Best Slipping Away Poems

I call to mind our nights till dawn
Watching the sunrise
Beautiful was that ocean of gold sky
We looked into each others eyes with love

Our future was a lovely rose unfolding
We had many wonderful dreams
Our life's had no shadows just open roads
And in dreams you exist

So sad
This...

Do not lose hope;  I’m coming home to you.
although you’re far away, I swear I hear
the desperation in your song so blue.
And in the dark, I see your face appear.

It’s just as if I’d never left your side.
Do not lose hope; I’m coming home...

>center>Sadly I sensed his heart slipping away.
Head on my pillow,
I dwelled in a dreamscape of denial,
muffling all thoughts of losing him
until I woke in my bed alone.

Draping across my shoulders
the old sweater he’d left behind,
his scent provided comfort.
But then I paused and realized
I was still...

I can feel
you slipping away
into the chaotic world 
you are surrounded by instability
dyeing your character in grey matter
which shows in the inconsistency
one idea popping in, another image popping up
a long winding path with slopes and potholes

I can feel
you (almost) giving up
through countless disappointments
you are let...

moments fray and shred  
          tomorrow folds today; time’s teeth – rounded 
                memories meld a transcendent balm

Anxious and afraid I’ll run out of time
Betrayed so by illusions I held dear
Concerned with life’s approaching finish line
Disappointed deeply with my shortcomings
Envious secretly of other’s accomplishments
Forgiving towards myself never been my forte
Guilt I can’t manage with a mere 24-hour day
Helpless feelings linger and are...

The first days of the much-awaited spring
Arrive on time along with birds and flowers.
Then come the balmy days of May and June
When love and laughter fill the warming hours.
I watch the hot July days slide away,
See summer slipping down the calendar.
The sun will shine in...

They gather there most every morn
The retirees at the coffee shop
To discus events and each others ills
Politics and the new traffic stop

It is a highlight of their day
To greet each other as they dine
And so it's easy to take for granted
They're always there,- rain or...

Mass genocide of our free minds
society is crumbling
like sand through my fingers
it slips away...

Oh.. how selfish you are
 Have you send all your promises
 Down the drain
 The day you put a gold band in my finger
 Do you remember?
 I remember, how you said you love me

 Oh… don’t you love us anymore 
 We are frighten...

She sits and plays her computer games
Sometimes she does not remember names
Of the people she plays with every day
A little at a time her memory slips away
Cannot remember what she did yesterday
As she slips further into her mind
She leaves all her memory behind
And she knows...

Life’s elusive beauty slips
But slips not quite away.

When there is nothing to hold on to on
This slate grey day when every voice is muffled
With nothing to say

When nothing is of substance all
Lines blurred in the wet and the
Moisture tastes of regret

And the only desire is...

Go to sleep my darling
Close your eyes my precious
Let the problems of the day
Slip far far away

Fall into a deep slumber
In the pleasure of darkness
Be comfortable for my sake
While I wait for the promise of daybreak

Get away to your fantasy
Sunshine and love everywhere
Forget the emptiness...

Late August evening’s high
   the sun set easing in deep and low
   loitering and hanging in the north western sky
   barely giving light to the world below.
A mix of orangey reds drifting further down
   trailing below the...

daily I take photographs
of kitchen messes and 
living room piles
papers books, vegetables, boxes
shadows light
outside
heads bent to work and raised to pray
all of this
slipping away...
