Echoes of Fading Light

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 so low,
She tells me to end it, her cruelty on show.

I cry for hours, feeling so torn,
But then my bestie, she keeps me warm.
She tells me to stay, to stand strong and tall,
With her love and support, I won't fall.

I'll rise above her hurtful game,
And find my strength, reclaim my name.
For with true friends by my side,
I'll face the storm and turn the tide.

             ********

We built a divine jewel, a flame in the mist, 
But not every fire is destined to persist.
No vows etched in stone, no oaths to renew—
Just the gentle whisper of a love we outgrew.
So speak my name softly, then let it fade—  
Not every farewell needs a curtain shade.

Premium MemberMy beauty is fading

My beauty isn’t what it appears to be.  
Look into my eyes and see—  
There’s love, mystery, and more.  
“What’s mine” and “what’s ours” are different.  

I prefer coffee; you prefer tea.  
The heart knows what it wants,  
It seeks connection, not heart surgery.  

Love, trust, surrender, and peace come in that order.  
Love can be confusing and can take away.  
Look into my eyes, like a stormy sea revealing 
Secrets beneath the waves,
Love, will surrender, and peace will  follow

Premium MemberEmbers of a Fading Love

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 forever fell.

My love, an ember that once burnt bright,
Extinguished by the skimpy hands of night.
Leaving ashes scattered, a spirit grown cold,
A heart dimmed and weary, a love gotten old.
In this hollow space, I strive to be bold.

"The darkened sky stole my tears."
In stillness, I hear your whispering fears
An echo of what was, and that we've lost,
A passion that has faded, a soul that’s frost.
In my lonesome reverie, I weigh the cost.

Premium MemberO Father, Tell

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 paint the dawn with fire,
Though I no longer walk the day?
Would You keep faith when hopes expire,
Or let the light just slip away?

Would You still whisper my lost name,
When silence wraps my voice in stone?
Or leave me buried in the flame,
Alone, forgotten and unknown?

Would You still hold the earth so wide,
If none remained to see its face?
Would it dissolve, a drifting tide,
A dream dissolved without a place?

Would You still wait, with patient heart,
For one who’s vanished from Your sight?
Or fall apart and fall apart,
And sink into the endless night?

What are You when the prayers are done,
When holy walls begin to fall?
Does silence hide the holy One,
Or answer every broken call?

Or am I freed, by death’s embrace,
The spark that draws You close to me?
And if You fade with my last grace—
Did love exist? Or none to see?

Fading Stars

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 fragile
and continues to face heartbreak
in the adversity of time

I promised myself I would not, I shall not, write about you
But it is my pen that never stopped missing you

Fading Voices

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 found
that stop beyond these silent walls

once, they held the world so near
cradled hands and wiped away fears
now they wait, year after year
forgotten ghosts of golden years

Fading Hours

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 in a nocturnal sleep,
Only when trust rears its head, problems ignite,
Fearing abandonment from connections so deep.
Cutting ties, alleviating this fear, yet no change deep within,
Only fading relationships as I now count days and hours.
Now as time goes by, my mind begins to spin,
Creating false narratives to keep from going sour.
As we begin to fade away with scattered connection, a shade,
Now manifesting a lingering dread of your new masquerade.

The Fading Colors

they say, "you're acting all lost",
and i say, "i know!"

every flower field i pass by
turns to gray, and their leaves fall down
the flowers appear as if they're not watered,
everything i touch becomes sick

their colors start to fade away,
my loneliness is making it hard
to see the world without an obscured view
i'm always sorry for my behavior,

i try to love it here,
but the truth is, i don't wan't to stay

Fading






                                               No more
                                        love from the soul
                                    'cause we focus on gold
                               No lap time with the little ones,
                                    So they become lost ones
                                          in a cold world,
                                                  dying

Premium MemberVibrant in fading light

Body ages but spirit remains young
Animating vibrance of childhood years
Now free from desires and also from fears
We’ve become the sage about whom we sung

We do admit we are somewhat senile
Forgetfulness having become the norm
Yet with the lamp of love lit, heart is warm
Our soul stands erect, walking life’s last mile

Our attitude is embrace and release
By day and night we sing for God an ode
Thoughts have receded, heart is our abode
We now flow through life with nonchalant ease

Fading

Our affection was once a radiant blaze, now fading
The warmth that ignited our souls is now fading  
The moments we cherished have become echoes, fading 
The joy we once knew has turned to whispers, fading  

Our dialogues have become clumsy, fading  
The silence stretching between us grows heavier, fading 
The bond we once cherished is fraying, fading 
Our hearts pulse to a rhythm of their own, fading 

We grasp desperately, but it's eluding, fading 
The love we nurtured is gradually vanishing, fading  
Our connection is fading, and I’m fading
Into the shadows of our once-vibrant past, fading

Fading Echoes

Once, my foolish words would spark a smile,  
Every empty tale was precious for a while.  
She’d listen, laugh at my nonsense lines,  
Like they held secrets or hidden signs.  

But now, even “hello” feels like weight,  
A sigh meets my words as if it’s too late.  
Gone are the chuckles, the gleaming eyes,  
Now just “hmm” sits between us and sighs.  

I miss the days of simple grace,  
When silence was rare in that loving space.  
Yet here I am, with all these words,  
Silent echoes now left unheard.

Forever In The Fading Lights

As the sun dipped in to the ocean
    The sky's warm glow enveloped us 
    Hand in hand, we strolled along the shore 
    Savoring the rich flavor of shared hot chocolate.

     Under the starry canvas, your lips brushed against my 
      forehead, sending shivers down my spine.
     I rested  my head on your shoulder, feeling the magic of          
       the moment.

      Time stood still as our hearts beat as one 
        The world fading in to the gentle lapping of waves 
        and the infinite twinkling above.
