Death knocks on earth’s door
Resources used for profits

A Call To Share Paradise

I thought that a friend's need
Was to me a depleting circumstance
Rather than a call to heed
And a fulfilling chance
To feed
Their fallen countenance
With a virtuous deed
In the Most Eminent glance
Of Christ of my creed
At every available instance

Premium Member The Sweetest Nip Huitain

Branded eternally by blood,
beauty is no longer fleeting.
So burgundy soft with a thud,
from head to toe left secreting.
I’m a vampire rose, flesh eating;
I’ll always pick a lush dessert.
Your sugar spikes are depleting,
the sweetest nip could never hurt.

Broken Soul

Life is great
Life has meaning

Life is misery
My soul depleting

Life is colourful, shining with joy
Life makes me feel like a broken and used toy

Life is worth living – 
A journey I am eager to complete

Life is a battle I am currently losing – 
Ending in disappointment and defeat…

Premium Member Chaos In America

Pandemonium 
Pandemic

Frightening
Forest fires

Polar bears dying
Climate change

Depleting ozone layers
Exacerbates cancers and cataracts

Mask versus no mask
Political parties fighting harder than ever

Black lives matter 
Versus The police

Fox news
Versus all other news stations

Chaos 
In America now

Unto Ash

A step ahead
of Satan
a lifetime
on the run
A pitchfork in
my rearview
the outlook 
zero sum
My energy 
depleting
my feet begin
to slow
His flames are
hot upon me
my fingers 
start to glow
The years I’ve spent
and wasted
the loved one’s
in my wake
Their memory in
the ashes
Gehenna
— is my fate

Premium Member Who Pays

Who Pays? Miracle Man 10/25/2024 Many drift through life just depleting their days, For any unforgiven sins they’re the one who pays. If they’ve given scant thought to their life eternal, at death they’ll take their place with hell’s infernal. We each go through life seeking peace to please us, But true peace is only found in our knowing Jesus.

Chemical Malady

Can’t function without it
The conjunctional life
And punctures confounding
A subjugal strife

My endurance depleting
My inevitable fallacies
Determined to beat this
Chemical malady

but

Deep down in the ditch
Is where I feel safe
Weak in the grips
Of insanity’s embrace

You can’t lift me out
Try as you may
Insipid, I pout
Is this where I’ll stay?

The Beginning

Scattered quacking,
rolls of thunder, 
magnets shaking,
earths big wonder.

Volcanos aching
clouds of ash.
Tsunami making
all beaches clash.

Ozone leaving, 
a solar flash,
planet heating,
Gods mighty wrath.

Wars emerging
day and night.
Oil resurging,
endless in sight.

Foods depleting,
No jobs abound,
Water's needed,
though nowhere found....

Lost

Lost in worldly darknesses searching for my light,Depleting every day only to reflect on the emptiness within stale daily routines,I weep for the lost and almost found,chaos has its own agenda,Time afflicts an unforgiving penance just to keep up with humanities pace, I struggle to find strength in blurred Instincts,Let my roots to my soul stem blessings upon all,For hope can grow higher than woes..

Premium Member Sand

Sand Miracle Man 3/18/2024 Sand appears to hotfoot through an hourglass, unrelentingly depleting our precious time. Without discernible deviation and no impasse, plays no favorites betwixt aged and prime. Life is not a “brief candle.” it is a splendid torch that I want to make burn d torch as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations. “Bernard Shaw”

Dark Times

Dark Times

Draining me, dragging me, down into your dungeon 
The same black hole that you keep on plunging into
Falling, pulling me down there with you
I can't stop the thoughts that are depleting you
I don't know how to stop you from descending but I can't stop pretending 
The black hole is not where I want to be
I have no reason not to be happy
Other than the pull of gravitational force 
That the constant negativity has caused

Which I Like

Just to breathe the cool clean air is a blessing
The sun hits my face, fear is quickly deplaced 
Battery in my phone is depleting,  which I like.

Just some time to myself is truly wealth
I hear the birds singing to one another
A brother down the street laughs with joy, which I like

A truly beautiful day, for once atleast 
Even with this warmth I begin to feel cold
Then though I quickly remember,  all the things

Which i like...

Sitting silently Motionless Emotionless Stagnant thumps from my heart Barely a beat Slumping sideways Dialing my way Nothing can save me Lonely So lonely So tired
Mirrored by scars Curvaceous figure Blade in hand Daggers deep deploying pain Depleting my heart of what was Severing Love

My Meaning

On the carousel of meaning,
An anxious but content woman refuses to accept defeating,
Even though her health and sleep are slowly depleting,
She puts her faith into the universe and on the carousel of meaning.
	
Meaning is another way to say that you’re meant to be alive,
Fearing what the future has to hold but reluctantly still choosing to dive,
Yet still remaining strong willed and refusing to be bribed,	
For you see the point is that this is MY life.

Premium Member As Time Slips By

Crystal winged hourglass flows muted gold sand as time turns red dawn to pink dusk once more; life’s tapestry fades as years so expand but love in the heart gives youth to restore when embraced with so much left to explore. Crystal winged hourglass portrays such fleeting finite life as time slips by depleting; with love reborn, awoken from sleeping so shall heavenly days be accreting - when sand flows no more - just joy, no weeping.

orb

let's have fun 
outside with the sun
thank the crops for every grain
thank the clouds for drop of rain

appreciate trees in the woods 
appreciate the ocean for seafoods
enjoy bird watching from a far
enjoy a lake visit near by 

express our gratitude above 
express it by making move
stop using dynamite in the sea
stop cutting down the trees 

avoid depleting the ecosystem 
avoid taking all the gems 
protect animals from chemical 
protect all that is natural

Feeling Something Real

Warm inclinations, 
One off conversations,
Unquestioned accusations,
Endless limitations.
 
Frustrating drama,
Devastating karma,
Countless lies,
Tearful goodbyes.
 
Hidden treasures,
Forgotten pleasures,
Forbidden temptation,
Lost in translation,
Blind realisation.
 
Unchartered oceans,
Half cocked notions,
Chance meeting,
Designated seating,
Bank balance depleting.
 
Emotional prostitution,
Computer revolution,
Positive solutions,
New year resolutions.

Gossip is evil.
It's base and it's cruel,
And it comes in many disguises.

It comes as concern,
And it comes as a joke,
And it claims reputations as prizes.

It's a parasite,
Depleting it's host,
As well as the victim intended.

Nothing is built,
And nothing is gained,
And little is ever mended.

Those who know little,
Often speak much,
And those who are wise speak the least.

Remember these words,
And think 'fore you speak.
It's best to just hold your peace.
