society is crumbling
like sand through my fingers
it slips away...

Graced her lips
One of

And 
Washed-away love...

Leaves will fall like sloppy tears.
The loss of a rose.

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

whispers underfoot
mother where are you

Skeletal bone veins
stretching out alone
where have my children gone...

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

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

Engrave a deeper mark
Than poet’s  joys or tears....

When I peel off the old wallpaper,
and the walls come crumbling down....

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

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...

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....

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...

affection I left behind
crumbling embers
