Despite
Despite the fact,
My body is decomposing.
Despite the fact,
I do not breath.
Despite the fact,
My bloods not flowing.

The world,
Goes on growing....

DECOMPOSER ALL MATTERS

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

Skulls
                   cracked, hollowed 
       showing, decomposing, wounding
  Remains, Graves, Cemeteries, Mausoleums
      cushioning preserving, defending 
                    damaged, vacant

Blackened Phoenix
A perceived love
Gone horribly awry
The anger seethes within
Destroying all in its path
The damage completed
Seen entirely too late
A twisted and angry Phoenix
Lays blackened and decomposing
Done in by imagined longings
And a dangerous mind...

Flatlining
Shockwave of affectively laden numbness

Functioning trait through the plumes of dysfunction

Tempestuous fever in hibernation

Enclosed coffin emotions decomposing

Discoloration life's defibrillation

Contemplation
it's wrong
to want to kill
your muse?
 
drown it 
like an unwanted 
puppy
bury it deep, somewhere 
in the desert
where essences rot, decomposing
the way they left your soul
 
dry
arid dusting with the tumbleweed
wherever the wind decides to move you
 
then SMACK, stuck on the grill of a semi
barreling on through...

June On the West Coast
Now that its June,
we'll sleep in the garden
soak into the dirt,
down into the underground,
to sleep with the dead
our bodies filled with maggots
decomposing
under the sullen sun
pushing daises
its a new morning,
soil in your mouth
dirt in my lungs
should we awaken?
now that its June,
June on the west coast....

Indifference
What difference does my endless pool of excuses make?

Do I not realize that my inarticulate sigh of agony 
is diluted in a sea of decomposing silence, 
with negative noise foaming at the pores of particle nonsense, 
and false memories of perfect bliss,
 in the process of reducing me
 to utterly insignificant screeching?...

Virulent Love
You're love is acid
Bubbling   
From every pore   
(scalding);   
  
You are the angelic face   
Of malignent venom   
Infecting every cell   
  
How I despise my   
Treacherous lust   
Body betrayer.   
  
Decomposing   
Your parasitic love   
Devouring   
I can not breathe   
Nor see my light   
Slowly darknen....

Android  
     fan boy
Humanoid   
        fun toy
Funny alien noise
It's not like I have a choice
When I have to listen to the other voice
Drifting in the void of decomposing joy
Body building melodrama hooked on steroids
I'm a boy holding a button to
Weapons of mass destruction
And I want to see everything destroyed
Sit back and enjoy........

i would love to have the chance to ask the dog star      are you Sirius?

John Tirious won't tell people his daughter's name      it's Miss Tirious

if i were fuzzy wuzzy and lost all my hair     i'd be furrious

when songwriters erase      are they "decomposing" or "delyrious"?


[i should know better than to dabble in such puns, after all i am a groan man]...

Decay, Destruction, crumbling into ruin, decomposing; My soul would wither and shrivel away, Without words and poetry creating; These eyes are for dreaming and writing. __________________________________ June 12, 2015 Rhyme Verse Written by Broken Wings Visual #1 For the contest, Through Your Eyes, sponsor, Nette Onclaud Fourth Place

When I Am, When I'M Not
When I am,
I see the world's little beauty and life.
When I'm not,
I see the world for it's disease and death.

When I am,
I have lave, happiness,
and a joy to be alive.
When I'm not,
life's meaningless,
causing me great pain.

When I am,
I write of love
and feeling full of life.
When I'm not,
I write of the world
decomposing from
 pollution, cruelty, and death....

Love Forgotten
Shadows cast over an empty lot
My light is gone
Covered by the gray fog of death

I saw your love for me die
like the petals of a wilting rose
decomposing in the ground

Our love was a puddle 
Now dried up by the burning sun 
Evaporated by the long days of a loveless summer
 
The crimson color of love forgotten
Soaking the feathers of the white dove
Perching on your ebony heart...

"leaflets For the New World"
shield your eyes, not from decomposing worlds
stand in intentional view, make no sound
band together in small ways, with leaflets in hand
for them to see, your vote would count~
and now they know, the young, will be smarter than the past    
and now the further future may be brighter, than we could believe 
so thank you with all my heart~
someone who wants to believe

Premium Member Mourning Celebrations
mourning celebrations:

Easter without hunts
or relative sounds,
anniversary knells,
birthday sans icing —

tears well.

you wipe them off the screen,
clean as you go,
wash hypochondriac hands.

green sleeves

on the old oak awakes,
surely timed by mistake —
no one to dance underneath.

Autumnal leaves

ought to be
trickling down Ichabod’s arms
decomposing.

Ravenous
Swirling scuffling newspapers
Scrawling in civilized dirt
Alleyways devouring
Discarded stories of hurt
Sunken sorrel skin
Writhing in distended shame
Ingested figments of food
Decomposing depravity’s name
Corroded cans of compassion
Littering hunger pains 
Kicked into comatose corners
Prodded by public domain
Flaccid fingers of despair
Folded to somehow convey
God if you can hear me
I haven’t eaten in ten days...

Letters
Love, l-o-v-e, 4 letters,
Hate, h-a-t-e, 4 letters, 
The decomposing transition of a word, 
Rejoice 4 letters hold the key, 
Mourn 4 letters destroy.
All that we are letters do tell,
Letters bind and letters break the chain,
So much in so little 
Yet break the giant without finger raised.
Tears flowing, letters unspoken, hearts broken. 
The giant weeps not for what he lost, 
But for wavering conviction....

Nothing To See
Fantasy slowly suffocates memories
days gone by are by gone
Hope will not meet my gaze
Lemming dreams hover at the edge
and fall into the depths
to land upon their 
decomposing brethren
Dreams once had
are now seeked
Crumpled life
hinders my feet
used to chase the rainbow
now head bowed within the rain
each raindrop hides my shame
Just pass by the dead crying in the rain
nothing to see here
nothing to see...

raw
i can slaughter the girl i once was, but i must learn how to love the woman i have become.

i can eat my decomposing body, to feed my new one.

pick apart all the rotten things about me, separate them from my beauty.

i can dissect and collect everything about the innocent girl i once was.

but all that knowledge will never heal me.

all that flesh will never feed me.

all that beauty will never satisfy me.
