Goodbye my favorite forever
Eternal fragments lost in abstract soup de jour
Our handshakes full of tremors
When the memories rain it's sore
My heart in freefall, falling up and out, forever's too soon
The paragraph on the backs of pictures stabs the point home
Skeletal strangers with nothing left to prove
The distance signals in real time leaving the breadcrumbs of
jarred hearts, painted candied hearts and Pacman ghosts in slow pursuit
The light of pumpkin eyes, rhymical in pursuit of boyish daydreams
Girlish looks of starving hearts depreciated, are less than pennies now
Parting words circled in funny papers still shaking with regret
When you see me in the folded memories
Just know you're not alone
Your light smiling on in the hollows of my eyes
Smiling in hindsight begging you to come home
Begging me to be brave
Goodbye my favorite forever
You're my long way out
In fading and in passing
Set me a long way down
A Hearing Chased
By Frank Daub
When Affirmation is sought by pen,
then
Appreciative voices ought
To be accumulated -- by thoughtful
listening.
But approval is hard to come by.
Putting words in the proper space
Eradicates the message
Of the sender’s assumed face.
Once read, appreciated --
then turned leaden.
The sender tries another voice.
Stillness, thoughts depreciated.
Not by sender’s choice.
Watch for the claws – beware
A pause
Of trying.
It would be better --
A silence kept –
A message fading, then dying.

With the fragments of my abandon
she glued them in a cup
even so depreciated,
thus every day in this life
she embraces me... !
Are you loving an ever-changing me?
Or are you loving an idea?
Or do you love what cannot be?
Or do you love in fear?
What is love?
You know a past, you struggle a present and know not a future
An invented word for proven worth
To be masters of old yet new an amateur
I have seen how the world change
I have seen how love don’t accord
I have seen how stubborn the world remain
How much shorter can a life afford?
The word love has depreciated
It’s no more then just a value of living
Because we are all dedicated
And tired of serving
Is there someone you hear?
A loving someone perhaps to be...
There was an idea
Can you yet love a changed me?

Lead me home,
Away from these fires
And compromises of dreams inside,
Still existing, slowly deteriorating
Make no mention across
The boardroom desk of a
Yearning heart. Bad form.
Bloody up the forecast.
Wipe clean the plate
For the next green leathered occupier
To present their return on no investment.
Earnings after taxes, depreciated.
With composed discharge,
Diminish the minions.
Walk away from the policy
And procedure of souls seeking comfort
With tiny voices,
Terminate and restructure, build and repurpose
In a careful edit.
Blind copy coconspirators, then press send.
Feed the lion the monthly meat
And while he gorges, hunt for more.
Until you are served up.
From the back of a woman’s mind
A thought creeps, peeps and slips
Meandering through layers of blind rind
Summersaulting to scan sweeps
Teeming with spaces in vessels
Where the thought investigates
Which epistles and whistles
Blow hot in the vicinity of gates
Hermetically closed
Shut so tight
The thought wonders who disclosed
Innermost secrets to delight
Ears and eyes that
Pry with neither repose nor pause
In their flat
Moves designed with no gauze
In sight as the thought
Snaps to attention
Peering left and right although caught
Up in a distraction direction
That tells the thought the coast
Is clear to proceed
To a toast
For the feed and seed
Unbeloved
Unappreciated
In a myriad of pesky problems unsolved
In love lozenges emaciated and depreciated.
March against the rule of guns
March in favour of human life in tonnes
Inscribed in the Book of Life
Although lobbyists promote societal strife.
March against the insensitivity of politicians
Bought by lobbyists, propped up by machinegun magicians
Whose pockets swell with bucks to buy turncoats
Ingratiated and depreciated to wear shame coats.
March for students’ lives
Dignified by educational drives
Ordained from on high to run Uncle Sam’ economic wheels
Despite the passage for umpteenth time of pro-gun bills.
March for human lives with conscience
Although voting for gun control laws hurts your election chance
Diminished but not extinguished by pro-gun lobbyists
Who in anger would put your name on their black lists.
Today I felt My Last love
I was in the 19th of my life
All good still all alone
Depreciated of all the care love and care
I rose my head and stared
With the welcome winds she came
Sweetness of millions of roses
All starcted into that single moment
Like a dream she came
Blewing up my mind with her cold flames
My heart beats stopped
Unseen Marks of burns
Magic or what god knows
........Divine beauty she was.....
With a Sweet smile on
All my senses switched off
The Aura of cutness
As divine as an Angel
But as i open my eyes
two things surround me
tears,
And her empty frames
And now as i have lost it
..................She was , She is , She will be
..................Has to be my last love
..................A love with unwritten chapters
..................Gulity I am for this all
..................Under matured decisions to blame
..................Now I Miss 1st letter of each line of my last love
Like a gold coin, never gilded,
I once was a valued asset,
In good currency, well traded;
But now with a down-sliding fate,
I’m but a loose change, rotated,
Rated below the face value,
Close to expiry and dated,
Whose pedigree’s no royal blue.
And what’s more, depreciated at
Value on a-written-down rate,
Yet, is not antique an asset?
Old is gold, no vain whim of pen,
And though facing an exit gate,
Not as if I’m a dung-hill hen!

-Ravi Murnad,INDIA
It began at the top,
Slowly ,steadily and truly,quite not perceptibly,
The depreciation in matter,
Human matter at that,
Does it with all,age spares none,
Bones,muscles,blood,veins,arteries,parts,
All weaken and function less,
But can you weaken the bond,
Mental,emotional and love bonds,
That got hinged to one and all in family,
And immediate society at large,
It happened with me one day,
That my mother depreciated real bad,
The day she collapsed,
Physical I could explain,
But mental and emotional I could not,
The root had shrunk to dust,
But the offshoot was now a full tree,
Going to its own death.
