From dead wood, a red hot fire

  Hasn’t decayed.
Worms wouldn’t touch him:
  Below food grade....

Skull and Bones
The skeleton waits
Left some time by a killer
Rotting and decayed
Crying loudly as a ghost
Who will avenge my murder?...

Naked Grain of Love
tunnels of silence
abandoned decayed
naked grain of
love
splendour of roots
purple grapes
seedless
turquoise green
abundance
of hope...

Decayed Installment
opposite sexes
in front of a decayed installment
there were two figures

one observer
posing in front of the installment
they were semi-naked...

Premium Member I Found a Lovely Button
I found a lovely button
put it in a lovely clay pot with good soil
and watered it religiously each day

with time and love 
it decayed 
and rotted away...

Cycles of the Soul
Wilted leaves leave fall

                                       frost bitten in decayed states

                                          flowers must bloom soon...

Salvation
In the mirror She sees
  a heap of decayed images in fire,
Smoke cladding her soul
 her pulse in hibernation
  ... a delusion?
  ... or the quest for liberation!...

I Have Become Ash
I have become ash
Decayed for decades
What happened?
To my lithe thoughts
And deft digits

That could churn
Heaviness into brevity
And paltry pursuits
Into wee nuances...

Premium Member In Strangler's Wood - Tanka Version
At a dead man’s throat lies the rain drenched woolen scarf that stifled his screams. Cold Winds howl through decayed trees - witnesses in the shadows.

pressed flowers, held dear of someone lost
turned crisp
between yellowed pages
which have begun to stick
once beautiful
now decayed and lost once more

Decayed Flowers
Flowers were seen covering the tree yesterday, 
Today they have fallen into the pond in decay.
The hard blow of the east wind is not to blame,
Blooming and withering are naturally the same.

Fallen Flower
The setting sun is blocked by the parting grief,
Yet, I’m glad to head for remote world in relief.
As decayed fallen flowers are not ruthless stuff,
They turn into earth to make darling buds tough.

Seemingly slight brocade shawl.
Beseechingly glance, decayed hall.
Haunted trance, unafraid fall.
Vaunted skies evade all.
She tries dissuade call.
Decree daylight, unmade, befall....

Society
How does a healthy rose with grown thorns
Take the time out of their day
To degrade a decayed rose without any thorns 
For having to grow up in poisoned soil
That the planter so willingly decided to bury them in?...

A Conflict Within
Low and lonely, but not to succumb
Through warring thoughts a pitfall deep
Ireful, rueful, contort
This speaker’s blunder deemed

Subdued with met solution
Devil’s plot decayed
Ruinous intent aborted 
Blithe courage keenly resumed...

A Beggar's Soul
On a corner one day
And another the next
I pay a high price 
Just to be in debt
As awnings sway
And angels pray
Keep me safe another day
I owe you not now or then
But my pain is forgotten
Your spoils displayed
Decayed and rotten....

*3 haikus*

I am enjoying
this dull time - this decayed life
of extinguished hopes

Each sublime sunrise
finds my morning mind childishly
wishing for freedom

If wishes had power
If young tears were a vaccine
If our thoughts mattered...
