The wind spreads the fire
The earth catches the sparks
The water destroys the funeral pyre.

Tree Boy

his body 
is a tree trunk
flowers growing
out of it

he plucks flowers
every night
and destroys them;
destroys himself

The red salvia colors our lawn,
Later their flags are withdrawn
As the winter arrives and destroys
Innocent, red-flower joys.

Recognition

That which creates us,
Destroys us,
But only for the cause of renewed birth,
That is for certain,
In my mind at least,
For the better good.

May just arrive as noise;

So Man,

Instead, Destroys.

Flirt with my demons
We chase that which destroys us.
We know we shouldn't!

Can be perceived a threshold loss,
As piteous as piety
When rage of age destroys its gloss
And ends a dismal dynasty.

tornadoes of emotions,
twisting mind and soul
into 
forces of ugliness,
which destroys the 
existence of

Weakness in history
is greatest strength
that destroys the strong
Grow it and you are gone
Avoid it and long life
you will live and live
till cows come home

Destroys love between couples,
And offers them forgiveness,
He is a jealous and bitter God you worship.

The Fate of Forgive-Less-Ness

The Fate of Forgive-less-ness
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Love without forgiveness.
But with Hippocritical lip service 
Destroys devotion, adoration, and fidelity.

I enjoy all four seasons to see
And yes, all the leaves that long to be
On the other side
Darth Vader resides
His light sabre destroys all the trees

It's all around you
but it does NOT surround you

It doesn't go away
at the end of the day

Before it destroys you
Here's what you can do
