Premium Member Idols

idols become gods
 leaving churches desolate
 like ancient ruins
 rising without glory
 but still reaching for heaven

dark desolate road
an unloved abandoned house
shabby and unkempt
makes me exceedingly sad
tear wallpaper from my youth

You and Me

you and me
the sun and sea
desolate sand
on this quiet beach
sun that warms
moon that glows
secrets only
the sea will know

two women 
in an desolate scene were alone
on an almost kiss

dead tree
were they softly leaned against each
their nude bodys

Within Our Hearts Blooms Still Love In This Desolate World

Love left this earth and flew away from our hearts.

Though soulless this world and desolate, within our hearts blooms still love.

Leaf Falling

In stormy backwoods
Windy wail in huff 'n puff
Thus, no leaves rustling
Tumbling to the drizzle ground 
Desolate leaf settle down

Life

Diluted love

Faded memories

A desolate existence

A heart-felt plea

Delusional obsessions

Addictions

Regrets

Apologies

Tides

Tides
     
The desolate moon
Shining soft upon the earth.
Soon sways sweet love's tides.

Capture tranquil raindrops from long ago...
dew drops beyond wealthy,
where sunlight stones widows
desolate,eroded,silent cold tears...

Keep Moving

On dry 
desolate sands,
your wet footprints
eagerly follow your star,

for you 
have nowhere 
to go if you continue 
staying where you are!

Dreams

As dreams flutter by
On the wings of a scarlet butterfly
You often hear the tormented and lonely cry
And we are left desolate
Brokenhearted
You and I

It’s those desolate interludes
that create the new space

For our souls to exhale

Joy and Pain

love
such joy
the oneness
two hearts as one
wonderful feeling of being complete

shed tears at the bitter separation
dazed confusion
desolate
bereft
pain

Life Is a Desert

where is going the sun,unkown
who wants know everything
believe you never nice sometimes know
why lost shadows
lifes are a desolate desert
so much wait for response

Souls Apart

We part company, Your tongue slowly slides away, Pulling my soul out, With a desolate screaming, That only two lovers hear. (c) 2015 PJ Bayliss

Dry & Weary Face

Discerning what is true
I turn to you
Prince of Peace
My sweet release.

Once callous to your voice
I've made my choice
I've found your grace
Reviving my desolate face.

soulspeak

soaking
moonlight
with sighs

     breathing
     ambience
     of cold 
     wilderness
     nights

I lie
supine
in content
near to
my desolate

peaceful nest

For Life Itself Is a Service

I am unhappy
in this situation,
and yet. . .
Does not a dandelion
blossom even when alone,
praying to a desolate street lamp?



Poem's title attributed to Edgar Cayce.

Seaweed

a crimson line
drawn in the sand
a heart washed up
on a desolate strand

the tide flows in
with its endless reach
hope twisted in seaweed 
with broken shells on the beach
