Fading Poems - Poems about Fading

Written: May 26, 2025, for contest by Joseph May ****************** In the silk-laced dusk, angels softly dwell, Love and grief entwine, weaving stories to tell. Two souls once weaved, etched in fading light, Now torn apart as shadows meet at night. In this katabatic abyss, I...

Ignorance is a rhyme without a soul, an art fading into slow oblivion, like fallen tulips swirling through captive rays of a weary sun, amidst hot sighs tearing through the deafening silence of the evening, and they are more than the burning thorns of a phoenix rose moon, infused in scarlet elixirs of an enchanted dusk weaving its silent...

What would You do, O Father, tell, If I should fade like fleeting mist? Would heaven break, would heavens swell, Or would my absence not exist? Would You still light the morning bright, When I no longer watch the skies? Or let the dawn dissolve in night, A silent tear in hollow eyes? Would You still call my name once more, When all my...

In the cheer chat, where joy should unite, A ten-year-old girl causes drama day and night She calls me a brat, a jerk, selfish and ugly too, But she's the one acting out, it's true. She says she wants to push me off a cliff, Her words so harsh, they make my spirit stiff. As I debate my life's worth, feeling...

Out of the mist of silence, strangers emerge, slowly fading into the midday light their steps rustle petals, and the flower-filled street stirs like an old dream. I let my thoughts drift, white, like a fluff of feather among tender shadows, I hear how the voices of passersby become the scent of apricots – then oblivion erases them. A...

I saw the signs, but I was in denial I comforted myself, saying, "You would never do that," as I continued to address my ghosts But the weight was too much to carry I saw you disappear at the horizon, like the stars slowly fading into daylight I knew I wasn’t right for you, but all I wanted was simple affection My heart is too...

they sit by windows streaked with time watching days dissolve to gray their voices, once a steady chime, now whispers none will hear or stay names they spoke with love and pride have softened into air and dust letters sent, unanswered, dried memories fading, left to rust the hallway hums with hollow sound a clock that ticks but never calls footsteps pass, but none are...

As months go by, swiftly they pass, Only to a grinding halt they would come to. Unearthing a nasty truth, buried under the dirt and grass, A heart to be held together by sheer hope. A heart so scarred, yet covered in a veil of brightness, Bright like the sun it was, shining so bright, All former traumas became buried...

She's a ****, she's not loyal. I told her; you're only good for sex, Not good to keep. Don't let your beauty, leave you in deceit You ain't getting younger, but older. I ask her about Her body counts. She said, Just thirty plus. Thirty plus, still not taken? You gotta change your mentality, Or remain a sex tool or sex partner forever. She's always...
