strong hillside grape vines
walled cities slowly crumbling
winemakers craft endures

Terracotta

Bits of our hearts~
Given with ease~
The terracotta~
Crumbling and unwanted~
Chained gates~
No fashioned keys~

And We Both Know Hearts Can Change

November will cry,
Leaves will fall like sloppy tears.
The loss of a rose.
Yet there are more awaiting,
Crumbling in that dark garden.

Win Tear

crumbling amber papyrus
whispers underfoot
mother where are you

Skeletal bone veins
stretching out alone
where have my children gone

Premium Member Moon Warning

The sky warmly hugs the stars from the weeping moon, as the moon
fearfully watches the world slowly crumbling, warning of impending doom.

slaving away
     making waves
              pushing
ebb and   flow
      crumbling on
               the shoreline
under the moonlight

Ashes

My heart burns
Like a house on fire
So hot, and out of control
As it falls to the ground
Crumbling, and leaving nothing but ashes

Hat

Hold me tight
I'm falling apart
my brain is crumbling
so is my heart
on top of my head
there is a hat
and on my face
a mask.

Rubble

The hand of Art writes small
Across the crumbling wall
Of human years:
But bullets’ burst and spark
Engrave a deeper mark
Than poet’s  joys or tears.

Premium Member Sterile Love


Unhappily trapped
In a crumbling relationship...
The love that kept them intact
Through highs and lows
Eroded by doubts.

Memory

Memory is reality,
is what I find,
plastered to the cracked back walls
of my soul.
When I peel off the old wallpaper,
and the walls come crumbling down.

Canvas Bound

A canvas world beckons,
but colors do not live
nor paint, breathe.
Gilded frames hide
a crumbling world,
like a happy scene 
in a tragedy by Shakespeare.

Cemetery Stones

I wander down the lane
Granite,
Cool beneath my fingertips,
Row upon eerie row.
I trace the long forgotten names,
The crumbling stones,
Time has tried to erase

Premium Member TOWERS



                  this date towers fell
       for some that day became Hell
                   crumbling memory

Death

Death in his haunting lies,
Everything he's destroyed,
All my wishes crumbling,
Tension building everywhere,
Haunting visions of Death as he rides the world to doom.

Pail

It’s D-day for my life
What else is there to say
Everything is crumbling
Breaking apart

I am a pail of empty tears
Full of holes
Full of holes
Rusted into pieces

Out of Time

Running, meeting the edge of the world,
Time crumbling beneath my soles.

                                      the crumbling stardust
                               caged nightingale does not sing -

It 's Time

It 's time !
To crack you !
Erected yesterday - I'm crumbling porcelain .
The surface of the statue shimmers 
in supplications ,
But my hand is already drowning 
in sacrificial flowers.
