Memory of Youth

Unbound and uncaged
Every day is a flight day
The eyes see no obstacles

The night swiftly comes
The fountain of youth depletes 
Young hearts don’t see the rainbow

Premium Member Love is No Different

The thing is:
if you don’t water flowers—
they wither.

If you don’t feed the soil—
it depletes.

If you don’t replant—
nothing grows.

Love is no different.

You chose the plot.
You chose the labour.
You chose
what lived—
and what didn’t.

PTSD LIFE

Presence of unwanted dreams.
Tremors in my body it causes
Searching for answers it would seem
Dangerous as there are no pauses
Loving oneself is hard to create
Intimacy is so far away
Friendship begging I need a mate
Energy depletes every day

Workin'Woman Blues

Aching feet
Legs feel like sticks
Back and shoulders 
Need a fix.

Hands arthritic,
Can't take the cold
Workin' too hard
And gettin' old.

Too tired body
Depletes my mind
Devastated by
The daily grind

Here comes Thursday
Friday's best
Thankful for
A weekend rest.

one
     by one
     this harmnic 
song depletes..
a
candle extinguished
the sound
              lessens..
notes
     take
          their
               leave..
a tear
      follows
         each tear
          of
             parting

inspired by Haydn's Farewell symphony clip

Forgiveness

The sword of fury stabs us in the back,
Sparking the fire by resentment. 

Flames ignite into a huge grudge,
With hatred burning in our eyes.

If a person repents their past sins,
Eradicate the arson of fueled anger.

Life is too short to scorch in rage,
A blaze that depletes the quality of life.

Premium Member Imaginative

Poetry missing,
Words in my mind scattering.
Stories incomplete,
Scenes in my mind animating.

Drawings dissatisfying,
Visions in my mind manifesting.
Artistry depletes,
Ideas in my mind revitalizing.

Dreams shattering,
Thoughts in my mind realizing.
Creativity fading,
Feelings in my mind restoring.

Diction Pictures

Things slip away.
  Obeying laws of
  cause and affectation,
  diction pictures words
    as sounds.

Hounds bay at lunatics.
  Sticks and bones
  fillet my stones.
    Millet and rye
    make me cry.

Ground beneath my feet,
  a swaying beat
    repeats
    repeats
    depletes me of my
      funky mood.

Shall we dance?

Saved

I'm on the brink
not much more
canI take this
No longer am I able
to commiserate about mylife
 I must do something
before an unfortunate circumstance
A cumbersome feeling ascends
I must be quick
before my time depletes
To my knees I drop
begin to pray from my core
problems begin to diminish
Light descends around me
I feel a celestial presence
and now know I am SAVED

Guard Your Peace

Guard your peace,
Learn not to entertain negative people in life.
Some situations will test your patience and
try to make you respond to things that depletes 
your positive energy!

Guard your peace,
Stop fighting what doesn't add value to your life. 
Remember, negative energy will never yield 
positive thinking and feeling in life!

Premium Member Oddly

Time oozes
Depletes fast
Odd snoozes
Fade at last


Oddly enough
Age soon churns
Loss frames stuff
To ash turns


Is it strange?
Loss keeps score
Ooze meets change
At the door


Time and space
Fade each day
Age frames face
In end play


Start with cheer
To live spell
Age my dear
Must soon tell

beverage

Twist off the cap
Lay it in your lap
I'm your favourite beverage
Take a sip of your leverage
I give catering a double meaning
Leave the flavours of my heart overweening

Soft or alcoholic
Was your love for me hyperbolic
Do I leave you dreary in the streets
Every step your awareness depletes
Or do you look forward to tasting me again
No longer a recipient of your disdain

Premium Member Mindful Eye

Innate pull to unite with source, without employing use of force compels us to pause in mid flight, discerning unending delight is found only betwixt bliss beats; heightened joy that never depletes and so whilst immersed in life’s flow, we choose to make our thought pulse slow by holding still our attention in void centric meditation. 02-December-2022

Done Deal

[A] DONE DEAL
[A] defeated disgusting man this is. Disallowed defense because of his disease. [A] Done deal to compete with the Dogs! Distribute dinner to him as a better eat of hog maws. Do not deliberate this as a lost. [A] Done Deal depletes the prognosis. Dis Dell do. Hair her head to... [A] Done deal the truth! _________________| PENNED ON JULY 04, 2014!

Premium Member Ye Know Not When

Tick-tock and then chime;
Our life-clock beats
Our precious time out,
As it slowly depletes.

No-one can know when
Their own 'clock' will stop,
Will it end on a tick ...
Or will it end on a tock?

Each hour on the dot
Our clocks clearly chime,
To remind us all
Of our passing time.

Use your time wisely,
For ye know not when,
As engraved on the sun-dial;
On the church at St Wenn.

Awakening Call

Season of refreshing
The dead spring up alive
Their faces brighten up
Hope permeates the landscape
Beauty climbs to the top

Season of refreshing
The dying receive strength
There is a quantum leap
A brandish of colours
All expect a good reap

Season of refreshing
There’s an awakening call
An upsurge in fervour
Gloom rescinds and depletes
Pleasure meets endeavour

Premium Member Joy Current

Acclimatised to feeling incomplete,
conditioned to believing in striving,
our receptivity slowly depletes,
enmeshed in ego borne doubts spiralling,
thus choosing fleeting joy, self-limiting.
In truth, all we need to do is let go
of thought forms rooted in desires shallow,
whereupon we reclaim unending bliss,
elixirous rapture, soft and mellow,
divine entwined ecstatic joy caress.

The Beaches

that people person responding to mercy 
was left deserted, suffering worthless 
I felt I was but dug back to the surface 
I always return and always with purpose
 
defeat depletes some but with me it teaches 
if a blitz destroys towns you fight on the beaches 
the fields, the hills to where the mountain peak is 
underground, sea, sky until you're in pieces 
with some enemies death is better than peace is

Premium Member What May Or Not Have Been

Hands like the quivering branches of a tree
Waving in the wind
         Waving to the sound of the violin
Scars of history become unmasked
As her sword comes out for evening play
Drum beats and heart depletes
Eyes that pierce
Like silver knifes through my heart
         She dances around my lingering thoughts
Day and night a string of nightmares begin
Of a musical love and notes that ring
I wonder what may have been
If she let me play her violin

Iberian Lynxs

Iberian Lynx’s are listed as, critically endangered
and are related to the Eurasian Lynx, and are about half their size
They are only found, in the southern areas of Spain
and their habitat is forest woodlands, which is their natural domain

Their threats are, habitat loss for human development 
of dams, agriculture, plantations, highways and railways 
and a deadly disease, that has killed their main prey
along with humans hunting rabbits, that depletes their habitat
