Short Diminuendo Poems

March in with a slam 
Awakening from slumber 
Roaring with thunder 
Comes in fiercely like a lion 
Humbly leaves like a lame lamb

When
you have played
noteworthy moves
early in a relationship
                        and the harmony
                    becomes discordant
it's time to backpedal…
diminuendo.

             da capo
follow love's lead

In the darkness, extravaganza,
Flaming, blazing drama,
Sky rockets and sparklers,
So spectacular, 
Fireworks in my brain,
Flaming illumination, 
Catherine wheels,
Are you for real?
The pyrotechnics
Was it all a squib?
Crescendo..
To diminuendo...

I float down from clouds above,
Another little death of love........

lusty leaves wave
rusty rhythm plays
airy accordion pukes
callous concerto's tune
mystic music melt
smothering saucy crest

dark diminuendo dribbles
hoisting hankering wrinkles
seeped'n sassy treble

like tactic tiers
severed syllables smeared
on papyrus's peers

same spell squashes
emotion love lodges.

crushed concerto cruised
bounty braces bruised
salient seal scrunchy
dark diminuendo dusty
lanky hoists lured
vying voluptuous lurch

wet wits wanky
punctured pills curvy
hoisted heels hefty

saucy syllables scared
hoity bills bear
porous pen's pear

lofty gaunt gifts
etched airy gills.

smirks drip dances
seeped'n rustic rhythm
birthing moaning melody
spanked by surges
airy ambiguity fostered
callous concerto register

punctured piano pulses
riveting reeling rises
squashing sassy capillaries

then haughty halt
diminuendo digs gore
perforating pulpy pores

hoisted hankering fart:
callous emotions' cart.

thunder sound dashes
                                         lightning fissure quickly dips 
                                            jig jag cross lines' flash

                                               starts rainy music
                                         with hissing crescendo to
                                                    diminuendo...

pulpy passion puked
perforating punctured view
dark dances dripped
hoisted crippled hankerings
sassy seals spent
salient sieves etched

wanky wits wept
damping callous crest
beauty politics belched

dark diminuendo drooled
nocturnal nauseated clue
saucy syllables stool

felon fate's fostered
vying voluptuous triggers.

eerie contractions etched
fostering fractured fetch
poring punctured pulses
worn winds wield
felon feigns drooped
hoisting hankering drools

bruised barks moaned
heaving sigh sown
by blitzkrieg enthroned

dark diminuendo dribble
cupping callous cripple
nocturnal nature nimble

spunky shaver severed
rondure creeps revered.
    '20:04:04:11:30

wet wits worn
perforating pulpy pawn
pestered passion puked
cremating clipped cruise
hoisted hankering drooled
felon fate bruised

meagre metamorphoses moaned
spurring sassy sow
gullible gifts grown

dark diminuendo birthed
dribbling crescendos fitted
rusty rhythm rusticated

felon ambiguity flown
by blitzkrieg blown.
      '20:04:17:19:26

Note: Of airy ambiguity....

[Re-posted]

From dregs
of twilight embers,
pale dawn’s embrace—
and naught but rusty glow
stolid umbra to banish,
in wan resolve,
from these, my solitary rooms.

Echoes.
Small children laughing,
afar and ago—
profound diminuendo.
Still, I grasp—
clutching sand—
a dying world to hold.

But pain’s recall
subsists—
and, shuddering,
ebbs,
into my eyes—
drips through my fingers
and onto the floor....

Reena gazed at the evening in the melting twilight
Oranges splattered in the sinking sunlight
Mandolins playing lovely diminuendo
A rustling breeze leaving messages
Night emerging from the passing evening
Toni enters with the smiling bouquet of the roses
Indian ocean accompanying him 
Cuddle calls the blue moon deep inside the hungry room

The piano keyboard, a complex rhyme,
The pianist discovered a repertoire of music,
Played with crescendo and diminuendo,
A normal rhyme with a flutter of notes,
Cascading like a waterfall,
Songs of yesteryear ever popular,
She commanded the keys of the piano,
Like a monarch and her kingdom,
The sound flowed like an eternal rainbow,
Bright and pure, strong and vibrant,
A conversation between the pianist and God.

Playing soccer on my small nintendo
I envied great stars like ronaldo
The great pele and romario
"Ronaldo,ronaldo"
The music rises to a cresendo
Right from my small nintendo
I could hear the rhythm of the piano 
And my blood ripples at the sound of the concerto
I danced until i'm lost in the solo 
Suddenly i was revived by the  diminuendo 
Of this mystic sound from my nintendo
I checked the terminal to the audio 
Oh!,it has been disconnected by antonio
My friend from colorado...
