Here I am.
Everywhere we were.
Capillaries fill with her,
rotting roots beneath trees,
feeding truth in buried leaves.
Why does splendor gray
Why does the flower fade
Once a fair maiden
Now an old maid
Beauty's virtue lies not in decay
Somewhere
When you decided to go
And, if you there still
Everyone,everything beginning to die
you too,
with they, to decay...
Form trembles my mind
all matter fads to decay
Empty sense objects
void, hollow, insubstantial
breathes mental impermanence
When sounds of beauty do decay.
Each cadence softly fades away.
Their echoes finally replay.

Cracked dusky humid industrial decay
Perched crows survive death of abandoned Chevrolet
A testament of humanity’s constant change
fir tree
pine cone cluster
squirrels gather
ripe apples
decay on ground
wasp paradise
spring
change of color
rabbits fur
I am all subject to decay
For I am but clay.
Subdued by death,
I return to the earth.
I am a conscript;
A divine script
On time's throne.
Form:
rubble of social dysfunction
spilled from the lip of time
shards of humanity’s decay
sleep in layered mounds
beneath eternity’s cold moraine
a flower's momentum
never interrupts the observer
both exist in prolonged beauty
only the distracted and distant
note disruption of decay
Tangled seaweed shore
sharp in salt and sweet decay
Crab claws still clenched shut
in defense of losing prey
Sun, to bleach, is on it's way...
In battle little boys frantic
Shared their quotes with the Atlantic
So we can all note
About death they’d gloat
And Signal decay gigantic
The decay of corpses is my domain
Abandoned in the dread mountain region
Unrestrainable through fetter and chain
My bread mouldy but my spirit Legion
perfume of your kiss still lingers,
in decay of dreams!

Do as I do...
Who never knew
My wings that flew
Spiraled to you.
Sunlight the day...
With winter's ray
Frostbite thy lips
Til deaths decay.
Through the mists they land
Carried by darkened wings, spread
Sensing, they await
Suspended death in decay
Inhumanities now shared
.
The Red Beret
Molding faith
Holding the mystery
Its breath
Its weight
Bouquet
Decline

Darkness of the night
Darkness of soul
Demons abroad
Devils roam
Dark dreams
Dread.
Deterioration
Despoliation
Degradation
Destruction
Decay
Death
It’s Donut Day in the USA
Forget the dieting for today
Sugary and sweet
And rough on one’s teeth
For just one day don’t fret o’er decay.
surrounded by trees
a trailer lies in decay
the front door tugged by the wind
a home left behind
littered with animal waste
shadows seep from doors ajar
both, the ripening fruit and the withering leaf
at the ordained time fall off from the tree
former in fulfilment, latter in decay
which oh hermit, will we be
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
a wise man once said.
Alas, the beholder of beauty is dead, gone away.
The internet killed him and left him to decay.
Time And Ghostly Shadows
rock fence in decay
lost shepherds and green meadows
old cars on freeways

Haiku
You expect progress,
and you,
understanding,
and I just pray,
that I'm never caught planning,
any life... into an early grave.
Let's not decay,
Let's not decay.
Mortality
this vessel that
surrounds me
funny
I should grow to love it
just in time
to witness its decay
better late than never
I'm sure the sage would say.
