Evening welcomes night
With the diminishing sun
As day is tired...

Half moon is in the sky,
Half heart is after the life
Fulfilling or diminishing....

Half moon in the sky
Half heart after the life
Who knows, diminishing or fulfilling....

 the wind slight diminishing

As my days are fast diminishing in number

I regret that many of them wasted in slumber!

shared a kiss goodbye
took in the scent of the rose
my eyes see nothing
heard crows call from distant trees
that is until the lid closed.

Gold sun rays filter
      A golden glow through Willow
Expose gold tipped blooms

Cobalt Blue streaks SkyBlue sky
      Diminishing as day flies

Her billowing dress beckons me
Her bouncing curls wave to me.
Her retreating footsteps fading away
Her diminishing frame bidding me adieu.
I realise my mistake - too late.
I never valued her love- bad fate....

Noticed recently my readership is diminishing
Guess people find in my limericks, something's missing
The pathos, the drama
Or the ills of marijuana
Well, the ones still loyal, deserve my kissing!

UMMAAA!...

I have seen people just about starting,
There’re others at the end of the rope
crisis ridden and with anguish smarting
and latched onto a diminishing hope
With sorrow no longer able to cope.

without a denial
life is brief and sticky sweet
tobacco claims me
ingested, it now eats me
still, it draws me, my lover  

malformed cells heedless
spread diminishing myself
imploding, anxious
still I rise blessing, loving
cancer is not me, I am...

One day
I saw
Up high
Above, a
Discernable shape
Of a Golden Eagle,
Scavenger supreme,
Gliding solitary,
Amid a sky
Of cerulean hue.
Suddenly,
It veered left,
Diminishing,
In height,
Then sight,
Finally receding,
Beyond
The Mountain
Of Bennachie....

Limerick: Once an upset farmer in Xin Jia Po

Once an upset farmer in Xin Jia Po*
Built farms upwards in tiers: O! Vertigo!
Produce diminishing
UFOs pilfering
Now he sows wild oats in Infierno!

Maybe we should erect a love story to Croydon
Celebrate its Pound shops
and diminishing shopping spaces
Love a shank bone instead of a unmeritorious knife
and await the snow
hoping its gritted
in your Bankrupt Croydon
so wonderfully mismanaged...

There's not a reason for intense anguish
It's self induced
Produced
Preventing
Happiness
Creating less
Diminishing me
Into a tightly wound ball of worry
A single soul on a starless night
Longing for the life I'd live
If I could
Forgive
Care less
Give more
Just exist....

Why curtain down
It's like closing eyes
The hammer falling
Sinking beneath
Dropping off
     the face 
       of 
         the 
      Earth
The diminishing
   sound of 
     the final bell
Closing the lid
Staying there
    silently
  not making a
              fuss
...

crowds illegal
gatherings banished
events cancelled
church forbidden
handshake hesitation
hugs unwelcome
touch diminishing

connection seeking
kindness desired
generosity needed
prayers embraced
smiles still legal
laughter not banished
phone calls welcome

Streak of light
"Cross a darkening sky
Travel afar
To meet my eye.
Not seen for many
A decade past
Return once more 
through spaces vast.
Diminishing brightness
Fades to grey
This rock and ice
Recede away.
Once more to hurl
Through time and space
Away from us
The human race....

She is not just any old ship.
She is a warrior, tried and true.
USS Iowa.
I have a plethora of stories about her.
That I share with no one.
For to share would feel like being dismissive.
I cannot dishonor her by disclosing her secrets.
It would feel also like diminishing my time served....

This fate is severely mangled
fierce storms define its exterior
And in this daze, 
they do not cease
Heartstrings tear its beliefs,
and fatality enjoys it

Shades withstand its 
diminishing effects
So without pace
its slowing trance atones
Passion draws its pangs
and futility reminds it...

Busy busy day
No time to stop~pray
Internal strong light 
Diminishing out
Candle going now

If only prayed
A few seconds
Feeding candle
Holy Spirit

No prayer 
Candle flame
Now flickers

Small test 
Lights out

Sad

In honor of Paula Swanson's 
contest: "By Candle Light"

One moment is a do-over for another,
we are chained to on-going trains of thought,

yet the mind is an ever diminishing cloud
let it disappear into clarity.

What am I saying?
Let clouds pass, be an observer.

Soon the watcher
will be the one you watch.

Keep watching
soon you will disappear....

I feel the world crashing around me,
my breath fading.

Pain surges through my body.

I fear my hope of life is diminishing.

All is lost I can feel the regret of every lost sole.

I long for relief but all I feel is torture.

When will it all end, when will the last hour be, how will I suffer death?...
