Inflicts instant inherit intrustion 
Beckoning beast, begging beneath 
Decaying defenseless delusion....

Willow tree leaning, hunched
Weeping leaves into steams skipping
Over stones and decaying twigs.

Ships that pass unseeing
In the shade....

I saw a dead tree
    decaying on the forest 
feeding mother earth
    to rejuvenate itself 
while I stood in wonderment...

Tomorrow morning,
Laugh at the timeless array
Of cobweb patterns woven 
Amongst un-noticed decaying hope...
It's life!

Canary
A silent canary
that had died 
slowly decaying inside
unsure if they can fly
not much time left
lost and alone
with no one to help
it dies silently....

Europe 
That sad decaying corpse 
Of western civilisation 
In the final throes 
Of cultural suicide...

Relativity
My mind is straying towards 
A staircase of the unknown
One vibrant as relativity 
And puzzling
For realities perception
Is fading on my thoughts
Like staircases

Tumbling through my mind a decaying leaf of brown demise
inclinations of transition afire with each moment passing
turning in dance a warm touch of a much awaited season...

Endearment
My bones corrode
From the acidity of your endearment.
Stay away.
Keep your distance.
I am already decaying
From the affliction
Of all the tenderness I carry
For you....
