vanquishes painful defeat’s shadow
Arrogance stands at loftiness gate for a show
While selfishness glitters midst jewel of hypocrite’s woe…
Oh, proud human nature, needs heaven blow
To mutter need for divine blessing flow
And

Premium MemberStaying Put

I have no plans to go away
As long as you don't, here I'll stay
But if you do then I will too
The reason why I'm here is you
I hate to think a day's in store
When I won't see you anymore
So I'll just take it day by day
And make no plans to go away

Premium MemberStaying True Deep In The Woods

God calls us to follow His way
with no guarantees of a easy road
but one great promise He'll never leave us
no matter the weight, He knows our load

This has always been my experience
but the Lord has been faithfully true
assured of His presence no matter what
standing firm in the woods I would do

When I lost my dear

Premium MemberStaying Up Late

I’ve a lot on my mind I want to forget
And there’s so much more I want to remember.
But it seems I can’t concentrate on more than one thing
So I’ll leave reality for imagination.
 	Staying up late and getting up early.
 	Staying up late…

I have no intention of living the American dream.
And yet I don’t want

Premium Memberstaying a night in a haunted house

1548 Linden Avenue has a reputation for being haunted.
It’s scary, eerie, people have died in there, they cautioned me.
I was offered a thousand dollars to stay here one whole night.
I brought my sleeping bag, a flashlight, a book and snacks.

Everything was fine for the first couple of hours, and I fell asleep.
A loud crash woke
