I slowly fade away, like a candle melting under the weight of time

I slowly fade away, like a candle melting under the weight of time,
My world collapses around me like a house of cards struck by the wind,
I need an outstretched hand to help me bear the overwhelming pain,
To soothe my soul tormented by waves of sadness that drown me in silence.
I drown in an ocean of

Melting Slush

This morning’s slush is melting
From last night’s dust of snow
Which, since it wasn’t pelting,
Left little trace, although…

Some little mounds keep clinging
To surfaces of grass,
Enough for snowball flinging
Before the urge might pass.

This weather’s awfully fickle – 
It almost feels like spring,
But it’s more like a tickle,
Awaiting winter’s zing.

Still, I’m out by the river,
Just soaking up the

Melting Floating Glacier

One look at the years
The shock of floating glaciers
Melting fast my soul.

Melting Point Of Marriage

The melting point of married life:
Stay together but not talking 
No hug, no smell, no story to tell
No sweet moment, everyone is on the phone
Sleeping in opposite direction
Preparing clothes independently
Busy friendship with others
Forgetful to important family event
No friction, less feeling, no meeting
Lastly, break up!

Witness the Melting Snow

And by the pristine fallen snow 

That shimmers like stars in the night 

My heart emits a fervent glow

Brought on by this crystalline sight

For I've witnessed long Winters past

From my childhood unto this day

Like life, I knew it'd never last

Watching it slowly melt away

Melting Presence

Sun-scorched ice,
A whisper,
Trickling,
Then, 
there is liquid gold,
Leaping,
and Flower unfurling.
Wildness,
Laughter,
a new spring.

An Uncool Poem about Melting Beers

Red cones on the blacktop
August is a burning blanket.
Dusty crows perch on long dead armadillos.

The Chevys' air-con
chokes up a warm blow.
A Navaho in Ohio has phoned.
he needs to talk about his dead wife.
He will have cold beers.
I have my own beers
but go anyway.

The evening is electric and neon,
city roads growl like wounded samurai.
If I were

O, September, I feel the subtle scents of dandelion days melting into oblivion

O, September, I feel the subtle scents of dandelion days melting into oblivion,
Like spring waterfalls of delirious diamonds collapsing into the abyss of memory,
While sentimental sapphire memories flow among clouds of color-blind cruelty,
Revealing how the butterflies from the temple of fragmented armor have left my spirit
At the altar of Ares, adorned with broken wings and

Melting seduction

Her melting seduction, breath runs out of my lungs, this dungeon on my body grips tighter, yet I'm still nearing to her finer reflection.., 

Glare in her face keep trapping my courage to confront her, I look, but still come back with tattered emotions.., 

she creates so much iniquities to my sanity. One glance in

melting snow

sad children look for 
snowmen who have left no trace 
but carrot noses

Above the Melting Ice

Above the Melting Ice

Soft white skin, taut and smooth.
Insulated from the Arctic cold,
Snuggled warm in its wetsuit, he sleeps. 

Protected from predators, 
Camouflaged as a mound of snow,
Ignoring sounds of cracking and popping.

Each inhale releases, exhales,
The slightest shift in movement, 
Flippers anchored to his round form.

Slow to stir, he scratches. 
Returning to the place of

melting nights

July's
melting nights
stars dripping silver
puddles of clandestine heat
seeping into the scant cracks of summer shade
