with every step I gingerly take
I have ankle-breaking potential
thanks to my dog’s obsession with digging
If I do fall into one of his holes, I will be buried alive
clods of dirt flying into my face from his back paws
right now I am sitting at my outside table
which used to be safe
not anymore
it now has six giant holes surrounding the perimeter
My left foot just got whipped into the air by his massive neck
because he is digging a hole under my right foot
urge to control
lust patrolling
enrol love beats

AITS NEAR COMES EVERY YEAR
so as you go light mabe low
some will wear look like a gost
to you they might tost
so there's no tear
have some fears
you might wept
that night do it right
WATCH YOUR STEP
Tiny sand crab hides
Burrowed deep in the beach sand.
Sometimes a sand crab
May get stepped on, they’ll remind
You harshly, watch where you step
Watch your step
you may get lost
if you get you lost
you may not return.
If this is love
I don’t know why the fear
and if I burn inside
my core will burst in flames
while in my own passion
I blaze, bite, sing, and cry.
Meet me by the fountains brink
bring your quill and maybe ink
for you are all ones that blink
20, 40 count them all
but watch your step
as you may fall.
don't forget
ground is wet
kept mind awake
still snow flakes
so eyes don't wept
WATCH YOUR STEP
the snow is gone
but stay tone
as your on the phone
don't just carry on
put this under your belt
WATCH YOUR STEP
I thought it odd, this parallel
'Tween what is couth, and what is feral
But sings the Herald, my steps in peril-
Considered, I, that all was well...
I know this path is dangerous,
Upset that Life is merely heinous
When all I want is to be Famous,
So ends this tragic tale!
Each footstep, thunders
Near by, sunning rocks, tremble
Neurotic turtles!
if your in town
moving around
look up
and down
you fall
this is for all
put this under your belt
WATCH YOUR STEP
walk slow
when you go
when the wind blow
make you know
whats under your
belt
always
WATCH YOUR STEP
A mouse in a trap------
Action leads to consequence.
