Stabbed subterranean with a feudal dart
Crackled, corroded and combusted on every part
Heart is the only part left apart....

brown bear hibernates
snowpack seals the cavity
dark corroded space
tooth's face reconstructed
filling a vacuous hole

timid forest animals watched her burn
as white flames melted the frozen ground
and turned their world from mythical to hermitical

it was the day the splendid highlands corroded...

Though the faith 
he boasts about seems
unbreakable like iron,
it's iron cold, iron dead,

rusting away, 
corroded by bigotry 
and conceit, bloating 
his self-righteous head!...

Badly Corroded 

Ammunition used had been  badly corroded,
And when in weapon it was carefully loaded,
When gone,
Safety on;
It so sadly when used did end up exploded.

P     Pipes corroded

L     Lies, folds, and bends 

U     Under a sink

M     Mans the phones

B     Butt crack showing

E     Extracts gook and hair

R     Rodents and snakes...

Trump and Erosion Causing Corrosion

Trump's eroded causing things to be corroded;
For someone absurd like him have never voted;
Can hardly wait,
To procrastinate;
His existing intelligence is that of an invalid.

Bungalow shrouded by sorrow
Ancillary space time doth borrow
Recycled dreams in dark basement furrow
Residual memories in corroded hope chest burrow
Embezzled ambitions in fallow vault sallow
Naked soul in hollowed-out walls doth wallow...

Stop the rain, exercise your brain because you need your brain cells and it gets slippery and dangerous and too much rain gets bad and the water grows higher and higher and things grow in the water and it gets corroded and poisoned from others like feces and bacteria....

We are of a generation that 
never grew up, but which 
now has now grown old.
Our dreams of a bright
future for those who 
follow, have corroded
into a present tarnished
by dreams of avarice and 
poisoned by our emissions
as we now play hide
and seek with a virus....

Of a Pin Cushion Heart

Corroded tear ducts,
crystallized tears,
and estranged crying,
have left
a pin cushion heart
that no longer bleeds
memories of hurt.

The space left
with your leaving
still remains
but need not be filled:

I will always
have known you
and love you still....

Rust clings like memories, 
framing the world, 
a mottled lace of time—  
the window pane, 
a portal to whispers, 
yet the view is  
a watercolor dream, 
blurring edges, 
softening the harshness, 
where light dances  
through corroded veins, 
and beauty hides  
in the flawed  
and the forgotten....

Iranian Corrosion

A sense of old age, a sense of corrosion. 
All of this nasty metal, when you touch it, 
it makes a weird noise. 
You can feel it all over the city. 
Every metal object is corroded.
And in this city of metal 
even the people are corroded. 
You can feel the humidity 
getting into your body....

Saturated streets of crumbled ancient inheritance, 
Forgotten history condemned by our corroded eye,
Dresses that no longer dance, words that float without significance, 
Colors that no longer have a meaning, Culture? What Culture? You can not cherish what 
does not exist. And you can miss something you never had....

Huge waves of fore and after-play.
Sexual crests crashed 
into willing shores.
We slept snuggled together 
like puppies.

Rocking back and forth
on the top of a coastal cliff,
swaying over
a crooked front axle -
risky for an old Austin Mini,
with a corroded floor.

Memory rusts,
yet it was us
for a while....

Never in my wildest
So much emotion throughout the morning..afternoon..evening
You taught me to break down walls I could not see
My apprehension corroded our evolution of life
Even as we gave life I was blinded
By selfishness I looked at you with hatred
Could this be it?
What to call it other than True Love...

A season for the homes dire
Crooked are the places sure
The dry empty street about
All the hard parts shown

The fabric of the aisle-way
Corroded by the ripe plants
Flowers expressed to their hilt
Obscure is the path 

Where perfection isn’t primary
The lights beckon to bring in
The horrid pieces of life
No house asunder

Here from the womb of a grave rose a carcass 
Stabbed subterranean with a feudal dart
Crackled, corroded and combusted on every part
Heart seems to be sizzled and left apart.

All mighty above started crying in the clouds 
Tears geared up the grimness and went gloomy 
Smiles sacrificed their superiority, 
saluted that venerated veteran of aspiring life....
