Escaped as a soft whisper
Lost in the dark night
Ending a tortuous past
Closing forever cycles

cold feet long for spring. . .
ice cycles fall stabbing snow
where asters will bloom

Premium Member Irregular

Bad tendency of a bad-habit hobby to get so high,
I find myself overthinking things daily, losing track of time,
To the point my body cycles so irregularly.

Dance at your own pace
Flowing with the rhythms that life
Presents as cycles
By assuming a posture
Evolving in a new self

Cycles of the Soul

Wilted leaves leave fall

                                       frost bitten in decayed states

                                          flowers must bloom soon
Form: Haiku

Premium Member A Lesson In Humility

Listen to poem:
the whirl 
of cycles
makes
the world
go round
    evolution
    banks on it
we masked humans
now feeling the brunt
of karmic wrath

eye at the center
friend to chaos
cycles spinning
round space time
roadhouse corner
eatery and saloon
two eggs easy over
toast and coffee please

Warp and Woof of Universe

I
life's tapestry:
neat surface - chaos below -
not Chinese needlepoint

II
in - out; on - off
life, death, light, dark, cycles:
universal tapestry

Though I only focus on shades of aquas, greens, purples,
I am a witness of the wider spiraling spectrums
Of wheels of colours, karmic cycles, and ancient human natures.

Premium Member Half Past Summer, Two Months Till Fall

Twigs and dried leaves talk timeless tales cuddling together.
Parrot pandemonium camouflage under fading flowers
I've witnessed seasonal cycles. Is the deep calling me?
Form: Sijo

Premium Member ever wonder

Was the sun the catalyst
For altered pigments
Narrowed eyes

Genetics
Moving through the cycles
Of nature’s perfection

The moon a silence
Rocking us all to sleep

Living All Advents

Of water,
the drought
  and the dust... and
From loneliness...
i perceive the color
by heart...
Cycles
of bitterness
and pain,
that dries and
fulfill my
inner
world...!

Windmills of wanderlust 
hope cycles of reunion
across the sky
wide and far
Resolution, Patience, Homecoming 
signs of the seasons
holding us forgiven 
another chance at Love

Premium Member I Know Life's Unfair

I know how the cycles of life, death, and rebirth can be unfair.
I know how it used to feel like they never showed they care.
I know how it feels when nobody at all wants to share.

slamming shut the door again reverberating in my heart again splintering all my love again locking the front door again opening to my forgiveness again

Premium Member Memory -- Tree


Along life's cycles grew my rundown tree

 It's roots charting young love that drained away;

Where branches limp no longer fancy-free 

To wane against past ardent summer day.

Premium Member Late Hours - My Words Act-Septum

time be fractal cycles...us...

be not perfect time-form knots...

pi, phi, animals and trees...

be endless time-forms...constants...

self-correcting...change...called now

cycles continue
victims, weaker or smaller
bullies..born or made?
