Short Dampen Poems

Falls leaves touch the wind.
End of summer dust ends.
Rain clouds in the sky and
drops of rain dampen colors....

Hammock, soft luxurious 
To touch, clouds dampen light threads  ...

The sky is crying. 
Teardrops, falling 
from skies of gray 
which once were blue,
dampen the soil, 
the grass, and the trees. 
The sky is crying, 
and my soul is too....

Pluto, tell me, why do you cry

Let your tears dampen and dry

Unless you fail the final quest

They will seem to be the best

Oh Pluto, they'll respect you in the end...

Seems like Trump's new condition
      has dampen his road to ambition
and with a foe like Pelosi,
things are not quite so rosy
        for now he must face some attrition....

Mind movies in Kodachrome
and vibrant technicolour 
set to rewind
Whenever shades of negative
monochrome
dampen the spirit
and plague the mind.

They come
These thoughts
Ride the pillows of a dream
Torture
The befuddled muse
Drift
In a silent darkness
Dampen
The pillow
With muttered
Apologies.

Forrest reigns of darkness
As I walk in the middle of the forrest
Rain calmly pours evaporates
So as I walk I confess
Dampen by the weighs of reigns of darkness

Don't stop me now something brilliant's gonna happen
A masterpiece of outstanding proportions you sure can't dampen
A master chef in the kitchen
True greatness can't be hidden 
As I prance around so stunning in my silks and satins...

Promise Rainbow - A Haiku

bright dampen rainbow
a pleasing promise flowing
because of the storm

pleasant break of day
a button, bright forgiveness
beyond the glory

A rainy day does not dampen my spirits
as I walk to the beat of the rain,
my feet feel the rhythm of the raindrops with each step, 
I am part of the rainy day parade of marchers 
who are crowned with colorful umbrellas 
which bob along the wet and busy city sidewalks....

I miss my dear friends
At Poetry soup
I’ve been on the mend
And out of the loop 

Times have been trying
As most of you know
Excessive crying
Can dampen one’s glow

Please let me back in
Despite time that’s passed
I need you, dear friends
And that’s all I ask

as soon as this latest plague is over
and the riots dampen a bit,
the gentle muse can be coaxed from  
the leper's mask and rubble,
to pick up the quill and start scribing
about frogs-flowers and fawns
or maybe It'll be inspired by a goose
that offered it's feather for the cause-...

No job No Home-Homeless - A Haiku

dampen homeless day
before mortal no job sleeps
under the no home

no place to go yet
still no place to hang his hat
has no where to sleep

except under bridge
no job no home just homeless
homeless dampen day

Because love does not adapt itself
to your needs
And needs grow too fast
like weeds
Needful love has to be pruned
and forced to draw back
So freeze your heart
and let them upon examining
find your heart cold and unfeeling
And never let anyone's kisses 
dampen the spark in your soul...

Tom, do you know “THE CUNNINGHAM NEWS” is read by one and all,
The World anxiously waiting to celebrate upon hearing about Putin’s fall,
I can understand how Ukrainian deaths will dampen Ukraine’s victory call,
But winning this war with glorious hearts, their reward, to feel ten foot tall....

Constantly is one
Contacting you is keeping alive
And loving you despite the distance
Is a gentle rain
Rapidly to dampen
Loneliness that hamper and threatens
Thus,  energizing and maintaining
Our LOVE
And repotting, therefore is for existence
And likens a life supporting device....

Sunny start, I see
Quiet day
Blue sky, turning white, gray
Frosty air, incoming
Small storm, starting over sea
With a menacing howl
Waving and a rippling

See it coming, crystal ball it
Light mix, sleet
Snow white 
With rain drops, tinkling
Dampen the ground, moist
There is the clock
Waiting...

There comes a time in everyones life, when you`ve had just enough of its stress` 
and strife.
You reach for a fag a spliff or the bottle, to dampen your senses, your nerves and 
your trouble.
But understand this before you tackle that junction, without tears without pain, we 
wouldnt properly function....

Her sojourn in the wild

Her sojourn in the wild 
Packed in her reverie
Doting the scent of love
Muffled up with old melodies and 
Few muffins to eat
Those hushed leaves made most hissing 
If ever one's heart could hear it
The breeze witnessed her traces 
The dampen soil inscribes 
She won't come home...

unfriendly leaping, 
streamline ants hides as certain 
at the wind fly flew 

to cool for the bugs
just been cold frozen winter
midst the chill insects 

stilled some die of cold
only been just a month of 
 cooling dampen spring

a friend by chance

one sits in a crowded room
hoping for friendship to bloom
ill conversation can dampen the heart
a voice of reason does his part

banter with wit and meaningful worth
a unique interface begins to birth 
the bonds of understanding transcend
the precious gift of a friend

The most brutal of storms ,
have not the courage to uproot the kindest hearts , 
.
The most violent rains ,
could soak you ,
couldn't dampen the soul .
.
And what keeps me going
 is my burning desire ,
 to live , to love, to dream,
.
As it was all left burning bright into flames,
after the strongest of  winds died out....
