DIMINISHING HEX-ON-VERSE


A hex on this verse
how could it be worse
tongue in cheek or terse
potion to reverse
a poetic curse

quivered arrows
wingless sparrows
Sphinx and Pharaohs
distant gallows

funnels bend
wordless blend
poems end

contend
pretend

words

Reading
Writing
Arrhythmic

Are taught at school
Through methods cruel
Disciplinary tool

But choose ye a new school

Dim the light's
Call and end to time
Of nursery rhymes
Reading times

If you can tear your attention 
Away from the television screen 

Ages 5 till 16
What you have just seen

Is in no way real
Does that any...

“Yesterday” We could write each other a
“Worldly script” From the heart,
“Today” We have our fears
When pondering “Where to tomorrow”
Our “Two worlds colliding” As the
“Thread” Of our lives bares its soul
In “Thoughts of you”. We ask each other
Is this “The way it use to be?”
When trying...

The lights are dimmed 
On our normalcy
Time is up and
We have to leave
Don't look that way
We both agreed
Trust me
It wont kill you to breathe

No hours left
To conclude our answers
We can't go back
We spent the chances
We MUST lose the meaning 
In our glances
Diminishing echoes
Of silent dances....

The faction based on realistic fact is fortuitous.
Precluding from the problems of reality  is to focus on oranges you are carrying and not the snakes crawling beneath you.
To  be overcomed by a disorder does not mean you are not liable of kicking the...

shared a kiss goodbye
took in the scent of the rose
my eyes see nothing
heard crows call from distant trees
that is until the lid closed.

The First Sign of Diminishing Love is......

While all there is
Is a kiss
The explosion reeks its havoc in your head
While all there is
Is this havoc-ed love you have
This ripping sheet of unvented desire
Blows like a tattered flag
In your chest

And I have walked on the burning coals...

In royal trappings to enthrone
A cerebral web with guile did hone
With glistening silk strands spun
Blithe veil of satin strings did run
Silted threads bleeding heart did stun
Your mercurial shadow skirted the sun
Into your sticky clutches, entranced suitor flew
With malice aforethought your hearth did stew
Your calculating mind...

They try many things to get you down
to this gambling Mecca of a seashore town.
In many directions, the management of these places will go.
It has all been carefully designed to get your dough.
Free meals, free drinks, free rooms, and more.
However, they are not as generous...

abating hope
diminishing 
like warmth
of this sun
hidden 
in the somberness
of december skies
and downcast eyes

i watch this snow
descending around me
flakes falling like lives
one after another

the chill of wind
wrapping me
in the same 
frigid grasp
as death

i feel 
as lost
as footsteps
fading
in the depths
of white
sweeping
across the ground

as my tears
fall in disbelief
shattering
on...

DIMINISHING WILL

After a long gap,thought to do some pennings
Days passed,week weekened,month modified 
Oh my God, year too ran out without notifying me,
This is how the time timed me out, not caring me !


Why should I blame it on time,who is always perfect !
But blaming on...

Diminishing Light

Rays of misty light, rainbows of colour
streaked across the spaces between tear filled eyes
and their source. I hear their voices,
but find no coarse, know no direction,
for they offer no choices.
There will be no resurrection ?

Not to find, not to know affection ?
Only to know...

Cheri’s purse has been found near a retention pond
it has her ID, credit cards, and her medical card
They drain the pond and find her car keys and one boot
Cheri has been missing for six days
It is a cold November, she did not go far without...

As the oil dwindles, the flame slowly recedes,
Its once radiant gleam now a fading bead.
Stealthily, darkness creeps in like a thief,
Snuffing out life with a touch of grief.

With an icy grasp, akin to a ruthless foe,
Darkness seeks to extinguish and bestow,
Even the glowing embers of...

Squeeze into the crowd
For snatching the right bargain
Early bird catches the worm
Squeeze into the crowd
For Chinese kung fu acting
Selling magic medicated oil
One day the crowd becomes diminishing
With SOP
Another day it starts to grow again
When people become careless
With the opening of the borders
It will grow further...
