A Petal's Life

The petal falls,
decays,
nutrition for 
the next day's flower.
The circle of life
continues,
the same fate
lies in wait.

Premium Member Bone Beach

where he takes his dates
is undisturbed and concealed
by myriad pines.
left behind, their flesh decays
over time . . . into the sand

Premium Member What Happens When We Die

In death body and soul are separated
The body decays
While soul goes to meet Eternal God
Waits to be reunited with its risen body
On the last day

Chance To Love

love, where old soil
decays among elder trees--
like buds wanting to grow

seasons don't arrive
in lush wakes of affection
--a hardened clay in wintry life

Still got hair, don't need a toupee Even though my old body decays Eat lots of tubers A healthy old hooter As I near the finale of my life long ballet

Premium Member Zen Mode

we’ve observed
that when body ails
bliss yet diminishes not
presence in rapture sails

it is a strange paradox
even as form decays
smiling as we fall
our soul plays

Premium Member God’s love

Body decays at a slow pace,
which most notice not, in life’s race,
yet heart’s vibrance remains alive
and throb of love does always thrive,
since God holds us in close embrace.
Form: Quintilla

Challenge

Moon’s eyes keenly look and gaze
At the world shrouded in haze;
Reading the threat of decays.

It is now the right moment
Of earth to have the urgent
Need of solving her descent.

Woodpeckers etch names

Leave their marks on great big world

Yearning

Simple words,
Footprints 
Lead me
Slowly home,
The autumn sun
Surrenders,
Hazy orange,
Stillness sets,
The hum decays
Into silence,
Precious thoughts
Fill the void.

I am yearning
For a change.
Form: Sonnet

Premium Member Monk mode

neither seeking
nor resisting
aspect unclinging
the current
carries us

form decays
values shift
thoughts recede
we vaporise
yet exist

shape shifting
we become
the mist
all pervading
God’s light

The Heaven Reaching Trees

The Clouds where once my leaves of white decadence,
Now they are but gone, scattered by the wind.
As the sun ever withering, decays,
These heaven reaching trees, which stems from the crimson soil,
That is my heart.

Premium Member I watch as time moves on

i yearn to halt time
untill corruption decays-
yet it marches on.

still,by the roadside
watching the move,burdened down,
with rot and decay.

dirty stream flows on
pure water hugs the edges
as the proverb says.

Premium Member Wake Up

we know
we’re bound

space-time
a cage

body
decays

our thoughts
spiral

desires
cause fears

let’s choose
stillness 

silence
frees us

we are
presence

God is
within

we are
as He

wake up
hermit
Form: Footle

Fly

The fly spits across my vision
cloud lost skies
a touchscreen world
erratic its journey
seeing the land in splintered
bond moments
jealous of its buttered kaleidoscope cousin
but enamoured by the torrid decays
of the left

Premium Member I am Sadness

My fate decays like dead moss on a tree. Soft teardrops fall like leaves caught in a breeze. My shadow still remains lost in debris, as I reside in prison on my knees. In darkness no light helps me find the key.

Premium Member Soliloquy

The
old man
dies a death,
youth arrives with
Spring-
with
a blaze
of passion
Summer takes a 
Fall-
and 
decays-
in Winter
darkness ages
all

Premium Member One Hit Wonder

How deadly this sweet drink of praise, 
that sipped, decays the thing it lauds. 
A sly deceiver, 'tis, oh yes, 
this chronic craving for applause. 

A first place prize, the kiss of death,
to art original and free. 
But now is surely lost I fear,
in muddy mires of mimicry.

Premium Member She Stands Beside the Sea

she stands beside the sea
a tear escapes, runs down her face
melancholy comes to embrace
the past won’t set her free
lost love decays without a trace

Reflection On Forgotten Love

Young love looses its flavor when left to its own devices
Half forgotten on a shelf it ripens, molds, and decays.
Sweet, sunlight dancing memories that pull tears from regretful eyes
Soon turn bitter—
Suave boys exchange tuxedos for clown noses
And earnest naivety is revealed.

Of Love

    Love oozes, surges
    cascades on opulence
    rushing with emotive urge,
    flows in elegance,
    yet fades, becomes feeble, frail,
    dries, decays, dies, gets extinct
    completing life cycle.

Premium Member Soul Feels Outrage

Soul feels outrage, being confined Mind-body prism decays Senses guide what may be divined Bondage till end of days Cessation sets us free When head and heart agree In carefree, joyous spree Body a cage Soul feels outrage 12-December-2021 Quietus
