Best Dwindling Poems

Apple cheeked autumn eyes bashful skies, as

Yellow frocked summer says her goodbyes to fragrant
Earth's seeded spring, to wild bouquets
Arranged by careless care, for the
Roses and daffodils to compare

Dandelion sprinkles of buoyant cheer on
Windswept wishes from children's magic, landing
In water lilies and long looping lanes, woven...

These days, i avoid the mirror...
Shunning my reflection, as a hunched Gollum 
Ducks his head from the sun’s incendiary stare –
I do not want to see…
Do not want the mirror’s truth, 
Etched in the hollows of my cheeks, 
In the death’s head darkness that dwells...

Seeking redemption is seen as the reason for sweet adjectives
prone to behavioral constipation, refusing the laxatives
Sincere actions of love so pregnant
may also give images so poignant
emotions always cloud reasoning from seeing actual motives....

As I combed your hair so fair,
It glistened strawberry red,
We embraced nature’s bounty
Through the stories that I read

Content, tranquil, restful
As you laid upon your bed
Crisp sheets, below your chest,
I tracked your every breath

Palm cross beneath your pillow,
Same place it's always kept
Your elegant, fine eyelashes
Curtsied graceful...

My audience is dwindling here on the Soup
Perhaps I should write about love stead of poop
Seems I've lost my way
Need help I must say
To come in from the wilderness and get back in the loop...

pain matures sorrow
trimming each firm will to try
reducing labor...

Faith is dwindling
A leak inside my dead heart
That I can not stop...

Hope
Dwindles
Changing course
Of time and space
With glacial winds suffocating my whole
And absence of color within the snow
With the harshness
Of yearning
Dwindles
Hope....

Hyacinths in a trance, bewitched by hysteria,
Amid the shadows of a mythological eclipse.
Elixir of roseate red oozing out loose progeria,
In islands where the sea weeps azure breaks.

Amid the shadows of a mythological eclipse,
Daunting me subtly with its crimson smell.
In islands where the sea weeps azure...

THE EVER DWINDLING FEW - USA Version
			
				       Beach Omaha	

At Omaha an old man stands and limps down  to the shore,
Where on this sand he crawled and  ran so many years before.
The skirl of pipes still in the...

Steeply, a mingling of the breaths occurring,
With ashes of raw pearls that were burned,
Preciseness is masked by contrasts of shading,
Pallid and toxic myths reap the rot observed. 

With ashes of raw pearls that were burned,
After the ecstasy spell, the disillusion dwindling,
Pallid and toxic myths reap...

A
Year set stained by grief from invisible foe,
Enraged in anxiety’s malicious chains.
Accosting not only a nation but world,
Reaching the farthest, secluded parts,
Devilishly leaving no stone unturned.
Withholding grandpa from grandson,
Idly stripping people’s livelihoods,
Needlessly voiding human liberties,
Disabling dictators from their seats.
Looking now,
I see chains now fastened to...

Back & forth
The swing dwindles and fluctuates forever caught in a spiraling breeze 
Time & again...

A turn and tilt from earth to sun

Your hot desire for summer fun
Eases into autumn’s tempering mood
A mellow scene of colorful cool
Restful, contemplative soothe. 

Dangling leaves restless to descend 
With bright flare, a path to transcend 
In metamorphosis from living to dying
Needing a break from...

"Dead leaves lay still until the wind takes them
         here and there:  even the last flower is withered:
yet there is a beauty in decay. "
