Embracing an empath's emotion
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

Updating James Shirley

'Scepter and Crown
must tumble down.'
wrote a poet of a long past day. 
For want of renewal,
must so many a school
not tumble but crumble away.

Cream No Sugar

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

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

                                                   in decaying condition

the tenth door pulsates
boding well for soul’s ascent
even though we are in surrender
seeking nothing save caress divine
transmuting decaying form made of dust

Premium Member Decaying Memories

The pics masked In name-stamped boxes Shelf dusting And shatter When remembrances dissolve, Each work took my sight. Written: January 09, 2022

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
Decaying

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.

Barren

Barren
Hollow
Leaves lie scattered across the ground
Branches are withered and dying
Decaying
No more fruit I can bear
I am empty inside
The end of stimulation
Just a memory

Premium Member An Old Coffin

Some lighted pumpkins Sit outside an old coffin That houses a decaying Skeleton, rotten Are the old bones from within That pet the Jack-O-Lanterns

Make Way For the Dolphins and Whales

today
we don't think
therefore we are not
descartes is dead and gone
machines and computers work and think for us
our minds are shrinking, withering and decaying from lack of exercise

Mountains Tall

Death I beseech you,
Scream perils in my mouth,
Of decaying mountains and dilapidated rivers,
World unlike world,
Earths unlike earth,
Fill my pockets with star rays,
I shall wait one more day.

Tortured

As my tortured mind revels over time, 
the slowly decaying layers of my soul, 
things begin to show, 
everything your not supposed to know. 
The thoughts I try to hide, 
as I sit bidding my time.

Water

Water
      Written in class
      By complete mistake.

Waves swallow me whole,
Slowly suffocating I parish,
Under the sea is where my corpse rots,
Slowly decaying as predators nip at my flesh.

Premium Member Skeletal Trees Silhouette

My life, in darkness
Skeletal trees silhouette 
Decaying, left and right
I shuffle through the fallen
My light, soon to be consumed

Premium Member The Way We Look

one decaying body 
looks at another
lost in trance
birthing
perhaps desire 
or maybe aversion
judgments delusional
oblivious to spirit
indwelling form
the one light
within all
