I slipped on a teardrop and landed in muck.
No inkling had I of my future bad luck.

The tear I had cried started out, oh, so small
I’d felt little need to be crying at all.

But crying that one single tear was enough
To bring to me to...

I slipped on a teardrop and landed in a laugh...

Who knew my tragic ending would have a happy half?

Please chuckle at my funeral and make my epitaph:

"I slipped on a teardrop and landed in a laugh"

Time slipped through my fingers

along with his worn out sweatshirt.

Hundred sunsets followed

the celebrations of my despair .

But not tonight         Tonight I am ignorant

to all that is sensible.

Not another second will be spared .

Tonight  I seek him...

I slipped on a teardrop
Landed in a tragedy
People with twisted minds
On random killing sprees
No legitimate reason
Fueled by ignorant hate
Politicians turning their heads
Letting guns proliferate
Unspeakable heinous acts
Leaving a trail of grief
Justifying murder
For a radicalized belief
But selling assault rifles
And other weapons of war
Doesn't make anyone safer
It only...

They trickled down my cheeks in steady streams
     and blotting was no use, the dam gave way.
As tears continued, some fell to the floor.
     I bent to wipe them- and began to sway.

I lost my balance, and...

Love rang my heart where I rebuffed her advances, hoping to heighten the longing love felt despite my fickle indifference, complacency and obstination. Love walked away and stoutly locked her door hermetically. I rue my puerile procrastination...

Love slips into longing 
hearts quiet, unheard, unseen
until it...

Sandra Hall was a college student, like experience gained from learning,
Living in the house of her parents; with love like red, fall leaves returning.

Sandra was in her final year of school, and she had a network of friends,
Like the grape, starry nights of luxury, that...

Back in the day living a riotous life in London
I used to walk along Park Lane almost nightly
I was living in Paddington but went out in Mayfair
Often as I passed the Grosvenor Hotel there was a ball.

One Night appropriately dressed I gate crashed
Very soon I...

A Georgia country preacher stayed up to prepare for his sermon all night.
He put the outline on a notecard to eliminate any oversight.
It was going to be a doozy, and he couldn’t wait to preach that morning.
He was on fire for God, his pure heart...

While searching for my counterpart,
someone who'll love me from the start,
I've felt loneliness break my heart.
Time slipped away!

In a myriad of places
amidst a thousand strange faces;
love has put me through my paces.
Games people play!

Hope is a coin squandered and spent
trying to relieve my torment;
disappointment, and...

I Slipped On A Teardrop...

I slipped on a teardrop and landed deep inside a pond,
After which I understood where all those teardrops do abscond;

The pond was huge and salty with tears of all kinds,
Some of little babies and some of lonely minds;

Some were of silly...

I started reading early
The poetry on this site
I had so much fun 
The day turned into night

I’m not sure when it happened
Or what I can say
I enjoyed myself so much
The time just slipped away

It wasn’t really my plan
To read all day long
But everyone writes so...

I'll always remember that humid July day when you, my best friend, almost slipped away. The shock of finding you so cold and stiff. It took four paramedics your body to lift. When I saw you on that stretcher being rushed away, all I could...

I tripped, I slipped into another world
Of mountainous peaks and different birds

Colours of pastels, in blazing hue
Sucked into this scene that I never knew

Gripping, flipping, I could hear myself talk
In wondrous view as I enter this baulk

My arms in flight as I reach these peaks
Motionless...
