Stepped Poems

He Stepped Up

He Stepped Up

In the quiet after heartbreak,
When the echoes of the past still stung,
You arrived not demanding,
Not to conquer, but to heal.

You saw the tender places in me,
The parts I didn’t trust,
Wounds carved by another’s hand,
And you stepped up when you didn’t have to.

My children, my loves,
They came with my scars, my fears
Yet you wrapped

before voices stepped in

I can’t remember who I was,
before voices other than mine stepped in.

I think I wanted to be
a movie director, a script I read in kindergarten—
a line or two still hums when I dream.

I think I wanted to be
a fashion designer, my first sketches—
heels like daggers, dresses stitched with thunder.

I think I wanted to be
a writer,

From the moment you stepped into my life, I felt the planets change their orbit

From the moment you stepped into my life, I felt the planets change their orbit,
the ocean turned its waves like a song of the sea toward the shore of my soul,
the sky painted rainbows as arcs of light for your arrival,
and roses bloomed unexpectedly, carrying your scents like a secret of the gods.
The world's butterflies

bison stepped on my foot today

Brutish bison stepped on my left foot today
Making me less merry, forcing me to delay
It weighed a ton, so what could I do?
I yelled “Get off of my tennis shoe!”

Skittish bison got startled and galloped away
My toe is broken, bleeding, its nail is turning gray.
So, I cannot come over for my play date today.
Maybe you

The night before

I think it was a weekend night,                                     
 Suddenly I got up from bed,     

You Stepped Into the Garden

You stepped into the garden
arrived the Bougainvillea of the spring
stanzas of poetry

You're putting on the big eyeglasses
lips on bouquet get concealed behind
the maze of metaphor

In the nest of deep green leaves
the bud is in a swell
waves of poems rhythmic

In the flute, the serotonin circuit 
igniting the flames of an orange
the flavour of a sonnet

The chiselled

Many Heroes Stepped Up On 911

The heroes ran in as others were booking out.
Those of us who are not selfless do not understand.
We watch in disbelief.
Who would run in there?

The building seemed to implode.
It was like there was a bomb placed in the middle.
Not like it had only been hit by a plane.
People jumped to their deaths. Did they die

Ohh Man I Juz Stepped N Sum Poo-

Walking across the yard I fell I fall
 And on my pants I saw fresh manure
But at the park I sat on the bench
And when I got up
On the bottom of my foot
Sculpted I saw and looked a mound of manure
Oh! Man I just stepped in
Someone's doggy- doo
Ahh! Man I just gotten these new Air

The Man Who Stepped Outside

Iron strangers on iron benches still
Frozen in time below barometers reach
At zero you can feel the touch of March
Remain motionless until both come alive
Which is never but never mind

Covered in the thick snow of middle winter
Coats and blankets unknown in these parts 
More dead than alive as forms might whisper
Once they lived but that is

I Stand I Stepped In An Aquatic Spillway of a Dream Lake-

I STAND I STEPPED IN AN AQUATIC SPILLWAY OF A DREAM LAKE

Dream lake head waters
Thing of lacquer
Engaging lacquering
Full of shallows
Silent lac

I stand I stepped in an aquatic spillway of a dream lake

Out by the thought of lakes
Of my dreams, rivers streams
A body of waters
Cumulating waters gathering together,
All those rivers streams

I stand I stepped in an

Day I Stepped On Back of a Chair

I stepped back onto the back of the chair, not the seat.
Began screaming when I realized I was going down hard.
My foot landed in six different directions.
I yelled “Get the boss! Get co-workers! Get everybody!”

Ambulance came to get me. EMTs were very nice.
Gave me medication that kept me from going into shock.
I had torn my

I Stepped Outside To Sniff the Night

And gazed a hump shaped cloud
afront a winking moon

God Stepped In the Way

GOD STEPPED IN THE WAY

I was running down the highway of my sin unto my doom,
And the outcome from my choices was a life of endless gloom.
I had wandered into darkness from the light of righteous day
And was groping for an answer, then God stepped in the way.
I was searching for fulfillment, never being satisfied;
Had

She Dainty Stepped - Lei

I saw her first on windswept plain
Her gold hair shone like sunlit grain
Her skin as fair as cloud above 
A form that spoke to me of love...  

She dainty stepped; I held my breath
My heart did gasp, a gasp of death
For she was lame, as lame could be
Would love still fain join her with

Stepped Into the Circle

Stepped into the circle
I am the lion in the jungle
When I roar the jungle 
Recognized my voice 
I stand tall above 
I really don't care 
Cos blood is water 
In our region
No wonder my soul
Is outstanding in a red sea
Despite I don't fight the 
Sharks
Yet when I bleed 
They feel my blood
