Short Decompose Poems

Living musicians compose
      
     Dead musicians decompose



    The title is Latin for:
   'Art is long; life is short'...

Agonizing golden leaves are trembling as Autumn's bitter wind blows

Fearing to fall onto their deathbed beneath the tree and decompose!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was made of impermanence,
of the stuff of earth,
the temporary parts of existence–
the parts that wither, decay,
and decompose away
back to nothing--
like stars in microcosm.

Crying; eyes closed 
Dermis exposed
Blood on my clothes
Thoughts decompose
Flame-licking burning
Stomach is turning 
Dizzy; concerning
Better start learning
Death by disdain
I dance in the rain
Drunk on the pain
Bandage my brain...

DECOMPOSER ALL MATTERS

all matter must decompose
it's just for it's sins nature
even humans
decomposing matters rots
natures turning dust
even humans -

A rose with no thorns

As soft an open as a rose with no thorns. Although the past have created some, I can not see them and I can not feel them. My petals wilt and I decompose and find nutrients in the soil. And I bloom.

I see the
Tombstones of modernity
crumble
as tired tears
of pretty paintings--colorful--
(wash my face)
and decompose cheap convenient concrete
to make way
for more convenient wires.

The metal, sharp
pries me far above what is knowledgeable...

I am encompassed 
creativity stricken 
now decompose not blinded 
what is the last line dead letters
Blank white paper but no characters
Clouded mind unwinds
Creativity died

In mine mental block

Cicadas burst forth into song.  Why did they not decompose
seventeen years underground?
How much knowledge, right or wrong, does God choose not to disclose?
God’s servant, Job finally found...
When life's negatives develop, it is Truth which they expose.

Here lie the remains of Ethel Brown
A circus clown from County Down
She’s buried wearing her red plastic nose
‘Twill be the last of Ethel to decompose!

I am the vomit
Greed Devoured
But couldn’t keep down
Dogs of desperation
Lick me up
Digest and shit me out

This piece of shit
Undisposed, and exposed
This shit
The only rose
In rows
Of dead
Screaming flowers
Reek of shit
As they decompose....

It's autumn
The trees in the garden
are naked...
On the ground the leaves have started
 to decompose.
Nothing left there for the birds..
no cherries,
no plums,
no apples,
Only my rosemary is   still green
and i am enjoying  this little spring
in the autumn......

Dreams leak out of my mannequin head
My twisted plastic limbs are sprawled out on my bed
My expression ever frozen, in a dramatic pose
I'm not biodegradable but I want to decompose
A glue drop on my cheek to emulate a tear
I've been here 10 minutes or maybe 10 years...

Poetry
By: Tom
December 21, 2020

To the writer, it’s poetry,
an expression of that writer’s inner feeling.
His / Her thoughts at a given moment in time.

To another, it may be viewed as rubbish,
and left to decompose in the landfill
of time.

The dam was destroyed and the people fled...
So the wind goes...
The ship was lost by the conquering sea...
As the waves suddenly rose...
Trees were uprooted; houses turned to dust...
As the bodies decompose...
My life blown away in a single breath,
and so the wind goes......

Winter migrants arrive with welcome calls
 the Indian Summer falters,and falls
 
Sycamore seeds twirl and twist
Onto a fairy-ring fungus tryst

Stink horn capped with slime,
As carrion beetles pass the time.

 
Yellowed leaves drift and decompose
into next year's cellulose....

No hope without dope.
Polluted by blood,
Letting it out is the way to cope.

Seeking the flood,
In, the needle goes.
Stars now start to pose.

Then, the senses deceive.
But incandescent lights propose,
to let go of the grief,
while your mind melts and decompose.

It's like watch the fall of a dead rose,
as peace arouse....

Need a place to escape to,
but nowhere left to run
except perhaps down a bottle
or inside a loaded gun
need a place to hide in 
because you left me so exposed
took my heart to open air
watched it decompose.
I need you like i did back when
your hand was mine to hold,
down the bottle, unload the gun
and feel yourself run cold....

Day in day out I plot my dream from words
Insensitive instruments that like old swords
May cut the heart from a tongue as with pen
And yet with this I measure lines of men
Silly thoughts naked of vest and imagination
Carrying loads of zest to the altar of frustration
Who brag in syllables that will not decompose
Another of the world's unbearable woes...

I am violent
speaking over peace.

I help those who love me
weep
as joy grows too remotely possible.

I am always angry without cause
for love.

I lie
when truth feels too accessible,
intimate.

I kill innocent life
to decompose curiously decadent death.

I evil in ecological despair
as I might live in more patient ecopolitical faith....

how I love the fall
its tempered coolness 
and gusts of wind transport leaves 
and emotion across miles and miles of earth

the dry secular heat of summer
that turned my heart to kindling
and filled the streets with barren ideals 
has come to an end

along with this seasonal change
my sorrow like the fallen leaves
slowly begins to decompose...

Silent screams of agony 
Fill this void and dismal hole,
Echoing its cries throughout
The cursed caverns of my soul.

Unseen tears of sorrow flow
From these melancholy eyes,
Drowning hopes I once possessed
To fulfill its own demise.

This decaying heart of pain
Withers like a blood-red rose.
Bound to fates of loneliness,
My heart soon to decompose....

Demons all around me
Waiting to suck out my soul
Angels have also found me
Waiting for me to pay their toll

Rain falls downs on you
It drenches your cotton clothes
Piercing sun still surrounds you
Making dreary feelings decompose

Why are you touched by materials
The way I am touched by the mind?
You love the taste of your cereal
It reminds me of a simpler time...
