Best Dwindling Away Poems

I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am dwindling away,
And i hardly need to tell you this is not a normal day.
Now i'm smaller than a pickle,
Than a pencil,
Than a prune,
And it's patently apparent i will vanish very soon.
I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am smaller than a...

My sparkle is dwindling away,
I am just scouring the edge lay,
Launching the vigor to praying,
Like a dream on this olden day.

Whimsical at loads is bursting.
Nirvana seeps his crux meeting.
He grasped dictum obfuscation.
Scrawled on my ego beguiling

Thus burst in shards of vexation
I posit soothing deception. 
Recognized...

  His work outlasts the best, I’m sure…
        …~William Shakespeare, Hamlet, 1601-
“to hold, as t’ were, the mirror up to nature…”

I can’t think.
Can’t get my thoughts
To stop their frenzied waltz
And line up once again
In a straight pattern,
One after the other,
The way they used to 
When everything was still
So goddamned simple.
I can’t effing think.
If my shattered heart
Beats any faster,
I fear it will escape
The familiar prison of...

LOST AND FOUND

Life once lost can never be regained,
Often taken for granted, by sin it's stained,
Verily, verily, once your soul is lost,
Everything put together can't pay the cost;

Remember there is only one way,
Do it now, there may not be another today,
Listen carefully to what I...

Alpha Omega

Has your silence consented

Turn around,look at me

Heavy heavy bursting away

 

Jehovah Nissi

Manna provider our father's enjoyed

Fill me in to your presence

Manna provider give me food

 

Peace in heavy heart

Smiles for saddened sorrow

Alleluia in your bide

Staying there forever

 

Another year at her ebb

Dwindling away flicking

Tommorrow...

Everybody still has bits and pieces that make us human, traits from a time before we became convoluted replicas unwittingly tracing our steps to the grave. We all started with hearts full of desire, souls on fire, the curiosity to explore the universe. So many...

Signs of summer dwindling away show themselves
Yellow buses exclaim school is in session
Children no longer fill the parks through the day
Parents breathe a sigh

Teachers prepare great lessons to mold young minds
Eyes wide with wonder at what they discover
At three the bell rings and hastily they...

         here and there:  even the last flower is withered:
yet there is a beauty in decay. "

Smoldering reflections of a scarlet moon,
wearing a crimson half-smile ...
silhouette rest on the rose-embroidered kimono,
draping your naked anxiety 
Thorns on the other side of the pillow — 
lonely fears of a union dissolving,
pierce through the silvery sob dreams

Shivering cold thoughts, 
coming from eyelids closed,
are silently...

Sometimes I speak
just to make sure
the words still come out of my mouth
with sense

I never really 
say the things 
I truly mean,
those thoughts come out 
so much easier 
on paper

I think the world 
is a shallow, heartless place
to spend forever
dwindling away,
dying

So I make sense of...

(8/17/11)

There is always this thought  that enters our minds
Of always being left behind.
What do you do when all your loved ones have gone
And by yourself , you must carry on.

When all hopes and dreams are dwindling away
And on your knees you fall to pray.
When...

It stares into me
That feeling of self awareness 
The thoughts that I don’t want
Reflection in the mirror 
The sorrow inside my soul
The bellowing cries of pain that gasp at the hope that is slowly dwindling away from me
My last breath of imagination of love
Slips away...
