Little by little
the sand slips between my toes
Little by little
my heart turns to stone
Little by little
stone corrodes to sand
falling between my toes
be alert and set boundaries
spend time with people who respect you
~ self confidence corrodes too easily

Her face
Corrodes in time
Leaving pieces
To flake on the surface
But deep inside her hurt face
Lies sharp shards

Rust Corrodes Our World,
Infecting While Eating Us,
Corrupting our soul.
Justice Grinding To A Halt
Love And Mercy Falls Apart.
Written for the "Rust" Contest.
How is it that greed
corrodes thus the heart
that so many are willing
to compromise thoughts of afterlife
so easily discarding aspirations
for eternal peace ?

Loneliness, a venom that corrodes
Veins with despair and emptiness
Feeling alone in a crowd
Dejection is the mood
Life seems to forget
Your existence
Dwelling in
Somber
Clouds

A mind erodes
Each day more,
Further down roads
Never been before.
A heart explodes
Early one morning,
Before life corrodes,
Left without warning.
There’s no choice
How we go.
Remember to rejoice,
You never know.
When heartbeats race, it could be love.
Loves lonely heart yearns for romance.
Romance with secrets, loves heartbroken.
Heartbroken love dies with mistrust.
Mistrust like rust corrodes two lonely hearts.

State that corrodes as acid the veins
Enters slowly to soul and heart
Hiding the deep emptiness
Felt through many decades
Buried and realived
Feeling alone
Unknowing
Future
Time

As anguish nests
as anguish nests deep
and corrodes
heart constantly bleeds...

A kiss corrodes on the statue’s lips,
Frozen for centuries,
A tear made of marble softly slips
Downward. But no one sees.
The tourists walk past, indifferent.
Bric-a-brac, they ignore.
Erotic emotion in stone’s all spent,
Cold as the art gallery’s floor.
A true friend is like a life guard
It always watches your back
A false friend is like a rust
It corrodes you from the crust
Be wise then in choosing
The people you'll call as such
For many are not worth keeping
They're as tricky as dust

Mere repetition
With no meaning
As though romantically
Went on mechanically
It seems to be better than
A hypocritical canon
Wherein love corrodes
An atom bomb of lies explodes.
We no longer need this.
What remains is a mere kiss.
Why should the same jail-like cell
Continue like hell.
The man said "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"
and he was so correct in that regard
Flee from fear!
for fear corrodes the inner spirit
Face the world with an iron resolution
Taste the songs you once knew!
Do you really that that fear will destroy you?
Well - it will !
BUT ONLY IF YOU LET IT
Disgust corrodes my soul
my weakness turned to strength
I will leave you hurting
face down in the dirt
fukk your prejudices
my middle finger raised
these expressions of hate
I am taking back all that is mine
all that you have taken from me
die quietly
your flesh bleeds the sorrows of your soul
my will is strong
Trickle of red on carpet blue.
A journey of love lost, a stain of loving you.
Watch the river flow to a place unknown
In the fading light see the power of love unfold
Trickle of red, no more fears can be fed
As the movement over surface grows
The story of our love corrodes
The memory of our life echoes
In the silent dark of our sorrows.
Twilight hours brought devil remarks
Evil sleeps within the pumpkins
What terror comes forth and embarks
When the fierce nature of one’s sins
Corrodes the fabric of times skins
Screams are displayed, a tale of hate
Having pains which you can’t relate
Symbols of horror shown forward
Death breathing on you it’s your fate
Shows Halloween’s presence inward
Russell Sivey
So tell me a tale
Make it a grand sale
Tell me a story
But make it happy
There's just too much tears
That corrodes my cheer
So please tell me now
The why that strings hows
All I want to hear
Is poise in good cheer
I know too much fear
That strangles me here
Crowd your crisp telling
With happy endings

Hamlet Place, ACT
LIMITLESS
her boundaries
are not
confined
there are no
off limits or
restrictions
that bind
allures ensnare
like
decoys
they entice
baited men
drawing them
into her
vice
how true the star
pearl
of sand and
fleeting foam
how true
when reality
comes in to
land
try to disguise
hurt
and laugh as
guilt corrodes
tears can
never wash
away filth and
dirt
whose agony
is worse
yours
or
mine?
what, ho! what ho!
its time to go?
out in the snow?
the chilling glow?
its far too cold!
im not too old
but chill my bones?
i say no!
the tavern is closed!
for cold winds blow!
my need for drink
will surely grow!
my will corrodes!
ill let a groan
a sip of whiskey
to warm my bones!
what ho! what ho!
my only foe!
gave me a show
and now i know!
the demon drink!
leave me alone!
sickness grows!
see you tomorrow!
Weapons of massive destruction
Disabled at the firing button.
Systems of hate shutdown.
Time warped and turned around.
Don't be surprised before your eyes
Are found. Changing color is sound.
Those of Gluttony for Glory sake,
A change of Way comes to take.
The sound is indiscriminate.
Shutdown of weapons imitate.
This includes your tongue.
Envy corrodes the fun.
Greed is a worthless One.
New logs are under construction....
Form:
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 my engine
corrodes away a heart that
deserves to be at peace
so please exorcise me with shock
i felt you’d never want to leave
hate,
cruel
acid that
corrodes the soul
and turns it as black as coal if carried
too long in one's heart; hate can be unlearned,
driven out with...
love should it
consume
thee
I never overcame your departure brothers
since then
my feet walk crippled
the kidney only filters half of the residues
my heart partially collapsed
and beats insufficiently
the gastric juice became acid
and corrodes the sweetness of dreams
the bronchial airways are carbonized
and emit a roaring echo
the neurons lost
innumerable synapses
when dying necrotic
but here I am with my soul
regenerating light
so that the guide with the candle
calms my rumble of jungle
