Best Depletes Poems

When gazing Beta Persei,
a star with many ghoulish names, 
be wary of a winking eye,
for fluctuating flames
belie its evil aims. 

Ancient mariners would watch with dread
and chant their prayers out loud,
when that “Eye in Medusa’s Severed Head”
was held by Perseus, proud,
high o’er the heathen crowd.

Embers and snowflakes, fire and ice;
     opposites joined in many ways.
          Embers from fire, snowflakes from ice;
both can portend the end of days.

Ozone depletes, sunrays pierce through;
     fires...

Were time in the abundance of our youth
When days stretched out like plains to the horizon
I’d see an endless space, await the truth
Of outcomes that could come from chance arising

But now the dawn but presages the dusk
And time to pause in patience depletes
My innocence no...

Speaking once for some levity
Speak it twice for revenge
Speaking three times so you look at me
You’ll hear me never again

I paint you a picture
Of everything you are
If you’re honest you will love me
Too bad I’m just another scar

Speaking of how to retrieve me
I sing my...

Pain so debilitating
draining me of life
It is constant
with no respite
Saps my energy 
such pain within

Pain depletes joy 
from my face
Leaves strain and hurt
etched on my frown
As slowly and surely
pain grinds me down

Even when I try to sleep
pain keeps me awake
for hours on end
This enemy within
taking...

Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name is vanity!

By doubting Nature's regnancy,
defying laws with levity,
we strain our...

Merciful is God!
Therefore, repent thou sins and worship his glory.
Satan is purgatory.

Merciful is God!
Why be penitent and continue to sin?
Satan is agony.

Merciful is God!
By grace, you have been saved.
Only the life that repents depletes the spirit of Lucifer Satan.

God, who is rich in mercy, will...

Darkness steals the day’s fading sunlight
as the moon opens his bright eye above.
Stars begin to spray the ebony night  
that grips the still earth like a glove.

Streetlight burns through curtained window 
casting shadows along my painted wall.
Exhausted eyes commence to grow
but laggard body tends...

A thousand drops approach the fold.
Their mission, moisten, grains all whole.
To be lost when kneaded, tossed, or rolled.
Or mixed within the mixing bowl

For a lonesome drop, all hope depletes.
For surely will never be found.
This drop that missed its mark complete,
and splashed upon the ground.

To evaporate...

I’m stealing through a twilit realm, the ancient pale of Whereis,
passing chambers of an Heiress
(though no need to feel embarrassed)
through a magic mystic mirror hanging curtainless.

A glimpse near naked alleyways (denuded by the moon) ex-
poses Ghosts in gauzy tunics
carving symbols, round and runic,
in distended dingy...

The spring was on the way
time for the farmer to plough
straight lines running parallel
gleaming in the rich red loam

It had laid all winter waiting
now it was time to sow and seed
yellow mustard glinting in the sun
so pretty as it grows in leaps and bounds 

Little...

Say I:

On the websites I used to share, I was frequently amazed 
     Poems got greeted with silence; it seems eyes were quickly glazed. 

It’s as if I’d morphed into a Pig Latin-speaking warthog.
     My past efforts...

A blemished heart 
So weak I cannot walk
A life made of so many promises
I ask you who can you really trust?
After so much heart ache
The pain inside I can’t fake
Now I feel so hollow inside and there is a empty space
My heart feels that this...

[A] DONE DEAL

[A] defeated disgusting man this is.
Disallowed defense because of his disease.
[A] Done deal to compete with the Dogs!
Distribute dinner to him as a better eat of hog maws.

Do not deliberate this as a lost.
[A] Done Deal depletes the prognosis.
Dis Dell do. 
Hair her...

The Doer does: Yes, he does

The doer never says what he does
He does
Nor what he’s going to do
He simply does
Fears not the consequences
Of what he does
If by the hoi polloi right
He does
In accord with vox populi
He does
Even what the lambda citizen spurns
He does
Fears not what...
