Premium Member I wander through the rust of twilight, carrying your name like a bell
I wander through the rust of twilight, carrying your name like a bell melted in a still-throbbing heart I don't know if I love you or if my pupils just shine under your uncertain and fragile spell Thoughts flow like glass birds, colliding, shattering, and piecing back together on the retina in a spiral Sometimes I hide my...

Rust and Steel
Caught in the shadow of rust and steel. I've forgotten my pain but can't seem to feel. The ground is cold and swallows me whole. The sun has gone away and taken my soul. I look to the past and hunt for the light. The wind rushes by and kills me with its bite. The gray and sorrow are too...

Premium Member Maybe We Can Use Electrolysis Instead of Immolation
to free this specter from its host caught in a body like bear trap a house made of arms that can't let go my hearth’s flame is selfish, unwilling to part with smoke without separation i will choke at the memory of a pleasant smog sewn into the wrists of silver tinged fingers there is rust in my bloodstream the wear and tear of...

Rust
RUST I am iron and so strong An age named after me From ore I am extracted Forged then beaten hard Melted and well tempered Into long bladed weapons Or more mundane items Claiming a successful role In mankind’s development Used in major construction Bridges, chains and towers Yet, with age and exposed After years in the sultry air I gain a dull reddish layer As oxygen and I are...

Trust
How many men can you trust And over time it won’t rust: In their presence drop money And nothing of the funny? Mention a killer disease And they won’t the stuff release: From them ask and receive loan And they would leave you alone, Not soon try your line on phone And their new calls a stretched moan? How many blokes might you trust And to...

Premium Member Sun Dried Rain
Sun-Dried Rain David J Walker Following the path of Southwest winds Carving canyons Starving clouds and land alike Making sand of topsoil As pilgrims pray for rain staking a claim in blowing dust In bilingual refrains of long missed moisture and drying rust Sun-dried children cleansed and swaying on backyard clothes lines dying for a drop of Sun-Dried rain Who will be...

Premium Member No Apologies
She came dressed in the finest of green To tell the story of a mighty Queen Who once lived in the hills and vales Of a distant land; Where robust rivers once flowed And game was plenty. Where children once Played on grassy knolls And swam in pristine pools. Where songbirds sang in sweet refrains, And eagles soared over bountiful plains. She painted a scene...

Russet and Rust In October
Damp campfires burn mouse bones, their sooty ghosts flavor the tattered. The trees that don't turn, stay hung on a scaffold drab and dreaming. Grey ribbons hang from pall-bearing branches. Smoky hollows wallow, leafage languor’s in the smolder, colors run in the reek. The earth hugs its litter, pulls it under to chew on itself....

Premium Member Beginning To Rust
I cannot worry about 2082, or even 2032, I cannot figure out in 2021 what I can do To make the changes this old world needs How to overcome humanity’s foul deeds. I’d like to make the world a better place, But we’re already fouling outer space. I certainly cannot change the climate here, Or do what’s necessary to save reindeer. I am...
