Voracious Appetite
Around the kitchen I was bumbling with pots and pans see me fumbling for something yummy with an empty tummy it was rumbling took a long hard look and now I'm mumbling as there's not a lot to cook but bread crusts crumbling long past their sell-by date it's ever-so humbling but there's no point at all this late in grumbling about standing the heat or beating a retreat but better yet...

The Fall Below
The edge is close, my steps are slow, I shouldn’t look, but still, I know. I told myself I’d just come see But now the fear is holding me. The ground’s too far, my hands feel weak, My chest is tight, I barely speak. The railing’s there, but what if not? What if it slips? What if I drop? I take one step,...

stumbling
traversing a feeling is like a drunk walk home not very appealing my words mix like loam stumbling through silence each thought’s a misstep I’m haunted by shadows by things left unsaid the weight of my doubts clings close like a shroud wishing for courage to speak out loud. but here in the quiet, my heart’s not alone, I hope you don’t hate me for things I’ve not shown....

On Life Stumbling Hope
Everyone is like that Looking for happiness Hope for peace, strength and sufficiency Should grow up, be mature, be mindful Telling myself to try to live well. Entering life, stumbling is better enough Just realized, living a good life is not easy Be yourself, focus on the go The whole world is a strawberry pond Already a boat must accept the float....

Stumbling

Premium Member Stumbling In Mordant Shadows
How quickly I became intoxicated from the salt I'd tasted around the rim of the crystal chalice he filled for me with ambrosia kisses as shadows fell. A spell was cast on this dark bewitching night, beneath the torches of burning stars. I drank deeply until overcome with desire, shivered when I felt an icy hand invade my soul. Fear was a...

Stumbling Over Myself
I hate that what I want to say Wants to come out two different ways. “Have a good day”, “thank you for the compliment” Have a thank day. …what did I say? Is that what I meant? Stumble and bumble when my lips won’t work Sounding dumb, seeming stupid, seeing a smirk. That’s why it’s on my...

Lo, Stumbling Stones Love Me Still
Those that praise my pen too far and quick, Innocent but perhaps make me weak. Those that scraps and crumbs about me keep, Slights and snubs of theirs do make me sick. Journey’s end— end of all juice we sip, Thanks Lord, ways of life winding to keep. Willingly whose shoulders bear huge load, Repeated rounds on...

Stumbling Upon Beauty
You have to forgive me Been in the hospital For 3 days now With mi amor Who has been In a month white uniforms Calm colors familiar I almost forgot I Step on new ground each day Antiseptic smell Broken by humanity When what is taken To relieve pain Causes another This day we should Have flown out Caught a wind gust Soared high Above streets Yet remain another day You have to forgive...

Premium Member Stumbling Towards Desire
I stumble pajamaed, half asleep toward the object of my desire. in memory, it calls to me, of passionate pleasures experienced prior. The morning's night is the consummate time for secret rendezvous discrete. With ninjaly sneak I arrive at the door - my illicit joy within reach. But to my horror I find the pizza gone - again, my...

Twas the night before Christmas; As Mrs. Klaus was washing dinner dishes; Santa is at the workshop; He’s got a cold, sucking on cough-drop; While walking through the snow; Frozen his left foot pinky-toe; Had too much cough syrup; Was so dizzy leaving fell on reindeer stirrups?
