Droughted Love

Canyons of loss
emotional wastelands
Spires of hope
grasping for sky

Riverbeds bake
 mountains are damming
Feelings once deluged
—barren and dry

Premium Member Color Deluged Time

In the heart of colorful autumn, skies were colored, too,
for flaming time was getting older, out in the hilly country.
Springtime's budding charm, lends a certain beauty to old age.

Premium Member Rhythm of a River

river flows in slow strides, kissing the rocky shores, to unknown lands, in great wonder. fetters that bind are broken asunder. its heart is deluged with a song waves lap merry along. songs fill the air. river

Strangers staring, father frowning
as the crickets chirp   in  the deluged duplex,
Sydney swims towards the stairs,
looks like no water wets here, she said,
father follows further, 
where's little Linda? , he heard,
a barking bulldog runs down the slippery stairs.

FRAMELESS
materialised
 from  shadows
diluted
  sonorities
evoke
a
muffled
montage
as
prelude
 drifting
 through a
world half-awake
 on a
promenade
of  reverie

images faded
turned
& relinquish
 identity
in a flux
of folly
 in memory in
 deluged
apocalypse
of
multisensory
 tsunami
of
spectacular
 optimism

LATE SPRING

late spring
   with now a few drops
       half rain…half snow

late spring
         garden path deluged
a scurry!…frisky fellow

late spring
     on the garden path, old snow
tulip thrusts…like hello

late spring
             rain clouds forever

late spring
same old crows
still raising hell

late spring
thinking…chewing on one finger
coffee stains

All Things Are Temporary Written: by Tom Wright 4/8/2017 Sitting in the reticence of the moment, I examine my real world. While drowning in an ocean of thoughts; My mind is deluged with but one; That I am only here temporarily, Walking through days of accomplishments, And disappointments; We’ve toiled to produce, and accumulate, Warehousing things for the delight of others;

Too Old To Be Young, Too Young To Be Old

To the crux and cusp of Heaven's Hill,
I have staggered with burning feet
For 'tis Hell to take another pill,
But Divine to take a flying leap

My models in bottles, posing there
Glare at me with eyes in scorn
Do they not see my Soul's despair
That's haunted me since I was born?

It's quite obvious and plain to me,
Deluged in my ninety-proof
That I am blessed, unluckily
To have survived my Youth...

A sirocco greeted me
rushing past in heated blasts
my maps had ruined her weekend.
I sought the cool glare
of the new receptionist
only to be buffeted by
the nor’east gale
emanating from the office
of the station manager.
I gazed into the future
cast my lot with Wednesday
“warm, sunny, idle breezes”
Repeating it every hour
on the hour.
A flood of complaints
deluged the station.
I left the building
in an elevator
“partly rowdy
with no chance of shame”.
