Premium Member When Wilt Thou Come
The Bible says Your coming back,
Could be at morn or noon,
Or even in the night time Lord,
Oh pray, will it be soon?

For if Your coming be at morn,
I know not if I'm ready,
And if You come at noon My Lord,
That hour is most unsteady.

And should...

Guilt Will Wilt the Sweetest Flower
Guilt will wilt the sweetest flower,
Cause the very sun to glower,
Though the skies their tears may shower.
Guilt will wilt the sweetest flower.

Shame will tame the lion's power,
Make the boldest warrior cower,
Turn the taste of triumph sour.
Guilt will wilt the sweetest flower.

For each mister, miss, or...

red passionate rose
dances, dropping wilt petals 
wan ivory keys

piano plays endless notes,
sobbing hushed old ardent tune

Premium Member Roses Wilt and Die
Banished to the point of oblivion 
     Ignored worse than a stranger
Punished for another's decision
     Nothing has resolved your anger

The plunge of a knife in my back
Bled out our light, left a space of black

I have soul-searched...

Premium Member Roses Wilt
Roses are red,
your love you say is true.
Why is it then,
I want to leave you.
You put me down
and beat me around.
Roses are red, 
your love not true.
I think I've
had enough of you....

The Dessert Flower Shalt Never Wilt Part 1
I am a man, Aryan and true.
Persian in heart, bow at hand, I stare at the skys deep wild blue.

Look upon me for I am man, barer of the earth, Risen from...

Wilt
Down the shore road
swinging sweetly, so sweetly
as the gravel flew away
Do you remember?

There came a time, dear
when the sea rose above
and away we all fell under the dying moon
I cried, I did


Those kisses pulled me deeper though
..still sweet, oh so bittersweet..

Butterflies bequeath


Down the shore road
swinging...

The darkness

In my heart

A thousand suns

Collapsing into themselves

Eaten by black holes

Pockmarked on my soul

Emitting radiant light

From the centre

The edges falling away

Lost forever to the cosmos

Is this how we will be remembered?

Mere ashes of once inspiring beauty…...

How Long Wilt Thou
How long wilt thou sleep 
and slumber, O
sluggard?
When wilth thou arise from 
thy yearn and
yawning yard?
Yet a little sleep, a little 
slowing down to
slumber,
so shall the poverty come 
like a
crushed Cucumber.

How long wilt thou bark 
and bite, O
backbiter?
When wilt thou get out of 
thy gushing
gutter?
Yet...

Wilt of the Red Rose
Pain with time begins to fade
leaving clarity in its wake
patiently beginning to comprehend
the heartache that wilted away with the twilight
like the red rose on a frosty winters night

In remembrance of the rain that once soothed a void,
distracting thoughts of hopelessness that invoked death;
yet I bend

like...

Daises Wilt In the Shadows of Eve
Daisy of the darkened night

Spirits lifted by the day

But to her dismay  

Her petals wilt

Into a tight 

Corner of deep thoughts

 

The world says she is nothing

And worthless to all

Theses words to you maybe small

But to her they crawl in her mind

And makes a...

I Hope It Dies
The thought of me that came into your mind,
It grew;
It blossomed;
You thwarted it;
Hopefully you are letting it wilt and die.

I do not want to ignite old flames.
I want to believe your words were true;
After all you said them,
But my mind acts as if it has...
