An Omen

Dilapidated
Ravens soars in sapphire skies.
Dreaming of feasting.

Eerie squeaky door
Dripping pipe drips on the floor
Mournful wind cries more

Next to the railway land is that dilapidated home
she lives there in starvation and roam.
that my universe are
she is my sister,
but the people can't find her; humanity leads to gloom....

Hubby decamped,
Kids gone,
House dilapidated,
Garden gone to seed,
She took-up Tai-chi.

Facing East,
A half veiled sun
Behind her,
She became a
Pictograph,
Crowned by
A golden rice bowl....

Death I beseech you,
Scream perils in my mouth,
Of decaying mountains and dilapidated rivers,
World unlike world,
Earths unlike earth,
Fill my pockets with star rays,
I shall wait one more day....

Here lies the dilapidated body of a phoenix

With its fiery blood flowing like lava

Its eyes of amber set in anger

Screeching out for beautiful metamorphosis

That will come with pending resurrection ...

Delipadated and Ill Fated

Home I did see was so dilapidated,
To go into inside of it had hesitated;
Dog was near death
Taking a dying breath;
He died an the results were ill fated.

Saw this on a YouTube video.

Oh incredulous one;
dilapidated are the wits
that polished the tongue with opinions
harvested by its compulsions,
held within impetuous views, and twisted truths...
Such a mind
never construes itself as an empty pit
by means of rejection......

Echoes through the hallway

Of this dilapidated ruin

A stone house made with devoted hands

Ladened once with the life and love of humans


Soft whispers can be heard

An occasional silhouette hazily drifts by

The humans that once lived here

Continue to reside …....

In confluence of the river of life
Who hymn lots to gain
gets pain like hell besides having 
a lot of gems and
wealth.
Those whose biography sails 
love and compassion fair and faith 
lives in love in words and thought 
heaven they deserves to got
though may live in 
dilapidated
home....

An old wooden boat
Abandoned in a field by the sea
Weathered and neglected 
Life on the ocean just a memory

A life now past
Sad and forgotten 
This once wooden seaworthy boat
Left broken and rotten

Dilapidated and alone
It’s permanent home now aground
The call of the beloved ocean
Only a distant sound ….....

Cowards cower here
Highlighting all of their fears
With all of their tears

We foresaw the fall
From dilapidated walls
And heartbroken calls

They may have one eye
But it's filled with shallow lies
Festering like flies

Cowards cower here
They lack strength in lonely years
They are not our peers

I never realised it was a temple
Until it was too late
Unfortunately my temple by then
Was in a dilapidated state

With permanent crack lines
On the temple top
Outside walls have bulged
Loosened and dropped

This temple has seen better days
As maintenance it has lacked
No longer a temple
Just a worn out old shack

There is dust, cobwebs, and all sorts of debris.
Years of idleness have resulted in this scene.
That is the inside of this dilapidated house I see.
I don’t know if I will ever get it clean.
This is an English quintain I’ve written for Francine.

written 3-08-12 for Francine's "Cobwebs and Dust" contest.  Cobwebs and dust theme used.

Insecticide spray

Death is coming 
can you hear the planes? 
Spraying their poisonous package 
Sprinkling down like rain 

deaf to  violence 
blind to famine 
The government convicts and kills 
with without remorse to feel 

death than silence 
confined  & dilapidated 
United states of terror 
New world order 
 creeps nearer and nearer...

Exhorted (past tense) and exhorted                                                          (past participle); strongly encourage 
or urge (someone) to do something

Trump Had Exhorted

People to commit crimes, Trump had exhorted;
Terribly evil things distorted when he extorted;
Dilapidated,
And constipated;
Off stage should be escorted and then aborted.

The Pillar Falls
the pillar, an act of craftsmanship
solid, festooned and decorated
beautifully designed and plated,
its each brick hooked and slated,
stood as proud attraction in the chapel.
then, aged with seasons and weathers
craven, cracked and dilapidated
dreadfully deserted and haunted,
its each edge blunt, surface perforated,
fell into a pile of shapeless rubble...

A repressed scream.
Someone breaks the head.
I was hitting the wall.

The rape hurts.
Withers away the dam.
River was changing the course.

It was very pompous;
the benign torture. No
more I belong to this world.

And the dilapidated
houseboat floats on the lake
to collect the immersed-

bones of ancesters. A 
door opens. The poem prints
the pain of centuries.

Darkness and stillness are my friends
I am poverty and beggary is my trend
A matter of surprise but a subject not to hide
Ignorance is my mother and I am a fatherless child
Soaked in blood and covered with mud
I live in this world like a hopeless bird.
if the whole world turns like me?
A little carelessness turns out to be
Sinking deep in this dilapidated sea
I cry for a life, I cry for your mercy!...

It looks dilapidated and alone 
On luscious greenland
All that is left is a brick chimney
Of a house once so grand

Bricks laid hundreds of years ago
Now lay scattered on the ground
Yet the chimney still stands strong and proud
With fallen house remnants all around

Such raw beauty is that old chimney
From a once beloved home
Memories and that old chimney
Is all that lives there now silent and alone!...

The dilapidated décor,
and Sergeant Pepper
wore the same tones.

Burgundy stocking
hung on a lava lamp,
A poster of Leonard Cohen
as a young man.

Paddington apartments
travel by train unhurried by time.
A girl drinking Liebfraumilch
waiting for me to come home
with a used album of Rubber Sole

We had vinyl prayer-wheels,
a laminated love affair.
We had red and yellow music;
bottles of Blue Nun wine....
