Imagination never diminishes with age;

     on the contrary,
  
     the loss of memory only enhances 

     the thoughts of what usta be...

Premium Member No Greater Grief

frankly, there is no greater grief
than the loss of a child
the anguish cannot be squelched or concealed
some say it diminishes over time
I do not believe this

Premium Member Here now this morn

decay of form diminishes focus
though vibrance infused by bliss is retained
what is, is and so there’s nothing to do
presence is at peace, poise unrushed, unfeigned

Of Solitude diminishes'
With the word of God,
But the amendable features'
Are complete when you accept
The Lord unconditionally

Premium Member Zen Mode

we’ve observed
that when body ails
bliss yet diminishes not
presence in rapture sails

it is a strange paradox
even as form decays
smiling as we fall
our soul plays

I Have Panic of Being Afraid

Fear is one thing
      that blinds us...
      fear is a medicine
      that kills us...
       Fear diminishes us...
       That's why I have a terrible
       panic of being afraid...!

Ever Ready

He's always there
ever ready
you can tap 
into His strength
just like a battery,

but unlike the battery
He never diminishes
never runs out of juice

your light will never go out!

To the One I Love

If ever you
doubt my
love,
look into 
my eyes.

The sparkle
you see 
in them
is my
love for you.

If ever the
sparkle diminishes,
do not fear. 

My love
 is not
gone.
Only that
my health
has diminished.

Solitude

The unattainable
    Boundaries'
Of Solitude
    Diminishes
With the Will
   Of God'
And drifts away
   To sand...

Mom

Mom; your care give me light;
When things around go dim at night.
The faith you cast on me;
diminishes my fear in a wee.
The bright shade of your smile;
Never fades even by a mile. 
Oh Mummy thank you ;
for being with me all through.
I love you mummy.

Premium Member In Sadness

Belief..
       in grief
awakes trust,
defeats despair
subdues rage,
        deciphers
fact from fiction:
breathes
            hope
refutes
            lies
purges
            pity
stands firm
diminishes time...

such grace 
provides solace

Premium Member Still Paying

I seized the moment,
sure I’d repay it in kind.
What’s a hint of regret
for what I thought I needed to burn?

Now the burden grows,
sleepless nights interest is accruing.
The cost never diminishes,
but the memory of the flame is a vapor,
and yet, I still pay.

Lights

Every time a light goes out
A new one is set aflame.

For every one that finishes,
A new player enters the game.

One shuts off and we fill with doubt:
"Was it really meant to be?"

But another on and our doubt diminishes:
"This is the light the world should see."

Premium Member Winter's Wrath

Autumn frosts my breath, forming white contrails of misty vapors, that get snatched away by a feisty breeze. Color swiftly diminishes, as the wind strips leaves from the trees. And scarecrows abandoned in the fields: suffer Winter's wrath.

Premium Member Help

The man who makes
                    ..........  things his own way
                     ...... He relishes the favor
                     Whereas to the man
                        Who does not?
                  It diminishes the thought

Hive of Bees

Where bees fly away
Buzzing around the grill.
Hard to have a decent meal
Without summer breeze.
In a given space of land 
Silence reigns in time.
In many places self notice
Fear of sting diminishes.
Buzz lost its hives.
Till when and how
While tearing down the old.
Extinct like hive of bee.

Night Time

The dark with glittering glow
Shining moonlight
Calm pleasant sleep
Of the world
Hoping for nextday
To woked up with a freshmind.
The lovely sound of breeze
As a lullaby for flowers
Trees as bed for birds
Through their hardwork
All the day along
Diminishes by the lovely sleep with nature music of breeze.

As a Member of Humanity

as a member of humanity
the pain of poverty 
diminishes me.
give my gold away
mere things have no sway.
guard my wayward heart
from lies and coldness
indifference and busyness
that i may  heed the cries
casting away pride
to cry  alongside
with a new way of seeing
become a better human being.

Premium Member Rondelet: No Man Is An

"Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind."
                John Donne

No man is an...
All men need belong in a group
No man is an...
Stand alone: the group will you ban
Can stray warped strands make sails droop
The lone man drowns (swims) in his own soup
No man is an...

Visable

A look in the mirror, there one can see
They are not invisible, not a piece a debris
A look in the mirror, is all it takes
You are a person as real as those aches

The aches one can feel, when another diminishes you
The aches you can not see, when someone truly hurts you
You are you, I am me, we are both visible
Now let them see

Premium Member Defying dehydration

body fatigue diminishes not soul’s light
though no doubt it has to be attended to
to savour the bliss of magnetic delight
cascading within form whose each hue is new
cognised by our spiritual eye’s clear sight
as blessings of grace continue to accrue
that thus situation any we dance on
in time dissolved silence breath by breath reborn

Premium Member ONE SPOT of LIGHT DISPERSES DARK-

The sun never settles in the dark;
The darkness dissipates one second interval;
Atmospheric change instantaneous;
Start has no place to run;
1 second contingency.;
Lingering spiring shadows;
Have no effect on me;
I am the speck of light;

One ditto, one spark;
Diminishes darkness;

With Ingrid Below

Alas my mind so lofty,  silence broods with the past 
My mouth resounds a freedom anthem and sorrow diminishes 
as my eyes fall upon her portrait.

With ingrid below, 

I proclaim her pearls of wisdom 
pon the embers of community.
Bless the smouldering windswepts 
as they strive to hold the fire 

With ingrid below,

they walk shadowed sorrowful.
